Leave the narrow window uncovered,

otherwise the colors in your scans will be

affected.
Make sure the unit is completely closed,

otherwise an option error results and you

will not be able to scan the document or

get correctly colored images.

Selecting Settings

In EPSON TWAIN, select

TPU - neg. Film

or

TPU - pos. Film

as the Document

Source setting, depending on the type of film (35 mm film strips or slides) you are

scanning. When previewing images of negatives scanned using a film holder, the color

may appear odd as the frame of the film holder is perceived as white, causing your

scans to appear darker. To see the correct color, click and drag the mouse over the

image area, then click the

Zoom Preview button. For details on scanner software

settings, see the electronic EPSON TWAIN User’s Guide.
