• Store the protective sheet in a safe place so that it will not get bent or broken.
• Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the light
source in the document cover.
• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality, and
take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
• Do not block the calibration slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not be
scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.
• Close the Film Guide securely. Press lightly until it clicks into place.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the film guide on the side near
the calibration slot.
