Scan slides and negatives

Tips for scanning slides and negatives

To scan a transparency that was used for an overhead projector, place the
transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet of paper on top of the
transparency, and then scan as usual.

When scanning a 35 mm slide or negative, the scanner software
automatically enlarges the image to approximately 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm).
If you want the final image to be larger or smaller, use the Resize tool in the
scanner software to set the scaling to the final size you want; the scanner will
scan the item at the proper resolution for the size you choose.

To scan 35 mm slides or negatives by using the TMA, press the Scan button
(

) on the scanner lid.

When cropping images, completely remove the borders to reduce excess
light interference.

Scan slides

The transparent materials adapter (TMA) enables you to scan as many as two 35
mm slides or two 35 mm negatives at one time. To scan 35 mm slides, use the
slide holder that is part of the built-in TMA.

1

Open the scanner lid.

2

Remove the negative strip holder, if present, from the slide holder.
