Hasselblad 949 - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction
The Slide Feeder is an optional accessory for Flextight 949 Scanners. It
enables you to use your scanner to load individual slides and to batch
scan up to 50 slides at a time. It features a removable magazine, which
enables operators to scan one magazine while a second magazine is being
loaded.
While in use, the Slide Feeder loads slides one at a time from the
magazine and into the scanner, where light is shown through the slide
and the image is scanned to your computer. The mechanism itself
is similar to those typically used in slide projectors that have linear
magazines. This process is repeated until all selected slides have been
scanned.
This manual provides important information about using the Slide
Feeder for your Flextight 949 Scanner.
Important Warnings and Restrictions
Read all of the included documentation before attempting to install
and use the Slide Feeder.
Never mount or unmount the Slide Feeder when the scanner is
switched on.
Always use the standard, software-guided procedure when mounting
or unmounting the Slide Feeder from your scanner. See “Mounting
and Unmounting the Slide Feeder” on page 8 for details.
Keep the original box in which the Slide Feeder was delivered to you.
This box is made of sturdy cardboard and includes a foam lining
custom cut to hold the Slide Feeder safely and securely. Always store
the Slide Feeder in this box when you are not using it. If you must
return the Feeder to Hasselblad for service, you must use this box for
shipping or the shipment will be refused. See “Preparing the Slide
Feeder for Storage and Transport” on page 32 for instructions.
