Tips for scanning transparent items
● To scan items larger than those that the transparent materials adapter (TMA)
accepts, 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 10 cm x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches). 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 that you select. The scanner will scan
the item to the size that you select and adjust the scan resolution as appropriate.
