Hardware manual

Loading mounted slides

Up to four mounted 35mm or APS slides can be insert-

ed into the slide mount holder. The slide mounts must

be between 1 mm and 2 mm thick to fit the holder.

Glass mounts cannot be used; the glass refracts the

light resulting in distorted and unevenly illuminated

scans.

Hold the slide mount holder so that the slots are to the

top and the frame numbers are upside-down and face

up. Insert the slides into the holder emulsion side down. The

slide must be parallel with the length of the holder otherwise the top

and bottom of the image area will be cropped.

Loading a film holder into the scanner

Insert the film holder into the scanner in the

direction indicated by the arrow. Hold the hold-

er straight and level when inserting it into the

scanner.

Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility; see the software instruction manual.

With the front door closed, turn on the scanner and then start the computer. Launch the DiMAGE

Scan Utility before inserting the film holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the

utility software is launching or the scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks during this peri-

od.

When the indicator lamp glows steadily, open

the front door until the top of the door is

aligned with the 35mm film-holder mark.

Carefully push the holder into the scanner until

the arrow mark (1) is aligned with the scanner

door; the holder will be automatically fed into

the scanner from that point. Never touch or hin-

der the holder when it is in the scanner.
