Tips for scanning transparent items

To scan items larger than those that the transparent materials adapter (TMA) or
template accepts, place the transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet
of paper on top of the transparency, and then scan as described in

Scan pictures

.

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.

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