Placing transparent originals
Caution: Always use the template for scanning transparent originals. Make sure that the calibration slit is
not covered by the transparent original and that it is clean.
You need the transparency option to scan transparent originals. You use it as follows:
1. Install the transparency option: refer to Appendix A, “Using the transparency option”
2. Raise the transparency option.
3. Place the original that you want to scan on the glass plate with the emulsion down, that is, with
the matte side down, and with its top side towards the calibration slit. This position guarantees
the best quality. Make sure that the calibration slit in the frame is at the front side (standing in
front of the scanner) and that it is free. To see where the calibration slit is situated, you have to
use the template that is delivered with the transparency option.
If you place more than one slide on the glass plate (for batch scanning), position them as close
to the center line as possible to optimize quality.
4. Lower the transparency option.
You are ready to scan now.
