Scanning a Preview Image
Take out the sample slide included in the disk holder. You will be using the
Standard Slide Holder for this scan. Hold the mount as in the diagram in Fig. 15
below. Insert the slide so that the emulsion side of the film faces the front of the
scanner. When viewing the slide orient the picture so the text is readable. The
emulsion side is the surface furthest away from you. Since the LS-3510AF is an
autofocus scanner, it will not make much difference which way you place the
emulsion (other than image orientation, right-reading or backwards), although
sharpest results will be achieved when the emulsion faces the front of the scanner
because the imaging lens will not be reading the film through the film base, which
may reduce definition, depending on the film type.

Fig. 15 Loading the Scanner
Insert the Slide Holder into the scanner so that the slide mount is closest to
the lamp. Close the dustproof cover so that the outside light does not affect the
scan.
The sample slide is a portrait (or a vertical image) but we will leave the
default scanning orientation in the horizontal or landscape position.
