Chapter 3: Placing Your Originals 25
Using the Single Slide Holders
You put your originals in a single slide holder to make sure that the original lies flat on the glass
plate and to avoid overexposure near the edges. There are three sizes of single slide holders: 35
mm, 6 x 6 cm, and 4 x 5 inch. To scan a transparent original using a single slide holder, carry out
the following instructions:
1 Put your original in the appropriate single slide holder.
2 Center the original on the universal transparency plate so that its top side is directed towards
the calibration slit. This position guarantees the best quality.
1. 35 mm single slide holder
2. 6 x 6 cm single slide holder
3. 4 x 5 inch single slide holder
3 Fix the single slide holder on the universal transparency plate by pushing it firmly down.
The rear of the holder has a glass adhesive strip, so the frame is secured to the glass. The
holder can still be removed easily.
4 Put the universal transparency plate into the transparency tray of the scanner with the Agfa
logo at the top.
The specifications (resolution,...) of the scanner apply to the whole scan area. However, image
quality is always at its optimum in the middle of the scan area.
