frame. Position the desired frame for scanning so that the film strip holder window
properly frames the image.
Inserting the Film Strip Holder into the Scanner
The film strip holder is inserted into Coolscan by holding the back end of the
holder and pushing the front end into the film slot of the scanner. The holder should
be pushed in gently until the triangular notches on the sides of the holder, and/or the
silver line across it are flush with the face of the scanner. If inserted correctly, the film
strip holder window will be entirely inside the scanner slot and out of view.
Never power on the scanner while the film strip holder is in the scanner slot.
Doing so will interfere with the scanner’s normal startup calibration procedure,
resulting in incorrect color capture while scanning, and possible SCSI errors.
It is best to align the film strip holder before inserting it into Coolscan so that it is
in the same plane as the scanner’s film slot, and it will insert straight into the scanner.
This is illustrated in Figure 4.15.

When the film strip holder is inserted and in the proper position to commence
scanning, it will extend out of the front of Coolscan, as shown in Figure 4.16.
