6.2 Film Insertion
The COOLSCAN II can scan different types of 35mm positive/
negative monochrome/color images. In addition, it can scan a
film strip of up to 6 frames or single film ‘chips’.
Insertion of Mounted slides
The COOLSCAN II can scan mounted slides as they are.
• Confirm that the thickness of the mounted slides to be
scanned is between 1.1mm and 3.0mm.
• Ensure that the emulsion surface is facing up.
When the scanner is installed vertically, insert the mounted
slide so that the emulsion surface is facing toward the right
(shiny surface facing left).
When the scanner is installed horizontally, insert the
mounted slide so that the emulsion surface is facing
downward (shiny surface facing upward).
* All film has an emulsion surface and a base surface. The
emulsion surface is slightly dull and concave. The base
surface is slightly convex and is shinier than the emulsion
surface.
Insert the mounted slide lengthways until it touches the back of
the scanning stage.
Note: Do not insert the mounted slide so that the width and
length of the mount are reversed. If you do so, the COOLSCAN II
will not be able to scan both sides of the mounted slide.
