Slide and film mounts
Both positive and negative film can be mounted into a
35 mm frame. These frames can vary widely in
thickness and material. Typical 35 mm film mounts are
either plastic or glass. The scanner can accommodate
film holders that are 50 mm wide by 3 mm thick.
The film is assumed to be at the center of the slide
mount as shown in Figure 4.3. The scanner is self­
adjusting. Thus, regardless of the thickness of the slide
mount, the center of the film will be automatically
positioned at the center of the focal field. Additional
focusing may be required for extremely high-resolution
slides.

4-2 Operation to Use a Slide Film
Film mounted in a slide frame is inserted into the
scanner in a similar fashion as a 3.5” disk is inserted
into a disk drive. The slide frame is pushed into the slot
in the front of the scanner. When inserting a slide, make
sure that the slide is pushed into the scanner such that
the outward edge of the slide is flush with the face of
the scanner. This is easily accomplished by pushing the
slide into the scanner with one’s thumb until the thumb
bumps into the face of the scanner.
Since the slide frame is typically square, it could be
inserted in any orientation. However, the orientation of
the slide frame when inserted in the computer will affect
the scanning process.

first (will scan entire film)

first (will cause clipping)
This operation is incorrect.
