• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality, and
take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
• Do not block the Calibration Slot on the Film Guide when scanning film. Colors will not be
scanned correctly if the Calibration Slot is obstructed.

Ensure that there is no gap between the edge of the film and the Film Guide on the side near
the Calibration Slot.
