Scanning negatives
To scan 35 mm negatives, use the XPA light source, the positioning
plate, and the negative holder. When scanning fewer than four
negative frames, you also need the negative light shield.
To scan negatives
1 With the XPA light source connected to its port on the scanner,
restart the software.
2 Place the positioning plate on the scanner glass so the arrow is in
the upper right-hand corner. Push the positioning plate toward the
top right corner.
3 Slide the strip of negatives into the negative holder. If the negative
strip curves, the curve should be facing out toward you.
CAUTION Negatives are easily damaged. Touch them only on
the edges.
4 If you are scanning a strip of negatives with fewer than four frames,
insert the negative light shield after the negative strip. See the icon
on the negative holder for assistance.
5 Slide the negative holder into the slide holder on the bottom side of
the XPA light source.
