Figure 1-1 Load slides
Figure 1-2 Load negatives
To load slides or negatives in the TMA, follow these steps:
1. Open the scanner lid.
2. Remove the negative strip holder from the slide holder.
3. Do one of the following to load the slides or negatives:
• If you are scanning slides, place the slides into the slide holder. Insert the slides
with the top of the slides pointing up and with the front of the slides facing you,
making sure that the slides are flat and do not overlap.
• If you are scanning negatives, do the following:
a. Remove the light-shield from the negative strip holder.
b. Slide a negative strip into the negative strip holder so that the shiny side of the
negative faces you. Negatives are easily damaged, so you should touch them
only on their edges.
