Loading mounted slides
Up to four mounted 35mm or APS slides can be
inserted into the slide mount holder. The slide
mounts must be between 1 mm and 2 mm thick
to fit the holder. Glass mounts cannot be used;
the glass refracts the light resulting in distort-
ed and unevenly illuminated scans. Do not
leave slide mounts in the holder.
Hold the slide mount holder so that the
slots are to the top and the frame num-
bers are upside-down and face up. Insert the
slides into the holder emulsion side down. The slide
must be parallel with the length of the holder otherwise the
top and bottom of the image area will be cropped.

Insert the film holder into the scanner in the direction
indicated by the arrow. Hold the holder straight and level
with the orientation indicator up (2).
Carefully push the holder into the scanner until the arrow
mark (2) is aligned with the scanner door; the holder will
be automatically fed into the scanner from that point.
Never touch or hinder the holder when it is in the scan-
ner.
Loading a film holder into the scanner
Before using the scanner, install the DiMAGE Scan Utility. Confirm the front door of the scanner
is closed and then turn on the scanner. Launch the DiMAGE Scan Utility before inserting the film
holder. Do not insert the film holder into the scanner while the utility software is launching or the
scanner is initializing; the indicator lamp blinks during this period.
When the indicator lamp glows steadily, open the front
door until the top is aligned with the 35mm film-holder
mark (1).
