Preparing Media To Scan; Loading Negatives - Kodak Mini Digital Film Scanner Manual Del Usuario

7. PREPARING MEDIA TO SCAN

Before using your film scanner, you should either insert an SD
card (not included) as device memory is very limited, or make
sure there is enough room in the very limited device memory to
hold the pictures you want to scan.
Inserting an SD card while the device is in operation will cause
™
the film scanner to restart and you will lose any edits being made
to the image, so if you have a memory card, insert the card prior
to use.
Locate the correct adapter for your film or slide, if applicable, and
place it in the correct film or slide tray before you load the tray.
Directions for loading the trays into the scanner can be found in
the subsequent sections titled "Loading Negatives" and "Loading
Slides". These directions also apply to B&W film as well. Adapters
and trays are all clearly marked.
Flip up the top cover of
the adapter. Place insert
with your slide or film into
adapter.

8. LOADING NEGATIVES

™
1. Hold the negative up to the light, with the right side facing you.
2. Take the film negative holder out (with the correct sized
adapter if necessary) and hold it with the latch facing away
from you so that the loading arrow ◄ points left. Open the
latch; place the negative into the recessed area; and then
close the latch, making sure to press down around the edges
so that it locks into place.
3. Load the negative holder into the slot on the right side of the
film scanner.
NOTE: Always handle slide or film
negatives with care to avoid getting
scratches or fingerprints on them. We
recommend using cotton gloves to
handle negatives, and using compressed
cotton (q-tips, cotton balls, etc.) to
remove any dust that might be present
before scanning them.
Always make sure that your film negatives
are not warped or bent before inserting
them in the scanner. Warped or creased
negatives will not produce clear or
correct images.
