Step 2 — Place Film in the Holder The film holders provided with the scanner can be used to scan 35-mm film, 35-mm slides, medium-format film, and 59 × 82 mm electron microscope film. 1 Choose a holder Choose a holder appropriate to the type of film. Film Film holder 35-mm film (in strips of up to six frames) FH-835S 35-mm slides FH-835M Medium format (120/220, 2¼ or Brownie) film or 59 × 82 mm electron microscope film FH-869S Caring for Holders and Film Keep holders and film free of dust.
2 Place film in the holder FH-835S Holder for 35-mm Film The FH-835S can be used with one or two strips of 35-mm film. Each strip can be up to six frames long. 2.1 Open the holder Insert your fingers through the holes in the bottom half of the holder and undo the latches, then open the holder. Latches 2.2 Insert film Place film in the holder with the reflective film base up and the matte emulsion surface down.
2.3 Insert masking sheets When scanning a single strip or strips of different lengths, place the film at the left end of the holder and cover any open apertures with the supplied masking sheets, cutting the sheet to the appropriate length if necessary. When scanning a single strip, place the film in the bottom row and the masking sheet in the top row. Masking sheet When scanning two strips of equal length, place the film at the left end of each row. Masking sheets are not required. 2.
FH-835M Holder for 35-mm Slides The FH-835M can be used to scan up to five 35-mm slides with mounts 1.0–3.2 mm thick. Slide the mounts into place between the guides, short side first and with the reflective film base up (the matte emulsion surface down; 26). Stop when the slides contact the base of the clips. Arrow Guides Thumbnails displayed in order shown Direction of insertion Inserting Slides Insert slides between the guides.
