3. Safety instructions Improper use of the scanner and accessories puts you and others at risk of danger and may damage or destroy the scanner, so please read and observe strictly the following safety instructions, hazard warnings and general warnings. Purpose of use The Film Scanner is intended for use in dry, enclosed spaces only. It is designed for personal use and is not suitable for commercial applications.
Do not wrap anything around the Film Scanner and do not place it on top of clothing or textiles. This can potentially cause a build-up of heat within the unit, causing the housing to deform, and there is a risk of fire. Injuries and material damage Place the Film Scanner on stable, robust surfaces only. Otherwise the scanner may fall down or fall over, becoming damaged and causing injury. To avoid overheating, ensure adequate ventilation and do not cover up the Film Scanner.
4. Overview of device Cleaning brush Negative holder Slide feeder Note: • This Film Scanner supports only Windows XP SP2 and above, Vista, Windows 7 and USB 2.0. • In the interests of getting clear images at all times, it is advisable to clean the glass surface of the scanner’s media bay often using the cleaning brush (included) or a clean, dry cotton bud free of alcohol.
5. Inserting negatives Open the negative holder at the position marked “Open” and place the holder, opened, in front of you as shown below. Then place the negatives the usual way up (neither turned nor upside down) into the recesses provided in the holder for this purpose. Use the numbering on every negative strip as a guide. Close the negative holder and press down on the edges until they click into place.
6. Inserting slides The supplied Film magazine can be used for slides of a variety of thicknesses up to a maximum of 3.2 mm. Before using the magazine it must be set to the thickness of the slides to be scanned. Use the sliding button on the upper side of the slide feeder to choose from three thicknesses (see picture): 1) Upper position: for cardboard-framed slides up to 1.0 mm 2) Middle position: for CS slides up to 2.3 mm 3) Lower position: for slides up to 3.
Note: • If the slide feeder is inserted into the scanner from the wrong side you will damage the scanner’s protective flaps! Such damage cannot be repaired under warranty! Slides placed in the bay are pushed into the scanner one by one using the lever located on the side of the slide feeder. To do this, first push the lever away from the scanner all the way until it stops. Then move the lever carefully back towards the scanner.
7. Removing dust from scanner optics Open the NimoFilm program just as if you were going to scan in an image (see page 15). Do not insert either the slide feeder or the negative holder into the scanner. You will now see in the NimoFilm preview window where any dust has gathered. Switch, within the program, between the “Slide” and “Negative” settings to detect further dirt or dust. You can now remove the dust using the cleaning brush.

Note: • Upon scanning in, negatives are converted immediately into positive images.
