• Always put the protective sheet back when you are not scanning film to protect the  
light source in the document cover.  
2 Insert the film into the Film Guide.  
• Use a blower brush to remove any dust from the film, which will affect the image quality,  
and take care to hold the film by its edges to avoid transferring dirt or fingerprints to it.
