Placing Film or Slides
Removing the Document Mat
To scan film strips or slides, you need to remove the document
mat from the scanner cover. This uncovers the transparency
unit window so your scanner can use it to scan your film or
slides.
1. Open the scanner cover and gently slide up the document
mat to remove it.
2. Use a non-abrasive microfiber cloth to wipe the document
table before placing your film or slides.
To place film for scanning, see the next section.
To place slides for scanning, see page 5.
Placing Film in the Holder
1. Open the cover of the 35 mm film strip holder.
2. Slide your film strip all the way into the film holder with the
shiny base side facing down. Your images and any wording
on the film strip should appear backwards on the side that
faces up.
Note:
Hold the edge of the film gently or use gloves to touch the film;
otherwise you may damage the film.
Make sure the white stickers on the back of the film holder and
the areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in
any way. If the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble
recognizing your film in Full Auto Mode.
Do not cover the small holes in the film holder.
3. Close the cover and press it down until you hear a click.

7. Close the scanner cover.
When you are finished scanning film, be sure to replace the
document mat before scanning documents or photos. See
page 6.
Placing Slides in the Holder
You can scan up to four 35 mm slides at a time using the slide
portion of the film holder.
Note:
Make sure the white stickers on the back of the film holder and the
areas around them are not scratched, dusty, or covered in any way. If
the areas are obscured, the scanner may have trouble recognizing
your slides in Full Auto Mode.
Do not cover the small holes on the film holder.
1. Place the film holder on the document table so that it is
aligned as shown. Make sure the tab with the slide icon on
the film holder fits into the area with the same icon on the
scanner.
2. Place up to four slides in the film holder with the shiny base
side facing down. Your images should appear backwards on
the side that faces up. Your images should be oriented as
shown.
Note:
Make sure you place the long edge of the slide in the film holder
as shown above, for both landscape and portrait-oriented photos.
3. Make sure you removed the document mat. See page 4.
4. Close the scanner cover.
When you are finished scanning slides, be sure to replace
the document mat before scanning documents or photos.

Scanning and Restoring Photos
Using the Color Restoration feature in Epson Scan, you can
transform old, faded, or badly exposed photos into ones with
true-to-life color. You can restore printed photos, negative film,
or slides automatically as you scan them.

Home, or Professional Mode. For detailed steps, see the

Removing Dust From Photos, Film, or
Slides
Using the Dust Removal feature in Epson Scan’s Full Auto,
Home, or Professional Mode, you can virtually “clean” the dust
marks from printed photo, film, or slides as you scan them. For
detailed steps, see the on-screen User’s Guide.
Fixing Backlit Photos
Using the Backlight Correction feature in Epson Scan’s Home
or Professional Mode, you can remove shadows from photos
that have too much background light. You can fix printed
photos, film, or slides automatically as you scan them. For
detailed steps, see the on-screen User’s Guide.
Note:
Backlight Correction is not available in Full Auto Mode.
Reading the Status Light
If an error occurs, the scanner stops operating and the status
light flashes red. This indicates the scanner is not connected to
your computer properly or your software is not fully installed.
See the Start Here sheet that came with your scanner for
instructions on installing the scanner software and connecting
the scanner to your computer.
After trying these solutions, unplug the scanner, then plug it
back in.
If the scanner light is still flashing:
❏The scanner may be malfunctioning.
❏The scanner lamp may need to be replaced.
Contact Epson. See the on-screen User’s Guide for details.

Transporting the Scanner
Before transporting the scanner for a long distance or storing it
for an extended period of time, the scanner’s carriage needs to
be in the center position to prevent damage.
1. Make sure the carriage is in the center position of the
scanner.
❏If the scanner is plugged in and connected to your
computer, the carriage will move to the center position
after scanning.
❏If the scanner is turned off and the carriage is not in the
center position, plug in the scanner, connect it to your
computer, and wait about 15 seconds for the carriage to
move to the center position.
2. Unplug the AC adapter to turn the scanner off.
3. Attach the packing materials that came with the scanner,
then repack the scanner in its original box or a similar box
that fits the scanner snugly.
