Before using the lm scanner, please read this manual carefully for a full
understanding of how to use it safely and correctly.
Safety information
1. Important: To prolong the life of this product, do not expose it to rain or
moisture.
2. Caution: Do not disassemble this unit. To prevent the risk of electric shock, do
not remove cover.
3. Ventilation: The device should be located to allow for proper ventilation. For
example, do not situate on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface that may block
the ventilation openings.
4. Heat: The device should be situated away from heat sources, such as radiators
or stoves.
5. Cleaning: Use a clean, dry, non-alcohol cotton swab to clean the glass surface
periodically in order to ensure a clear image.
6. Non-use period: The USB cord for the device should be unplugged from the
computer when the unit is left unused for a long period of time.
7. USB overloading: To ensure that there is enough available power to operate
the scanner, do not overload the USB connections on your computer with too
many devices at once.
8. Servicing: Do not attempt to service your device beyond the means described
in this manual. All servicing should be done by a qualied person.
Please note: The design of the lm holder follows ISO* standards. In some cases,
the holes on the lm may not match exactly to the alignment of the holder. This is
caused by a non-standard camera and will result in a small black line on the edge
of the frame, which can be easily cropped out using photo editing software.
For environmental protection and energy conservation, the device will power off
automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Loading slides
Hold the slide up to the light, with the trademark
side facing away from you. When you look through
the slide, the image should appear the correct way
round, not a mirror image.
Rotate the slide 180 degrees, turning the slide so
that the image is upside down while still looking at
the same side.
With the slide holder laid open, place the slide into
the recessed area in the holder. The slide should  t
perfectly.
Note: Handle slides with care. Any dust, scratches
or  ngerprints will show on your saved images.
We highly recommend that you wear cotton gloves
when handling and use Kenair Clean Air Duster to
remove any dust on the slide.
Close the slide holder and press the edges so
that it locks in place.
Hold it in the position shown above, then
insert the slide holder into the slot on the
right side of the  lm & photo scanner.

Loading negatives
Hold the negative up to the light. As you look
through, you should be able to read the small
negative numbers normally, not a mirror image.
Rotate the negative 180 degrees, turning it so that
the image is upside down while still looking at the
same side.
With the negative holder laid open, place the
negative into the holder so that the notches line up.
Note: Handle negatives with care. Any dust,
scratches or ngerprints will show on your saved
images. We highly recommend that you wear cotton
gloves when handling and use Kenair Clean Air
Duster to remove any dust on the negative.
Close the negative holder and press the edges
so that it locks in place.
Hold it in the position shown above, then
insert the negative holder into the slot on
the right side of the lm & photo scanner.
The design of the negative holder follows ISO (International Organisation for
Standardisation) standards. In some cases, the holes on the lm will not match
exactly to the alignment of the holder. This is caused by a non-standard camera.
If this is the case, there will be a small black line on the edge of the frame that
can be easily cropped out using photo editing software.

Loading photos
Position the brackets according to the marked dimensions on the photo tray. Note
that for 7x5” photographs, the brackets do not need to be tted into the photo
tray.
Place the brackets into the slots and slide them downwards to secure. Check that
they are securely fastened by turning the photo tray upside down. The brackets
should not fall off.
Insert the item to be scanned into the appropriate-sized photo tray (7x5”, 6x4”,
3.5x5” or business card).
Insert the photo tray into the photo tray slot on top of the lm & photo scanner.
Note:
• Please use the provided OCR CD to format business cards.
• Handle photos with care. Any dust, scratches or ngerprints will be visible on
your saved images.
• Scanned business cards will be captured with a standard dimension of 91x55mm.
The scanned image will have a slight border around the outside edge.

9. Troubleshooting
Q: There is a stripe at the edge of my image.
A: Gently adjust the position of the slide holder until the stripe is no longer
visible on the preview. If the problem persists, please contact Kenro for
technical support.
Q: The device cannot connect to my PC.
A: If there is no power to the device, please check the connections at each
end of your USB cable to ensure that it is properly and rmly tted to
both the scanner and the PC. If connections are rm and secure but the
problem persists, try a different USB port on your PC. It may help to use
a slot on the back that connects directly to the motherboard, rather than
the front panel. If there is power to the device, but the PC fails to
recognise it, follow the steps in section 8 (page 14). If the problem
persists, please contact Kenro for technical support.
