Orientation of the original and scanned image
Please refer to the illustrations below for the relationship between
the orientation of the original when scanning and that of the scanned
image when displayed on the computer screen.
NOTE: Scanning the same original in different orientations
may produce scanned images that look slightly different in
color tones and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
Cropping on scanned images
In order for the scanner to determine the correctness of the scanned
image data, some cropping on the scanned image may occur. Please
refer to the illustration below.
NOTE: When scanning darker originals (for example, a photo
of the night sky), over-cropping may occur. Please insert the
original in a different direction (orientation) and try again.

Using the anti-curl sheath
For your older, fragile photographs, we suggest to use the supplied
anti-curl sheath before scanning. It also helps eliminate the
possibility of de-focusing due to the uneven surface of the curled
photos.
NOTE: To prevent the photos stuck in the sheath over time,
please do not leave the photo in the anti-curl sheath after
scanning.
Supported memory card types
• MS (MemoryStick)
• MS Pro
• MS Pro Duo (adapter required)

1. Insert the photo into
the anti-curl sheath as
shown.

sheath (with the folded
side first) into the
feeding slot of the
scanner.

File naming and storage rules
• If the memory card is used with the
scanner for the first time, the scanner
creates a folder named “FotoIMG” in
the root directory to store the
scanned image files. Each image file
has a prefix “IMG_” followed by a 4-
digit serial number in the sequence
the image is stored.
• If the file name reaches
IMG_9999.jpg in the “FotoIMG”
folder, another new folder named
“FotoIMG1” will automatically be
created to store subsequent new files,
and so on.
• If the memory card already contains
folders created by the scanner, the
scanner will store the images in the
last folder created.
• There can be up to 10 folders
(FotoIMG, FotoIMG1... FotoIMG9)
on a memory card. If exceeded,
delete some files on the memory card
or use another one if necessary.
