FAQ / Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution

How can I get the best quality scan possible?

| Ensure the film/slides are clean and that you clean the inside of the scanner with the

included cleaning brush immediately before scanning. See pg. 10 for instructions on how to use the cleaning brush.

How should I prepare the film/ slides to ensure the best possible scan?| The film/slide should be free of any dust/ fingerprints. This can be done with an appropriate cleaning cloth.
I’ve noticed a consistent spot on every slide I have scanned. Is something wrong with my scanner?| There is likely a small amount of dust inside your unit. Use the included cleaning brush to ensure there is no foreign debris. See pg. 10 for instructions on how to use the cleaning brush.

Do I need a computer to begin scanning?

| Everything is plug-and-play right out of the box. You can save images to an SD card (up to 128GB) or the scanner’s internal memory (64MB). You can then export to a computer at a time that is more convenient.
What file format are the images saved as?| The files are automatically saved in JPEG format.

The scanner screen is black but it has power.

| Ensure an HDMI cable is not connected to the back of the film scanner. Confirm the USB power source is 5V 1A and test with another USB power source.

Can I use this to scan raw film or do I need to develop the negatives first?

| ****

The scanner will work for developed film only.

I cannot see all my images on the computer.

| If an SD Card is inserted your computer will only see images saved on the SD Card. The SD Card must be removed to see images saved on the internal storage.

Where can I recycle my old slides, negatives, film?

| ****

Older film and photos can contain chemicals that make them difficult to recycle. For proper recycling/disposal information please consult with your local recycling company.

My slides/negatives scanned images have faded colors.

| ****

Over time slides and negatives can degrade and the colors fade. Ensure your slides/ negatives are clean and use the color adjustment options when scanning.

The colors in my scanned images are reversed/negative.

| ****

Change the film type in the menu to Negative to scan properly.

What does the error “ERROR: MEMORY FULL” mean?

| This means that the internal memory or SD Card is full. See pg. 11 for formatting the storage to delete all photos and clear space. It is recommended to use an SD Card when scanning multiple photos.
