3. Connect the cable to the connector on the side panel of the scanner, then gently close the document cover.
   You need to calibrate the scanner before scanning the film for the first time. Do not place a film strip in the film adapter unit at this point as it is not required for calibration.

   Do not block the calibration slot on the film guide when scanning film. Colors will not be scanned correctly if the calibration slot is obstructed.

9. Close the film adapter unit until it clicks, and then gently close the document cover.
   The document cover does not touch the document glass. Be careful not to force the document cover down.

10. Click [OK] on the preview message window. The scanned image is displayed in the preview area.

• Do not leave the film strip in the film adapter unit for an extended period of time as heat from the unit may damage the film.
• For more information on scanning film, see “Scanning Film” in the Scanning Guide.

Positioning the Scanner

Horizontal Position

• The document cover fully opens to allow easy scanning of large or bound documents. An oversized document can be scanned section by section into a single image using the stitch-assist function of CanoScan Toolbox. For details, see the Scanning Guide.
• Hold the document cover with one hand, and press and hold at the base hinge as you carefully lower the cover all the way down.

Do not place items that weigh 2.0 kg or more on the scanner. The scanner may not work or you may break the document glass if you press down the document glass firmly.

Cover the scanner with a black cloth if external light enters around the scanned item.

Upright Position

• If you are scanning thin documents (i.e., a single sheet or double-folded sheet), this position saves the most space. Thick documents or film cannot be scanned in this position.
• Pull out the stand on the bottom of the scanner until it clicks, and set the scanner upright on a flat stable surface. Gently open the document cover as far as it goes (stops at approximately 40?) and slide down the document along the document cover.

• Do not force the document cover open; it does not fully open when the scanneris in the upright position.
• Always close and secure the document cover first when lifting the scanner in the upright position.
