document glass.
• Ensure that there is no gap between the 
edge of the film and the film guide on the 
side near the calibration slot.
Using a Film Retainer Sheet
Curled film strips can stick to the document glass 
and cause a pattern of rings called Newton Rings to 
appear on the scanned image. If this occurs, scan 
using the supplied film retainer sheet as shown in 
the diagram.
(A)Scan with the film retainer sheet inserted 
beneath the film.
(B)If Newton Rings still appear after following 
Instruction (A), turn the film strip over and place 
it in the film holder with the film retainer sheet on 
top so that the film edges are held down for 
scanning. Then preview the image in ScanGear 
and click the [Mirror] button to reverse the image 
before initiating the final scan.
To avoid damaging the film, always place the 
glossy side (the side without an illustration) 
of the film retainer sheet against the film.
