4. Steps to scan slides and negatives

Step

Action

Set up the scanner for use (see Steps to set up

the scanner for use above)

Remove the document mat from the

transparency unit if it is in place.

Instructions for inserting and removing

the document mat are illustrated on the

transparency unit.

Check that the transparency guide is

installed

Load you slides or negatives face down into the appropriate film holder.

TIPS

The default orientation for Up is to the left

If your slides have a dot in the corner used as an aid for placing slides into a

carousel, turn the slide so that the dot is facing down and is in the top right

corner.

If you are using two film holders at once, the last column won’t be scanned

and should be left empty.

Place the film holder(s) onto the scanner ensuring

that the holders do not cover the glass to the left of

the notch on the transparency guide. This area is

left clear to calibrate the scanner prior to scanning.

Check the Thumbnail box below the preview button and then performa a preview

scan. This should give you a set of spearate thumbnail images corresponding to each

slide/negative.

If there are problems with cropping (usually with very dark/bright images) you may

have to uncheck the Thumbnail box and repeat the preview. In this case you will have

to marquee select each individual image (or just the image that has a problem)

User Guide for Epson1000XL Scanner Page 6

Check the orientation and cropping of the thumbnail images.

The two buttons in the Frame section of the dialogue box allow you to rotate

the image in 90° increments if it’s orientation is incorrect, and mirror the image

horizontally if the film has been placeed upside down.

Thumbnails have the check box below them selected by default. If you don’t

want to scan an image, simply uncheck this box.

If some thumbnails are incorrectly cropped, these may have to be scanned

separately via a full preview.

Start the scan.

Only the selected image will be scanned. To scan all images, click on the All button

and then start the scan.

A warning will appear when scanning at higher resolutions regardless of the

resulting image size. Ignore this warning and continue.

What to do while waiting.

Scanning can take over a minute per slide, with a batch potentially taking up to an

hour. After the first image has been scanned you can begin doing additional colour

correction and editing (Photoshop) or adding metadata to the image via the File Info in

Adobe Bridge.
