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. 7 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. 7 for instructions on how to use the cleaning brush. |
