When one or more of these frames are placed on the scanner's object glass and the "Preview" button is clicked, the scanner will automatically detect the existence of each frame, using the orientation holes for reference, and will only include what is within each Scan Frame in the resulting scanned image. Ensure the Transparency Adapter is fitted before proceeding with the scan. Open the Scan Frame and place the source document inside, taking care not to cover the orientation holes. Lift up the Scanner transparency adapter and place the Scan Frame on the scanner's object glass. Carefully align the Scan Frame so that it's exactly parallel with one of the rulers bordering the scanner's object glass. You can easily do this by simply placing the Scan Frame against one of the rulers. Note: Although misalignment will not prevent the scanner from scanning, portions of the Scan Frame may appear in the resulting scan if the frame is not perfectly aligned. For detailed information on using frame holders, refer to your MagicScan online help. Also, you can select the "Frame Holder" option from the MagicScan. MagicScan will automatically detect he existence of each frame. Multiple Scanning Using the A4 / 35mm Slide Tray 1.
