Scan Frames are thin, hinged, rectangular-shaped plastic frames (see following diagrams) which can hold a source document of a slightly smaller size. The Scan Frames come in a number of sizes, including 35mm, 120mm, 6 x 6 cm and, 4 x 5 inch. When one or more of these frames are placed on the scanner's object glass and the "Scan" 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. 3. 4. 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.
