The Scan Frames come in a number of sizes, including 120mm, 4 x 5 inch, and 35 mm slide holder. The Negative Film Holder is a rectangular-plastic frame with two rows, each row can hold 6 negatives. A rubber cover is placed on the film holder to prevent the negatives bending while on the scanner's object glass. 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. Select a Scan Frame size, which will hold the original source document without covering up the orientation holes. Select the "Frame Holder" option from MagicScan if you use frame holder. Or select "Negative Film Holder" if you use the Negative Film Holder for negatives. For detailed information on using frame holders, refer to your MagicScan Electronic Book.
