Scanning 35mm Slides and Negatives (Model 4800TA only)
Your Xerox 4800TA scanner can scan 35mm slides and negatives.
You can scan both positive and negative film images.
A Brief Explanation
Your scanner has sensors that capture the image of the item being
scanned. Those sensors are located in the body of the scanner.
When you scan a paper item, the light in the bottom of the scanner
shines up on the paper and reflects the paper’s image down onto
the scanning sensors. If a 35mm slide or negative is on the glass,
however, the light from the bottom of the scanner would shine up
through the transparent 35mm slide or negative and would not
reflect its image onto the sensors. That is why your scanner has a
light in its lid. When you scan a 35mm slide or negative, the light in
the bottom of the scanner turns off, and the light in the lid shines
down through the film onto the sensors to capture the film’s image.
The Scanning Masks
The scanning masks that you received with the scanner are for
both 35mm negatives and 35mm slides. The masks are in a
protective plastic bag with your scanner.
NOTE: Your Xerox 4800TA scanner uses the TWAIN interface
to scan 35mm slides and negatives. The steps to open the
TWAIN interface are explained in the sections “Accessing the
TWAIN Interface from One Touch” on page 84 or “Accessing the
TWAIN Interface from PaperPort” on page 85.
