Make sure the transparency adaptor lid is on scanner. If a different
lid is attached, remove it and put the transparency adaptor lid in its place. See Daniel if you have not changed lids on
the scanner before.
|
|
|
Turn scanner on. Log onto computer (if you don't have a login, see
Daniel). Go to "Start --> Shut Down" and select
Restart. This is necessary for the computer to recognize the scanner.
If the computer freezes up when you select Restart, manually reboot it
using the button on the front of the computer.
|
|
|
Place the slides on the scanner bed as follows:
- The labeled side of
the slide faces the scanner bed. (If the slide has handwriting on
one side and a typed label on the other side, place the typed label face
down.)
- Make five rows of five
slides each.
|
|
|
Once the computer has finished rebooting, log in again and
go to Corel Photopaint in the Start Menu. Select "Scan Image"
from the box that appears. If for some reason the box doesn't appear,
go to "File --> Acquire Image --> Acquire."
|
|
|
Set resolution to 2000 ppi and under "Preferences --> Scan
Material," check "Positive Film." (No changes to these
settings are necessary unless someone has been scanning paper documents.)
|
|
|
Go to "View --> Show Scan Job Window" and make sure that all 25
jobs are checked. If you don't have time to scan a full tray of slides,
you may choose to scan less than 25 slides at once; if so, make sure the
proper jobs are checked for the slides you have on the scanner bed.
|
|
|
Press "Overview" to see an image of the slides currently in the
scanner. Check to make sure the slides are matched up with the
highlighted boxes; black space within the boxes is fine, but none of the
actual pictures should be cropped out. Click the "Scan"
button to scan the slides.
|
|
|
Sometimes an error will occur during the slide
scanning. When that happens, click "OK" and close the scanner
software. In Photopaint, save the slides (if any) that were scanned
before the error appeared. Reboot the computer before attempting to
scan again.
|
|
|
When the slides are done, the scanner screen will automatically close and 25
separate files will appear in Photopaint.
|
|
|
Maximize the photo window. Save each file as follows:
- Resize the photo using
the toolbar at the top of the screen so the whole photo is visible.
- Find the matching
slide in the scanner bed.
- Save the file as a
JPEG in the D:/firelab slides directory. For the filename, use
everything written on the slide label before the name of the person
taking the photo. Add numbers to the end of the file name if there are
multiple slides with the same name.
- Click "OK"
at the JPEG save dialog box.
|
|
|
Replace slides in their proper box.
|
|
|
Turn scanner off (leaving it on will burn out the lamp). Log off
computer.
