Positioning transparencies for scanning

Note:
Be sure to wipe the Transparency Unit glass, the scanner's
document table, and the narrow window near the mounting bracket
with a soft cloth before scanning transparencies.
Operation of the Transparency Unit is controlled automatically by
your scanner software, so make sure to select TPU for Neg. film or
TPU for Pos. film as the Document Source setting in EPSON
TWAIN Pro depending the type of the material you are scanning.
Note that if the TPU for Neg. film or the TPU for the Pos. film is
selected as the Document Source setting, the focus position is
automatically set to 2.5 to accommodate the use of the film holders.
