• Film scanning is not available when the FAU protective sheet is attached to the document cover.

• Be careful not to lose the removed FAU protective sheet. Keep it in a safe place.

• To avoid damaging the light source, be sure to attach the FAU protective sheet when not scanning film.

• A sticker label attached to the margin of the film may be recognized as an image.
