You can
scan film up to 5 × 9 inches (127 × 229 mm) with the optional Epson
fluid mount.
Cut a
sheet of clear mounting film to fit within the frame of the fluid
mount tray. The sheet must be large enough to cover the film you’re
going to scan.
Set the
Epson fluid mount guide on your work table. Then place the fluid
mount tray on top of the guide.

Grid
Note: Use the grid
to align your film while mounting it on the tray. The grid
indicates the optimal area for 6400 dpi scanning.
Place a
drop or two of mounting fluid on the glass tray where you want to
mount your film. Only a few drops are needed to mount a six-frame
35-mm strip.
Note: You need to
work quickly so the mounting fluid doesn’t evaporate.
Place
your film over the wet area. Use the grid to align your
film.
Apply a
small amount of fluid to the top of your film.
Place
the clear mounting film on top. Use a lint-free cloth, roller, or
gloved hands to press down on the film and then outward toward the
edges to remove trapped air bubbles.
Open the
scanner cover and remove the document mat, if necessary.
Lift the
fluid mount tray off the guide and place it on the scanner. Orient
it so the narrow window of the tray is toward the back of the
scanner. Do not block the window.
Close
the scanner cover.
Start
Epson Scan and select Professional Mode as the mode
setting.
Select
Film (with Film Holder) as the
Document Type.
Select
the Film Type, Image Type, and Resolution settings you want to use.
Note: You can
select up to 6400 dpi for the best image quality.
Click
the Preview button to preview your
images.
Note: Make sure
the Normal tab is selected in the
preview window.
Select
the scan area for each photo individually, being careful to select
only the image itself and not the surrounding area. Then make any
desired image adjustments before scanning.
