You can scan 35mm slides and film negatives using the reversible mask 
that came with your 5820 OneTouch scanner. You can scan both 
positive film and negative images. 

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 document cover. When you 
scan a 35mm slide or negative, the light in the bottom of the scanner 
turns off, and the light in the cover shines down through the film onto 
the sensors to capture the film’s image.

To position a 35mm slide or negative for scanning:
1. Place the protective mask on the scanner glass. The markings on the 

mask clearly show which side should be facing upward to scan a 
35mm slide.

2. Align the square corner of the glass with the arrow on the scanner’s 

reference frame.
