Epson 1240U Manuel D’Utilisation

Using the Transparency Unit

In EPSON TWAIN, select 

TPU - neg. Film

 or 

TPU - pos. Film

 as the Document 

Source setting, depending on the type of film (35 mm film strips or slides) you are 
scanning. When previewing images of negatives scanned using a film holder, the color 
may appear odd. To see the correct color, click and drag the mouse over the image 
area, then click the 

Zoom Preview button. For details on scanner software settings, 

see your electronic Reference Guide.

When you return to scanning normal reflective documents (non-transparent 
documents such as memos or photographs), you can turn off the transparency unit, 
then place documents between it and the document table. Remember to change the 
Document Source setting to 

Flatbed

 in EPSON TWAIN. 

Be aware that the entire document table will be scanned so you will scan not only your 
document, but also the underside of the transparency unit. To prevent scanning the 
underside of the transparency unit, you can place a white piece of paper between your 
document and the transparency unit.

When scanning thin documents, you may see an impression of the underside of the 
transparency unit in your scans. If so, remove the transparency unit and re-install the 
document cover as described in the next section. 

If you don’t plan to scan transparencies for a while, you can remove the transparency 
unit and re-install the document cover as described in the next section.
