An image scanning device is provided with simplified operation. A document holder has reference marks and/or a positioning frame so a document, such as a film or film slide, can be repeatably placed in an accurate position on the document holder. The document can be pressed between two flat plates of transparent material on the document holder to keep the document flat. The image scanning device has a door that need not be manually opened or closed. The document holder is inserted into the image scanning device through the door and is accurately mounted to a movable stage. The stage contacts the document holder so the document holder is positioned on the stage in the same position every time the document holder is mounted to the stage. The stage can also be positioned such that the stage is fixed to a case containing the image scanning device. By fixing the stage to the case, damage to the stage and other support devices is avoided during shipping or transport.
