Scan emulsion side down, and just flip it in Photoshop or whatever image editing program you use. Pretty much all of them should have something like "Flip Horizontal" which is what you would want to use.

FWIW, I wouldn't worry about emulsion up/down until you're using an actual negative scanner. I doubt you will be able to tell any difference when scanning with natural light since the image will be sub-par either way.
