Digitizing a single film
Options for digitizing single films
There are two ways to scan a single film:
By manually inserting the film behind the blue bar (as
described in this section), or
By treating the single film as a batch of one (if the scanning
application supports this approach); for instructions, see
“Scanning multiple films” (next section in this manual).
The digitizer cannot feed films smaller than 8" wide x 8" long
(20.3cm wide x 20.3cm long).
1. Hold the film in front of you as you
would view it on a light box.
2. Align the left edge of the film with
the film guide on the left of the
feeder.
3. Place the film into the slot
BEHIND the blue bar .
The blue bar has a lip and a groove
on the top edge of the digitizer
where the feeder is attached. Place
a single film directly behind the blue
bar.
When the digitizer senses the film,
it automatically stages the film in preparation for digitizing. The film
will first move down, then up. This is normal operation.
CAUTION: If the film is not staged properly, do not manually
pull the film out of the digitizer. Instead, use the scanning
application’s EJECT command to remove the film.
