  • Page 14: Loading Film

    To load a new roll of film: 1. Select the desired film and appropriate cassette. Thick-base (5 mil) film is inserted into a Kodak Reliant Cassette 100; thin-base (2.5 mil) film is inserted into a Kodak Reliant Cassette 215. 2. Place the cassette on a flat surface, latch side up. Press down on the cover latch and turn it counterclockwise.
  • Page 15 6. Hold the roll with its No. 2 side up and place it on the supply spindle so that the No. 2 on the spool is aligned with the No. 2 on the spindle. Rotate the spool so that the spindle hole and post holes line up with the supply spindle and its flange posts in the cassette.
  • Page 16 11. Seat the spool on the spindle. Be sure the film can move freely and is not twisted. When properly loaded, it will look like Figure 6. Figure 6 Properly Loaded Microfilm Cassette 12. Place the cover on the cassette. To secure the cover, press down on the latch and turn it clockwise.

Have a pair of scissors and an extra film box handy and proceed as follows: CAUTION: Advance film before removing and opening cassette for cutting the film to avoid fogging images.

  • Page 19: Adjusting Exposure

    Adjusting exposure CAUTION: Any time the microfilmer cover is opened with the film cassette installed, the film compartment latch must be unlocked (by rotating the latch downward) to prevent room light from exposing (fogging) the film. A rotating thumbwheel control at the inside rear of the microfilmer calibrates film exposure.

  • Page 20: Adjusting The Feeder

    Adjusting the feeder Feed rollers may need to be adjusted when there has been a significant change in document thickness. When adjusted properly, the feeder allows one document at a time to enter the microfilmer. This controls document feeding and avoids overlapping or lost images. Various conditions may require readjustment of the feeder rollers.
  • Page 21 6. If the test document does not feed into the microfilmer, the gap is too small. Turn the feeder adjustment knob two clicks to the left until the document feeds into the microfilmer and unfolds as it passes between the feed rollers. 7.
  • Page 22 Microfilming documents Before you start microfilming, be sure documents are free of paper clips, rubber bands, staples, and loose pieces of tape. Foreign objects can cause document jams and damage the feeder and conveyor system. Also determine how much film is available by checking the film supply indicator on the film cassette.
