adapter ( 105).
Problem
There is tape on the ends of the film.
Film is cut on an angle or torn.
The final perforation has been cut or torn.
Before scanning, remove dirt and dust from the film and perforations with a blower and wipe off
fingerprints with a dry, soft cloth, being careful not to scratch the film.
Solution

scissors. After removing tape, wipe off all traces of
adhesive with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to
damage the film.
Trim the end of film straight across, being careful
not to cut across the perforations.
Trim the film straight across, being careful not to
cut across the remaining perforations. If the film
can not be trimmed without cutting across the im-
