Page 9: About Films
About Films The film digitizer handles standard radiograph films up to 14" x 17" (35.56cm x 43.18cm). You can feed multiple films (up to 25), and you can mix film sizes ranging from 8" x 10" (20.32cm x 25.4cm) to 14" x 17" (35.56cm x 43.18cm) in one stack—as long as you follow the rules below. -
Page 10: Basic Operating Instructions
Basic Operating Instructions 1. Turn on the film digitizer and wait for all three LEDs to turn green. Note: Always turn on the film digitizer before turning on the computer. This enables the computer to recognize the digitizer. Note: Several minutes are required for the digitizer to carry out its internal diagnostics and establish communications with the scanning application. -
Page 11: Digitizing A Single Film
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);... - Page 12 Note: Proper orientation of the film during loading depends on the scanning application program you are using. Some scanning programs rotate images 180° for display. If images appear upside down, you may be able to set the default orientation in the scanning application.

Page 13: Digitizing Multiple Films
Digitizing Multiple Films CAUTION: Do not load more than 25 films at one time. 1. Hold the film stack in front of you as you would view it on a light box. Films at the back of the stack are digitized first. - Page 14 Note: Proper orientation of the film during loading depends on the scanning application program you are using. Some scanning programs rotate images 180° for display. If images appear upside down, you may be able to set the default orientation in the scanning application.
