Digitizing Multiple Films

19196-001 Rev. D
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.
Note: The digitizer cannot
feed films smaller than 7"
wide x 7" long (17.78cm wide
x 17.78cm long). When
loading small films, the
vertical dimension must be at
least 7" (17.78cm).
Do not scan paper.
2. Align the left edge of the film stack with the film guide on the left edge of the feeder.
3. Place the film stack IN the groove in 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.
Note: If you are digitizing a single film, place the film BEHIND
the blue bar.
Note: When a film has been staged, it is in the digitizer's light
path. The ADC (Automatic Digitizer Calibration) feature requires
that the light path be clear of the film for proper background
calibration of the digitizer. The digitizer will automatically adjust
the film's position to properly proceed with ADC. Depending on
the location of the film's leading or trailing edge, and the length
of time the film has been blocking the light path, the film will be:
a) pushed up, or b) pushed down.
4. Using your scanning software, execute the Scan command.
Note: During extended batch scans (more than 5 films), the
digitizer may pause periodically to recalibrate. This is normal
operation.
