About Films

19196-001 Rev. D
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.
IMPORTANT: Remove stickers, tape, staples, paper clips, etc.
from films before scanning. These may cause serious film
feeding problems and may damage the digitizer's internal
mechanisms. Failure to remove extraneous items from
films will void your warranty.
Load films just as you would view them on a light box, with these qualifications:
Films less than 8" wide will not be detected by the digitizer's film sensor, and

therefore will not be staged or digitized.
CAUTION: Paper, paper films and films smaller than 8" x 8"
can fall into the internal optics box and cause damage not
covered by your warranty.
Do not load films more than 17" (43.18cm) long in the auto feeder. (See "Digitizing

a single film," later in this chapter, when loading films longer than 17".)
