13. Place the film on top of the self-threader, overlapping it by 51 mm
(2 in.), and fasten the end of the film to the black side of the dual-
strand self-threader with a minimum of 76 mm (3 in.) of Kodak
Prostar Tape, or equivalent.
14. Loop the leading edge of the self-threader to the left and beneath
the reels.
NOTE: Make sure the tape does not extend over the edges of the
film or self-threader.
15. Feed the self-threader down into the feed chute in the first
developer rack until the rack starts to draw the self-threader into the
Archive Processor.
16. After the rollers draw all of the self-threader into the rack, close the
processing section cover.
After approximately 35 seconds, the self-threader exits below the
tension roller on the take-up (right) side of the Archive Processor.
IMPORTANT: As the self-threader exits the dryer, make sure that it
does not catch on anything that will cause the film to back
up and jam in the processor.
