Page 26: Using The Batch Slide Holders
Using the Batch Slide Holders Batch slide holders are used in order to increase the productivity of the scanner. The concept of the batch slide holders is developed so that a variety of combinations are possible. The base is the batch slide holder frame in which different kinds of batch slide holders can be mounted. - Page 27 Put your original face down in the 35 mm framed batch slide holder. Put the batch slide holder into the batch slide holder frame. Put the batch slide holder frame into the transparency tray of the scanner with the Agfa logo at the top.

Put your strip with originals face down in the 35 mm strip slide holder. Match the fog area (the space between two negatives) with the arrow mark on the holder. Close the lid and slide it sideways.
- Page 29 " Note: If your originals are not properly positioned, you can still adjust the strip by sliding the closed lid in the required direction. Put the batch slide holder into the batch slide holder frame. Put the batch slide holder frame into the transparency tray of the scanner. 6 x 9 cm and 4 x 5 inch batch slide holders The 6 x 9 cm batch slide holder and the 4 x 5 inch batch slide holder function in the same way as the 35 mm batch slide holders.
