OPERATORS MANUAL
Roll Film: Use a sheet of film as a Leader. Make sure that the sheet film is as wide as, or wider than,
the roll film and at least 18 cm (7 in.) long.
Using 2.5 cm (1 in.) wide tape, such as 3M SCOTCH Brand Polyester Film Tape No. 850, fasten the
roll film, emulsion side up, to the Leader, making sure that the adhesive side of the tape is not exposed.
Most other types of tape are not acceptable, because their bases are soluble in the processing
solutions.
Note
Tape the leading edge of the roll film, emulsion side up, within 5.1 cm (2 in.) of the vertical
(lengthwise) center of the Leader. See the figure.
Important
For reliable transport of the roll film, apply slight tension on both the feed and take-up ends of the roll
film, such as with a Kodak Roll Film Take-Up, Model 11 (CAT No. 118 6899).
