Product overview The following illustration and descriptions will help you become familiar with the components of the scanner. The Manual Release Lever allows you to manually release the magazine by inserting a thin object, such as a pencil, into the slot. This lever should be used if a film jam or film breakage occurs.
Using the Scanner This chapter provides: Instructions for turning the power on and off. How to insert a film magazine. Instructions for loading and unloading film. Before you begin make sure the PC and the scanner are connected and power is applied to both devices. Turning on/off the The scanner can be powered on and off by using the toggle switch located in the back of the scanner (next to the scanner power cord).
Unloading a To unload a film magazine from the scanner: magazine 1. Select Refile on the Image Retrieval keypad of the Kodak i7300 Scanner Application Software or Navigate>Refile Film from the menu. The film will be rewound. A-61404 February 2003...

Insert the heavier film (or film leader) into the film slot and manually feed the film through the film track. You will see it pass through the scan tower area. 7. Pull the loose end of the film being recovered off of the take-up reel and cut off the damaged, curled or bent end of the film, as needed.
Reels — the solid flange microfilm reel used in the scanner must be housed in one of the following: Kodak Ektamate Magazine Kodak Ektamate A Magazine ANSI Standard Magazine (open and enclosed designs) M-type Magazine A-61404 February 2003...
This reel should be installed in the magazine so the film feeds from the top, and the magazine’s threading symbol is on the same side as the reel’s square hole. NOTE: The scanner does not support the use of black camera spools or open flange reels.
Loading film The scanner is designed to offer optimum performance with ANSI magazines (Kodak Ektamate Magazines, or equivalent, and Kodak Ektamate A Magazines). In addition, the scanner accepts M-type magazines and enclosed ANSI magazines. Enclosed ANSI magazines may experience reduced threading performance when compared with “open”...
IMPORTANT: Enclosed ANSI magazines must be used with solid Enclosed ANSI flange reels designed specifically to fit with these magazines magazines. Standard ANSI film reels designed for open ANSI magazines may cause film transport performance problems when used in an enclosed magazine. To insert the reel into the magazine: Locate the release catch on the magazine (see the illustration) and release it by pressing with a small pointed object (such as a ball...
CAUTION: Core fillers should not be used and existing fillers should be removed from reels. Damage could occur to your film and/or the scanner if core fillers are used. Reels used with the scanner should be Kodak Solid Flange Reels (or M-Film and reel checks equivalent).
Make sure that the reel is not overfilled, as follows: If you are using a Kodak Solid Flange Reel, make sure that the film (when fully rewound) is not above the arrows on the reel’s side.
When using an ANSI magazine, use a trailer end holder to fix the film Film trailer — ANSI end to the supply reel. The following criteria should also be met. magazines Be sure to wind the film onto the supply reel in the correct direction. The film trailer must contain no images and must be at least 18 in.
Use the following guidelines when splicing film: Film splicing For M-type magazines, the section connecting the leader tape and film should be at least 0.826 in. (21 mm) long. Leader Tape Film 0.826 in (21 mm) or longer The gap between the leader tape and film should be no more than 0.009 in.
For most film types and operating conditions, a certain amount of film Film curl curl can exist without adversely affecting the performance of the scanner (see the next section entitled, “Microfilm curl check”). Under certain conditions, however, curled film ends may result in degraded threading performance.

Besides curl, the film should also be checked for twist. To make sure Film twist that the film’s twist is within allowable limits: Film twist 90° maximum (either direction) Allow about 12 in. (305 mm) of film to hang down from the reel. If the film twists more than 90°...
The condition of the film magazine is another factor affecting optimum Film magazine condition performance of the scanner. Film magazine conditions should meet the following criteria: The film magazine must not be distorted in shape (either closed downward or stretched outward). The film magazine's internal walls should be free of nicks, burrs, or other surface defects that lead to reduced threading and other problems.
Microfilm should always be handled and stored with care. Storage of Microfilm storage your film should be based on the following: How long you want to keep the images on the microfilm: short, medium, long term, or permanently. How difficult the images are to replace. The cost of preserving the microfilm.
