A - 61133 March 2003 A - 3 Loading film The scanner is designed to offer optimum performance with ANSI magazines ( Ko dak Ektamate Magazines, or equivalent, and Kodak Ektamate A Magazines). In addition, the scanner accepts M - type magazines and enclosed ANSI magazines.
A - 4 A - 61133 March 2003 Enclosed ANSI magazines IMPORTANT: Enclosed ANSI magazines must be used with solid flange reels designed specifically to fit with these magazines. Standard ANSI film reels designed for open ANSI magazines may cause film transport performance problems when used in an enclosed magazine.
A - 61133 March 2003 A - 5 M- type magazines To insert the reel into the magazine : • Orient the magazine as shown in the illustration. Remove the two retainer screws and set them aside. Separate the two parts of the magazine. • Place the film into the magazine with the film feeding counterclockwise off the reel.
A - 6 A - 61133 March 2003 The amount of film on the reel should not go past the arrows indicated on the reel; ther e should be at least a ¼ - inch distance from the edge of the reel to the film.
A - 61133 March 2003 A - 7 Film leader — M - type magazine When using an M - type magazine , a 31.5 in. (800 mm) leader must be affixed to the film. The following criteria should also be met: • The leader must be square to the attached film. • The first film images should not be closer than 16 i n.
A - 8 A - 61133 March 2003 Film trailer — M - type magazine When using an M - type magazine , use a trail end holder to fix the film end to the supply reel. The following criteria should also be met. • Be sure to wind the film onto the supply reel in the correct direction.
A - 61133 March 2003 A - 9 • Make sure there is minimal skew (a slanted cut leaving an angled gap) between the leader tape and film. The skew should be no more than 0.002 in./in. (0.05 mm/mm). • The thickness of the connecting section should be no more than 0.
A - 10 A - 61133 March 2003 Film Curl Ektamate Cartridge.
