FILM BASICS FILM CASSETTE STATUS DISPLAY Each film cassette contains a window which displays graphic symbols representing film/cassette status conditions: Cassette ID Number - a number assigned by the operator. Film Indicator - indicates whether or not a spool of film is properly loaded into the cassette. Film Supply Gauge - using a series of ten (10) bars, the gauge indicates the amount of film remaining in the cassette. When all bars are shown, the cassette is full.
LOADING FILM INTO A CASSETTE IMPORTANT: Always load and unload film in subdued, indirect light to help prevent "fogging". The following steps are required to load film into the cassette(s): FB-2 1. Select the correct film for your application(s) and appropriate cassette(s). 2. Check the cassette display before loading a new roll of film: • Verify that the film supply indicator shows that the cassette is empty. • Verify that there is not a low battery symbol.
6. Open a new box of microfilm and remove the spool of film. NOTE: Save the empty box to store the exposed film prior to processing and for storing the film following processing. 7. Peel off the paper band from around the spool. 8. Unwind approximately 18 inches (46 cm) of film. 9. Lift the light guard and place the spool of film on the supply spindle, with the number 1 side up. 10. Slowly rotate the spool until the two round holes on the spool engage the lugs on the spindle. 11.
12. Thread the film around the guide roller, drive roller, and idler roller, following the path indicated by the threading arrows inside the film cassette. 13. Fold back approximately 1/2 inch (1 cm) at the end of the film. 14. Pick up the take-up spool and hold it with the number 1 side up. 15. Insert the folded end of the film into the slot in the take-up spool core. 16. Rotate the spool counterclockwise to secure the film on the spool.
17. Place the take-up spool over the take-up spindle lugs. 18. Slide the release lever toward the battery compartment and hold it in this position. 19. Slowly rotate the take-up spool couterclockwise three complete turns to secure the film onto the spool. Allow the release lever to return to its normal position. 20. Replace the top cover on the cassette. Press down on the cover latch and turn it clockwise to lock the top cover in place.
LOADING CASSETTE(S) INTO THE MACHINE A film cassette can be loaded into either the upper or lower film slot. 1. Open the cassette access door. 2. Swing the drive release lever (green handle) out. 3. Insert film cassette(s). NOTE: Refer to the label on the inside of the cassette access door for cassette orientation. The display on the film cassette is oriented differently depending upon the film slot being used. 4. Swing the drive release lever back into place. 5. Close the cassette access door.
UNLOADING A PARTIALLY EXPOSED ROLL OF FILM IMPORTANT: Do not unload a partially exposed roll of film when using duo mode. Images will be lost if a partial roll is unloaded. It is assumed that all documents have been deposited in the exit hopper and the Stop key has been pressed. 1. Enter function code F28 Film Leader. This will result in six (6) feet of film being advanced onto the take-up spool, protecting the filmed images. 2. Open the cassette access door. 3.
11. Lift the take-up spool out of the cassette. 12. Place the spool into the film box. Allow approximately 2 to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) of the film to protrude from under the lid of the box. Close the top of the box securely. 13. Write identification data (i.e., subject,. title, date, job number, etc.) on the film box label. The film is now ready for processing. To continue filming using the unexposed portion of the roll of film: 14. Obtain an empty take-up spool. 15.
UNLOADING A FULLY EXPOSED ROLL OF FILM Use the following steps to unload a fully exposed roll of film (simplex, duplex, or duo format): It is assumed that all documents have been deposited in the exit hopper and the Stop key has been pressed. 1. Enter function code F29 Advance Film to End of Roll. This will result in the entire length of the film being advanced onto the take-up spool. 2. Open the cassette access door. 3. Swing the drive release lever (green handle) out. 4. Remove film cassette(s).
