Operating the SIERRA™ plus film digitizer 1-64
VIDAR Film Digitizer Installation Guide
Note:
When the film is staged, it is over the digitizer’s light path.
SIERRA’s ADC (Automatic Digitizer Calibration) feature requires
that the light path be clear for proper background calibration.
Thus, if a film remains in the digitizer for more than 5 minutes, it
will be pushed up 1/4" (0.6cm) to clear the light path. Later,
when you execute your software’s
Scan
command, the film will
be re-staged before it is digitized.
7. If your scanning software requires that you enter the number of films
after loading, enter the number of films you are about to scan in one
stack.
8. Using your scanning software, execute the Scan command.
The LED will flash green rapidly, indicating the first scan is in
progress.
When the first scan is complete, the second film will be scanned and
so forth, until the last film has been scanned.
When the entire batch has been scanned, the LED will return to solid
green.
Note:
After the scan, the last film may or may not be ejected—
your scanning software determines what happens. If the
software’s
Auto Eject
function is activated, the film will drop
into the exit tray. Otherwise, the lower rollers in the scanner will
hold the film until one of the following occurs:

Another film is detected.

You manually eject the film from the software.

5 minutes have passed (after which the film will be ejected
automatically.
