Adjust the camera arm to the film or fiche position. This is the arm that holds the camera lens; the fiche/film setting is visible on the back left side of the arm. Hold the arm and push down or up to the correct position.
Load the microfilm:
- View the film label on the left microfilm reel for guidance. Place the roll on the left spindle (push hard till it locks in place), feed the film under the white spool, toggle the black switch to the left & push up the film holder lid, feed film across window, under right hand white spool and onto take-up reel.
- Close the film holder lid by pressing down till it clicks.
- Press the Reel Motor switch above right white spindle (horizontal line is on and circle is off) to turn on the motor for the film spools.
- Turn right reel knob clockwise until you see image of page appear under the lens.
- If necessary, turn ViewScan Lens head 90º to see image vertically on monitor. (Lens head is above the film/fiche viewing area.)
- Once the film is loaded, use the reel controls and the front handle until you can see some part of the image.
- Next step: use the VIEWER MODE controls to refine image. (next section)
