Using the Long Roll Accessory

Loading and Threading Film

IMPORTANT: Careful handling of film is extremely important. Before loading film, clean the film with Super Film Cleaner or an equivalent cleaner that has ionized air and particle transfer rollers (PTR).

Use canned air to clean the punch readers before threading film.

Before loading film, make sure you have at least 2 feet (.6 meters) of leader at each end of the roll.

CAUTION: In the steps below, be sure you determine and use the correct orientation of the flange. Incorrect setup will result in film tracking problems and loose takeups.

1.Determine the orientation of the flange for the reel or core you selected for loading:

•A flange in the upright position is for thin reels

•A flipped flange is for film on cores

•No flanges are needed for thick reels
