Lacing film

Always scan the film with Emulsion up (towards camera lens). Focus will be compromised if film is laced emulsion down.

Ensure gate is in “Lace position” as shown in Fig 36. The Latch will push in to keep the gate in lace mode.

1.Lace Film left to right missing the feed and take up sprockets and run the film straight from the Feed Compliance arm to the Take Up compliance arm via the PTR (Particle Transfer Roller) rollers to the take up film core. Lace as A or B wind depending on the wind direction of the supplied film rolls.(See Fig 34).

A or B status is set on the GUI (see page 7). Wind sufficient film onto the take-up film core to ensure a tight wrap.
