Apple 1230, 627 user manual To insert film into the film guide

To insert film into the film guide:

1Place the film guide on a clean, flat surface.

Choose the guide that’s appropriate for the size of film or transparency you intend to scan.

2Lift the tab and insert shutter strips into slots that will not have film in them.

IMPORTANT Shutter strips prevent overexposure (halation) of the scanned images. If a strip of negatives is not long enough to fill the slot it’s in, that is not a problem, but unused slots in the 35-mm and 60-mm film guides must contain shutter strips. (The 4 x 5-inch film guide does not require a shutter strip. You can leave one of the slots empty.) It is important not to allow any gaps at the sides of the film. Light that shows through at the sides may cause the film to be overexposed.
