Inserting Film

Do not place film or masking sheets so that they protrude from the holder or overlap the film guides. Failure to observe this precaution could cause the holder to jam in the scanner.

“Film Base”/”Emulsion Surface”

When film is examined under bright light, the image on the emulsion surface will be in slight relief, with bumps and hollows where the image has been developed. The opposite surface (the film base) will be reflective and smooth. Insert film with the base up.
