When open, as shown in Figure 4.11 , film can be placed into the strip film holder. Position the desired frame so that it aligns with the window in the film holder. Only one frame of the strip film can be scanned at a time. To scan more than one frame, the film must be repositioned in the strip film holder.

Positioning the film in the holder
There is one window on the strip film holder as shown in Figure 4.11. The film that resides in this window will be visible to the scanner for scanning . Therefore, it is necessary to align the desired frame of film with this window when positioning the film in the holder.
Film strips are typically limited to six frames because of the depth restrictions of the scanner. No film can extend out the front of the strip film holder. Due to the length of the strip film holder, no more than two frames can reside in front of the desired frame .
It is therefore necessary to position the film in the scanner so no more than two frames are to the front of the window in the strip film holder.
As with slides, the emulsion side of the strip film should be face down in the strip film holder so that it will also be face down when inserted in the scanner.
