Loading the holder into the scanner
The strip film holder is inserted into the scanner by holding the back end of the strip film holder and pushing the front end into the film slot of the scanner. The strip film holder should be pushed in gently until the first stop is felt.
It is best to align the strip film holder before inserting it so the holder is in the same place as the film slot on the scanner and the holder goes straight into the scanner. This is no different than pushing a disk into a disk drive or a video tape into a video tape player. This is illustrated in Figure 4.13.

Ejecting the holder
The strip film holder is ejected the same way a slide is ejected .
The software eject command accomplishes this task. Unlike a slide, it is possible to simply remove the strip film holder by hand when the scanner is not in a working status since it always extends out the front of the scanner.
