1.2 Precautions for Using Film Carrier
1.2.1 General Precautions for Using the Film Carrier
zA magnet with a strong magnetic force is located on the rear side of the carrier.
Confirm that no metallic foreign matter is attached to the magnet before
installing the carrier.
When installing the carrier, if any metallic foreign matter attached to the magnet
is not improved, the carrier may be damaged.
xDo not stare at the light emitted from the light source for prolonged periods of
time because this may damage your eyesight.
• When scanning film, observe the following precautions:
– Do not cover the light path while scanning film. If the light
path is covered, images will be scanned abnormally.
– Do not deliver any impact to the table. If any impact is
delivered to the table, images may be scanned abnormally
due to vibration.
– Do not touch the carrier while the indicator lamp is lit.
Otherwise film may be misaligned and images may be
scanned abnormally.
– Do not pull the film. Otherwise film may be misaligned and
images scanned abnormally.
•Although the system has dust-removing and dust-eliminating
function (retouching), remove any dust or dirt adhered to film
as far as possible before scanning film.
1.2.2 Auto Film Carrier NC100AY
To use the auto film carrier correctly, observe the following precautions.
Precautions for installing film or cartridge into the auto film carrier NC100AY:
zThe following operations must be performed slowly and surely while the carrier
is not in operation:
• Removing or installing the carrier
• Switching between 135 and IX240 feed lanes
xBefore switching the feed lane, confirm that the indicator lamp does not blink
and film does not remain in the carrier to avoid damaging film. (In the case of
the one-way mode, note that the indicator lamp turns OFF in 10 seconds even if
film remains in the carrier.)
cDo not switch to the 135 feed lane while the IX240 cartridge is installed.
Otherwise the carrier or cartridge may be damaged.
NOTE: • Confirm that the carrier is fixed to the feed lane before installing film
or cartridge.
•If 135 film is not fed into the carrier, check whether or not the carrier is
set to the 135 feed lane, and the lane change lever is locked.
• Before closing the pressure cover, make sure the carrier is locked
securely. If the film feed lane is switched with the pressure cover
open, the carrier may be damaged.
•When film ejection is completed, remove the film promptly. Especially
in the case of the one-way mode, if the next film is scanned without
removing the ejected film, a film feed error may occur.
• Film feed mode (one-way or two-way mode) may be switched
automatically according to the print size and magnification. When the

film feed mode is switched automatically, the film feed direction is
indicated. Take care of the ejecting direction of film.
• When installing the IX240 cartridge, take care of the direction of the
cartridge.
• Reshaping the trailing end of the IX240 film is limited in length. Refer
to Subsection 4.30.2 of the “Operating Instructions”.
Precautions for handling the auto film carrier NC100AY:
zWhen installing the carrier, keep the carrier horizontal. If the carrier is installed
with the front side raised, the carrier may be damaged.
xWhen moving the carrier, hold the handles using both hands in a balanced
manner. Do not hold the part except by the handles.
cDo not open the carrier cover forcibly beyond the limit of the stopper because
this may cause damage to the carrier.
vClose the pressure cover after checking that there is no foreign matter in the
carrier. If there is any foreign matter in the carrier, the glass surfaces of the
sensors may be damaged.
bDo not deliver any impact to the glass surfaces of the sensors because this may
damage the glass surfaces.
nBe sure to clean the feed lanes and feed rollers of the carrier once a day. If any
dust or dirt remains, a film feed error, frame position misalignment or scratches
on film may result. (When rotating the feed roller cleaning knob swiftly, the
indicator lamp may light. But this is not a failure.)
• Be sure to clean the magnetic heads using a cotton swab
with the alcohol water during the post-operational check. If
the magnetic heads are dirty, a magnetic information reading
failure may result.
•Do not use a film cleaner or alcohol water when cleaning the
parts for the film feed lane parts or glass surfaces. This may
cause a film feed failure or image scanning failure.
• Do not use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol water for
cleaning the glass surfaces of the sensors. Otherwise the
alcohol water may penetrate into the rear side of the glass
surface and abnormal sensor output may result.
mWhen the pressure cover is opened for cleaning or inspection, do not drop any
foreign matter on the feed lanes. If any foreign matter is dropped on the feed
lanes, the glass surfaces of the sensors or feed lanes may be damaged,
causing scratches on film.
,Do not try to close the carrier cover while the IX240 winding section cover is
open. The carrier cover may be damaged due to the excessive force applied.
NOTE: • When installing the 135 insertion section upper guide into the holder,
face the projecting section downward.
• When scanning film after IX240 cartridge film feed failure occurs and
film is removed, install the carrier into the scanner and then pull the
cartridge set lever after the initialization of the carrier.
Precautions for handling film before scanning it using the auto film carrier
NC100AY:
zIn the following cases, mend the film or use the multi film carrier MFC10AY.

1. OPERATIONAL SAFETY AND USE CONDITIONS
xWhen scanning curled or strip film (long film), keep your hand on the film not to
be tangled outside the carrier. If film is tangled or caught in something, film feed
errors or damages to film may result.
• When the equipment for dust removal is installed, consult
your technical representative before purchasing it. Magnetic
information reading errors may occur depending on the
equipment.
zWhen scanning 135 reversal film using the auto film carrier NC100AY, observe
the following precautions to prevent scratches on film.
• Remove the 135 insertion section upper guide.
• Install film after removing any dust adhering to film.
• Install film after cutting into film pieces.
• When film is heavily curled, install the film after correcting the curl.
•Clean the feed lanes and rollers of the carrier each time 360 frames or 10 rolls
of film are processed, or before scanning reversal film.
NOTE: • If the leading end of a 135 reversal film is fogged, cut the film so that
the length of the fogged part is less than 60 mm, and then insert the
film from the trailing end. If the film is inserted from the leading end
(fogged side), the first frame may not be detected.
• If one side of film is fogged, insert the film so that the fogged side
faces the rear side of the carrier. Otherwise the first frame may not be
detected.
•If the middle of a film is fogged or a frame is greatly overexposed, the
NC100AY cannot be used. Use the MFC10AY (optional) when
scanning such film.
•If the leading or trailing end of a film is overexposed (eg. snow or sand
beach), film feed error may occur. If this happens, insert the film from
the opposite end, or use the MFC10AY (optional).
1.2.3 Multi-film Carrier MFC10AY (Optional)
To use the multi film carrier MFC10AY (optional) correctly, observe the following precautions.
zA magnet is used in the mask mounting section of the film-holding table and the
hinge section of each mask. Do not bring magnetic cards, watches, etc. close to
these magnets.
xWhen the carrier is transported, lock the film-holding table to the scanning
position. If a mask is set on the carrier, keep the carrier horizontal.
cWhen a long film is set, slide the film-holding table while holding the film by
hand so as not to damage the film.
vDo not place fingers inside the handle when sliding the film-holding table.
Otherwise fingers may be caught between the handle and film-holding table.
NOTE: • Slide operation of the film-holding table may become heavy. But this
is not a failure. Move the film-holding table forward until it stops to
return it to the normal operating position.
•When using the 4.5
× 6 mask, the edge of film may come into contact
with the front side of the film-holding table. Take care not to damage
the film.
•To avoid scratches on film, do not pull film which has been inserted
into the mask while the mask is closed.
