Types of Film and Correct Holders for Placement
NOTES
Observe the following precautions to protect the film.
• Do not use the same film for more than 30 min.
• Avoid using or storing film at a site with a temperature exceeding 30°C.
• If the film is precious, duplicate it before use.
• Remove the film from its protective bag before use.
Useful Tips
- Types of Film -
• Positive film: When viewed with back light, the light and dark areas of Positive film appear
just as they look on the print.
• Negative film: When viewed with back light, the light areas appear dark and the dark areas
appear light (the opposite of Positive film).
• Slide positive film: 35 mm positive film placed in a slide mount.
• Glass mount film: It has the same configuration as the slide film except that the film is covered with
glass.

3. Getting to Know the Basics
Useful Tips
• To enlarge the film image area being copied, use the Glass Mount Film Holder and adjust the focus
using the Focus Adjusting Lever. Adjusting Focus ☞p. 14
• 35 mm strip film can also be copied from the Original Glass, without using the Mount Holder. In this
case if the max. size is used, up to approx. 20 frames can be copied in a single copy run.
<For sizes other than 35 mm (medium or large format film)>
The image of the film that can be copied is approx. 1 mm inside the frame on the Positioning Sheet as
shown below.
Operating Precautions
• Do not shut off the Projector light.
If an object is placed between the Projector and Mirror Unit, the Projector is unable to project the
correct image.
• Do not jolt the Projector during operation.
If the Projector is jolted (opening and closing a door or cover will produce a shock), especially after
shading, the Projector is unable to project the correct image. If jolted, perform shading once again.
• If the Panel Reset key is pressed while you are using the Projector, it cancels all functions set for the
Projector.
• Keep the Film Standards, Filter, Lens, Holders, Mirror Unit, and Original Glass away from dust and
dirt.
Dust and dirt on any of these parts can make the copy look dirty. Cleaning ☞p. 15

7. Troubleshooting Tips
Copy Image Problems
• The film is probably not in the correct position.
Reload the film.
• Adjust focus. ☞p. 14
• Only limited sizes of film can be copied. When
placing the film, make sure all of the areas to be
copied are in position. (See “When Making
Copies” for the film image size to be copied and
copy size. ☞p. 3)
Useful Tip
Use the Glass Mount Film Holder because the
mounted film will make the copy image slightly
larger via focus adjustment.
• The Film Standard, Filter, Lens, Holder, Mirror
Unit or Original Glass may be dirty with dust.
Clean the surface. ☞p. 15
• The Mirror Unit may have been jolted. Perform
shading once again. ☞p. 11
NOTES
• Black lines can occur along the edges of the
image depending on the placement of the film
and Holder. This is the result of the frame of the
Holder or edge of the film being projected.
• Fine streaks can occur on the bright areas of
the copy image when negative film is copied. If
this is the case, the second shading will not
correct the problem.
The Projector reads the subtle conditions of the
film surface. Change the position of the film as
follows.
• Raise and lower the top cover of the holder.
• Move the film placed in position.
• Turn the film upside down (but don’t turn it
over).
The type of film (positive or negative) may not
match with the type of Filter installed (Posi or
Nega).
☞Install the correct Filter according to the type
of film and start the steps over beginning
with shading. ☞p. 11
Faulty Shading
If the Projector fails to perform shading correctly,
the message “Check for correct Filter, Film
Standard (Negative only), and retry SHADING.”
appears on the Touch Panel. Try the following
before touching .
• When making copies from 35 mm positive film,
the shading has been performed with the film
loaded.
☞Remove the Film Holder and perform
shading with nothing loaded in the Projector.
• Shading has been attempted with the Fresnel
Lens in the raised position when large-size film
(other sizes) is being used.
☞Lower the Fresnel Lens and then perform
shading again.
• The light from the Projector is being cut off.
☞Ensure that nothing blocks the light between
the Projector and Mirror Unit or cuts off the
light from the Projector.
• The Mirror Unit is not in position.
☞Reinstall the Mirror Unit correctly.
If all of these procedures do not correct the
problem, see “Faulty Symptoms” that follows on
page 13.

7. Troubleshooting Tips
Faulty Symptoms
• The copier cannot be set into the Projector mode.
• The Projector lamp does not light up.
• The Projector lamp remains lit and will not go
out.
• A blank sheet of paper is fed out of the copier
when negative film is used.
• A solid black copy is produced when positive
film is used.
These symptoms are a result of the following;
• The optical fiber cable is loose.
☞Turn OFF the copier as well as the Projector.
Reconnect the optical fiber cable and then
turn the copier and Projector ON.
• The Projector Power Switch is OFF or the Power
Cord is unplugged.
☞Turn the copier OFF. Plug in the Power Cord
of the Projector and turn the copier and
projector ON.
• The lamp is out.
☞Call your Tech. Rep. and have him/her
replace the lamp.
• The copier or Projector is not operating.
☞Call your Tech. Rep.
Making the Film Standard
• Cut off an unexposed frame of the negative film
and place it in the Spare Mount to make a new
Film Standard.
