Chapter 4 Basic Operation
The Film Strip Holder
Negative processed film is typically cut into strips of five or six frames per strip.
To eliminate the need for you to cut and mount strip film for scanning, we have sup­
plied you with a film strip holder. The Coolscan film strip holder can accommodate
film strips up to six frames long, then be inserted into Coolscan for scanning. The film
strip holder is shown in Figure 4.11.
The front of the film strip holder is the tapered end. It is designed to fit easily
into the scanner film slot, similar to inserting a slide.
The back of the film strip holder is wider than the front. It extends out of the
front of the scanner during scanning operations. Additionally, excess film always
extends out the back of the film strip holder.
Figure 4.11 The closed film strip holder.
When closed, as shown in Figure 4.11, the film strip holder fits into the scanner
just as a slide would. Of course, the back end of the film strip holder extends out of the
scanner during the scanning operation.
A typical example is shown in Figure 4.12. Note that the portion of the film strip
not being scanned extends out the back of the film strip holder.
