location on the film mandrels with tape or a marking pen. This step will save you a lot of time and
wasted film next time you change the film When you replace your film rolls you will be able to
slide the new film up to this mark if it is the same width roll as the last. Optional with the three
inch mandrels are film core stops After the film has been accurately located, as previously noted,
slide the film roll stops against the end of the film roll. Tighten the screws on the film roll stop.
