General Instructions for Using Microfilm

1. Flip the power switch on the right side of the machine and make sure the lower display reads "roll." If it reads "Fich," push in gray fiche tray to the right and back until it clicks. Display should now read "roll."

2. Check film width (16 mm or 35 mm). Most will be 35 mm. Change setting accordingly by moving the tab on the left side of the lower display.

3. Load reel by placing on the metal spool on the left side of the machine. Push reel as far back as it can go. Film should feed clockwise through top of reel.

4. Push green button. Black gate should pop up. Thread film through the green track until you can see it on the screen. Continue feeding film through track a couple more inches and then close the black gate.

5. Press "load" button by lower display (if the film doesn't load, try feeding the film further through the track and pressing the button again)

6. Viewing the film:
   a. Scan through the reel by turning the knob to the right to go "forward" or to the left to "reverse."
   b. The SCAN lever can be used to scan in the opposite direction that the forward/reverse knob allows. 
   c. The image can be rotated by turning the smaller knob near the bottom of the screen.
   d. The blue and gray "gears" located on top of the lens can be used to zoom and focus an image.

7. See "How to Print" for printing instructions.

8. When done with reel, press the "rewind" button by the lower display.  Take reel off spool, put in box, and place on the cart to be refiled.
