0 Useful tips
■ If possible the film should be as long as
the circumference of the scanning drum
in order to keep the balance error when
scanning to a minimum (1).
■ Arrange the transparencies such that the
bottom quarter of the film remains free,
since the film can go out of shape through
the strong tension exerted on it (2).
