18 x 24 cm Film Holder

To scan mammography film, use the film holder included with your digitizer package, and match it with the correct type of mammography film, such as 18 x 24 cm mammography film or 24 x 30 cm mammography film.

Using the film holder ensures precise alignment of film to yield consistent scans, and aids in the correct performance of the automatic cropping feature during film scanning. When you place the film holder, please take note of the followings:

• Align the front corners of the film holder firmly against the top corners of the U-shaped ruler located at the scan bed of the digitizer. Make sure to orient the side with the “Microtek” logo facing up.

• The arrow marks on both the film holder and the digitizer are pointing to each other.

• Keep the Calibration window on the glass surface clear and unobstructed.
