7. Troubleshooting Tips
Copy Image Problems
• The film is probably not in the correct position.
Reload the film.
• Adjust focus. ☞ p. 14
• Only limited sizes of film can be copied. When
placing the film, make sure all of the areas to be
copied are in position. (See “When Making
Copies” for the film image size to be copied and
copy size. ☞ p. 3)
Useful Tip
Use the Glass Mount Film Holder because the
mounted film will make the copy image slightly
larger via focus adjustment.
• The Film Standard, Filter, Lens, Holder, Mirror
Unit or Original Glass may be dirty with dust.
Clean the surface. ☞ p. 15
• The Mirror Unit may have been jolted. Perform
shading once again. ☞ p. 11
NOTES
• Black lines can occur along the edges of the
image depending on the placement of the film
and Holder. This is the resultof the frame of the
Holder or edge of the film being projected.
• Fine streaks can occur on the bright areas of
the copy image when negative film is copied. If
this is the case, the second shading will not
correct the problem.
The Projector reads the subtle conditions of the
film surface. Change the position of the film as
follows.
• Raise and lower the top cover of the holder.
• Move the film placed in position.
• Turn the film upside down (but don’t turn it
over).
The type of film (positive or negative) may not
match with the type of Filter installed (Posi or
Nega).
☞Install the correct Filter according to the type
of film and start the steps over beginning
with shading. ☞ p. 11
Faulty Shading
If the Projector fails to perform shading correctly,
the message “Check for correct Filter, Film
Standard (Negative only), and retry SHADING.”
appears on the Touch Panel. Try the following
before touching .
• When making copies from 35 mm positive film,
the shading has been performed with the film
loaded.
☞ Remove the Film Holder and perform
shading with nothing loaded in the Projector.
• Shading has been attempted with the Fresnel
Lens in the raised position when large-size film
(other sizes) is being used.
☞ Lower the Fresnel Lens and then perform
shading again.
• The light from the Projector is being cut off.
☞ Ensure that nothing blocks the light between
the Projector and Mirror Unit or cuts off the
light from the Projector.
• The Mirror Unit is not in position.
☞ Reinstall the Mirror Unit correctly.
If all of these procedures do not correct the
problem, see “Faulty Symptoms” that follows on
page 13.
