Safety and Regulatory Following is some additional safety and regulatory
Information information.
Warning: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not
expose unit to rain or moisture. To prevent
possibility of injury or damage to the unit, do
not operate with any covers or panels
removed.
• Read and Follow Instructions — Read and follow all the
safety and operating instructions before operating the unit.
• Heed Warnings — Heed all warnings on the equipment and
in the operating instructions.
• Power Sources — The unit should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the dataplate label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply that will be used,
consult a dealer or local power company.
• Power Cord Damage — Avoid damage to the power cord. If
damage should occur, replace it with the specific cord for this
unit.
• Power Cord Protection — Power supply cords should be
routed so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them; pay particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they leave the units.
NOTE: The power cord must have appropriate Safety Agency
approval for the country where the unit is installed.
• Grounding — The unit is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-
type plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. The 3-wire
grounding-type plug will fit into a grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into
the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

Introduction
The Kodak Desktop 3 Microfilmer is intended for medium-to low-volume
operations that require rapid, high-reduction microfilming. Documents up
to 9.00 inches (22.9 cm) wide and 11.7 inches (29.7 cm) long can be
microfilmed, with images captured on 16 mm film at a 40:1 reduction
ratio.
Thick-base (5 mil) film cassettes accept 100 ft. (30.5 m) lengths of
microfilm. Thin-base (2.5 mil) film cassettes accept 215 ft. (65.5 m)
lengths. A choice of duplex or duo modes provide flexibility in
microfilming.
Documents to be microfilmed are placed in the automatic feeder in the
front of the unit, photographed as they pass between two clear document
guides, and exit into an adjustable receiving area at the upper front of the
microfilmer.
No special skills or knowledge are required to operate the Desktop 3
Microfilmer.

Slow Film Advance: Advances film at approximately 7 inches (17.8 cm)
per second when this switch is pressed. Film is automatically advanced
1.5 to 2.0 inches (3.8 cm to 5.1 cm) when the microfilmer is turned on or
when a different film cassette is installed.
Fast Film Advance Switch: Advances film approximately 48 inches
(121.9 cm) when pressed. Used when the operator loads and unloads
film.
Image Marker Switches: By pressing one of these optional switches,
you can determine the size of the image mark placed adjacent to each
film image. III = large; II - medium; I = small; 0 = none.

contribute to high-quality microfilm images.
• An alarm sounds and a light is illuminated when the filming switch is on
and the film supply is low or empty.
• A blinking light above the filming switch indicates that filming is shut off.
• An alarm sounds, a light is illuminated, and the microfilmer transport
shuts off automatically if either of the exposure lamps fail.
• The microfilmer transport shuts off automatically if a document
becomes lodged in the document conveyor system.
• The microfilmer will not operate when the cabinet cover is open.
• Operator-replaceable fuses, mounted in the rear of the microfilmer,
shut off the microfilmer in the event of an electrical overload.
• An alarm sounds and the top two lights on the control panel flash if the
document spacing becomes too close, and the feeder needs
adjustment.
