Film Path Tension Screws

The four roller bearings on the skid plate keep the film moving in a defined path and help to
minimize gate weave. If some of the bearings are not making contact with the film during a scan,
their tension can be adjusted. To do this, lightly tighten the M4 tension screws on the front of
the skid plate or 8mm gate using a 2mm hex driver.
It's worth mentioning that if too much tension is applied, it can slightly shift the position of the
image, which may affect your scan. If this happens, simply reverse your tension adjustments
until your scan returns to normal.
The film path tension screws are located at the front of the
8mm gate and the 16mm and 35mm skid plates
Incorrect setup shows the aperture
