BENEFITS OF MICROGRAPHICS
Here is a quick review of the benefits of this very viable business tool:
SAVES SPACEDocuments on microfilm take as little as 2% of the space the original documents on paper require. FAST LOOKUPIt takes only seconds to retrieve documents on microfilm (with blip indexing). These film files can be conveniently stored within arms reach of a seated operator, instead of relying on offsite storage. EFFICIENT AUDITSThe portability of microfilm means you can transport the filmed documents to a convenient location for review, rather than do the audit on site. ITS SECUREDuplicate microfilm files kept offpremises protect against destruction and loss of vital information. Microfilm is becoming a tool of choice in back up archives for many imaging applications. LOWER LOOKUP COSTSMicrofilm eliminates the very high costs of sorting and refiling paper. IMPROVES CUSTOMER SERVICECustomer questions can be answered from a properly indexed microfilm file much quicker than a paper file, without leaving your work area to search for a document. LOW COST DISTRIBUTIONMicrofilm is very inexpensive to duplicate and mail. With around 280 pages on each microfiche and several thousand pages on each roll of film, postage savings alone are significant. SAVINGS ON FILING EQUIPMENTFar fewer filing cabinets are needed to house microfilmed documents microfilm uses approximately 98% less spaceup to several million documents in one cabinet! EASY TO PRINTWith the advent of plain paper reader-printers, the images on microfilm are copied very easily and cheaply at the push of a button.

READER/PRINTERS - 16MM
Image Masking
An optional feature of the 3M 7540 Reader-Printer is image masking. This feature is especially important when you want to print and distribute a document that contains sensitive information. By moving cursors horizontally and vertically on the viewing screen, you can select the precise image area to be printed. Not only is this feature valuable in protecting confidential information, it is also advantageous if you want to print, for example, just one column from a newspaper page. You end up with a neat, clean copy without any extraneous images. Even with documents that are less than full size, you can eliminate the black border by masking it out. And when a number of documents the same size are being printed, image masking parameters can be set to remain in the same position until you need to reset them for a different size document.

The 3M 7540 Reader-Printer is one machine for many needs.

Because it can be configured to match any microform specification, this reader-printer answers a need for handling multiple formats in any micrographics environment. Because its easy to use, it answers a need for minimum training and maximum productivity in a reader-printer. And because its from 3M, it answers a need for a product from a company that is committed to providing solutions for todays document management systems.

Computer printouts as well as legal-sized documents can be reduced to letter size. Hard-to-read documents can be enlarged for better clarity. All with no operator time lost changing lenses, thanks to the optional zoom lens system. The zoom lens provides true oneto-one blowback and is available in a variety of reduction ratios. Retrieval productivity is greatly increased, with just one easy-to-operate zoom control. In the event that you do not opt for the Zoom Lens System: the 3M 7540 Reader-Printer has a wide selection of interchangeable fixed lenses.

Have you considered Microfiche?

A fast, economical, efficient alternative to paper publishing
Micropublishing is the publishing and distribution of information on microfilm. Data is photographically recorded on the microfilm and then duplicated in quantity for low-cost dissemination to users. Although any form of microfilm can be used, such as roll film, jackets, or aperture cards, the most common micropublishing format is microfiche. Up to 470 pages of information can be compacted onto a single 4 x 6 inch black-and-white fiche, or up to 60 pages on color fiche. Use them successfully for maintenance manuals, price change notices, catalogs, and other periodicals. Indexing makes retrieval fast and easy.

Reduces printing costs printing with light on

microfiche can cut printing production costs by as much as 90%.

A versatile plain paper reader/printer, accepts most microfilm formats aperture cards, microfiche and jackets. Add a roll film attachment, now you can read and print from both 16mm and 35mm roll film. V Block carrier design makes changing carriers and attachments simple and easy. Front mounted operator controls permit complete copy control with self diagnostics and machine status.

Speeds turnaround time microfiche is easier, faster to produce and mail, and can be created and distributed in days not weeks or months, as with paper. Its inexpensive cost makes frequent updates more feasible.

3M 6500 Planetary Camera
(Minolta DR1600 Planetary Camera)
Putting documents on microfilm has just gotten easier. The 3M 6500 Planetary Camera automates nearly every microfilming function from focusing to frame size. Just place a document on the copyboard and press a button. The microprocessor-controlled camera takes care of the rest automatically. Even if your business produces just a few documents, the 3M 6500 is economical enough to start replacing your paper files immediately. Yet it is so fast and so simple to operate, it can easily handle even a large volume of documents.

The 6500 was designed for easy, desktop operation. The control panel is readily-accessible, clearly-positioned and so self-explanatory that even first-time operators can become automatically productive.

Automatically senses document size and selects reduction ratio

The 3M 6500 Camera automatically senses the size of documents you place on the copyboard up to 11" x 17". Then, automatically selects the proper reduction ratio required to film them.

3M 6500 Planetary Camera (Minolta DR16 Camera)

Automatically selects proper focus

The 3M 6500 is one of the only planetary cameras available to feature automatic focus. For crisp, clear document images.

senses document width for automatic frame size control. For example, up to legal size documents (81/2" x 14") are filmed on one frame width of film; wider documents are automatically filmed on double frames. And the 6500 films your documents upright, so they can all be viewed and printed upright on a reader-printer.

Interchangeable camera heads

The memory of the 6500 can store last filmed frame locations for up to four separate camera heads. And since the camera heads are easily removable which also makes loading and unloading film simpler the 6500 becomes especially valuable for interdepartmental use. Up to four separate departments can use the camera without mixing document types.

Automatic exposure control

The 6500 Camera will automatically select the proper film exposure. For special requirements, however, you can override the automatic mode and expose the film manually.

Automatically selects proper frame size

3M 6500 Planetary Camera
(Minolta DR16 Planetary Camera) Three-level frame numbering
The three-level blip system, which marks your microfilmed documents into block, batch and item, lets you organize your microfilm files the same way you organize your paper files. So you dont have to learn a complicated new system. And you can add these blip marks either from the fingertip-close control panel, or from an optional foot pedal controller (which you can also use to expose the microfilm). Using foot pedal controllers frees your hands for even more efficient document handling. In addition, the 6500 Camera lets you add up to three, four-digit numbers to each frame. So you can include other important information such as time and date.

Programmable leader and trailer

After you load your film, the 6500 Camera will automatically advance it to a pre-selected location on the roll. When you finish, it lets you choose how much of a trailer to leave at the end. And to maximize the number of documents per roll, you can also choose how much space to put between frames.

Bell & Howell FileMaster III Camera
The FileMaster III planetary camera is a combination of high resolution and ease of operation. This makes it a very good choice as an entry level filmer. It features a very accurate automatic exposure control which insures you good, even density exposures time after time. The Electric Eye automatic reduction ratio automatically measures documents and selects the proper reduction ratio as well as proper focus. Film guides which allow the operator to position the paper accurately on the copyboard are included. The camera head is easily removable, allowing you to purchase additional heads so that multiple departments may use the same camera base. The unit will record three levels of blip (image marks) under the document to facilitate retrieval by an intelligent reader-printer. In addition, you may manually input three 4 digit numbers, or a single 12 digit number to help identify each frame by time, date or other pertinent information. This number will also appear on the film. This number is invaluable as a visual retrieval tool. The final feature is a variable pulldown, which can eliminate excess space between frames increasing the number of images per roll.
The automatic reduction selector provides error free filming of documents up to 11" x 17" . Automatic and manual exposure, programmable three-level indexing, and automatic reduction and focus make the FileMaster III versatile and easy to use.

Minolta DAR2800 (ALOS ADF42)
The Minolta 2800 is a fully automated planetary microfilmer. It will microfilm single and double sided documents and yield exceptional resolution. High volume applications requiring automation might give this unit a thorough examination. With the DAR2800 the automatic document feeder teams up with a double sided document function to permit fast, efficient filming of both single and double-sided documents. This will add up to increased productivity as well as quality images, roll after roll. ADF Automatic Document Feeding feature. The DAR2800 provides two automatic document feeding modes. In the ADF mode, up to 500 single sheet documents are automatically fed into the unit and filmed at 45 sheets per minute. SADF In the semiautomatic feeding mode, the document is automatically fed into the unit and the operator activates the filming process manually, permitting special settings and adjustments for individual documents or special indexing/imprinting requirements. DF Document Feeding Mode permits automatic feeding of individually handled documents. The Minolta DAR2800 has a double sided mode, and the ADF will film the first side, turns the document over, films the second side, ejects it, and brings up the next document, all automatically. In the SADF mode, the operator can choose to film either or both sides of the document. If both single and double sided documents are mixed, the operator can simply insert special target cards before each type of document. The DAR2800 can read each target and automatically switch modes of filming. Automatic Reduction and Focus The DAR2800 can automatically determine the size of the document and the camera selects the proper reduction size to film that particular document. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments. The camera head can be easily replaced in seconds, allowing different departments to use the same base unit. Finally, the LED self diagnosis system will let you know when film is about to run out or when the camera head is not locked properly into the main body. The LED system also alerts you to the locations of paper jams, as well as alerting you whether or not the jammed document has been filmed or not. Full Upright Images In addition to automatically sensing the height of the document to determine the correct reduction ratio, the DAR2800 senses the document width to determine the correct aperture size. Documents up to legal size (81/2" x 14") are filmed in single frames, while larger documents are filmed in double wide width frames. But, no matter what frame width is used, the filmed images are upright for easy viewing. Printing Capabilities An optional imprinter and the DAR2800 will print the frame number on the original document after it is filmed to ensure accurate correlation of filmed images and data entered from the documents. Auto Exposure Control Advanced electronics provides completely automatic exposure adjustment for sharp, clear images every time. Manual adjustment of the exposure time is also possible for special filming needs. Frame Indexing (Numbers and Blip Marks) For faster, easier identification and indexing, frame numbers and blip marks can be selected and

recorded on film. Three levels of blip marks Item, Batch and Block are available. All are encoded inside the camera head to ensure consistent readability, as well as, more accurate document exposures. In addition, an operator can manually input up to three 4-digit numbers or a single 12-digit number to more precisely identify each frame with time, date or other vital information. These numbers appear along the top of the frame.

The 3M 261/262 Duplifiche Printer/Developer is designed for lowto medium-volume microcopying, or as a satellite in a large system. It is compatible with all film duplicating systems, with an added dimension THERMAL, AMMONIA-FREE DEVELOPMENT.

The 261 Duplifiche Printer is a compact exposing device for standard 4" x 6" (105mm x 148mm) microfiche and jackets and tab size 3 3/ 8" x 7 3/ 8" (85.7mm x 187.3mm) microfiche and jackets. The Duplifiche Printer provides high-quality exposures onto either dry diazo (sign-maintaining) or vesicular (sign- reversing) microcopy films from silver halide, dry silver, and diazo masters or jackets.

The 261 Duplifiche Printer has a variable exposure control. The controls are ON/OFF switch, Exposure Time and Print. This unit uses the totally dry exposure and processing concept that 3M pioneered. The dry diazo film is impregnated with diazoum salts, so no ammonia is required in the developer. The only supply item is the dry diazo film. Call Us For Details!

The 262 Duplifiche Developer provides high contrast duplication of both dry diazo and vesicular films. Film development is controlled by two speed options and a pre-set film temperature.

The operator takes the exposed film from the 261 Duplifiche Printer, inserts it into the 262 Duplifiche Developer, and selects either a vesicular or diazo mode. The film exits onto a receiving tray. No operator adjustments are necessary.

DUPLICATORS/ROLL FILM 16MM/35MM

Extek 5400/5401 The Intelligent Diazo Duplicators
Exteks diazo roll film duplicator is loaded with productivity-expanding, operator-safe, quality-assurance features never before available on a diazo duplicator. It has none of the disadvantages of competitive machines. Compare these features/benefits with any duplicator on the market:

Unattended Operation. Microprocessor control makes our new Model 5400 the only intelligent diazo roll film duplicator today. An operator can load the duplicator, press START, and walk away. The duplicator stops automatically and sounds a chime after the completed duplicate is on the take-up spindle. Minimum Ammonia Consumption. The intelligent duplicator adds developer to the chamber only as needed. This reduces supply costs and permits placement of smaller, disposable supply bottles within the duplicator cabinet. With ammonia consumption under microprocessor control, and other unique ammonia handling features, the unit is completely safe for open-office operation. Extended Lamp Life. Special bulb design, more efficient cooling, reduced lamp power in automatic standby, and protected automatic re-startall contribute to longer expected lamp life. Operator Safety. Total operator protection is another unique human-engineered feature of Model 5400. In several ways the operator is protected from hot surfaces and ultraviolet light exposure two important features not available on competitive diazo duplicators.

Model 5400 The Intelligent Duplicator!

Hinged cover protects duplicate supply roll from ambient light. Marks on duplicate supply disc let you know how much film remains. An easy-access alcove (not shown) within the duplicator provides space for developer and absorber supply bottles. Both can be readily seen to check supplies. No ugly tubes protrude to inconvenient external supply areas. Developer (aqueous ammonia) is packaged in valved bottles with sealed ports. No ammonia fumes can escape during bottle changeover.

Wejex Sensitometers
Quality assurance for film processing.
Companion instruments to Tobias TBX manual densitometer or automatic WEJ-SCAN. Provide early detection of adverse changes in the development process. Save time and material costs. Ensure consistent quality by comparison with known standards. Operate with the touch of a button.

Use Tobias sensitometers for reliable test exposures.

It is generally acknowledged that film image quality is affected by even minor variations in chemistry, temperature, and development time in the processor. To ensure optimum image characteristics, it is necessary to routinely process and monitor a controlled exposure on a test film, for comparison with a known standard. The test sample should be selected from the current film lot, in order to avoid deviations that result from inter-lot film differences and latent image aging. Tobias WEJEX I-W, WEJEX IBG, and WEJEX II sensitometers generate a test exposure with a known, repeatable, electronically-controlled light source. Using a precise 21-step, 0.15D increment, glassprotected gray-scale wedge, a series of exposure steps from dark to light is produced on a film sample. The film is then developed in the processor and its printed densities are compared with corresponding densities of a reference, such as a densitometer measurement. Significant deviations signal the need for corrective action. Operation of these units is as easy as placing the film inside and pressing the expose switch. Exposure time is selectable from 0.1 to 3.2 seconds and is precisely controlled by advanced digital electronic circuitry. A built-in light integrator compensates for any variations in light intensity, however slight, that could be caused by light source aging or extreme power line variations. The WEJEX I-W and the WEJEX I-BG are designed for single-sided exposures; the WEJEX I-W utilizes a white light source and the WEJEX I-BG, a dual-color light source of blue (440 nm) and green (530 nm) per ANSI specification PH 2.48. The WEJEX II employs the same blue/green light source as the WEJEX I-BG and has the capability of producing either single-sided or double-sided (anti-crossover film) exposures.

Carousel Files
Information Design Products Carousel Filing System
Information Design Products Carousel Filing System is a compact microfilm storage file which offers rapid access to large amounts of data. It can be expanded quickly and easily at low cost. The high impact polystyrene construction assures easy, fatigue-free rotation.

Easily Accessible
The carousel system is designed for quick storage and retrieval of data. A small carousel can be located on top of a desk. A number of large files, holding 600 microfilm cartridges each, can be located next to a microfilm work station, allowing easy access to over 4,000 cartridges containing millions of documents. Work station clusters can be established to allow several operators access to a single file bank.

Highly Versatile
Although most commonly used for storing 16mm and 35mm microfilm (in boxes, magazines and standard cartridges), the system will also accommodate data cassettes, punched paper tape, NC tapes, MTST cartridges and various audio-visual materials (35mm film strip with cassettes, 8mm film loops, 8track audio tapes, audio cassettes and some TV tape cassettes). Labeling space is provided on each carousel for ready identification of each section and unit of stored material.

Grows With Your Expanding Needs

The carousel system is modular based on an expansion pack with 60 units of capacity. The minimum carousel includes an expansion pack, a top and a bottom. The bottom is a turntable that allows free rotation of the entire unit. The file can be expanded at any time by simply removing the top, placing one or more additional 60-unit expansion packs on the existing stack, and replacing the top.

Easily Affordable
Carousels are competitively priced with alternative storage and retrieval systems. More importantly, the systems accessibility allows for very effil Us cient use of stored materials. High-denCal lease ing Your P rd sity storage requires less floor space ega fic Needs and better utilization of existing facilities. R ci Spe Finally, current expenditures can be kept low as the systems capacity can be easily expanded as requirements grow.
