A couple things to keep in mind while using the slide maker:

• 24 Power Point slides will NOT fit onto a roll of 24 slide film.  If you have more than 20 slides to make, you will need a roll of 36 slide film.
• If you have more than 28 Power Point slides, you will need 2 rolls of slide film (at least 1 roll of 36 and 1 roll of 24)
• Please remain at or near the computer while you are making slides. 
• The Slide-Making process may take anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 hour.
• Please DO NOT leave and return expecting the slides to be complete.  The printing process may encounter an error that will stop the slides and will not restart without your assistance.
• Please DO NOT start a job and leave for long periods of time, there may be people waiting to use the machine.
• If you have questions or problems, please ask the lab monitor for help.  We will use all our available resources to help you.

Slide Maker Instructions:

1. Log on to the computer adjacent to the slide maker

User name:  slidemaker

Password:  slidemaker

Domain:  IBSCORE

2. Load your slide film into the camera body of the slide maker (just like you would load film into a regular camera).  When the camera body is closed, the film should advance and the screen should flash the number of exposures made (0) and the number of slides available (24 or 36).
   
3. Save your Power Point presentation on the E: drive in the UserData file.  (This will make the printing process go quicker.)
   
4. Open the presentation
   
5. Open the File menu and click on Print
   
6. Check that the printer is listed as the Personal LFR Plus
   
7. Click on the Properties button
   
8. In the Properties area, click on the Advanced button
   
9. Leave the Paper Size as Standard Slide
   
10. Under the Document Options area, specify the type of slide film that you loaded.  To do this, click on the words Film Type, then click on the down arrow to see the drop down list, scroll this list and click on the type of film that you loaded (or the closest to it).
    
11. Click OK at the bottom of the screen to set your selections.
    
12. Click OK again (on the Properties screen)
    
13. You will then be back in the print screen.  Set any other specifics that you need to such as print range, etc.  (You do NOT want to click on the scale to fit option.)
    
14. Click OK to print
    
15. You will get a message from PowerPoint saying that “the slides in your presentation exceed the printable area of the paper in the printer…” Click on the Print Anyway option.  (You DO NOT want to scale to fit as this will shrink the printed slide too much.)

You will need to remain at the computer and keep an eye on the progress of the printing.  After you click Ok to print, a new screen will open up called WinRascol.  This screen is the print que and will show the status of each slide sent to print.

16. Watch the progression of the slides because you may receive an error message.  If the word Error appears in the status column next to a slide, follow these steps to correct the problem:

• Click on the word Error.  It will change and say Waiting.
• Open the Job menu (at the top of the screen) and click on Start Que
• The slide should then change status to Printing.
• If the slide shows an error message a second time, click on the word Error to change it to Waiting, click again to change it to Hold.
• Open the Job menu and click on Start Que.
• Basically, that slide will not be able to print as is (the slide maker does not have enough memory to accommodate it).  You will need to change the slide and send it to print again after the rest of the slides are done.

17. When the slides are done printing*, delete any slides remaining in the que.  To delete remaining slides: right-click on the slide title and chose delete in the menu that pops up, repeat for all remaining slides.
    
    
18. Press the Rewind button on the camera body of the slide maker, when it is done rewinding, remove the film.
    
    
19. Close all open programs and log off the computer.

*If all your slides did not fit onto 1 roll of film:  When the first roll of film is full, rewind the film in the slide maker, and remove it.  Load the second roll of film.  Open the Job menu and click on Start Que.
