I. Format your PowerPoint Presentation.

When you first start your PowerPoint Presentation you need to format it for 35mm slides. Click on File – Page Setup and under "Sides sized for:" choose "35mm Slides" and click OK.

II. Load Film and Print

Warning! To print slides, turn on the film recorder before you turn on the computer!

Load Film

1. Turn the recorder on and wait until the unit finishes testing itself. Slide the film door button down and open the door.
   
   
2. Insert the film cassette at an angle into the chamber as shown (picture 15). The pin in the chamber fits into the hole on the bottom of the cassette. Push it all the way in, so that the film lies flat in the track. Note: Avoid touching the shutter when loading film.
   
   
   
3. Pull the end of the film out carefully, until the end is aligned with the white triangle at the lower right, near the take-up spool (picture 16). If you pull it out too far, take the cassette out and wind the extra film back in by turning the black knob at the top of the cassette.
   
   
4. When the end of the film is properly aligned with the white triangle, close the film door until it clicks shut. The message panel will display Loading f film. The film will automatically advance to the first exposure, and the message panel will display the number of frames available (for example, 24 Frames Left of 24 for a 24-exposure roll).

Note: You may be able to expose more frames than indicated by the film manufacturer. For example, the camera may allow you to make 13 exposures on a 12-exposure roll. In this case, the message panel will display 13 Frames Left of 13. The film is unwound to the physical end of the roll when first loaded, and is wound back into the cassette frame by frame with each exposure. This scheme allows the camera to accurately report the number of exposures available, and protects exposed images if the camera door is inadvertently opened.

Set up Printing in PowerPoint

1. Open your presentation in PowerPoint and verify that it is sized for 35mm slides. (See Section I. )
2. Click File – Print. The Print dialog box will open. Click the down arrow next to the printer name to change the printer to the Polaroid ProPallette 7000.
3. Click on the Properties Button. The Polaroid ProPallette 7000 properties screen will appear. (See Figure 3 on the next page.) Click the "Paper" tab.
4. Under "Paper Size," click on PowerPoint. Note: Ignore the Layout and Orientation sections below this. (The ProPallette is smart enough to switch the page orientation automatically.)
5. Click on the Device Options tab and make sure that the film type is set to match the type of film you are using. Click OK and PowerPoint will begin printing your presentation to 35mm slides.

While your Slides are Printing

After you have clicked "OK" to print your slides, an item called RasterPlus will appear on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. Click on this to monitor the progress of your slides. When a check mark appears next to your presentation in RasterPlus, it means that printing is completed.

Removing Film From the Camera

When you are finished exposing a roll of 35mm film, the camera will automatically rewind the film. The message panel will then display Out of Film . Open the front door of the recorder, open the film door, and remove the film cassette. The film should be completely rewound into the cassette .

Remove a Partially Exposed Roll of Film

To rewind a partially exposed roll of film, press the Escape key to display the change Setup? menu. Press the Down key until Rewind Film is displayed. Press the Select key The film will rewind, and the message panel will display out of Film when done. Remove the film. Note: Do not try to reinstall a partially exposed roll of film. Also, if you manually remove film without rewinding it, you must select Rewind Film using the keypad before loading a new roll of film, to reset the film counter. If you need to advance film (leave unexposed frames) during a session, press the Escape key to display the change Setup? menu. Press the Down key until Advance Film? is displayed. Press the Select key; the film will advance one frame. To advance the film by more than one frame, repeat this sequence the desired number of times. Note: This option is useful if you experienced a power failure during an exposure cycle. You should advance the film by one frame, then reshoot the image on the next frame. Or, if you inadvertently opened the film door when a partially exposed roll was loaded, you should advance the film by a few frames to bypass the light fogged frames of film.
