Step 1 Separating Selected Items

Step 1: Separating Selected Items

If YES
Continue

If NO:
Pull the sleeve by reaching into the folder, find the sleeve and pull only that sleeve, then continue on to Step 2


Does your selection include multiple subfolders (ex. 741.42.a. 1-52, 53-104)?

If YES
Pull all sleeves from all subfolders,
1. Pull the sleeves with the lowest numbers first (ex. If two subfolders exist one 1-50 and the second 51-100 , pull all of the sleeves out of 1-50 first)
2. Put all of the sleeves pulled from the first folder facing down on the table
3. Pull all of the sleeves from the next subfolder and place them facing downward on top of the first subfolder sleeves
4. Repeat until all sleeves from all subfolders have been pulled for the folder.
5. Now all sleeves from the folder should be facing downward on the table in one stack, flip all of the sleeves that are face down left to right all at once. This will right them so that sleeves 1-___ will be in numerical order facing up on the table.
6. Continue

[See photo 1]




If NO
1. Pull all sleeves from the folder, arrange them facing up so the first sleeve of the folder is facing upward
2. Continue



Pull up the request form as a reference. Is any negative in the first sleeve selected for scanning? [See Photo 2]


if YES
1. Place the sleeve face down to the immediate left of the stack already on the table that was just pulled from the folder.
2. Continue


If NO
1. Place the sleeve face down to the immediate right of the stack already on the table that was just pulled from the folder.
2. Continue


" Continue this process with each sleeve in the stack, when all sleeves have been evaluated there will be two stacks flip both stacks left to right so that they are face up with the lowest number sleeve on top.
" Place the stack on the right off to the side as it will not be needed until scanning is completed.
" Place the stack to the left directly in front for further evaluation

Is the first sleeve in this stack 35mm? [See photo 3]


If YES
1. Place the sleeve face down to the immediate left of the stack
2. Continue


If NO
1. Place the sleeve face down to the immediate right of the stack
2. Continue


" Continue this process with each sleeve in the stack, when all sleeves have been evaluated there will be two stacks flip both stacks left to right so that they are face up with the lowest number sleeve on top.
" Place the stack to the right to the side and refer to the training log for 4.25, 60mm, and 4x5 for scanning instructions.
" Place the stack to the left face up on top of the 35mm scanner
" Continue to Step 2
