Microfilm Equipment

Districts and Divisions using microfilmed records need a means of reading the microfilm. The two basic types of microfilm equipment are:
  • Readers. Readers are only for viewing microfilm, microfiche, or other microforms. The least expensive readers are for microfiche. More expensive readers have interchangeable carriages for viewing different microforms. Readers may have various other features, including motorized carriages for high-speed searching and retrieval, and/or digital displays for frame counters.
  • Reader/printers. Reader/printers combine a reader with the capability to produce a paper copy of the image that is on the screen. They may be purchased with the same options described above.
