Do store scanners affect the films magnetics?
No, the light from optical scanners used in cash register systems do not harm an Advanced Photo System film’s magnetics in any way. • Do I have to worry if my Advanced Photo System film gets near a magnet? A strong magnet in close proximity to an Advanced Photo System film cassette might damage the magnetic data stored on the film, just as it can damage audio or video tapes. You should take the same precautions you would take when storing or handling those types of materials. • Do electrical appliances corrupt or damage the data stored on my film? Electrical appliances do not have any effect on the magnetic data recorded on Advanced Photo System films.
