There are three ways to advance the microfilm.
- Use the motor controls on the physical viewer. The red buttons allow for fast forward and reverse, and the gray buttons allow for a slower forward and reverse.

- You can also use the virtual motor controls that appear at the bottom of the screen. They function in the same way as the physical controls.

- You can hide or display the virtual motor controls by selecting the Motor Controls icon on the left menu bar.

- Finally, you can advance the film by hand. Gently turn the take up reel to the right to fine-tune the placement of the film.
