Changing the film format of the trays

The Key-operator can adjust the film size setting of both the input trays and
the output tray (8x10" up to 14x17" film sizes).
First, the Key-operator has to perform a mechanical modification. After this
modification, the 'film format' parameter is automatically read from the Film
Identification tag when the new film pack is loaded.
Never load another film format when the input tray is not empty. Intermediate
changing of film formats increases the risk for dust, which can damage the thermal
print head (TPH).
The system performs an automatic calibration when the film format has been
changed.
Proceed as follows to perform the mechanical modification:
Make sure that the printer is in 'Ready' mode.
1
Press the Unlock button to unlock the trays.
2
You have 5 seconds to open the input tray. If you do not open the tray within that
time, the first screen (step 1 or 5 respectively) is presented again, or printing is
resumed when a job is received for which media is available.
Open the input tray you want to adapt.
