Adjusting the Dryer Temperature
When films exit the Dryer Assembly, they should be "just dry." The films should feel cool to the touch, but be dry.
• If films are wet and feel tacky when they exit the Dryer Assembly, then the Dryer setpoint temperature is too low.
• If films are over dry and feel hot to the touch when they exit the Dryer Assembly, then the Dryer setpoint
temperature is too high.
Note
Wait 5 minutes between Dryer temperature adjustments so that the Dryer can reach the new setpoint temperature.
To adjust the Dryer setpoint temperature to the correct temperature setting for your most commonly used
film size and type, follow the steps below.
[1] Turn the Dryer Temperature Control Knob, located on the Display Panel on the front of the processor, so that
the Pointer on the Knob points straight up ↑.
(a) If you are turning the Dryer Temperature Control Knob from its full counterclockwise
will feel 5 detents as you turn the Knob to its upright position.

[2] Allow 5 minutes for the Dryer temperature to stabilize and then feed a test sheet of pre-exposed, non-
processed film.
Note
• Select the film type and size that will be most commonly used. Different film types require different drying
temperatures for optimum results.
• If you are increasing the Dryer setpoint temperature, the Ready Indicator will illuminate and the Wait Indicator
will turn off once the Dryer has reached the new setpoint temperature.
• If you are decreasing the Dryer setpoint temperature, the Wait Indicator will not illuminate when the Dryer has
reached its new setpoint temperature. Therefore, allow 5 minutes after decreasing the Dryer setpoint temperature
for the Dryer to reach its new setpoint temperature. The processor may enter Standby Mode during this time.
[3] Examine how the sheet of film feels to the touch as it exits the Dryer Assembly.
a. If the sheet of film is damp or tacky when it exits the Dryer Assembly:
• turn the Dryer Temperature Control Knob clockwise
b. If the sheet of film is dry and hot when it exits the Dryer Assembly:
• turn the Dryer Temperature Control Knob counterclockwise
