Loading Films - AGFA Drystar 4500 User Manual

Loading films

Introduction
This section describes how to load the Drystar 4500 with appropriate films.
The Drystar 4500 can be loaded with both 8x10" and 10x12" films.
The Drystar 4500 can be loaded with new films in full daylight. Loading films is
easy and can be done in no time. Follow the procedures as described in this section.
The Drystar 4500 will inform you in several ways that an input tray is empty:
An audible signal,
•
the Status indicator LED is flashing (red color),
•
the display screen shows a message informing you that either the upper or
•
lower input tray is empty.
Do NOT open the input tray when the display message says so!
In the procedure, we will assume that the lower input tray is to be loaded.
Except for the fact that you can not change the film format, the procedure for
the upper input tray is identical.
The procedure is slightly different, depending on the fact wether the Drystar 4500
is printing/calculating or in the ready state. When the printer is printing/
calculating, refer to
otherwise, refer to
2801E EN 20050215
