Introduction

General Information

The Kodak X-Omat 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor is a self-threading roller-type film
processor that is designed only to be integrated with the Kodak Ektascan 2180 Laser
Printer. The Kodak Ektascan 2180 Laser Printer can operate without the Kodak X-Omat
180 LP or 180 LPS Processor, but the Processor cannot operate without the 2180 Laser
Printer. The Processor must be connected to the Printer to receive information and film
from the Printer.
The 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor uses a single-speed Film Transport Motor and has four
racks. They are the Developer, Fixer, Wash, and Dryer Racks. The Processor operates at
the speed of 63 inches per minute. The Receive Magazine in the 2180 Laser Printer can
be used in addition to the 180 LP or 180 LPS Processor, or instead of the Processor. For
example, if two different types of film are loaded in the two Supply Magazines of the
Laser Printer, the Processor could be set up with chemistry to process one type film
while the other type of film could be collected in the Receive Magazine to be processed
in a remote Processor.
The Kodak X-Omat 180 LPS Processor has a 9 Bin Film Sorter installed at the factory.
To improve productivity, each Sorter Bin usually receives films from a particular
imaging device connected to the Laser Printer.
Kodak RP chemicals and Kodak Ektascan HN or HNC laser imaging films
(code EHN-10 and EHNC-10) are recommended for use with the 180 LP or 180 LPS
Processor.
