Temporary Lab Shut‐down Steps
Please follow the steps below for each machine to properly prepare the Photo Lab equipment for temporary shut‐down.
For Wet‐Labs Printers
1. Click and follow the normal [Post‐operation Check].
2. Note the automatic shut‐down operations take several minutes to fully complete. It is very important to allow
the printer to fully finish this process. When complete the printer will shut down completely.
3. When the printer has turned itself off, then turn the built‐in circuit breaker off; located
on the lower right side of printer. See illustration to the right.
4. Do additional cleaning to the crossovers & dryer entrance rack by removing and
cleaning them in the sink. Use spray bottle with warm water to rinse the tops of the
racks to thoroughly wash down any chemical residue in the working tanks.
5. Important: Re‐install crossovers & dryer entrance rack back into the machine.
6. Clean and replace all circulation filters.
7. Close the dryer section and all other doors.
8. Do normal Windows shut‐down on the LPC and PIC computers.
Recommendation for short term storage: Weekly steps to minimize the oxidation and crystallization of the
chemicals:
1. Restart the system by first turning on the printer's breaker, and then manually start machine by turning on the
stand‐by switch. Note the machine may alarm of the working tank levels being low. If this occurs you need to
top off by adding warm water into each of the working tanks.
2. The machine will need to warm up for approx. 30 – 60 minutes. Also note that "Evaporation Compensation" will
likely be displayed for a much longer time period. This is normal and will clear automatically when finished.
3. Start up the LPC. Once fully started Start up the PIC computer.
4. Print at least (300) 6x4 prints and (50) 12x18 prints to allow the circulation and replenishment systems to be
exercised and refreshed.
5. Follow the shutdown steps again as described above.
6. Following these steps should prolong the chemical in the working tank for approximately one month.
Recommendation for short term storage: Recommend for shutdown over 30 days:
