4. Press and release the PGM button on the dryer control to return to
display mode. The light to the left of the SP (setpoint) is no longer
illuminated. The current temperature is displayed.
5. Allow some time for the dryer chamber temperature to stabilize after
each adjustment (approximately 5 minutes).
NOTE: Film must feel dry to the touch. If the dryer temperature is too
high, film could stick to the rollers and cause a film jam. Also, a
temperature setting that is too high can cause the film to stick
together on the reel (bricking).
If the dryer temperature is too low, the film will not dry
completely, causing it to feel tacky when it exits and stick
together on the take-up reel.
Image quality defects will occur if the temperature setting is
too low or too high.
6. Turn the dryer and the transport off by lifting and releasing the
tension roller.
The dryer and transport will stop after a preset time delay has
elapsed. (The factory preset is 60 seconds. The Field Engineer can
change the time delay.)
1. Press and release the Mode switch to the Run position.
2. Feed a self-threader into the feed chute on the #1 rack to make sure
that all racks are fully seated and working properly. Allow the self-
threader to exit the processor.
3. Lift and release the tension roller to shut off the processor. The
processor will stop 60 seconds after the tension roller is released.
