14. Cut the film from the self-threader with a pair of scissors.
15. Attach the film to a reel using one of the methods described in
"Attaching film to a take-up reel."
16. Place the take-up reel on the spindle.
NOTE: If you pull on the self-threader or when you remove the self-
threader from the film, you may unintentionally raise and lower
the tension roller. Raising and lowering the tension roller
activates the time delay for energy conservation mode, which
causes the film transport to stop after 60 seconds (3 m or 10 ft
of film).
If approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) of film has exited from the
Archive Processor but has not yet been tensioned, lift and
release the tension roller to reset the time delay for an
additional 60 seconds.
If the film transport stops before the film is tensioned,
immediately press and release the Mode switch to the Run
position or lift and release the tension roller bracket. This will
restart the film transport. If film is left stopped in the processing
chemicals, image quality problems will result.
Remove all film ends and tape before reusing the self-
threaders. Do not use self-threaders that have been folded,
curled or shortened. Store the self-threaders by hanging them
from the prepunched hole in the end.
When the trailing end of the film leaves the dryer rack, tension is
lost and the tension roller automatically lowers. The loss of tension
activates the 60-second time delay for the energy conservation
mode. Once energy conservation mode is activated, the film
transport, rinse water, and dryer blower will all turn off.
17. Add developer to the developer tank if the Archive Processor
operates in manual replenishment mode.
Add developer after 61 m (200 ft) of 0.14 mm/5.2 mil-thick film or
65.5 m (215 ft) of 0.07 mm/2.7 mil-thick film has been processed.
