Testing the Paper Processor

To maintain or restore optimum processing quality, the chemicals of the paper
processor should be checked every day by means of the pre-exposed control strips.
Prerequisites:
The following working temperatures must have been reached:
DEV
BX
STB
Dryer
There is no order in process.
Use KODAK PROFESSIONAL Pro Strips for Process RA-4 (Catalog
No. 129 8587).
1. Check that the processing temperatures have been reached.
2. Unlatch and remove the control strip box (1) from the lane distributor.
3. In the darkroom, insert a chemical control strip into the control strip box.
With the handle of the control strip box to the right and the emulsion side (2)
down, first insert the trailing end of the control strip (end that comes out last
goes in first). The end of the control strip should be flush to the end of the box
If the control strip was accidentally inserted upside down (the emulsion is on
top), the processed control strip usually shows typical dirt marks.
