Loading films

This section describes how to load the printer with appropriate films.
The printer can be loaded with 8x10", 10x12", 11x14", 14x14" and 14x17"
films.
The printer will inform you in several ways that an input tray is empty:
• An audible signal,
• the Status indicator LED is flashing (red color),
• the Unlock button LED is flashing,
• the display screen shows a message informing you that either the upper or
lower input tray is empty.
The film loading procedure is identical for both input trays. In the examples
below, we will assume that the lower input tray is to be loaded.
Topics:
• When the printer is printing or calculating
• When the printer is in the ready state
• Film loading procedure
• Checking the correct position of a film in the input tray
2901J EN 20191018 0826
Note: The printer can be loaded with new films in full daylight.
Loading films is easy and can be done in no time. Follow the
procedures as described in this section.
Note: The procedure is slightly different, depending on the fact
wether the printer is printing/calculating or in the ready state.
WARNING:
Never load an additional film sheet or film sheets to a film pack
in use. Only load a new film pack when the current input tray is
empty.
