Important
• When inserting the film, bring it into contact with the left side of the Feed Tray ( 21 ). Insert the film slowly. Once
the film is inserted, do not pull it back or the developer on the edge of the film may moisten the Feed Tray,
resulting in uneven development of a film or in a transport problem.
• The Feed Tray ( 21 ) is 35 cm (14 in.) long. If a film is longer than 35 cm (14 in.), do not close the Lid of the Feed
Tray ( 2 ) until the end of the film is inside the Feed Tray. Check that it is closed tightly. Or feed the next sheet
of film, when the beep has sounded and the "Ready" Light turns on.
• Closing the Lid of the Feed Tray ( 2 ) tightly blocks the room light. As soon as you close the Lid of the Feed Tray,
you may turn the room lights on.
• Approximately 5 minutes after the last sheet of film is finished processing, the Processor will automatically go
into the Standby Mode to save energy.
– While in the Standby Mode, various components inside the Processor will run intermittently to maintain the
temperature of the developer.
– In the Dryer, the fan rotates slowly and the Dryer goes to the preheating condition to keep the heat chambers
warm.
– If you need to insert a film while the Processor is in the Standby Mode, insert it through the Feed Tray. A
sensor will detect the sheet of film and switch the Processor out of Standby Mode.
[1] Before processing a sheet of film, check that:
• the "Ready" Light » ( 6 ) is on, but not blinking
• the room lights are off
[2] Lift the Lid of the Feed Tray ( 2 ) and place a sheet of film inside the Feed Tray. Align the film along the left side
of the Feed Tray ( 21 ) . See Figure
