Transport Film
Transport several pieces of film of your usual size(s) through the processor. Inspect and, if
necessary, correct for the following:
1) Film Feed switch operation. The Wait lamp should stay on continuously until a few
seconds after the trailing edge of the material being processed is clear of the Film Feed
switch.
As the Wait light turns off, an audible beeper will sound indicating it is safe to feed in
another piece of material.
The processor will remain in the process mode for approximately 5 minutes after the film
feed switch is released.
2) Drift or Skewing. The film should feed through the processor in a straight line. If it
drifts, skews or wrinkles, check the racks for proper seating or loose assembly screws. Be
certain you are feeding the film in straight before checking racks.
3) Drying. Be sure the dryer is operating properly. Film processed in water alone may still
be slightly tacky or damp when exiting the processor.
