Trendsetter 3244+ AL Consumables

Safety panels

The safety panels are located on either side of the unload table. These
plexiglass panels help protect against injury when the unload table is
lowering to a horizontal position or raising to an upright position. See
Figure 3 on page 8.

CAUTION:

Do not reach into the area protected by the safety panels.

Required Operating Conditions

As the output device uses a thermal exposure head and images thermal
plates, it does not require darkroom conditions.
