XTC/3 Operating Manual
NOTE:
In XTC/2 one can program a zero film number in layer two and a good film
number in layer three. This is not allowed in XTC3. If a zero is programmed
in layer two and there is a good film number in layer three the film in layer
three is then placed in layer two. Layer three is then empty.
U 40 2 v or U 40 3 v is not allowed in XTC3S since only one film is allowed
in XTC3S.
