5.
If there is an empty dispensing magazine in the magazine stand, remove it by
lifting it out. Then place the dispensing magazine loaded with unexposed
films squarely in the magazine stand.
?
If the magazine is not placed squarely in the magazine stand, it will be impos-
sible to insert the magazine stand smoothly.
?
Two dispensing magazines and two receiving magazines (
F
Fig. 5.2) are
provided in order to enhance throughput. That is to say, while one dispensing
magazine is being used, the other can be kept in the desiccator (optionally
available) so that the loaded films are ready and demoisturized when needed.
Also, as one receiving magazine is being filled during the course of photogra-
phy, the second one can be kept handily, ready for the next sequence of film-
ing.
?
When handling the magazines, hold them so as to prevent the magazine lid
from dropping out.
6.
If there is a receiving magazine loaded with exposed films in the magazine
stand, remove it by lifting it out and replace it with an empty receiving
magazine.
?
Never remove the lid from a loaded magazine outside a dark room.
7.
Push the magazine stand fully in.
8.
Close the camera chamber door and, while holding it closed, turn the door
handle counterclockwise as far as it will go.
?
Before closing the camera chamber door, check the O-ring and its contact
surfaces for dust, lint, etc. A dirty O-ring may adversely affect the camera
chamber vacuum.
9.
Write the number of unused films (the number of films loaded in the dispens-
ing magazine) on the monitor (
F
Sect. 4.4.6e).
