Inserting and Removing Film Under the MIDDLE FILM SENSOR
[5] Repeat Step 4 two additional times. Check that replenishment solution is pumped each time into the 500 mL
GRADUATED CYLINDER.
[6] Measure and record the volume of developer replenishment solution in the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
[7] Calculate the average measurement by dividing the volume of developer replenishment in the 500 mL
GRADUATED CYLINDER by 3.
[8] Compare your average of developer replenishment solution to the recommended volume listed in the
Replenishment Rate Sheet, Publication Number 1C0578, which is located in the front pocket of your
publications binder.
[9] Empty the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
• If you measured the correct volume of developer replenishment solution, do not make any
replenishment adjustments. Go to Step 10 on Page 62.
• If you measured less than the recommended volume of developer replenishment solution, do the
following steps to increase the rate of replenishment:
1. Insert the DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT CHECK TUBE into the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
2. Insert and remove a small sheet of film under the RIGHT (PLUS) FILM SENSOR on the right side
of the FEED TRAY. Listen for the PROCESSOR to beep once indicating an increase of 5 mL.
To make large changes in the replenishment rate, you may insert and remove a sheet of film from the
RIGHT (PLUS) FILM SENSOR several times consecutively.
3. Again, insert and remove a small sheet of film under the MIDDLE FILM SENSOR three times.
4. Measure and record the volume of developer replenishment solution in the GRADUATED
CYLINDER.
5. Calculate the average measurement by dividing the total volume of replenishment solution by 3.
6. Empty the replenishment solution from the GRADUATED CYLINDER.
7. Again, compare your recorded average developer replenishment solution to the recommended volume
listed in the Replenishment Rate Sheet located in the front pocket of your publications binder.
8. If the volume is below the recommended volume by more than 3 mL, continue increasing the
replenishment rate as necessary.
9. Check that the DEVELOPER REPLENISHMENT CHECK TUBE is pushed down into the
DEVELOPER TANK.
10. Go to Step 11 on Page 62 to adjust the replenishment rate for the fixer.
