DEVELOPMENT UNIT

6-43

Replacement

Adjustment

Installing New Developer

1.  Place the development unit [A] in the developer installation position [B] and

pour in 1 bag (380 g) of developer [C].

NOTE: 1) When installing new developer, place the development unit on a flat

space.

2) When pouring developer, fill up the space between the development

roller and the first auger first. Then fill up the space between the two
augers. This speeds the agitation of the developer and prepares it
for use more quickly.

2.  Place the development unit in the developer scoop-up position [D]. Check that

the developer is not flowing out of the development unit casing while rotating
the sleeve in the forward direction.

ø

CAUTION

1.  If the developer is not installed on a flat place, the development unit

casing may bend and cause developer to fall when the sleeve is rotated.
If this occurs, remove and reinstall the developer.

2.  Do not rotate the development sleeve in the reverse direction.
