OPERATION
b. Insert the carrier into slots 3 and 6 in the film
inlet. Make sure the edges of the film(s) clear
the side walls of the film inlet.
c. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The
carrier will drop into the transport and processing
begins when the shutter automatically opens.
Processing #4 (Occlusal) Films
a. Strip the cover off one #4 film and carefully
bend almost in half. Slide the film into the carrier,
making sure both edges of the film are held in
place by the guide tabs. Remove film inlet grill.
#0 and #1 films cannot be fed directly into the processor. These films fit into
corresponding # carriers (supplied with the processor), each of which carries the
film through the processing cycle. Up to six #0 or #1 films can be loaded into
corresponding carriers at one time.

a. To load #0 or #1 film into the corresponding # carrier,
nest the carrier inside the tabs on the cover, next to the
inlet grill.
b. Strip the cover off the film(s) and slide the film(s) vertically,
one at a time, into any of the six grooves on the carrier.
Push down firmly until the film touches the cover. Repeat
until as many grooves as required are filled. The films
should be standing vertically and parallel to each other,
away from the center bar. Make sure that each film on the
carrier is in its own groove.
c. Remove the film inlet grill. (Remember to replace it when processing #2 films.) Insert the
carrier, with the film(s) standing vertically, into the film inlet.
d. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The carrier will drop into the transport and
begin processing when the shutter automatically opens.
Processing #3 (Bite-Wing) Films
#3 films cannot be fed directly into the processor. Use a #3 carrier that holds two
films at a time.
a. Strip the cover off one or two #3 film(s) and slide the film(s) horizontally, one at a time,
through both side plates of the #3 carrier. Remove film inlet grill.
b. Place the carrier onto the film inlet with the orientation arrow (on the side of the carrier)
pointing down.
c. Slide the shutter to the right until it latches. The carrier will drop into the transport and
begin processing when the shutter automatically opens.
5. When processing is completed, turn the
PROCESS
switch
OFF
. The green
READY
light remains
lit. At the end of the day turn the
POWER
switch
OFF
. Both the green
READY
light and the
amber
POWER
light will extinguish.
To assure complete drying of processed # 4 films, a
manual assist may be needed,if so;
1. While the fan is blowing, hold the open end of the film
in the carrier directly over the dryer grille, about 1”- 2”
elevation is sufficient, and slowly pivot the carrier to
have warm air blow on the outer surface.
2. 30-60 seconds should be enough time to adequately
dry film.
3. Unload the dried film from the carrier when done.
