When film sheets are loaded in both trays: 

The LCD displays the size and remaining amounts of film 
sheets loaded in both trays.

When the film sheets loaded in either film tray 1 
or film tray 2 have been used up: 

On the row corresponding to the tray where film sheets 
have been used up, the message “Set Film” is displayed.

When the film sheets loaded in both trays have 
been used up:

The message “Set Film” is displayed on both rows.
The ALARM indicator lights in orange.

Loading film sheets

Proceed as follows to load film sheets.
We will explain how to load film sheets using film tray 1 
as an example. Load film sheets in the lower tray in the 
same way as you do for the upper tray. 

Notes

• Hold the film using the damp-proof bag. Do not touch 

the film directly. Dust, finger prints, or sweat are likely 
to cause unsatisfactory printing.

• Hold both sides of the film tray and tray cover tightly 

when handling the film tray.

1

Push the EJECT TRAY button for film tray 1 on the 
front panel.
Film tray 1 is partially ejected.

Notes

• You can load film sheets without pulling out the 

film tray completely out. However, if you want to 
pull out it completely, hold both sides of the film 
tray and film tray cover firmly.

• The film tray can not be ejected when the covers are 

open.

• Even when film sheets have run out in the middle of 

continuous printing, you can load new film sheets in 
the vacant film tray. (See page 26.)

Push the EJECT TRAY 
button for film tray 1.
