Basic Operating Precautions

{~, o When accessing the machine interior for inspection or servicing, turn the power switch to STANDBY
{~=. place the built-in circuit breaker in the OFF ( O ) position, and turn OFF the facility power circuit bre~ker.
AWARNING
Inspecting or servicing the inside of the machine with the facility power circuit breaker left ON may expose
personnel to hazardous conditions and damage the maclline.
e If the machine emits smoke, generates an ab,normal ,sound or its external surface becomes unduly hot,
immediately stop using it, set the power switch to STANDBY, place the built-in circuit breaker in the OFF
( O ) position, turn OFF the facility power circuit breaker, and contact your local dealer.
~WARNING
Do not modify the machine without permission from the nlanufacturer because safety assurance features and
other essential functions may be impaired. If the machine needs to be modified, contact your local dealer.
~WARNING
Never remove covers or other parts that are screwed dovvn because such will increase the risk of electric
shock or injury to personnel. If any parts need to be unscrewed, contact your local dealer.
o Use only Fujifilm recommended replacement parts.
l MPORTANT:
If parts other than those recommended by Fujifilm are us,ed, the warranty will be voided.
ACAUTION
Do not operate the machine with cover~ openlclose sensors forced ON while the covers are open. These
sensors serve as safety switches. If they are forced ON, the system concludes that the covers are closed
making the machine operative, and this may expose personnel to hazardous conditions and damage the
machine.
e Never position objects in close proximity to pr'ocessing ordryersection cover vents. Such will impair
machine ventilation thereby causing temperal[ure control problems.
~CAUTION
Take care to avoid injury when replacing the cutter blades.

1 .2 RoOm Conditions
e Temperature: 15to 30'C (59 to 86'F)
Ambient room temperatures above 30'C (86"F) c,r below 1 5'C (59'F) will destabilize processing and
replenisher solution temperatures to the detriment of processing performance. Pay special attention to
winter room temperatures and maintain solution temperatures within designated ranges.
Also, ensure that the processing chemical storage temperatures are not below 1 5'C (59'F).
o Relative Humidity: 30 to 70'1-
Relative humidities above 70'/• will result in inadequate printer paper t

producing
all times.
abnormal prints. Maintain ambient room relative humidity
e Ventilation

e lllumination: 500 Iux or lower
Maintain room illumination levels so that no more than 500 Iux impinges on the processor loader cover. If
the equipment main body is exposed to direct ouliside ligllt or strong reflected light, use curtains or blinds
to shield the equipment from such extraneous light.
REFERENCE, Two 40w nuorescent lamps provide 500 Iux ,of iuumination at a distance ot I meter (3. 3 ft).
NoTE: Excessivety high indoor illumination levels adversety affect tinis'hed negative quality.
o Never expose the room temperature/humidity sensor on 'the machine to direct airfrom the airconditioner.
Do not place a heat source near the room temperature/h]umidity sensor, or the automatic water
replenishment function will not operate properly.

9.3 PoWer Failure Response
In the event of a power failure, use the manual drive crank and follow the procedure described beIOW to
complete the processing of any film which is being processed. Normally, this task Should be done by two
perSOns.
If the electric power is recovered quickly, especially before the processing section cover is opened, forced
drive can be used to complete processing (see subsection 9.:3.1 ).
1 . Turn the powerswitch to STANDBY.
2. Remove the crank cover and attach the manual drive crank to the
drive shaft.
3. Turn the crank clockwise, about 13 seconds per rotation.

~ ~i ~ NOTE:
. • The crank re~sistance increases if there is
l nc,t been cut and whose leading end is immersed in the N1 solution when
Manual Drive crank thi9 film is completely pulled out.
F498 . The trailing l~nd of the film is automatically cut by the charge containing
power supply (the cutting sound can be heard). This operation is
pertormed rtdl:ice if two films are being processed in parallel.
Tfle trailing end is not cut for IX240, 1 1 O. 126 and 120 films.

1 1 .3 Replacing CirculatiOn Filters
The processing solution circulation filters are pro'vided to filter out dirt and sediment from the circulating
processing solutions. Clogging of these filters will reduce the flow of circulating solutions. Although filter
clogging depends on the volume of film processed, all circulation filters should be replaced once a month.
Also replace the circulation filters when replacing the pro,cessing solutions.
~ CAUTION
When handling processing chemicals or solutions, wear safety goggles, protective gloves and other
appropriate protective gear, so as to avoid direct contact with chemicals.
When replacing processing solutions or cleaning solution tanks, wear a waterproof apron so as to avoid direct
Wash hands thoroughly after handling processing chemicals of solutions.
IMPORTANT:
If processing solution circulation filters are not cleaned or replaced, the processing solution flow may be
reduced. This will impair temperature control which in irurn will deteriorate processing performance.
Clean or replace the filters one at a time in the normal processing sequence to avoid processing solution
inter-contamination.
