• Wipe down all rollers above the solution level.
Use a separate rag for developer rollers. A cleaning sheet can be
used as an alternative to wiping down the rollers. A cleaning sheet
can be any pre-processed media that is at least 18 inches (46 cm)
long.
• Make sure that the water supply is adequate.
The processor can be equipped with a wash recirculator or a direct
water supply. If your system has a wash recirculator, make sure
that the water level is high enough. If you use a direct water sup-
ply, make sure that the valve feeding the processor is open and that
enough water is flowing.
• Check the development time, temperature, and replenishment
settings at the processor.
Check these settings every time you process media.
Note: To prevent the growth of algae in the wash tank,
drain the tank at the end of each day.
Weekly Maintenance
Follow this weekly maintenance procedure:
• Pull the wash rack and drain the wash section.
Clean and wipe down the wash tank. If algae buildup is a problem,
clean the inside of the tank with bleach and rinse well. Clean the
wash roller rack with warm water.
Note: Never put racks on the dryer cover. Chemicals
may run into the wiring.
• Change developer filters.
Change the developer filter every 40 working hours.
• Clean the wash recirculator (U.S. Only).
(Not all systems are equipped with a wash recirculator.) Remove and
replace the filter; wipe down the tank and fill with fresh water.
