5 Pull the black tab straight, all the way out of the holder (26).
A small white tab (26-T) will appear. If not, see No white
tab?
Operation
Note: The indicators on the control panel will light up to remind
you of the next step. The camera will not operate until each
step is completed.
Take the picture
1 Take the data card from the applicant.
2 Orient the card so that you can read it, and slide it all the
way into the card holder (27). The camera will photograph
the card.
3 The aiming light will go on and stay on for 10 seconds. Grip
the sides of the camera, and tilt it as needed to place the
aiming light on the subject’s upper lip.
4 Press the blue button lightly (28) to turn on the rangefinder.
Check the distance indicators on the control panel. If
necessary, ask the subject to lean forward or back, so the
"correct distance" light goes on. (If the aiming light and
rangefinder have gone off, simply press the blue button
lightly to turn them on again.) Then press the blue button
firmly to take the picture.
5 Push the release button, and slide the film holder DOWN (or
RIGHT) (29).
6 If picture #2 will be of a different subject, remove the data
card. Check, and then insert the second data card.
If you are taking two pictures of the same subject, slide the
card out 2-3 in. (5-7cm), then reinsert it.
7 Aim the camera and take the second picture in the same
manner as the first (30).
Process the film
1 Press the button and slide the film holder UP (or LEFT) (31).
Important: The film tabs must be pulled straight all the way
out of the holder.
2 Pull the white tab straight, all the way out of the holder (32).
A large yellow tab will appear. If not, see No yellow tab?
3 Grip the yellow tab firmly, and pull it straight, at moderate
speed, without hesitation, all the way out of the holder
(33).
Note: With the vertical-badge and single card cameras, grip
the film holder as shown while pulling the film tabs (34).
4 Press the blue button to start the timer (35).
5 Place the sheet of film into the pocket below the timer (36).
6 At the end of the processing time, the timer will beep.
Separate the print from the negative, starting at the end
nearest the yellow tab (37).
Fold the negative, moist side in, and dispose of it properly.
See Caution notice.
Diecut the print
1 Insert the print into the diecutter as shown (38). Check that
the ID pictures are properly centered left to right.
2 Push down on the handle to cut the print into two ID pictures
(39).
3 Release the handle, then remove the scrap paper from the
diecutter (40).
Laminate the picture
Most ID pictures will be sealed inside a plastic pouch for
protection. Then pouches may be printed with additional
information, or have a magnetic stripe or other security
features.
1 Place the diecut picture inside the pouch (41).
2 Place the pouch inside the carrier, with the sealed side of
the pouch against the closed side of the carrier (42).
3 Insert the carrier into the laminator (43). The rollers inside
the laminator will start, and pull the carrier through. The
carrier will come out through the slot in the back of the
laminator.
4 Allow the carrier to cool for several seconds before
removing it from the laminator exit slot (44).
5 Open the carrier and remove the laminated card (45).
Handle the card carefully until it has cooled. Do not flex or
bend the card.
If the edges of the ID card pouch appear ragged, the laminator
thermostat may be set too high. If the pouch is not completely
sealed, the thermostat may be set too low.
To adjust the laminator thermostat:
1 Turn off the laminator and disconnect the power cord.
2 Insert a screwdriver into the opening and turn the control
toward (+) to increase the temperature, or toward (-) to
decrease it (46). The control should be turned no more than
1/8
th
turn.
Troubleshooting
No white tab?
Open the door and, without moving the film pack, push the
white tab out (47). Then close and latch the door.
No yellow tab?
Do not pull another white tab. Instead, carefully open the
holder far enough to get a finger on top of the film pack to hold
it in position (48).
Grasp the topmost yellow tab, and gently pull it all the way out
and discard it (49). Inspect the rollers and clean them if
necessary (see Clean the developer rollers). Close and latch
the door, with the next white tab sticking out. (You will have to
reshoot the ID pictures that were on that sheet of film.)
