CAUTION
Cleanup sheets should be made from 20 in. x 24 in. x 0.004 in. (50.8 cm x 61 cm _ x 0.10 mm) clean,
processed, lithographic film. Do not use continuous-tone films or processor solutions will be contaminated. The
first few cleanup sheets will come through dirty. This is dirt pickup from the rollers and should disappear as more
sheets are fed through the processor. Discard all cleanup sheets after 30 days and make new ones.
ao.
With flowmeter control valves open slightly, feed several cleanup sheets, emulsion side up, into processor.
Make sure cleanup sheets transport properly through processor. Make sure flowmeter balls rise in their tubes,
indicating that replenisher pump is working.
NOTE
A flowmeter chart must be created at initial startup for both flowmeters. Refer to operator PMCS (Table 5-1) for
instructions on creating flowmeter chart. After you have established the flow rates and constructed the chart, you
should retain data for future use.
ap.
Set flowmeter control valves to desired replenishment rate.

Operating Procedures.
a.
Daily startup.
NOTE
If limited quantities of film are to be developed, the processor may be used in manual mode to prevent
contamination of the recirculation tank water. This is accomplished by turning the RECYCLING valve to drain
position and turning the WATER SUPPLY valve OFF.
