To the specified volume of water, add the PRIME SP Bleach-Fix Replenisher LORR and PRIME SP Bleach-Fix Starter concentrates directly from the bottles. Allow the recirculation pumps to mix the solution when the processor is turned on. If necessary, add a small amount of water to finish filling the tank.

TO PREPARE A FRESH SUPER RINSE TANK SOLUTION

You will need to prepare fresh super rinse tank solution when you drain the tanks for routine cleaning. To prepare fresh tanks, add one rinse tablet to each stabilizer tank, and fill the tank with water to the appropriate level.

DISPOSING OF EMPTY CARTRIDGES

Your processor rinses the chemical solutions from the cartridge during the mixing cycle. The empty cartridge is not considered to be hazardous waste. Most regions have a local community-recycling program. Check with program authorities to determine if these bottles are eligible for local recycling. See KODAK Publication No. CIS-148, Recycling KODAK Photochemical Containers, for more information on preparing the empty bottles for recycling. CIS-148 and other publications on waste management are available from www.kodak.com/go/KES. If recycling is not an option, rinse the bottles as outlined in CIS-148, render the bottles unusable (if warranted), and then dispose with your normal solid waste.

FILTRATION

Processing solutions may contain insoluble materials. If you don’t filter out these materials, they may stick to the paper, tank walls, rollers, and lines, and can damage the paper. It is also important to replace solution filters periodically so that a blocked filter does not reduce the solution flow. Use the filters designed for the processor and recommended in the printer/processor manual.

DRYING

The drying temperature may need to be adjusted depending on the atmospheric conditions in the minilab. You can save energy costs by avoiding overheating. Typically, temperatures in the range of 50 to 60 ºC (122 to 140 ºF) have been effective.
