Possible problems, causes

An image blurred. out of focus

Most likely cause is:

·Selecting a slide that is not in sharp focus. Use a properIy focused image.

A black or blank print Most likely causes are:

·Forgetting to press the START button to expose the film.

·Forgetting to move the VIEW-OFF-PRINT switch to PRINT before pressing the START button to expose the film. (No exposure will have been made.)

·Leaving the dark slide/viewing panel inserted in the film holder while attempting to make an exposure.

A fogged print (light image or no image at all)

Most likely causes are:

·Opening the image-preview door without first inserting the dark slide/viewing panel into the film holder.

·Leaving the image-preview door open when pressing START to expose the film.

·Using the wrong film-type-selector-switch setting.

·Removing unused film from the film holder without reinserting the black safety cover; then reloading it into the film holder.

A print either too light or too dark

Most likely causes are:

·Using a slide that is overexposed or underexposed. The Daylab 35 cannot enhance an improperly exposed original image.

·Overexposing or underexposing the film. If the print is overexposed, decrease exposure with the exposure adjustment dial by-1 or more, depending on the severity of the overexposure. If underexposed, increase exposure with the exposure-adjustment dial by +1 or more, depending on the severity of the underexposure.

An image printed backwards

The slide is oriented incorrectly on the slide carrier. Be sure that the image projected on the dark slide/viewing panel appears as a mirror image of what you want for your final print.

Repeated white spots (19)

Marks like these result from dirt on the steel rollers of the film holder. Inspect the rollers each time you load film, and clean them whenever necessary.
