New Solution for EC 27 or EC 28
Caused by FILM Stalling in the PROCESSOR
Purpose
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to communicate that the cause of, and solution for, FILM
stalling in the PROCESSOR has been determined.
Description
The main cause of FILM stalling in the PROCESSOR is the inability of the RUBBER IDLER
ROLLER at the entrance to the PROCESSOR to turn freely as FILM enters the PROCESSOR. This
condition causes the FILM to slip and after some time, the software times out and displays EC 27 or
EC 28.
Note: EC 28 is usually caused by FILM slipping at the entrance to the PROCESSOR. However, the
EC is displayed when the FILM does not exit in the time expected by the software. This is
because if the FILM gets a slow start into the PROCESSOR, the FILM may eventually pass
through the PROCESSOR, but the FILM still does not exit in the time expected by the
software.
Solution
If an IMAGER experiences repetitive EC 27 or EC 28 errors, replace the gray plastic BUSHINGS
that hold the RUBBER IDLER ROLLER in place with a pair of METAL BALL BEARING
BUSHINGS (7E9722). Replace the gray plastic BUSHINGS only at the PROCESSOR entrance.

ProComm Plus COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM To Be Used When Uploading System
Software
Purpose
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to communicate that the Hyperterminal
COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM does not function adequately when used with the newest models
of LAPTOP COMPUTERS.
Description
The inefficiency of the Hyperterminal COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM, when used with the new
higher-speed LAPTOP COMPUTERS, can cause it to take up to four hours to upload new system
software into the Kodak DryView 8300 LASER IMAGER. The Pro Comm Plus
COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM is a more sophisticated program that will allow software
uploads to take no longer than 10-12 minutes. In addition, the ProComm Plus
COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM will provide an estimate of the total time required for a software
upload as well as a progress gauge.
Procedure
The next time you install a software upgrade in a Kodak DryView 8300 LASER IMAGER, follow
the procedure in paragraph 2-9-2 in the SERVICE MANUAL for the Kodak DryView 8300
LASER IMAGER.

Procedure to Reduce Film Errors (EC33)
Purpose
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to communicate that there is a relatively easy way to reduce
the number of film-feed retries and failures that result in EC 33. On your next service call, examine
the Error Log, which can be accessed from the Test Menu (911). If there are EC 33s listed in the log,
perform the procedure below.
Details
Excessive pressure applied to the film by the registration foam, on the left side of the FILM TRAY,
can cause film-feed retries and failures. The easiest way to reduce this pressure is to remove the
middle third of the six-inch foam that holds the film in place.
Procedure
With a ruler and a sharp knife, measure, cut and remove the middle two inches of the registration
foam as shown in the illustration. Be sure to remove only the middle two inches of foam. Clear the
FILM TRAY of all foam debris resulting from the cuts.

GAS SHOCK ABSORBER May Allow TOP COVER to Close
Purpose
The purpose of this service bulletin is to communicate that if the GAS SHOCK ABSORBER becomes weak,
it may allow the TOP COVER to close even if the operator does not want it to close.
Procedure
On the next service call and then during each PM call thereafter, check the operation of the GAS SHOCK
ABSORBER (SP78-8100-0495-8) that is used to keep the TOP COVER open. If it fails to securely hold the
TOP COVER in its full open position, replace it.

Scratch Reduction Tool Available
Purpose
The purpose of this service bulletin is to provide information about a new tool that can be used to reduce
repetitive scratching caused by particles or nicks on the FILM GUIDE SCOOP.
Procedure
To assist in the removal of repetitive scratches caused by particles or nicks on the lower FILM GUIDE
SCOOP order the CROCUS CLOTH KIT 8E2083.
The CROCUS CLOTH is inserted manually onto the SCOOP, in the same manner as a piece of film would
travel on the scoop. It is then rubbed against the entire length of the SCOOP so that it reaches the top edge,
near the CAPSTAN ROLLER.
Once the polishing process is complete, clean the SCOOP thoroughly with an alcohol wipe such as a
TX-1065 to remove any particles that were dislodged by the CROCUS CLOTH.

Clicking Sound Coming From Left Side of IMAGER
Purpose
The purpose of this service bulletin is to communicate what causes, and how to correct the intermittent
clicking sound that may be heard in the left side of the IMAGER.
Cause
The BEARINGS inside the COMPOUND PULLEY are loose causing them to move in and out. The
BEARING ASSEMBLIES are supposed to be glued into the COMPOUND PULLEY so that they can’t be
removed.
Solution
Replace the COMPOUND PULLEY 78-8100-0410-7. Before installing it into the IMAGER, be sure that
both BEARINGS are firmly in place within the COMPOUND PULLEY.

5-9/00 Clicking Sound from Left Side of Imager
Problem:
Intermittent clicking sound from the left side of the imager.
Cause:
The Compound Pulley (78-8100-0410-7), which transfers power from the main drive belt to the Separator
Assembly, is made up of a black plastic pulley housing and two bearings. If one of the bearings starts to
deteriorate, it will cause the pulley to emit an intermittent clicking sound.
Solution:
Replace the bad bearing. The bearings are the same Common Bearing (78-8113-2008-0) used throughout
the imager, and can be replaced individually. If the Pulley Mounting Shaft (78-8100-0614-4) has been
damaged by the bearing, it also can be easily replaced.
6-9/00 Thumping Sound from Left Side of Imager
Problem:
Occasional thumping sound from the left side of the imager.
Cause:
The main drive belt, which connects the main stepper motor to the Separator Assembly and the Processor
Assembly, can skip a tooth from time to time, causing the thumping sound. This skipping of teeth, which
can be caused by a loose belt, results in belt wear. The belt wear is evidenced by a buildup of black
“powder” (belt particles) on the left side frame and base plate. If the problem condition has existed for a
long time, the black powder can build up on the teeth of the Compound (two part) Pulley. This buildup on
the pulley can cause the belt to continue to skip, even after its tension has been adjusted.
Solution:
Tighten the tension of the main drive belt, as necessary, by adjusting the eccentric. Check for powder
buildup on the Compound Pulley, and clean the pulley, as necessary. (The Compound Pulley is black, so
the powder buildup is not easy to see.)

7-9/00 Thin Horizontal Line Across Width of Film
Problem:
A horizontal line appears across the film, about 5-1/2 inches from the top. It may look like image data is
missing in one or two scan lines. The line, which may be intermittent, occurs across the entire width of the
film, traversing both the image and the borders.
Cause:
The operator may have removed a jam and attempted to snap the upper film guide back into place, but only
one side got latched. The line is caused by the film hesitating while it is being imaged, as it enters the
processor assembly.
Solution:
As a phone fix, ask the operator to reseat the upper film guide and ensure that it is snapped into place on
both sides.
