Filling the fixer tanks If the Archive Processor is powered up, shut it off before you
remove the fixer tanks or turn off the water. This reduces the
possibility of water overflowing the water jacket later when you reinsert
the tanks.
NOTE: Use proper precautions when using fixer. Review the MSDS for
the fixer.
1. Pull the gear cover back and lift the fixer tanks out of the
Archive Processor. Each fixer tank is labeled with an F.
2. Fill the fixer tanks with Kodak Prostar Plus Fixer, or equivalent, until
the level reaches the fill line (approximately ¼ gallon or 0.65 liters
per tank).
3. Hold the gear cover back and slowly and carefully lower the fixer
tanks into the fourth and fifth position in the Archive Processor.
NOTE: Make sure that the tanks are fully seated and level with the
fill lines toward the rear of the Archive Processor.

8A-62051May2008
Filling the developer tank If the Archive Processor is powered up, shut it off before you remove
the developer tank or turn off the water. This prevents water from
overflowing the water jacket later when you reinsert the tank.
NOTE: Use proper precautions when using developer. Review the
MSDS for the developer.
1. Pull the gear cover back and lift the developer tank out of the
Archive Processor. The developer tank is labeled with a D.
2. Fill the developer tank with Kodak Prostar Plus Developer, or

Adjusting the inlet water
temperature 1. Turn on the water supply using the thermostatic mixing valve.
2. Turn the power switch to the On position.
3. Insert the thermometer in the thermometer fixed measuring point
sleeve located in the front right corner of the #1 rack.
4. Install the standpipe in the Archive Processor tank after the water
temperature, indicated on the mixing valve, reaches 34.5 to 36.5°C
(94 to 98°F).
Installing the standpipe after the water reaches the proper
temperature at the mixing valve enables the developer solution to
reach operating temperature sooner.
5. Route the tubing from the developer tank through the notch in the
partition.
6. Insert the tubing into the standpipe.
7. Allow the water jacket to fill up.
8. A float switch automatically turns off the water flow when the water
level is just below the top of the standpipe.
9. Close the processing section cover.
10.Allow approximately 25 minutes for the developer temperature to
stabilize before adjusting the temperature control setting.

Adjusting the developer
temperature control The Archive Processor’s developer temperature control is factory set to a value of 88.0 to control the developer temperature at 37.8°C ±0.3°C
(100°F ±0.5°F). The display values and setpoint value are arbitrary
numbers and do not represent the temperature in degrees; they are
values relative to the developer temperature.
Reading the developer temperature
The developer temperature must be read on the dial thermometer.
1. Lift the processing section cover.
2. Locate the dial thermometer in the front right corner of the #1 rack.
3. Read the value on the thermometer.
If the developer temperature thermometer value is not 37.8°C
±0.3°C (100°F ±0.5°F), you must make an adjustment. Adjust the
developer temperature control setpoint value only if necessary.
Refer to the next section, “Changing the developer temperature
control setpoint value.”
4. Close the processing section cover.
Thermometer

12 A-62051May2008
Changing the developer temperature control setpoint value
The developer temperature control is located on the left side of the
control panel.
1. Press and release the PGM button on the developer temperature
control.
The light to the left of the SP (setpoint) illuminates. The control is
now in the setpoint mode.
2. Change the developer temperature:
• Push and release the down arrow to lower the temperature.
• Push and release the up arrow to raise the temperature.
The amount of change to the setpoint is equal to the amount of
change to the developer temperature in degrees Celsius. For
example, increasing the developer temperature setpoint by 1.2 will
increase the developer temperature by approximately 1.2°C
(2.2°F).
To increase or decrease the developer temperature by 1°F,
increase or decrease the developer temperature setpoint by 0.56.
For each degree Fahrenheit (°F) of desired change, multiply by 0.56
and round to the nearest tenth.
For example, if the dial thermometer reads 98.5°F, an increase of
1.5°F is required to obtain 100°F. Multiply 1.5°F by 0.56 and you get
0.84
(1.5 x 0.56 = 0.84). Round 0.84 to the nearest tenth to get 0.8.
Therefore, to increase the developer temperature 1.5°F, you must
increase the developer temperature setpoint by 0.8.
3.Press and release the PGM button on the developer temperature
control to return to display mode.
The green light indicator to the left of the SP is no longer
illuminated. The current temperature is displayed.
The green light indictor illuminates when the temperature is at
the setpoint and flashes when the temperature is above the
setpoint. The light does not illuminate when the temperature
is below the setpoint.
This light can be used to determine when the temperature has
stabilized at the setpoint.
4. Wait 20 minutes between adjustments.
5. Lift up the processing section cover.
6. Read the developer temperature. If the temperature is not 37.8°C
±0.3°C (100°F ±0.5°F), repeat steps 1 through 6 until the
temperature stabilizes at the setpoint.
7. Close the processing section cover.

A-62051 May 2008 13
Checking the dryer
temperature 1. Turn on the drying heater and blower:
• If the water jacket is not full, fill the water jacket and press and
release the Mode switch to the Run position.
• If the water jacket is full, press and release the Mode switch to
the Run position.
2. Check the temperature reading on the dryer control after it stabilizes
(approximately 5 minutes).
If the drying temperature stabilizes (the displayed value stops
climbing) before it reaches the setpoint, the room temperature may
be too low or the specified setpoint is too high for the
Archive Processor to obtain. The green light will be off. (See
Operating Environment in the “Specifications” section.)
The Archive Processor is stabilized at the setpoint when the display
temperature cycles (decreasing, then increasing) and the indicator
light cycles (on, flashing, off).
3. Adjust the dryer temperature control (if necessary) so the dryer
temperature falls within the acceptable temperature range of 38 to
52°C (100 to 125°F).
Under most operating environments, a setting of 48°C (118°F) is
sufficient for proper drying. If the processor is operated in a high
temperature and high humidity environment, a setting as high as
52°C (125°F) may be required.
Adjusting the dryer temperature
1. Press and release the PGM button on the dryer control (located on
the right side of the control panel).
The light to the left of the SP (setpoint) illuminates. The control is
now in the setpoint mode.
2. Change the dryer temperature:
• Push and release the down arrow to lower the temperature.
• Push and release the up arrow to raise the temperature.
3. The amount of change to the setpoint is equal to the amount of
change to the dryer temperature.
For example, increasing the dryer temperature setpoint by 5 will
increase the dryer temperature by 5°C on the Archive Processor
220-240 V or 5°F on the Archive Processor 120 V.
NOTE: The Field Engineer can change the controlreadout to either
Fahrenheit (°F) or Celsius (°C).

14 A-62051May2008
4. Press and release the PGM button on the dryer control to return to
display mode. The light to the left of the SP (setpoint) is no longer
illuminated. The current temperature is displayed.
5. Allow some time for the dryer chamber temperature to stabilize after
each adjustment (approximately 5 minutes).
NOTE: Film must feel dry to the touch. If the dryer temperature is too
high, film could stick to the rollers and cause a film jam. Also, a
temperature setting that is too high can cause the film to stick
together on the reel (bricking).
If the dryer temperature is too low, the film will not dry

Operating the Archive Processor
Attaching film to a
take-up reel As processed film exits the Archive Processor, you must attach it to a
take-up reel. There are different ways to attach film to a take-up reel,
depending on the type of reel you are using. One way is to use a trailer
holder (snubber). Another way is to wrap the film around the center of
the reel. Both ways are described in this section.
NOTE: Kodak no longer supplies this reel with a separate trailer hold.
Kodak supplies only the integral film cinch pin as shown below.
Using a trailer holder 1. Wrap the film counterclockwise around a trailer holder (snubber).
2. Wrap the film around the trailer holder one more time.
3. Insert the trailer holder (snubber) in the core of the take-up reel.
4. Insert the film in the slot of the take-up reel.
