1.1 Safety
1.1.1 Basic Operating Precautions

• When accessing the machine interior for inspection or servicing, shut down the system by doing
the post-operational checks, place the built-in circuit breaker in the OFF (K) position, and turn
OFF the main power circuit breaker.
Inspecting or servicing the inside of the machine with the main power circuit breaker left ON may
expose personnel to hazardous conditions and damage the machine.
• If the machine emits smoke, generates an abnormal sound or its external surface becomes
unduly hot, immediately stop using it, set the power switch to STANDBY, place the built-in circuit
breaker in the OFF (K) position, turn OFF the main power circuit breaker, and contact your local
dealer.
z Do not modify the machine without permission from the manufacturer

because safety assurance features and other essential functions may be
impaired. If the machine needs to be modified, contact your local dealer.
x Never remove covers or other parts that are screwed down to avoid the risk
of electric shock or injury to personnel. If any parts need to be unscrewed,
contact your local dealer.
• Use only Fujifilm-recommended replacement parts.
IMPORTANT
If parts other than those recommended by Fujifilm are used, the warranty
will be voided.
Do not operate the machine with cover open/close sensors forced ON while
the covers are open. These sensors serve as safety switches. If they are
forced ON, the system mistakenly assumes that the open covers are
“closed” making the machine operative, and this may expose personnel to
hazardous conditions and damage the machine.
• Never position objects in close proximity to processing or dryer section
cover vents. Doing so will impair machine ventilation thereby causing
temperature control problems.
1.1.2 Caution regarding Electric Shock
Utmost care should be taken as the machine is connected to 200/210/220/

230/240V AC power sources. Avoid the possibility of electric shock by
noting the following:
• Never operate the machine if it is wet.
• Never operate the machine if the surrounding floor is wet.
• Ensure the electrical earth connection is permanently made.
• Ensure that all cables are undamaged and correctly connected.

1.4 Room Conditions
• Temperature: 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F)

Ambient room temperatures above 30°C (86°F) or below 15°C (59°F) will destabilize processing 1
and replenisher solution temperatures to the detriment of processing performance. Pay special

attention to room temperatures in wintertime and maintain solution temperatures within designated
ranges.
• Relative Humidity: 30% to 70%

Relative humidities above 70% will result in inadequate printer paper transport or improper paper
drying, producing abnormal prints. Maintain the ambient room relative humidity within the range of
30% to 70% RH at all times.
• Ventilation
Provide a vent close to the processor section and maintain adequate ventilation.
• Illumination: 500 lux or lower

Maintain room illumination levels so that no more than 500 lux falls on the printer upper surface.
Should the equipment main body or paper magazine be exposed to direct outside light or strong
reflected light, use curtains or blinds to shield the equipment from such extraneous light.
REFERENCE:
Two 40W fluorescent lamps provide 500 lux of illumination at a distance of 1 meter (3.3 ft.)

● Control Strip Storage and Handling Precautions
REFERENCE:
A control strip is used for checking the performance of the processing solutions. The package
contents consist of exposed but unprocessed paper strips, one reference strip (processed and used
as a density reference), and a correction factor chart for the reference strip. Process a control strip
and measure the reflection densities (R,G,B) with a densitometer to verify the processing solution 3
performance.
BEFORE PRINTING
IMPORTANT
• Place the control strips inside a plastic bag and store them in a freezer (-10°C/14°F or below).
Storage at room temperatures will lead to deterioration in performance.
• Moisture condensation occurs if the control strips are processed immediately after they have
been taken out of freezer. This may give rise to uneven development. Let the control strips sit for
about one hour to bring it to room temperature.
• Do not open the folded end of the inner bag under any light. If you do, the control strips may
become fogged and rendered useless.
3.2.4 Upkeep Printing
