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

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  
FILTRATION  
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  
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  
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.  
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.

SILVER RECOVERY  
Publications on silver management that include  
recommendations and descriptions of silver-recovery  
options are available in the Silver Management section  
of the Kodak Environmental Services Publication Center  
at www.kodak.com/go/KES .  
Example: Loading dock of FUJI FRONTIER Processor  
DRAINING AND MIXING FRESH  
REPLENISHERS  
If you need to drain and mix fresh replenisher solutions,  
follow this procedure:  
1. Empty the remaining replenisher solutions by using  
the drain valves at the bottom of the machine  
2. After draining is complete, close the drain valves.  
Note for FUJI FRONTIERS only:  
It is necessary to add water to the developer  
replenisher tank. Add this instruction to those above:  
2A. Pour 500 mL of water into the developer (the slot  
farthest to the left) in the cartridge-loading section.  
3. Insert a full cartridge into the slot and make  
replenishers by following the standard procedure  
given for the processor model used.  
Pour 500 mL of water into this  
position when making replenisher  
after completely draining replenisher  
tanks.  
Note: If you forget to add the water and receive an error  
message (E-2675) when you prepare fresh replenisher, you  
can add the water after the replenisher has been mixed. The  
water addition is only necessary when the replenisher  
tank has been drained; it is not required for routine  
mixes with the cartridge.

USING KODAK CONTROL STRIPS /  
PROCESS RA-4 / EXTENDED LENGTH IN  
THE FUJI FRONTIER DIGITAL MINILAB  
KODAK Control Strips, Process RA-4 / Extended  
Length, CAT No.130 4690, are designed for use in all  
Control Strip Holders for FUJI FRONTIER and NORITSU  
3501F and 3701F Digital Minilabs. No shim is required  
when using these extended length strips. If you have  
installed a shim in your control strip magazine for using  
the standard length KODAK Control Strips, Process  
RA-4,, please remove it before using the strips. Use  
these strips for the most accurate process monitoring  
when you process KODAK EKTACOLOR ROYAL and  
KODAK EKTACOLOR EDGE Papers.  
For calculating the aims for your control strip code, read  
the Status A Red, Green, and Blue densities of the  
reference strip, and then apply the correction factors.  
For the HD-LD parameter, subtract the corrected LD  
from the corrected HD density readings. You will find  
three sets of correction factors on the reference envelop  
for you to use in calculating the aims. Make sure you  
select the correct PC 111 correction factors for the  
specific FUJI FRONTIER or NORITSU “F” Model Digital  
Minilabs you are using:  
.
.
.
For FRONTIER Models 330, 350. 355, 370, 375, and  
390, using Process CP-48S, use the correction  
factors labeled: EKTACOLOR PC11148S  
For FRONTIER Model 340, and NORITSU models  
3701/02/03/04F using Process CP-49E, use the  
correction factors labeled: EKTACOLOR PC11149E  
For the FRONTIER Models 550, 570, or NORITSU  
Model 3501/02F and 3705F, using Process CP-49E,  
use the correction factors labeled:

Corrective Action and Prescriptions  
USING THE “VISUAL PROCESS CONTROL  
GUIDE” TO TROUBLESHOOT PROCESS  
RA-4 FUJI FRONTIER  
.
The Yellow Patch monitors the performance of the  
bleach-fix solution for retained silver. A bleach-fix  
solution that is underreplenished or diluted will not  
efficiently remove silver in the paper, leaving  
retained silver in higher density areas. The yellow  
patch is not plotted on a control chart; it is meant to  
be a visual reference only. Compare the yellow  
patch on a processed control strip with the yellow  
patch on the reference strip. If the processed  
control strip yellow patch appears brown or less  
saturated in color, or “muddy” compared to the  
reference, you may have retained silver. You can  
confirm retained silver by the following test:  
1. Take your processed control strip and process it  
again through your processor in order to re-  
bleach-fix the control strip.  
If your Process RA-4 control chart indicates an out-of-  
control position, you may use the “Visual Process  
Control Guide” to investigate potential causes and apply  
corrective action.  
First check for operational errors:  
.
Make sure the control-strip code matches the  
reference-strip code.  
.
.
Calibrate the densitometer.  
Recheck the control-strip aims and verify the  
correction factors.  
.
Make sure you have used the right set of correction  
factors for calculating your aims, for the process  
cycle or model of processor used, see page 7..  
Verify the problem by processing a second control  
strip.  
Determine if any recent processor maintenance  
could have caused a problem.  
Use an accurate thermometer to verify that the  
developer and other solution temperatures are  
correct.  
2. Compare the yellow on the re-processed control  
strip to the yellow patch on the reference strip. If  
re-bleach-fixing has improved the yellow patch on  
the re-processed strip, then you have confirmed a  
retained silver problem.  
Prescriptions:  
— Replace bleach-fix tank with fresh bleach-fix  
tank solution.  
.
.
.
— Also, recalibrate the replenishment pumps for  
the bleach (P2-RA) and fix (P2-RB) replenisher  
solutions.  
Match your plots to the “Visual Process Control  
Guide” to identify your problem:  
.
Match your control plots to the examples given on  
the “Visual Process Control Guide.” Compare only  
one plot parameter at a time (BP, HD-LD, LD, D-  
min). Note that the patterns of the red, green, and  
blue plot deviations can be an indicator of different  
problems.  
.
.
Write down the problems indicated by each  
parameter for the plots that are out of control.  
Consider that you may have more than one problem  
occurring at the same time.  
Consider each potential cause of the out-of-control  
condition, and verify the operational conditions of  
the processor.  
When you have determined the most likely cause(s) of  
the out-of-control condition, take corrective action to  
eliminate the symptom of the problem.

Using the KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 111 with Digital Minilabs, CP-48S/CP-49E CIS-229E  
 
.
The Black Patch monitors the performance of the  
developer for activity and contamination. There is  
no upper control limit for Black Patch. If the Black  
Patch plots are low, then it could be an indication of  
low developer activity due to underreplenishment  
or severe oxidation. If the blue Black Patch is very  
low and separated from the red and green plots, it  
could be a sign of developer contamination. See  
prescriptions listed under the LD parameter.  
Prescriptions:  
— For high LD plots:  
Overreplenishment: Remove a volume of  
developer solution equal to 10% of the total  
tank volume and replace with water. Repeat  
until it is in control.  
— For low LD plots:  
Underreplenishment: Remove a volume of  
developer tank solution equal to one third of  
the tank volume and replace with fresh  
developer tank that is mixed according to the  
“Make 1 litre” component ratios in Table 1a.  
.
The HD-LD (Contrast) is usually a very steady plot  
parameter that is unresponsive to most process  
problems. However, it can help monitor developer  
activity problems due to agitation or oxidation. If  
developer tank solution is underagitated, the plots  
will be low. If developer tank solution is slightly  
oxidized, the plots will be high. If the developer  
becomes extremely oxidized, the plots will be low. If  
the solution is extremely out of control by more  
than 0.18density units over or under aim, drain and  
replace the developer tank solution. If the plots are  
less than 0.18 density units over or under aim, a  
prescription can be risked  
.
D-min (Stain) monitors the whiteness of the  
unexposed paper. An increase in the D-min plot can  
indicate oxidation or contamination problems in the  
developer, or a problem in the super rinse when the  
solution is dirty or has biological growth residue.  
Prescriptions:  
— For high D-min on paper caused by oxidized or  
contaminated developer, replace the developer  
tank solution with fresh developer tank solution  
mixed according to the component ratios in  
Table 1a.  
— For a high D-min on the paper caused by dirty  
stabilizer or biological growth in the stabilizer  
tanks and racks, clean the stabilizer tanks and  
replace the solution with water and KODAK  
Rinse Tablets.  
Prescriptions:  
Underagitation: call service representative to  
fix agitation pump on processor.  
Oxidation: check for air bubbles in developer  
tank; call service technician if seen.  
.
The LD (Speed) monitors the developer activity.  
Speed is the primary indicator of developer time,  
temperature, and especially developer  
replenishment rate. For time that is too long,  
temperature too high, or overreplenishment, the LD  
plots will be high. For time too short, temperature  
too low, or underreplenishment, the LD plots will be  
low. Check the temperature of the developer; adjust  
as necessary to bring back into specification. If the  
plots are extremely out of control, by more than  
0.18 density units over or under aim, drain and  
replace the developer. If the plots are less than 0.18  
density units from aim, a prescription can be risked.  
Note: If the red LD is very high and/or the green LD is  
very low and they are split from the blue LD, it may be  
caused by developer contaminated with bleach-fix. In  
this case, the developer must be drained and replaced  
with fresh developer tank solution. Make sure the tank  
is cleaned and thoroughly flushed with water to  
remove all contaminated developer from the tank and  
circulation system.
