User manual POLAROID 35MM AUTO PROCESSOR

[. . . ] If necessary, grasp and turn the large spool so the clear lid is at the top; open the lid (3-E). Unhook the end of the processing pack leader (4), and pull out 1-2 in. To load the processing pack: Insert the processing pack into its compartment (5). The processing pack should snap easily into position; if it does not, remove and reinsert it. [. . . ] Turning the crank in the opposite direction will damage the processor. Turn the crank steadily and briskly, at about three revolutions per second. Keep turning until you no longer hear the clicking of the gear, then continue turning for another 3-4 revolutions, to ensure that the processing leader is fully rewound into its pack. Remove the processing pack; put it back into its original box and discard it immediately. Do not attempt to open the pack, and do not place it on furniture (see CAUTION). Unhook the film leader and remove the film cartridge. The film is ready to be cut and mounted. Follow the instructions provided with your Polaroid Slide Mounter. If you pull the film strip out of the cartridge for inspection, take care that the image side (dull side of the leader) does not brush against the lip on the cartridge. Keep the processor clean: Dirt or particles of dried developer on the pressure plate or metal rollers can cause spots or uneven density on slides. Clean these parts with a soft, lint-free cloth, dampened with water if necessary. Never scrape them with anything metallic, nor with your fingernail. Rotate the rollers as you clean and inspect them. CAUTION: The Polaroid film process uses a caustic jelly which is safely packed inside a sealed container inside the processing pack. If accidentally you should get some of this jelly on your skin, wipe it off immediately. To avoid an alkali burn, wash the area with plenty of water as soon as possible. It is particularly important to keep the jelly away from eyes and mouth. Keep the discarded materials out of the reach of children and animals, and out of contact with clothing and furniture, as discarded materials still contain some jelly. 2 Slide projection Polaroid AutoProcess slides can be viewed or projected in the same manner as 35mm slides made with conventional films. The following are some recommendations to help you get the most out of your slides: For standard projection 1. A glass-beaded screen will produce the brightest image. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for removing dust, smudges, etc. Note: Some lenticular screens may produce objectionable patterns at certain distances with Polachrome (color) slides. Use a modern, light-efficient projector equipped with a fast, flat-field projection lens of a suitable focal length.
