User manual POLAROID 35MM AUTO PROCESSOR

[. . . ] If you have pulled out too much leader, causing it to buckle (7), you should rewind the excess as follows: Push the release switch (7-G) in the direction shown by the arrow. Hold it in this position, and turn the crank in a clockwise direction until the leader lies flat. If the film leader has been rewound into the cartridge, use the film leader extractor to pull it out. Orient the extractor and film cartridge as shown (8), and insert the extractor up to the dotted line. [. . . ] Turn the processing crank in a clockwise direction (15), as indicated by the arrows on the crank. 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). 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. 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. 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. If Polaroid AutoProcess slides are to be projected to auditorium-size (larger than 10 ft. , for example), a xenon-bulb projection system should be used. Slides also can be viewed in rear-screen projectors, in situations where room-darkening is not practical.
