Overview

Print Sequence

When the Imager receives a print request, it determines the requested film

size and type and then it selects the appropriate film tray.

Each time the Imager receives a print request, the following print sequence

occurs:

1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the

tray and feed the film into the transport rollers.

2. The transport rollers move the film up into the registration transport

area, where film registration takes place.

3. As the film moves through the exposure transport, the optics module

writes the image onto the film, then moves the film into the film

processor.

4. As the film passes over the processor drum, the heat generated by the

drum develops the film.

5. The film transport rollers move the exposed film to the exit area.
