1.6 Safety Notes and Rules
1.6.1 General
A principle condition for safe handling and correct operation of the Minilab is the
understanding of safety notes and safety rules. This manual includes the important
information for safe operation of the equipment. The Operation Instructions, especially the
safety notes must be observed by all persons working on the Minilab.
Furthermore all rules and regulations regarding the prevention of accidents at the
operation site must be followed.
The minilabs are available with the following laser types:
Machines with gas laser:
d-lab.2 Type 8060/260
d-lab.2plus Type 8060/261
Machines with solid state laser:
d-lab.2 select Type 8060/803 and Type 8060/804

d-lab.2plus select Type 8060/813 and Type 8060/814
d-lab.2plus basic Type 8060/271 and Type 8060/273
d-lab.2plus (70mm) Type 8060/158 + 8060/255
netlab.2plus basic Type 8060/505
In order to prevent damage caused by the laser beam, the latter is encapsulated in the
machine so that the whole machine can be classified as Laser Class 1 Product.
The laser beam cannot hit the operator when the Minilab is operated under normal
conditions, not even when the machine doors are open.
Structure of the laser classification within the machine:
Complete machine: Laser Class 1
Argon laser or solid state laser respectively: Laser Class 2
Color laser recorder: Laser Class 2
Print Engine, PE (d-lab.2) or
Print Machine, PM (d-lab.2plus, netlab.2plus)
respectively: Laser Class 2
The above-mentioned components have labels attached (see
Machine Labels
WARNING!
Never remove or open covers on the machine as this may be dangerous.
A laser beam of class 2 may be accessible after the removal of covers.

d-lab.2, d-lab.2plus, netlab.2plus: Operation Introduction
1.6.2 In Operation
1
Do not operate the machine without the covers and panels. Persons who open or remove
covers expose themselves to dangerous voltages or run other risks.
Do not cover or block the venting openings in the housing: this may result in overheating
of individual components.
No objects or liquids should get into the machine through the venting openings: this may
result in fire or electric shocks.
Do not squeeze the power cable, and install it in such a way that no one can step on the
cable.
Avoid excessive generation of dust as this may damage the internal components.
1.6.3 Handling of Chemicals
CAUTION!
In the working area of the machine there are some slightly poisonous, irritating
and caustic substances. Observe the following rules:
The owner (employer)
– has to elaborate operation instructions for the handling of dangerous substances, and
− provides for the instruction of his staff at least once a year;
– ensures sufficient ventilation: The air in industrial workrooms should be exchanged at
least eight to ten times per hour.
All photographic developers contain substances, which may irritate the skin, the mucous
membrane and the eyes, and which may cause allergic skin reactions affecting very
sensitive persons. For this reason, avoid long or repeated skin contact, especially with
developer solutions.
For all jobs where photographic processing solutions may splash, e.g. preparing and
pouring chemical solutions, cleaning processing racks:
− Wear protective gloves and change them every day, if possible; rinse all solutions that
get on your skin with plenty of fresh water.
– Wear an apron / protection clothes and clean them after use.
− Wear protection goggles: If in spite of this, splashes do get into your eyes, wash them
immediately with plenty of water, pulling apart the eyelids. Then consult an oculist!
Store chemicals and mixed processing solutions in a safe place.
Collect leaking chemicals immediately and dispose of these chemicals. The above
regulations must be observed.
Mind chemical residues in the boxes (Easy Paper Box).

data to be printed.
The Minilab then activates the following routines:
– Applies only to d-lab.2/2plus
Scanning of the image (prescan and mainscan, for negatives and slides; not required
for digital images)
– Image editing, if requested
– Calculation of the exposure data
– Paper cutting
– Paper transport
– Paper exposure
– Distribution of the paper to the tracks of the Paper Processor
– Paper development
– Paper drying
– Paper stacking in the sorter or on the tray for large print formats

dalbr133
While the film is transported through the negative carrier and into the film takeup, the
prescanner determines the exposure data for each negative of the film (prescan).
After the main computer has calculated the correction data, the negatives are digitized:
The film is pulled out of the film takeup and the negatives are positioned one by one in
the negative carrier and exposed. Three color separations per negative are exposed on the
CCD by means of the color filter wheel (mainscan; approx. 2,000 x 3,000 pixels). A fourth
exposure with infrared light is used for the scratch correction.
The processing of slides is similar with the following differences:
– Mounted slides are individually inserted via slide carrier, reversal film strips are
inserted via the film carrier of the corresponding size negative film (135, 120/220).
– The color filters used for slide scanning are different from the negative filters.
Slides are automatically detected
– in case of mounted slides when the slide carrier is mounted,
– and in case of reversal film strips when the print mode Slide (see
with slide print mode
in Chapter 6) is selected.
Working
In both cases the minilab automatically switches to the slide filters.
Note
The slide carrier for mounted slides and slide filters are available as an option.

The Printer cuts the paper and transports it to the exposure station (print engine or print
machine, 7), there the laser beam exposes the paper, which then continues through the
transport section (transport unit or feeder unit, 6) to the lane or sheet distributor (9). There
the back print is applied.
The lane or sheet distributor (9) distributes the prints on the tracks of the Paper Processor.

G_GG214 (Fig. shows d-lab.2)
After drying, the prints up to a certain size (see below) exit via the print chute (1) into the
sorter (2) where they are sorted by orders and stacked in buckets. Larger prints are put on
the tray for large prints formats (3).
Maximum sizes for deposit in sorter buckets:
10“ Sorter: prints up to 254 mm (10") in length
6“ Sorter: prints up to 152 mm (6") in length
Special cases:
– If an order exceeds the capacity of a bucket (55 prints for sizes up to 13x18 cm (5x7"),
43 prints for sizes bigger than 13x18 cm), the sorter moves on to the next bucket, i.e.
the prints of one order may be in two or more buckets.
– Splices in the paper rolls are cut separately and the respective pieces of paper are
deposited in the print order stack.

Splices in paper rolls
Note
For technical reasons some of the paper rolls come with splices. In compliance with
ISO 1009 the maximum number of splices in a roll length of
– 79 / 91,5 m: 1 splice
– 158 / 183 m: 2 splices
This information applies to Sensatis (Splendix) paper. The relations for other papers are
similar. Only lengths used in the d-lab family are listed here.
To compensate for the paper loss due to splices 30 cm of paper are added per splice. In
AGFACOLOR paper rolls the splices are marked with oblong holes which initiates the
required blank paper transports in the Printer.
2.3.7 Densitometer

2.5 Switching the Machine On and Off
There are several ways to switch on the Minilab:
– automatically via the integrated timer:
The machine switches on automatically at the set time (see
Setting the Timer
in
Chapter 4) (standard method).
– manually via the ON key (if the machine is off and in timer mode)
– manually via the main breaker (if the machine was switched off via the main breaker)
The machine can be switched off:
– manually via End of work > Shutdown; the machine is then in timer mode (standard
method)
– automatically, if no inputs are made within an adjustable time after switching on
(included for incorrect timer settings, e.g. startup on holidays; the automatic switch-off
function is disabled as soon as an input is made after switch-on).
– manually via the main breaker (exception; only in emergencies or if required for
operational reasons; see
Switching the Machine On and OFF with the Main Breaker
in this chapter)
2.5.1 Preparations Prior to Switch-on
– Insert loaded paper magazines.
– Only applies to d-lab.2/2plus

3.1 Safety Information
CAUTION!
Less poisonous, irritating, and caustic substances.
All photographic developers contain substances, which may irritate the skin, the mucous
membrane and the eyes, and which may cause allergic skin reactions affecting very
sensitive persons. For this reason, avoid long or repeated skin contact, especially with
developer solutions.
Whenever you work with chemicals:
– Wear protection gloves und if possible change them daily.
– Wear an apron / protection clothes and clean them after use.
– Wear protection goggles.
– Wash any chemicals which splashed on your skin immediately with fresh water.
– If, in spite of these precautions, splashes do get into your eyes, wash them
immediately with plenty of water, pulling apart the eyelids. Then consult an oculist!
– Observe the safety instructions on the chemical packages.
Store new chemicals in a safe place, the same applies to exhausted chemicals until their
disposal. Mind chemical residues in the boxes (Easy Paper Box).
Observe the regulations for environmental protection (consider the disposal information
on the chemical packages; also see
Chapter 10
).
3
Collect leaking chemicals immediately and dispose of these chemicals. The above
regulations must be observed.
Remove chemical splashes on the covers of the Minilab immediately (they may cause
stains).

3.2 Chemical Sets
The minilabs d-lab.2, d-lab.2plus, and netlab.2plus work with the following two chemical
kits:
– Chemicals for first or new mixing of chemical processing solutions: MSC/d-lab
chemicals
– Color Developer (CD)
– Bleach-fix (BX)
– Stabilizer (SB)
The MSC/d-lab chemicals are delivered as concentrated solutions and must be mixed
first (diluted) by the operators. The tanks for these processing solutions (machine
tanks) are located in the Paper Processor below the top cover of the tank section.
– Replenisher chemicals: They are used to replenish automatically the above mentioned
chemicals during production.
The replenisher chemicals are offered in the d-lab.2 Easy Paper Box. The box is inserted
in the machine and the mixing process then starts automatically.
Two types of the d-lab.2 Easy Paper Box are available (see below).
The MSC/d-lab processing solutions in the machine must be changed
– after longer down periods of the machine (several weeks and longer);
– in case of production problems, which are the result of chemical problems, e.g.
contamination of the processing solutions.
The replenisher chemicals must be replaced when they have been used up. One
preparation is sufficient for about 100 m
corresponds to approx. 65 prints, size 10x15 (4x6”)).
