Safety Precautions
Legal Notice
The SRP 30 Laser Printer is designed for operation in conformance with all local
safety regulations.
Follow all safety regulations, warnings, and instructions on m achin e labels. Failure to
observe these regulations may result in personal injury or damage to the equipment
and working area.
The manufacturer and service provider will not assume any responsibility for
accidents and damage resulting from incorrect operation.
General Precautions
• Never modify or rewire electrical circuits.
• Do not circumvent or disable the integrated safety devices.
• Do not modify preset values of safety components.
• Replace fuses only with the same type of fuse (amp value, switch-off
characteristics).
When Operating the Equipment
WARNING: Do not operate the equipment without the covers and panels.
Persons who open or remove covers expose themselves to
dangerous voltages and other risks of injury.
• Do not cover or block the vent openings in the housing. Doing so may lead to
overheating of components.
• Do not allow objects or liquids to enter the equipment through the vent openings.
Doing so may cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not allow the power cable to be squeezed or crimped. Install the power cable so
that it will not cause someone to step on or trip over it.
• Avoid excessive generation of dust. Doing so may damage the components in the
machine.
When Disposing of the Equipment
The SRP 30 Laser Printer contains a small amount of lead in circuit boards and
mercury in the backlight of the LCD monitor. Disposal of these materials may be
regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information,
please contact your local authorities, or in the USA, go to the Electronics Industry
Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org
.

Regulatory and Safety Information
Handling of Processing Chemicals
Disposal of Chemicals and Containers
Effluent Management
IMPORTANT:
If your facility will use on-site waste management procedures (for exam ple, silver
recovery units) for silver-bearing effluents, contact the municipal sanitary sewer
authorities for the discharge requirements and permit application procedures, as
applicable.
If you will manage silver-bearing effluents off-site, contact your local solid waste or
hazardous waste authorities to obtain regulatory and permit guidance.
Because it is customary practice to discharge the non-silver bearing effluents to the
sanitary sewer system, contact the sewer authorities about proper treatment at your
local municipal treatment facility.
Chemical Concentrates
Certain concentrates may be considered hazardous waste and require speci al
attention. If you must dispose of chemical concentrates as waste material, contact
your local solid waste or hazardous waste authorities to obtain disposal information.
Chemical Filters
When you clean the chemical filters for the silver-bearing working solution s, collect
the rinse water and direct it to a silver recovery unit for treatment or colle ct it for
treatment at an off-site facility.
Regulations and requirements regarding the proper disposal of
photographic processing effluents vary by region and by locality.
Container Recycling and Disposal
IMPORTANT:
In most regions, it should be possible to participate in your local community recycli ng
program. Check with the program authorities to determine if the packaging materials
are eligible for local recycling. If they are eligible, disassemble the package and place
the bottles and corrugated material in your recycling bin. Follow all material
preparation instructions from the recycler. If local recycling is not an option, dispose
of the empty bottles and the package with your normal solid waste.

Overview
Functional Procedure
The SRP 30 Laser Printer performs the following functions to process print orders.
• Prescans and scans the image
• Cuts the paper
• Transports the paper
• Edits the image, if necessary
• Exposes the image
• Distributes the paper to the appropriate lane to the processor
• Processes the image
• Deposits the prints in the sorter
These steps are described in the next section, Film Advance and Paper Transport.
Film Advance and Paper Transport
Scanner
1 Lamp
2 Exposure filter
3 Mirror box
4 Film advance
5 Lens
6 CCD area
After the paper size is selected, the film is fed into the film mask through the film
feeder. While the film is transported through the film mask and into the film take-up, a
prescan determines the exposure data for each frame of the film.
After the main computer calculates the correction data, the frames are digitized. The
film is removed from the film take-up and the frames are positioned and exposed one
by one in the film mask. Three color density extracts are exposed on the CCD of
each frame by means of the color filter wheel (scan, approximately 2000 x 3000
pixels).
For slides, the prescan is also performed by means of the CCD chip.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer 2-7
Operator’s Guide
Main Computer
The main computer—by way of the image-processing card—processes the digitized
image data, the prescan data, and your correction and image editing data. The
computer converts the data to an exposable image and sends it to the printer.
Printer
The printer transports the cut paper (1) to the print engine (2), exposes the paper to
the laser beam, and advances it through the transport unit (3) up to the lane
distributor (4). The back print (5) is applied in the lane distributor.
The lane distributor transports the print to the paper processor.
2-8 KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer
Overview
Paper Processor
The exposed paper advances through the processing solutions (1), whi ch include the
developer, bleach-fix, and stabilizer. The paper then advances through the dryer (2).
Sorter
After drying, the prints exit from the print chute (1) into the sorter (2) where they are
sorted by orders and stacked in trays.
• If a print order exceeds the capacity of one tray (a maximum of 43 prints), the
sorter automatically switches to the next tray without terminating the print order.
• Splices in the paper rolls are cut separately and the respective pieces of paper are
deposited in the print order stack.
• Large prints are deposited on the large print deposit tray (3).

Mixing the Tank Solutions
The instructions assume that you are mixing the fresh-tank solutions directly in the
processor tank.
WARNING: Use cold water when you mix solutions to prevent you from
unnecessary exposure to fumes that can be released at higher
temperatures.
Handle all chemicals carefully. When you mix solutions, wear
goggles or a face shield, a protective rubber apron, and
protective gloves made with either neoprene or nitrile rubber.
Clean protective clothing after use to remove any chemical
residue that can cause contamination.
For more information about potential health hazards and safe
handling of specific Kodak chemicals, see the label and the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemical. Consult the
MSDS for regional contact information.
MSDS copies are available at the Kodak Web site
http://www.kodak.com/US/en/corp/hse/prodSearchMSDS.jhtml
IMPORTANT: To make sure that no chemicals splash on the equipment, fasten the
plastic covers from the accessory pack on the equipment.
Open two KODAK EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 75 cartons and remove the
four bottles from each carton.
When you remove the cap of a bottle, the label printed on the seal identifies the bottle
as either the developer bottle (CD), one of the two bleach-fix bottles (BX-A or BX-B),
or the stabilizer bottle (SB).
You need:
• Two bottles of each part to make up the fresh-tank solutions
• A solution measuring device, such as a graduated cylinder that can accurately
measure volumes up to 900 mL
• The ability to measure up to 10 L of water
For the developer you need KODAK EKTACOLOR RA Developer Starter. The Kodak
catalog numbers are:

Stabilizer
1. Add 10.3 L of water to the first tank.
2. Add one-half the contents (approximately 72 mL) of one bottle of stabilizer
concentrate (labeled SB).
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each of the three remaining stabilizer tanks.
The total volume for each tank is 11 L.
Bleach-Fix
You can mix the working bleach-fix tank directly from the two-part concentrates. Use
two EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 75 units to supply the two bottles of each of
the two concentrate solutions.
CAUTION:
1. Add 12.7 L of water to the tank.
2. Add the entire contents of two bottles of bleach-fix concentrate, Part A
(labeled BX-A).
3. Add the entire contents of two bottles of bleach-fix concentrate, Part B
(labeled BX-B).
The total volume in the tank is 18.0 L.
Developer
IMPORTANT:
1. Add 15.9 L of water to the tank.
2. Slowly add the entire contents of two bottles of developer concentrate
(labeled CD).
3. Add 900 mL of EKTACOLOR RA Developer Starter, Catalog No. 102 6681.
The total volume in the tank is 18.5 L.
Avoid contamination of the developer with bleach-fix.
To obtain good performance, take special care in mixing the
developer tank.
Inserting the Chemical Filters
1. Take the chemical filters out of the accessory pack.
2. Rinse the filters in water to remove loose fibers and attach the filters to the
holders.
3. Put them in the appropriate tanks corresponding to the colored stickers. You may
need to turn the filter rods slightly so that the filters sit correctly.

Chemicals
Installing the Racks and Bringing the Tank Solutions to
Temperature
When you fill the tanks with the new mixes, they appear only partially filled. When
you reinstall the racks in the tanks, the racks displace more solution volume to fill the
tanks.
1. Install each rack by slowly lowering it into the tank; the rack displaces additional
volume to fill the tank and partially mix the solution.
2. When you have reinstalled all the racks, verify that all tanks are filled with
solution.
3. Restore power to the equipment.
4. Start the recirculation pumps to complete the mixing of the solutions.
5. Let the processor reach operating temperature.
Tank Temperature °C
Developer 40.0 +/- 0.3
Bleach-Fix 38 +/- 2
Stabilizer 37 +/- 3
Preparing Replenisher
1. Fill 7 L (1.8 gal) of water in the ASTOR tank (1).
2. Fill the water tank until the upper one of the two float sensors is activated or the
overflow indicator sticks out of the tank.
3. Prior to the first paper transport, use water to wet the foam rollers of the
squeegee unit (2). Otherwise the wet paper could stick to the dry rollers.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer 3-7
Operator’s Guide
4. Put the EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge in the docking station with the sticker
facing up.
The preparation of the replenishers starts as soon as the docking station is
closed. During this procedure, the door is locked mechanically and the LED on
the left side of the docking station illuminates steadily.
IMPORTANT: To reduce oxidation, a cartridge should always be in the docking
station. After the LED is turned off, the cartridge can be removed and
replaced by a full one. Alternatively, an empty cartridge can remain
in the docking station until you get a message to insert a new
cartridge.
The replenishers are mixed automatically by the integrated electrically driven mixers.
