DRYSTAR 5500/5503 REFERENCE MANUAL
7 Tear and remove the plastic tape from around the film pack.
8 Close the input tray.
The Drystar 5500 resumes printing as soon as the tray is closed.
Loading instructions are also available on the input tray cover.
Never load another film format when the input tray is not empty. Intermediate
changing of film formats increases the risk for dust, which can damage the thermal
print head (TPH).
The system performs an automatic calibration when the film format has been
changed.
Never reuse a jammed film. Refer to ‘Clearing of film jams’ on page 19 9.
Only the Drystar 5503 is equipped with a “back side printing” detection
mechanism.. This mechanism is acvtivated only when the software 6.x is installed
and a wrongly inserted film sheet in the input tray is used for printing. In this case
the user receives a warning. The Drystar 5500 does not have this feature.
