English 8 Type 55P/N film only: Use your left thumb to hold down the negative. With your right hand, quickly peel away the print and thin paper mask (15). Pull hard, and the print and mask will separate completely from the negtive section and cap. Remove the mask from the print and discard the mask. Complete instructions on removing the negative from the envelope and preparing it for enlargement are in the film instructions. To remove instant film for later processing After exposure, reinsert the envelope; push it in very firmly to ensure that it engages the metal cap at the end of the negative. Do not move the control arm to P. Leave it at L. Remove the film holder from the camera. Depress the film release lever R (16-l). Keep the lever depressed throughout the 3 following procedure. 3 Hold the film holder in one hand with the opening in the film plane facing you. With the thumb of the other hand, gently push the film 4 envelope out as shown (17) until the metal cap is visible. Then grasp the end of the envelope and pull it out. To process the film, carefully reinsert the envelope into the film holder as when first loading, move the control arm to P, and 5 process it as described above. Cleaning the rollers Dirt on the two steel processing rollers can cause repeated spots on the print and poor colors. Check regularly to see that the rollers are clean and free of foreign matter. 1 Move the control arm to L. 2 Grip the hinged roller cover as shown (18) and pull upward to open the cover. Disengage the hooks (19-m) at the ends of the rollers. The top roller will swing up to permit easy cleaning of the entire assembly (20). 4 Clean the rollers with a soft, lint-free cloth, dampened with water if necessary. Rotate the rollers as you clean and inspect them. Also clean the rubber light seal roller. Never scrape the rollers with anything metallic, nor with your fingernail. 5 Replace the top roller, engage the hooks, then snap the cover closed.
