Hello! I just acquired a 2240 paper processor for our lab. It appears to be missing some of the replenishment systems. The tubes are for example, disconnected. The word I got is the PO ran it non-replenished. that's not totally crazy to me since the tanks are roughly 2 gallons for developer.

Is this possible? I'm curious if anyone has used a 2240 before. There is no manual aside from a technical service manual online. It has two dials, one appears to do temperature, and the other is just numbers 1-12 (take that, Spinal tap). Could the numbering system be speed related? I believe at 35C it'll do a print in the developer in 15 seconds or so, 70 seconds total dry to dry. If I can slow it down I could possibly use it for RA4...but again, no manual.

It's a remarkable machine, very small footprint compared to our Colex Colette 20".
