A couple of months ago I bought a AGFA-GEVAERT Rapidoprint LD3 to use when I'm making color prints.
It seems to work fine when, I just don't know how to work it.
Is there anyone here who's got some experience in this machine that can help me out or kwow where I can find a manual for it.

Have you tried turning it on and feeding paper through it? What do you mean by "seems to work?"

The Rapidoprint process is a proprietory process intended for b&w papers containing already a developer. At a bath temp. of 22°C the processor feeds the paper through an alkaline activator, then through a fixer at a fixed speed. Other models had succceding washing baths installed.

Employing such a processor for current colour papers would take some modifications I assume...

Color works at room temperature (68f and above) with a 2 minute development time and a 4 minute blix. You might be better off with trays unless you prefer the hands off approach.
