Not covered: PENTAX operation and reprocessing manuals are behind a login, so there are no error codes, leak test details or service intervals. Specifications come from a 2014 PENTAX Europe brochure hosted on a distributor site, where the table extracted poorly, so only clearly aligned values are given. The PENTAX product website could not be read automatically.
