    Essilor Kappa Please

    Hi eveyeone, my name is Edward I'm new to this website and very fund of it. Hopefully can make some friends and help out each other.

    I got a question I just open up a Lab and bought a used Essilor Kappa but I'm having sizing issues. Can anyone tell me the steps or guide me of how to fix this problem. I never got the manual with the machine just the tools and calibration tools.

    I would really appreciate the help.

    Welcome aboard Edward,

    As an ophthalmologist I suggest that you don't get your hands dirty mucking around with an edger; that's a task way below your pay grade. An optician should be able to either get the confounded thing up and running or give you the bad news that you did, indeed, make a bad mistake.

    Along the bottom of the screen if you count from left to right buttons 5 and 9 pushed together will take you into the menu, under the menu you should see a icon that looks like the calibration tool, ,from there it should be self explanatory to calibrate as the machine will walk you through the calibration. Good luck it's been years since I've been on one and the older models are disco'd so not really very many people that can help you with it. I'm sure a manual exists somewhere, maybe even a user here.

    I will scan the pages from the manual tomorrow. I think I still have it.. .

    For what its worth.. I have a rebuilt Kappa, that I was able to purchase from much less than one of the newer gen edgers. Its still a great machine, and I am definitely making money with it. I may not be able to do drill mounts with it, or a good wrap, but for my bread and butter, it works well.
