Yu,

The tracing paper is probably a dodging mask. You could place different
shapes of tissue in the different shelves to alter the amount of light
reaching different parts of the negative. Finding the right combination
would be laborious, but after than an unlimited number of identically dodged
prints can be run off.

You could meter the light output of the unit to see whether it's in enlarger
range or the much brighter light required for a paper like Azo. That would
indicate lights much stronger than 10 watts, but it seems likely the printer
would have been intended for Azo or similar contactp-speed papers.---Carl
