1.2 Circuit Board Names and Functions of Printer Components


- Printer section
FMA20 board : This is a frame memory access board. It exchanges
IEEE-1394-compliant image signals and control signals with the host
equipment (SP or LPC). It also rotates received images.
FMB20 board : This is a frame memory buffer board. It temporarily stores image
memory print images. One FMB20 board has a memory for 32MB x 3
colors. Up to three boards can be installed.
FMC20 board : This is a frame memory control board. It controls print images (printing
start, image data access, write, LUT processing, etc.).
CTL20 board : This circuit board exercises overall control of the printer. It provides
print control (size, quantity, etc.), printer mechanism control, error
check/control, scanner communication control, and pattern data
creation and control for adjustment/verification. However, it does not
handle print images. It also controls the operation of a weekly timer.
LDD20 board : The Frontier 350/370 basically maintains the laser output constant. The
LDD20 board stabilizes the operation of the exposure section laser by,
for instance, providing temperature control, laser diode (LD) drive
(high-frequency superposition for stable LD operation), drive current
monitoring, and light intensity feedback.
AOM driver, AOM, and laser modulator:
The AOM is an acousto-optic modulator. It applies an ultrasonic wave to
a special optical crystal on which laser light is shed. The beam resulting
from diffraction is then used for printing. The light intensity of the
obtained diffracted beam varies in proportion to the intensity of the
ultrasonic wave application to the AOM. The ultrasonic wave applied to
the AOM is generated by means of oscillation within the AOM driver. Its
intensity varies in proportion to the image data fed from the FMC20
board. Since analog image information is transferred over the
FMC20-AOM-exposure section line for printing purposes, the image
information is easily affected by a poor contact and externally induced
noise. Particularly, grounding is important. If the individual components
are not properly grounded (due, for instance, to grounding wire screw
looseness, lack of toothed lock washers, or corroded component outer
surfaces), pulsating noise is readily induced from various motor drive
circuits in the printer. To avoid such a problem, the external surface of
the AOM driver is specially plated to assure proper grounding.
PDC20 board : This circuit board drives various motors, solenoids, and other parts in
the printer.

2.2 CCD20 Board and Peripheral Drive Circuit Boards


2.2.1 Scanning sequence, pre-scanning, and light intensity control/scanning
1) Pre-scanning is conducted at the standard light intensity. In this instance, one order or one
piece is scanned (one frame is scanned during the use of the MFC). The pre-scanning light
intensity and speed are determined according to the original's size (carrier mask) and
maintained constant. In the pre-scanning sequence, the entire information about the original
film is read.
As regards 135 film, film edges, barcode, and all the image frames except for perforation (the
entire film roll) are read. The necessary information about images, barcode, and the like is
then picked up from the read image information. Therefore, if a film slip or other film
transport error occurs during the pre-scanning sequence, a frame detection failure, barcode
reading failure, or other error occurs. If the detected deviation of a perforation detection
interval is greater than predefined, a transport error occurs.

2) The optimum fine scanning information is determined from the image and print magnification
information about each pre-scanned frame.
When the magnification is low and the original's light intensity is high, the light intensity is
lowered by adjusting the light source aperture. When the magnification is high and the
original's density is high, on the other hand, the light source aperture and storage time are
adjusted for optimum results. The storage time is the period of electrical charge storage in
the CCD light receptor cell and can be varied according to the original and other conditions.
The storage time is therefore varied to adjust the CCD sensitivity. Optimization is achieved
to ensure that the CCD output is neither overshadowed by noise nor saturated.

3) In the pre-scanning sequence, the Frontier 350/370/390 fully opens the light source aperture
(to maximize the light intensity) and adjusts the ND filter between the lens and CCD to
prevent the CCD from becoming saturated.

4) The Frontier 350/370/390 employs a line-sensor-based scanning method. Therefore, a


halogen lamp is used as the light source in order to provide a high light intensity for scanning.
The use of a halogen lamp inevitably invokes a considerable temperature rise of the original
surface. Constant-voltage control is exercised to maintain the light intensity at two
predefined levels for standby and scanning. When the film stops or goes on standby, the
light intensity switches to the lower level for film protection and other purposes.

2.2.2 CCD section image reading and its process overview


The timing signal for CCD20 board image output (R/G/B, analog) is constantly generated after
power ON and continuously forwarded to the CDS20 board together with the image output.
However, the timed interval varies with the stepwise storage time that is determined by the
scanning conditions. For overexposed originals (dark originals) and large-size prints, the storage
time is adjusted (increased) to optimize the resulting output. In the subsequent image processing
section, necessary information is picked up and used for various corrections and imaging.

Since the output from the CCD20 board to the CDS20 board is an analog signal, it is readily
affected by a poor contact. It is already separated by the CCD into three colors (R, G, and B).
Therefore, if an abnormality occurs during a CCD20-to-CDS20 signal transfer, it often affects a
specific color. The three colors can be simultaneously affected mostly by "offset adjustments",
"brightness level abnormalities/improper adjustments", and "scan timing failure". The reset signal
resets the timing generator operation. If this reset signal is improperly timed (due, for instance, to
noise caused by a poor contact or the decrease in the signal level), image abnormalities may
result. An improperly timed reset signal may also cause a dirt detection failure, auto-focusing
failure, or light intensity adjustment failure.

Light intensity and carrier control is exercised by the CTB20 board. This circuit board also
provides film speed control in the fine scanning sequence, changes the light intensity in the
standby/scanning sequence, and controls the lens desk up-down motion (detailed later).

<Descriptions of errors/image abnormalities related to CCD20 board>


(1) X-1186: Occurs when timing signal is not emitted properly and communication with CDS20
fails.
(2) E-1131 (Offset cancellation failed.) Failed to cancel offset: When offset compensation
cannot be performed properly.
(3) Images without gradation, solarized print: Occurs due to abnormal timing or abnormal reset.
(4) W-1128 (Dust adhesion to mirror box or carrier detected during scanner correction .)
E-1132 (Auto focus failed): Failure of light intensity adjustment.

2.3 Main Functions of the CDS20 Board


- The signal from the CCD continuously flows into this circuit board. In synchronism with the CCD
drive signal, it is constantly subjected to high-speed analog-to-digital conversion.
For image information acquisition, the timing signal from the CCD20 board is sampled as
needed. The sampled image information is used for darkness signal subtraction in the darkness
correction circuit and for CCD sensitivity variation correction in the brightness correction circuit.
The brightness/darkness correction values are created during pre-operational checkout or the
like and stored in the RAM (the stored values are lost when the power is turned OFF).

- The data is further subjected to density conversion and various other basic conversions such as
negative/positive and exponential/logarithmic conversions until it is formatted so as to facilitate
image processing.

- Mock data is added before the sampling circuit to verify the results of subsequent sectional
corrections, conversions, and other processes. Therefore, the tester in the image processing
section cannot perform circuit board/circuit functionality checkout until the exit of CCD-CDS20
board A/D conversion is reached.

- After completion of brightness correction, density conversion, and darkness correction, the R, G,
and B image data lines are aligned with each other. The CCD of the Frontier 350/370/390 is
designed to read the three lines (R, G, and B lines). Therefore, the individual color lines in the
read image are displaced from each other. The alignment (delay) circuit is used to align the
individual color lines. The amount of delay varies with the film scanning speed and scan
magnification. The results of alignment are indicated by the CCD data display provided by the
maintenance menu.

2.4 Image Processing Section Overview


Basically, there are three processing flows. Further, the DI system provides two methods.
Therefore, four processing flows are summarized below:
(1) Print system in which film (negative/positive) scanning, print image processing, and image
transfer to printer are sequentially performed.
(2) System in which film scanning and print image processing are performed and the resultant
digital output is transferred out via the PC/DI controller.
(3) Single-scan digitizing (optional) in which image processing operations for (1) and (2) are
performed simultaneously in parallel.
(4) Digital printing system in which digital image data fed from the DI system is printed out.

2.4.1 Image processing by scanner


- This process corresponds to (1) above. In digitizing (Figure 8), the GFM20 and GIP20
perform almost the same processing operations.
- The image fed from the CDS20 board is variously processed by the GFM20, GIP20, and
GLO20 boards and forwarded to the printer.
- The GFM20 board makes various corrections such as key corrections and setup calculation
result corrections.
- Various image processes (sharpness, grain control, gradation control, etc.) peculiar to the
Frontier are mainly performed by the hardware on the GIP20 board. The PC/GMB20
(GMC20) gives the intensities and degrees of various processes as parameters.
- As regards index prints, fine-scanned images are converted by the CDS20 to digital
equivalents and directly entered in the PC for storage purposes. Key corrections are applied
to images stored in the PC. If there are any differences between prints and index prints, they
are attributable to the differences in processing.
- After the image information is variously processed, the GLO20 board subjects it to further
processes (8-bit conversion, APS frontprinting synthesis, 1394 conversion, etc.) as required
for the printer.

2.4.2 DI digital image output process (digitized output/media output)


- The digitized output indicated in Section 2.4-(2) is generated when the dedicated digital output
or dual-scan digitizing mode is used. Image processing is performed using the same print
system as described above. However, the final output destination is not the 1394
interface/printer. The output is finally delivered from the PC to the DI controller via the GIS20
board. Image JPEG compression is performed by the PC.
- For the process indicated in Section 2.4-(3), the dedicated digitizing hardware is added to
enhance the processing capacity because the digitized output capability for the system
described in (2) is low due to PC use for JPEG compression and scanning needs to be
performed separately for printing and digitizing. The image output from the GFM20 is
subjected to parallel processing by the added hardware. JPEG compression and other
processes for digitizing are rapidly performed by the dedicated hardware on the GLC20 board.
The motherboard needs the GMC20.

2.4.3 DI digital image input process (digital print/media print)


- This process is in reverse of digitizing as indicated in Section 2.4-(4). Digital image prints are
read by the PC, forwarded to the GIS20 and GMB20 (GMC20) boards, converted to the 1394
signal equivalents by the GLO20, and transferred to the printer.

The Frontier 350/370 is provided with a function tester (CD-R), which checks the
functionality/performance of the image processing section.
This tester basically deals with processing circuits for images converted to digital equivalents by the
CDS20 board and checks the associated functions including some functions of the GLO20 board
(before 1394 conversion).

(3) GIP20 board memory, register, reset, and other line checks and image data bus test
(4) GLO20 board memory, image bus/control bus, register, and circuit checks. The
communication with the printer is checked by examining the components up to the CTL20
board via the 1394 interface.

(8) CCD20 board offset adjustment function test
Note, however, that this tester may fail to detect troubles caused by a poor contact or other
instability. It is also well to remember that the tester is inoperative if the PC, GIS20 board, or
GMB20 (GMC20) board does not function at all. (In such an instance, an associated error occurs
before the use of the tester due, for instance, to an image abnormality.) Also, note that this function
tester cannot detect illegal calculation parameters and abnormal LUT data.

2.6 CTB20 Board, Light Source/Lens Deck/Carrier Control, and Auto -Focus Algorithm

The CTB20 b oard controls and drives the input section optical mechanism. It also has a control
CPU to exchange control and timing signals between the GMB20 (GMC20) board and RS422 serial
circuit. It uses the control information fed from the GMB20 (GMC20) to provide film scanning
magnification control for the carrier and auto-focus control.

2.6.2 Light source control

- The CTB20 board provides OFF-standby illumination (approx. 20 V)-full illum ination (constant
voltage: approx. 29 V) control. In coordination with the film cooling airflow meter, this circuit
board automatically lowers the lamp light intensity (without regard to the scanning sequence) if
the cooling air flow rate is too low during the full illumination state.
NOTE: If the flow meter becomes abnormal, the lamp unexpectedly goes off and comes on
during scanning.
If the film transport is halted for a period longer than predefined when, for instance, the CPU
goes out of control, the CTB20 board automatically turns OFF the lamp (hard circuit).
- As regards the light source aperture, the aperture table creation menus (433 and 434) of the
maintenance mode are used to create and store a table that defines the relationship between

17

I m a g e P ro c e s s i n g a n d E l e c t r i c a l S y s t e m s

light intensity and diaphragm position. The data in this table is used to control the light source
intensity in accordance with individual original conditions.
- Two types of turret-type balance filters are provided: N type and P type. They provide optimum
control for each original type (negative/RV changeover, etc.). The actually employed position is
N for negative and sepia films or P for reversal and black-and-white films.

2.6.3 Lens deck/scanning (CCD) unit, lens position control, and auto -focus algorithm

- The Frontier 350/370/390 uses a fixed-focus lens to vary the film -to-CCD surface distance and
adjust the projection magnification in accordance with the original size, print magnification, and
other conditions, thereby assuring that the quality of acquired images is optically highest at all
times. The lens cam mechanism moves the lens up and down within the barrel to adjust the
magnification setting, and the scanner section moves up and down to detect contrast for
focusing purposes.
- For focus calibration purposes, the focusing pulse data (the data about motor pulse steps with
reference to the origin is stored to memorize the focusing position), lens temperature, and other
data are always registered before scanner use, using the com bination of pre-scanning optical
magnification and lens aperture for each carrier (mask included). If these data registrations are
not completed, an error occurs when you mount a carrier in position.
- In the pre-scanning sequence, the original is read using the magnification and focus position
registered for the above calibration purpose. W hen such a magnification is used, the entire
image is acquired in accordance with the original size. In the fine scanning sequence, the
combinations indicated in the following table are used:

Carrier Print size AF timing


First print Immediately after pre-scanning (once per order)
135AFC High magnification Immediately after pre-scanning and during fine scanning; immediately
(e.g., 2L or higher) before the specified fram e
First print Immediately after pre-scanning (once per order)
240AFC Immediately after pre-scanning and during fine scanning; immediately
High magnification
before the specified frame
MFC Small size/High magnification Upon a return to the screen center after pre-scanning (each time)

2.6.4 AF operation during fine scanning

- The predicted pulse data is determined by adding the temperature compensation to the
reference focusing pulse data that is determined for focus calibration. On either side of the
determined predicted pulse point, a focusing point search is conducted over a range of about 1
mm for strips/piece film or about 2 mm for slides.
- For focusing point detection purposes, the green CCD output image is read after
brightness/darkness correction, and the lens cam and image pickup section are moved to
search for a peak at which the contrast is maximized. If the image cannot be identified due to
excessive original darkness, an auto-focus error may occur because the S/N ratio is low and
the contrast peak cannot easily be identified (e.g., super-underexposed reversal film). Further,
if the image is excessively bright with the CCD output saturated (e.g., super-overexposed
positive film), detection may not be achieved because two or more peaks are produced by
harmonics generated by image distortion.

18

Image Processing and Electrical Systems

- Even when an AF operation is performed for an excessively low contrast image pattern (e.g.,
sky) on reversal film, an AF error may occur because the focusing point cannot be located. (In
this instance, the problem may be cleared by reversing the front/rear film positioning orientation
for film insertion.)
- Focusing failures occasionally occurred in the market because the optical axis was displaced
and not properly detected. Such an optical axis displacement occurred because the correct
exposure system position was not stored in the machine memory. To correct this problem, use
the optical axis adjustment jig and exercise the optical magnification calibration (43J) and focus
calibration (43K) functions from the maintenance/adjustment menu.
- Further, the image pickup section has a shutter for preventing the light from reaching the CCD
and providing darkness correction and an ND filter for dimming.

2.6.5 Carrier speed control

Necessary values for c arrier speed control are determined according to the fine-scanning original
conditions, printing conditions, and other conditions. Therefore, the pulley and clutch in the
carrier are controlled to obtain the necessary film transport speed. Details are given in the section
on the carrier.

2.7 Dust Detection Algorithm

The dirt detection function is additionally provided by Frontier 350/370 software versions 3.0 and
later.

2.7.1 Dust detection function support by carriers

The dust detection function is supported by the NC135Y and NC240Y. It is not supported by the
MFC10Y.

2.7.2 Dust detection function execution timing

(1) Pre-operational checkout (scanner correction)


Darkness correction → mask check → dust check → brightness correction (negatives only)
(2) Diurnal new carrier installation
Carrier ID check → darkness correction → mask check → dust check → brightness
correction (negatives only)
(3) Diurnal second or subsequent carrier installation
Carrier ID check → darkness correction → mask check → dust check → brightness data
loading
(4) Maintenance screen brightness correction (same as for CCD data display screen brightness
correction)
Darkness correction → mask check → dust check → brightness correction (negatives and
positives)

2.7.3 Detectable d u s t

(1) Lint or like foreign matter positioned over the slit in the mask (minimum detectable width:
0.01 mm or less).
(2) Dust or dirt on the diffusion plate at the bottom of the mask (minimum detectable dirt
diameter: 0.02 mm or less).
(3) Dust or dirt on the diffusion plate lower surface (the back of the carrier).
Note: Fingerprints on the lower surface will not be detected.
(4) Dust on the mirror box upper surface cannot be detected because it is blurred. It will not
appear as streaks on the reproduced image.

2.7.4 Detection method

The CCD output waveform is passed through a high-frequency bandpass filter to check for local
irregularities.

The CCD output lowered by dust is perceivable.


CCD Data Display Screen Check Result (Figure 14)

Data level decrease by dust

The carrier detachment lever is slightly pulled to remove the carrier halfway to check whether the data
level decrease by dust moves. Since the CCD output decrease point is moved, you can conclude that
dust is in the carrier section (Figure 15).

2.7.6 Dust detection display

When dust is detected, the W -1128 warning message ("Dust adhesion to mirror box or carrier
detected during scanner correction. Remove carrier, then clean mirror box and carrier.") appears
during scanner correction.
In this instance, the scanner correction process does not abort. Dust detection invokes a
message display for warning purposes only. W hen you clear the message by pressing the OK
button, the scanning operation continues.
The operator can decide whether or not to remove the carrier.

2.7.7 Reference data creation and display

The reference data is the data that corrects CCD pixel sensitivity variations (this reference data is
used to prevent CCD sensitivity variations from being erroneously detected as dust).
(1) W hile the CCD data display screen is open, mount the reference mirror box only (the carrier
is not needed) to create the reference.
(Thoroughly clean the opal glass surface of the reference mirror box.)
(2) After the data is acquired, mount the regular mirror box and carrier in their positions
(thoroughly clean them) while the CCD data display screen is open. Check the carrier for
dust.
(3) W ith a hair or the like attached to the mask section of the carrier, check the carrier for dust. If
dust is not found in Step (2) and is found in Step (3), the results are satisfactory.

Reference data location


Folder : "D:\FujiFilm \Frontier\PARAM \SCAN"
File name : "GomiLight.*" The "*" portion is a number, which is incremented by one upon
each reference data creation.

Invalidating reference data (procedure for disabling the dust detection function when it is
abnormal)
Change the file name as indicated below:
GomiLight.1 → GomiLightbak.1

Do not change the file name to "GomiLight.bak1". You must change the portion preceding the
first period in the file name.
When a reference creation operation has been performed twice, files named "GomiLight.1" and
"GomiLight.2" are created. Therefore, rename them to "GomiLightbak.1" and "GomiLightbak.2".
The dust detection function is disabled after the power is turned OFF then back ON. It is not
disabled simply by changing the file names.

2.8 Flow of Printer Image Processing

2.8.1 Printer image processing flow and individual circuit board/unit functions

1) Print images are delivered to the FMB20 board via the FMC20 circuit and stored. The control
signal is fed to the CTL20 board and processed. W hen an image is received, it is stored in the
FMB20 board with the angle of image rotation specified in 90-degree units.
2) One or more FMB20 boards can be installed. One FMB20 board p rovides an image storage
space for 32MB x 3 colors. Since the ring memory system is employed, received images are
sequentially stored without leading and trailing ends taken into consideration. Therefore, if a
specific area of the memory has a defect, it periodically appears in the stored image data to be
printed. One 89 x 127 image uses about 2MB of memory per color. One 254 x 381 image
uses about 14MB of memory per color. The FMB20 board is connected to the FMC20 board
by the card-edge connector method. Therefore, if a memory read/write operation is abnormal
due, for instance, to a poor contact, peculiarly abnormal images result.

22
Distributed by: www.minilablaser.com

Image Processing and Electrical Systems

3) The FMC20 board reads the images stored in the FMB memory for printing purposes. The
read images are then corrected by the printer (write start position and paper LUT corrections)
and subjected to D/A conversion. The resultant output is forwarded to the AOM driver.
Subsequently, the image signal remains in analog format and provides laser light intensity
control and modulation. The R laser light is detected by the exposure unit, and the laser beam
start point detection signal (SOS) is used to exercise write start/end control of individual line
images over the FMC20 board.
4) For various conversions and corrections, the Frontier has LUTs as correction tables. The
scanner has LUTs required for correction calculations in various input devices. The printer
has LUTs for making its unique corrections. Important LUTs of the printer relate to paper
corrections. An adequate number of paper correction LUTs are provided to cover all
magazine IDs. These LUTs are adjusted and set by means of print calibration.
Since these LUTs have a battery backup they remain unaffected even when the software is
reinstalled or upgraded (they basically retain their previous settings).
If any print problem is caused by an abnormality in these LUTs, it persists even after you
replace the circuit boards or reinstall the software. When such a situation is encountered,
effect initialization from the paper condition setup screen.

2.8.2 Test pattern/adjustment pattern handling and troubleshooting

1) Two calibration patterns are available: one is for a paper width of 210 m m or smaller and the
other is for greater paper widths.
These patterns are generated, output, and written directly by the FMC20 board under CTL20
control and not via the frame memory. Therefore, if you encounter an abnormal image, you
can use these calib ration patterns to determine whether a problem exists.

Calibration Image Data Flow (Figure 17)

2) The test patterns (gradation, step wedge, contact, etc.) are generated by the CTL20, written
into the FMB20 frame memory, and then printed. Therefore, these test patterns can be used
to analyze the problems with a system containing the frame memory.

2.8.3 Other printer control functions

Printer section
The CTL20 and PDC20 boards provide mechanical control, sensor control, and input/output control, and drive various motors and
solenoids. The CTL20 control program is downloaded from the scanner via the 1394 interface and battery-backup. Further, the printer
DC power supply is provided in the printer section to supply power to the printer and processor.
Processor power transmission section
This section consists of the AC power receiver and the processor control/device drive section, which is based on the CTP20 and PAC20
boards. The CTP20 board provides processor control. The control program is downloaded from the CTL20 board and battery-backed.

3.1 Scanner Power Supply System/Timer Operation Sequence

Fuji's specially designed timer card is mounted in the PC for the scanner. This card starts the timer
operation of the scanner. (The scanner begins to operate in the same sequence at the press of the
scanner start button (green button).)
Upon receipt of the signal from the timer card, the PC turns ON. W hen +5 V power is received from
the PC via the CTB20 board, the 24 VDC auxiliary power in the power receiving section turns ON.
This auxiliary power turns ON the DC power supply system so that the Frontier scanner program is
downloaded into the GMB20 (GMC20) board.
At startup, the system checks whether startup has been triggered by the timer or start switch. If
startup is triggered by the timer, the system performs a startup message process.

The PhotoMOS relay of GLO20 board is turned on after the scanner is started up and +12V in
the scanner side is supplied to the printer via IEEE1394 communication cable. As a result, the
photo-coupler inside FMA20 board on the printer side is turned on, the power on circuit on
PAC20 board is driven as /RMTON signal asserts the remote on circuit on CTL20, and DC/AC
power is supplied to respective sections inside the printer.
After the power is supplied to the printer and the device is activated, the PhotoMOS relay in the
FMA20 side is turned on and +12V is also supplied from the printer. Supply of +12V from the
scanner is turned off after several seconds.

2) Remote OFF operation


When the PhotoMOS relay is turned off on the printer side, power supply for the printer is shut
down as /RMTON signal negates the remote on the circuit in CTL20.

4. Main Control Unit Troubles

4.1 D r. Watson Error and Error Logging

This type of error basically occurs when a memory access rule is violated in the PC. More
specifically, it occurs when, for instance, the memory is improperly used by the scanner software
(Frontier software) or an overflow is caused by abnormal image processing calculations.
Substantial improvements are brought about by Version 5. W hen this type of error occurs, the
system records relevant information to indicate what Frontier software execution sequence or
calculation the encountered error occurred in. Therefore, when you view its error log, you can make
an error analysis. To view the error log, open Windows Explorer by performing a special procedure
from the maintenance menu and then copy "drwatson32.log" from the \W innt\System \ directory on
drive C to a floppy disk.

4.2 Blue Panic

This abnormality is basically attributable to a PC hardware problem. It is often caused by a defect or


poor contact (improper assembly) of the CPU, memory, or expansion card in the PC. Anyway, this
abnormality is found in the hardware check that is conducted by the PC before loading of the OS
(Windows NT). This abnormality may also occur when the PC memory is accessed during an
operator intervention. If this abnormality occurs, check to ensure that the units in the PC are in
proper contact. If this cure does not help, replace defective hardware. (This abnormality can be
cleared by replacing the memory or ensuring its proper contact.)

4.3 Startup Failu re or OS Error Occurrence

If startup is not achieved at the press of the start switch because an error occurs from the beginning
or while the W indows opening screen display process is in progress, it is likely that the OS is
damaged due to a certain hard d isk drive trouble. In this instance, the screen displays a message in
white characters on a black background. This problem may frequently be solved by reinstalling the
OS (Windows NT). It is worth trying if a substitute PC is not immediately available. This method
particularly works when a recently released PC (XL type) is used. If a hard BIOS error occurs, you
should replace the PC or take a remedial action in accordance with the on-screen message.

4.4 Keyboard or Mouse Freeze

This problem may often occur when the keyboard or mouse cable is disconnected, broken, or in
poor contact. Both the keyboard and mouse are connected to the PC via the serial ports. If the
keyboard or mouse is disconnected from the PC for some reason after its startup, it looks as if it is
frozen. If you encounter this phenomenon, you must re-establish the keyboard/mouse connection
and restart the PC. If a recently released PC (XL type) is used, it may not check or recognize the
connection when it restarts. Therefore, if such a PC is used, you must turn OFF the scanner circuit
breaker to shut off the entire power supply to the PC and then restart the PC. W hen a program
hangs up, the mouse and keyboard are mostly operative. If you encounter a hangup during the
execution of a certain operation, you can escape such a situation when you perform the emergency
shutdown procedure with the mouse or simultaneously press the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys to exit
the currently running or waiting application.

Image Processing and Electrical Systems

4.5 Network Error

In general, a network error is mainly caused by an improper connection to the DI controller or


telephone line. Therefore, you should first check for a disconnected cable and de-energized
modem or DSU. It is also well to remember that the network settings may be unexpectedly changed
for some reason. Therefore, you should check to ensure that the network settings are correct. You
should also keep in mind that the software can be damaged by a computer virus.

4.6 Various Communication Errors

Each component unit of Frontier has a control CPU. It has its own communication system to
exchange information. Main communications are outlined below:
- PC ↔ GMB20 (GMC20) (image processing section): A SCSI is used to exchange information for
various operating control purposes, send/receive images, and download programs.
- GMB20 (GMC20) ↔ CTB20 board: The RS422 serial interface is used to exchange information
including the data and control signals about the light source, lens, and carrier.
- GMB20 and GLO20 (scanner) ↔ FMA20 and CTL20 (printer)
The 1394 serial communications link is used to transfer print images, exercise print control,
control various states, and download programs.
- CTL20 ↔ CTP20 board: The RS422 serial interface is used to control the processor, establish
various status control communications, and download programs.
- GMB20 (GMC20) ↔ CCD20 board: The RS422 serial interface is used to exchange information
about scanning timing and others. Communication errors that may occur include offset or light
intensity adjustment errors, including X -1186 (Scan SH communication error), E -1130 (automatic
light intensity adjustment failure due to an excessive CCD output), and E -1131 (offset cancel
failure).

4.7 Software Upgrade and Various Parameters

Software program upgrade control is provided by an installer program stored on CD-ROM. For
installation purposes, the clean install, reinstall, upgrade, or downgrade procedure is performed, as
detailed below:
(1) Clean install
When an entirely new machine is manufactured or when the existing parameter cannot be
continuously used after PC replacement in the market, the default values about the parameters
and conditions possessed by the software are to be loaded. W hen you perform a clean install,
you must set up all the conditions anew. As regards the printer parameters, note the
mechanical fine adjustment value label attached to the printer door and enter the labeled
values. For the scanner, perform the post-CCD-replacement adjustment procedure.
(2) Reinstall
You are supposed t o perform a reinstall when the parameters can be entered from a floppy disk
after PC replacement. Basically, all the previous data parameters will be continuously used.
Therefore, you merely have to confirm the condition setup and make fine adjustments as
needed. Since the FUJIFILM folder usually exists on drive D, you cannot directly proceed to
perform a reinstall except when you replace the PC. However, you can perform a reinstall after
renaming the FUJIFILM folder.

32
Distributed by: www.minilablaser.com

Image Processing and Electrical Systems

(3) Upgrade
Basically, the software is to be upgraded step by step. Do not for example, attempt to upgrade
the software from the current version to a version that is three levels higher. More specifically,
you are allowed to upgrade the software from Version 4 to Version 6; however, you cannot
upgrade from Version 6 to Version 6. W hen you perform an upgrade, the system stores the
currently used software version after renaming it to "Old". Therefore, you can downgrade the
software from the installer CD-R to a version that was used before the last upgrade. Also, note
that a free hard disk space of more than 800KB is required because two software versions (old
and new) are to be left installed. If, for instance, a large number of B1 software templates are
installed to render the remaining free hard disk space inadequate, you cannot perform an
upgrade.
(4) Downgrade
To downgrade the software, use the downgrade (Ver. Down) application software on the CD-R.
When you downgrade the software, the software version renamed to "Old" in the last upgrade
is restored and made operative.

<Backup floppy disk>


The backup floppy disk is used to load parameters when you reinstall the software as explained
under "Upgrade". The data stored on the backup floppy disk is upward compatible (that is, the
backup floppy disk created with software version 6 can be used with software version 5). The
contents of the backup floppy disk are not introduced here because they were already described in
a news bulletin. Note, however, that the focus calibration data is t he most important backup data. If
the backup floppy disk cannot be read and the chart jig is not available, you can perform an install
from the floppy disk for another machine (in this case, however, you must make formal adjustments).
It was recently reported that a trouble was occasionally caused by an unreadable backup floppy
disk. The results of trouble analyses indicated that the employed floppy disk could not be read or
written onto because it was flawed. Therefore, clean the floppy disk drive with a cleaning floppy disk
before making a backup floppy disk, and exercise care not to flaw the backup floppy disk.

5. Image Problem Isolation Procedures and Remedies

5.1 When an Error Occurs

First, confirm the relationship between the encountered error and image problem. Then, eliminate
the cause of the error without regard to the image problem.

5.2 When No Error Occurs

Step 1: Determine whether the problem occurred on the SP side or LP side. For this purpose, the
execution of Procedures 1) to 4) is effective.
Step 2: If the scanner is suspected of having caused the problem, perform checkout with the
image processing section tester. However, the tester may indicate that two or more circuit
boards are faulty or fail to formulate a defect judgment. Therefore, you should perform the
following analysis procedures while using the tester.
When a reproducible image problem is encountered, isolate it by performing Procedures
1) to 11). If the encountered image problem is not reproducible, make an estimate with the
image problem samples.

1) When the printer is obviously faulty, make calibration and test pattern prints and examine the
results.
REFERENCE: Test pattern prints will be written into the FMB20 board by the CPU on the
printer's CTL20 board.

Normal → You can judge that the printer's FMB20 board read section and subsequent
components, part of the FMC20 board, AOM driver, and laser unit are normal. →
Proceed to perform Procedure 2).
Abnormal → The printer's FMB20 board and subsequent components may be faulty.
(1) The calibration print is abnormal.
→ The FMC20 board, AOM driver, or laser unit is abnormal.
If either the G color or B color is abnormal:
Interchange the G and B AOM driver input coaxial cables to check for a color
abnormality change and phenomenon change.
The abnormal color remains unchanged. → The AOM driver or subsequent
component is faulty.
The abnormal color changes. → The FMC20 board may be faulty.
NOTE: Resulting B/G print location changes are normal.
CAUTION: The R color cable cannot be repositioned even when the R color is
abnormal (the R signal serves as the SOS reference signal).
Return the AOM driver input coaxial cables to their original positions and then
interchange the G and B AOM driver output coaxial cables.
The abnormal color remains unchanged. → The AOM driver and preceding
components are normal. The other components may be faulty.
The abnormal color changes. → The AOM driver is faulty.

Image Processing and Electrical Systems

(2) The calibration print is normal, but the test pattern print is abnormal.
→ You can conclude that the AOM driver and laser unit are normal. It is highly
probable that the FMC20 or FMB20 board may be faulty.

2) Perform the multiple-printing procedure from the scanner.


All the multiple prints are equally abnormal.
→ The FMB20, FMC20, and FMA20 boards in the printer may be faulty.
The multiple prints are not equally abnormal (or some prints are normal and the others are
abnormal).
→ The printer's FMB20 board and subsequent components (e.g., FMB20 board, FMC20 board,
AOM driver, and laser unit) may be faulty.

3) In both the vertical feed and horizontal feed modes, make prints at the same print size setting
while varying the paper size or make prints at differing print size settings.
The abnormality varies (in position, pattern, or degree). → The printer (FMA20, FMB20, and
FMC20 boards) may be faulty.
The abnormality remains unchanged (the image pattern's relative position remains the same).
→ The scanner may be faulty.

4) The abnormality arises whenever about 20 L size prints have been made. → The FMB20 board
may be faulty. The problem is attributable to a certain memory area.

5) Check whether the abnormality found on the obtained prints are also found on index prints.
Yes → The scanner (GFM20 board and subsequent components are normal), C CD, CCD20
board, CDS20 board, GFM20 board, and GMB20 (GMC20) board may be faulty.
No → The GFM board and subsequent components are suspected of being faulty. It is
conceivable that the GIP20, GMB20 (GMC20), and GLO20 boards may be faulty.

6) The non-image area of index prints is also abnormal.


→ The GIP20 board and preceding components are normal, including the GMB20 (GMC20)
board, GLO20 board, and 1394 interface cable.

7) Check the DSC print/negative print.


The DSC print is abnormal. → The GIP20 board and preceding components are normal (the
CCD, CCD20, CDS20, GFM20, and GIP20 boards are normal).
The DSC print is normal. → The GLO board and subsequent components are normal (the
GIS20 and GLO20 boards and the printer are normal).

8) There is an abnormality in the image (fine-scanned image) that is displayed on the monitor with
the red-eye correction. → The GFM20 board and preceding components may be faulty (the
CCD, CCD20, CDS20, GFM20, or GMB20/GMC20 board is faulty).

9) The abnormality is cleared when the carrier is replaced. → The carrier is faulty.

10) The abnormality is cleared when the film is changed. → The scanner and film may be faulty
(including the CCD, CCD20, CDS20, GIP20, GMB20/GMC20, and PC software).

11) The magnification of the abnormality changes when you change the print magnification (e.g.,
cropping). → The GFM20 board and preceding components may be faulty.

1. Overview of Film Carrier Functions and Operations


1.1 Characteristics of Overall Configuration
- Information on negatives: The carrier reads only the information about perforation positions.
The optical information about barcode and other elements is read by the CCD.
- Carrier control: The CPU, which controls the carrier operation, is mounted on the CTB20 board
that is located on the console side of the scanner. Pulse motor and clutch drivers are mounted on
the circuit board within the carrier.
- Transport control: A 3-line CCD consisting of 3 colors (R, G, and B) is used to read image
information during film transport. Therefore, if the transport speed is not as specified, color
misalignment or black framing occurs.
- Film transport drive: A five-phase stepping motor is used for driving the film transport. A flat belt
transmission system is used to reduce the speed over three steps. A clutch is incorporated in the
deceleration section to change the deceleration ratio. Note, however, that the MFC10Y uses an
entirely different drive system (ball screw drive).
- Pitch correction value: The EEPROM inside the carrier has a coefficient named the pitch
compensation value for clutch and transport direction to ensure that the actual transport speed
agrees with the speed setting for scanning. This compensation value is determined after
measuring the transport speed during outgoing inspection with inspection lith film whose
perforation interval is known. This value is an important compensation value for the carrier. It
cannot be measured but can be changed by the scanner. The pitch compensation value 1
corresponds to a 0.1% speed change.
Menu 44Q/44R has the NC135Y/NC240Y pitch compensation value setup screen. However, do
not change the settings.

Pitch compensation value setup High speed Medium speed Low speed
Pre-scan *** *** ***
Fine scan *** *** ***

- Film transport speed: The NC135Y has a film transport speed of 2.5 to 190 mm/s. The NC240Y
has a film transport speed of 2 to 158.5 mm/s. The NC135AG/NC240AG carrier for F390 is
mechanically the same as the NC135Y/NC240Y carrier, but the capacity of the former is
increased so that the negative transport speed for fine scanning is raised by about 10%.
- Diffusion plate: The NC135Y, NC240Y, and MFC10Y carriers are equipped each with a diffusion
plate.

1.2 Operation Overview


- Scanner correction: When the carrier is set in position, a scanner correction is made. This
correction is made to uniform the brightness sensitivity (shading compensation). Whenever the
carrier is set in position with the machine turned ON (that is, at the beginning of each day's
operation), this correction is made for the carrier. It is also made when the carrier type is changed.
If the same carrier is set in position for a second time after power ON, only the simplified
correction is made (for confirmation purposes). This simplified correction differs from the scanner

36

Film Carrier

correction that is to be made at the beginning of each day's operation. If any dirt is trapped in the
carrier, the information about the carrier containing dirt is read in the scanner correction process.
Therefore, if you encounter dirt-induced streaks, you must clean the carrier and then perform the
pre-operational checkout procedure for scanner correction.
- Pre-scanning: When you insert a film into the carrier, the pre-scanning process is first performed.
In the pre-scanning process, the entire length of a film roll is read as one image. The image
derived from pre-scanning is used to locate each image frame and determine the fine scanning
speed and other conditions by investigating the density, size, and other conditions required for
fine scanning. In addition, the barcode is read on an edge basis by detecting the film edge from
the pre-scanned image. Note that the 240 does not locate image frames but merely checks for
image frames because it can define the frame positions in accordance with the perforation.
- Image frame detection: The image frame positions of the 135 film are determined in accordance
with the correlation between the perforation position and motor clock signal.
- Image reading range: Differing CCD reading ranges are applied to pre-scanning and fine
scanning. In the pre-scanning process, the entire film width is read. In the fine scanning process,
only the image areas are read.
- Index print: Index print images are printed using fine-scanned images.
- Jam detection: Much stricter jam checkout is conducted than in the use of a conventional analog
carrier. Jam detection is based on the perforation interval. Jam detection occurs when the
elapsed time between the detection of one perforation and the next is more than two times the
specified perforation interval during NC135Y use (or five times during NC135S/NC135J use) or
1.05 times the specified perforation interval during NC240Y use (or 1.2 times during
NC240S/NC240J use).

1.3 NC135Y Carrier Structure (See the attached drawing for details of the structure.)
- The NC135Y consists of the following components:
Upper guide, take-up section, drive system, main board, soft nip mechanism, drive motor, driver
board, base, and ball catch
- The soft nip mechanism prevents images from being blurred (color misalignment) by releasing
the nips on only side of the second and third feed rollers in front and rear of the optical axis and
avoiding speed fluctuations caused by load changes when negatives enter or depart from the nip
roller section. Although the first feed is not soft-nipped, it does not cause any problem because
the shock caused by entry and departure is small due to limited nipping force.

this manner all the way to the point

feed roller nip is released at the Perforation detection

frame gap before the last frame and


the last frame is read as is (it is fed by the second feed roller only). In the standby state, both the
second and third feed roller nips are released.
- For soft nip mechanism assembly, the timing pulley phase adjustment needs to be made. The
soft nip mechanism is positioned by aligning the groove positions. The timing belt tension is
15 g to 20 g.
- The soft nip vertical transport mechanism (nip release) is based on a cam. A bearing is used as
the cam support.
- Sheet metal parts were formerly used in the supporting bracket for opening and closing the
upper guide. However, it was later replaced by shaped steel after the occurrence of a problem
in which it was deformed by shock and load from guide opening. As a result, a load of up to
8 kg or 9 kg can be normally supported although deformation was formerly caused by a load of
4 kg.
- The drive system tension is adjusted by rotating the belt and fixing it at the location where the
spring becomes stable. The final step requires caution because of its slipperiness owing to the
existence of small pulleys (transport system transmission belt decelerators).
- A switching mask is attached to the upper guide side to prevent flaring in a panoramic image.
The switching mask opens fully at the time of pre-scanning and moves the mask size
corresponding to the size of each frame during fine scanning. The right- and left-hand masks
are linked by the intermediate gear. If the marks on the intermediate gear and mask do not
match, it means that cogs are skipping.

1.4 NC240Y Carrier Structure (See the attached drawing for details of the structure.)
- Unlike the NC135Y, the NC240Y is not equipped with a soft nip mechanism but is provided with a
nest section. It also incorporates a magnet head/dummy head for reading magnetic information.
The NC240Y does not have a soft nip mechanism because there is a leader on the film leading
end so that the film leading end/trailing end cannot possibly enter or depart from a feed roller
during image reading.

First nip Second nip Third nip


1.0 kgf 1.0 kgf 1.0 kgf

- The drive system is the same as that of the NC135Y. However, the speed is changed by
changing the pulse rate of the transport motor.
- The nest section operation is indicated below (see the attached drawing for details).
The operator sets the cartridge in position. → The sensor detects the cartridge.
The cartridge is automatically fed inward.
The cartridge is locked at its stop position and then the drive is disengaged.
The cartridge shutter opens.
The nest section feed motor is driven to pull out the film.
When the predetermined amount of film is pulled out, the feed motor is de-energized, and the
feed roller on the console side unwinds the film from the cartridge. At this time, the detent torque
of the feed motor becomes the pull-out load. The torque limiters in the nest section and take-up
section absorb the difference between the transport speed and take-up/unwinding speed.
- No matter whether the NC135Y or NC240Y is used, the film dye may fade due to the light from the
light source if the film is halted for a period of longer than 2 seconds during exposure. Since the
APS film perforation interval is long, the NC240Y cannot achieve jam detection within 2 seconds
during a scan, which is conducted at a lower speed. Therefore, an encoder is mounted in the
take-up section to achieve jam detection independently of perforation detection.

1.5 MFC10Y Multiple Film Carrier


- With the mask set on the film slider, the film slider moves to read the film. Various film types can
be properly handled by changing the mask.
- The film slider is transported by a ball-screw feed mechanism. A metal slide bearing (not of a
phosphor bronze type or of an oil-impregnated type) is used as the linear guide. It generates an
abnormal sound unless the ball screw is adequately greased.
- A five-phase drive motor is employed. It is connected to the ball screw via a coupling.
- The leaf spring joining the ball screw and film slider helps to maintain the parallelism between the
slide shaft and ball screw.
- A two-phase PM motor is used for film transport. The connection to the film slider feed roller is
established by a gear train. The employed gear has a module of as small as 0.3. It fine-tunes the
mask position and adjusts the engagement between the film slider gear and console gear train.
The associated adjustment value is stored in the EEPROM within the carrier as the mask position
fine adjustment value.

2. Associating the DX Code with the 135 Film Frame Position


As outlined under "Carrier Overview", the image position on film and the barcode information are
individually analyzed and determined in accordance with the image signal read by the CCD. For
image detection, center position determination, and barcode reading method, see "Section 4.
Frontier 350/370 Image Frame Detection and DX Code Detection."
In reality, the frame numbers read from the DX/FNS code are assigned to individual image frames.
The method of determining the frame numbers is summarized below.

2.1 Determining the Frame Positions


Pre-scanned images are used to determine the frame positions.
The center position of each frame is determined in accordance with the film leading end
encountered during pre-scanning.
Underexposed image frames such as a night scene image frame have indistinct image edges. In
such an instance, however, the image frame center is determined in accordance with the preceding
and following frames.

2.2 Analyzing the Barcode to Determine the Frame Number Position


Independently of framed images, each barcode is analyzed to obtain the written frame number and
determine the frame position. The barcode position is not the center of the barcode. It is the
position at which the barcode-indicated number (e.g., 6 or 6A) is written. The applicable standards
state that the frame number is to be positioned at a distance of 3 mm from the end of the FNS
barcode or 4 mm from the end of the extended DX barcode.

2.3 Making Up for Barcode Reading Deficiencies


If some barcodes cannot be read, they can be compensated for in accordance with the successfully
read barcode value and positions. This compensation is achievable because the barcodes are
written at intervals stipulated by the standards.

2.4 Determining the Frame Number for Each Frame Position


After the position of an image frame is determined as explained in Section 2.1, the system adopts
the closest frame number that is located within a range of ±19 mm from the frame center. The range
is limited to ±19 mm in consideration of an area preceding the "00" mark and an area following the
"E" mark.

2.5 Adjusting the Frame Numbering Style


If the frames are nearly centered with respect to the spacing intervals of the frame numbers, the
resulting frame number selections may alternate between a number with "A" and a number without
"A". This mixture of two types of numbers is corrected as indicated below:

Example) 5, 6A, 7 → 5, 6, 7

41
Distributed by: www.minilablaser.com

Film Carrier

This adjustment feature is not exercised for image frames that are displaced or improperly spaced
by the camera (1/4 frame displacement or greater deviation).
Further, barcode reading errors are corrected. The system checks if the transition of detecting
frame numbers is sequential.

4. Frontier 350/370 Image Frame Detection and DX Code Detection

4.1 Background
Image frame detection is conducted to
locate the frames on 135 film.

Normally, image frames are positioned at regular intervals as shown above. When the film consists
of properly positioned image frames only, image frame detection is easily accomplished. In reality,
however, there are various elements related to film, to be taken into consideration as explained in
Section 4.2, Relationship between Film Conditions and Frame Determination Factors. That is why
the image frame detection algorithm is complicated. One of the main roles of the image frame
detection algorithm is to search for elements other than image frames.

4.2 Relationship between Film Conditions and Frame Determination Factors


4.2.1 Fogged leading end
When film is loaded into the camera, (1) Frame C Frame B Frame A
the film leading end may be fogged.
(1) Since Frame A is not fogged, it

When an underexposed frame (extremely low in density) is encountered, it cannot easily be
distinguished from the neighboring
no-image area. If the leading frame is

4.3 Panorama Judgment Algorithm


4.3.1 Introduction
The analog Minilab carriers have only four area sensor values and cannot formulate detailed
judgments as explained below. The Frontier, on the other hand, uses its CCD to obtain the overall
frame information and can formulate detailed judgments. If the available time is not limited, the
percentage of successful panorama judgments can be raised further by the Frontier.

4.3.2 Currently encountered panorama frames


Unlike commonly used full-size frames, panorama frames are produced by masking the upper
and lower ends of a regular frame when a picture is taken with a camera.
However, the panorama frame width is not standardized. It varies from one camera to another.
The width of panorama frames encountered in the market greatly varies from 12.9 mm (minimum)
to 16.0 mm (maximum).
Further, panorama frames on some negatives cannot easily be distinguished from the others.

4.3.3 Images outside the panorama area


The following camera-specific extraneous items may be imaged outside the panorama area.
When these items are present, it is high probable that panorama frames can be erroneously
recognized as full-size frames.

4.3.4 Overexposed panorama image frames


Owing to an unwanted reflection within the camera, a flare(2) may occur within an overexposed
panorama image frame although the affected portion should normally look flat.

4.3.5 Underexposed panorama image frame examples


If dark panorama frames are produced when, for instance, pictures are taken in a dark room, the
boundaries of such panorama frames are not detectable so that a bright central portion is
rendered conspicuous. These underexposed frames cannot easily be recognized as panorama
frames.

When a bright scene is photographed, an unwanted reflection may occur, giving a fogged appearance to the region outside the
panorama area.

4.4 135 Barcode Detection


4.4.1 Currently used barcodes FNS code
Two different barcodes exist: DX
code and FNS code. These codes
are positioned on both film edges as
latent image barcodes.
For DX/FNS code detection and
reading purposes, the barcode
positions of the negative are
checked to analyze the density of
DX code and FNS code data. DX code
In some cases, these codes cannot be read due, for instance, to fogging, notches, or absence.

Remarks

Frontier
The information about one film roll is obtained from a CCD image. Since analysis can be
achieved with the data about a film roll, the accuracy is considerably higher than in the use of
conventional machines.

SFA Series
Two sensors are provided to read the barcodes on the "information track" and "timing track".
However, the two sensors are positioned close to each other. Therefore, the sensors pick up
the information about neighboring data to the detriment of data accuracy.

4.4.4 Binarization of tracks


The binarization process independently converts the density changes on the information and
timing tracks to black and white bars in the unit of a pixel. The tracking threshold method is used
for conversion to black and white bars.

Tracking threshold method


The distance between the leading ends of two neighboring barcodes is 19 mm. The upper
and lower threshold values are predefined for each 19 mm block. The moving average of the
current point of interest is then determined to set the threshold value (for black and white).
<Binarization (conversion to black and white)>
The threshold value is determined at each point. The data at each point is examined to check
whether it is greater (lower in density) or smaller (higher in density) than the threshold value.
When the data is greater than the threshold value, its point is set to be white. When the data
is smaller than the threshold value, its point is set to be black.

4.4.5 DX code detection


The DX code is divided into the timing track and information track.
In synchronism with the timing track,
0.75 mm to 1.26 mm:
the DX code determines whether the Information track
information track is a bar (black stripe) 2.06 mm to 2.6 mm:
Timing track
or a space (white stripe). This process
is called binarization. ENTRY

is classified as one of the following three types and then memorized:
- Fogged
- Notched
- Absence of barcode (parity error and barcode length error included)

Fog

2. Relationship between D562 Sensor in Subscanning Unit and Distribution

The D562 sensor performs three triggering functions. Since the D562 is a trigger sensor, it does not
cause an error even when it fails to achieve detection. However, such a detection failure may incur a
distribution failure, which causes Error W2406.

(1) Laser exposure start trigger


- Starts the laser exposure process when XX pulses are generated after the D562 sensor
detects a paper leading end. (The value "XX" varies with the image write start position fine
adjustment.)
(2) Subscanning unit soft nip trigger
- Starts an up-down soft nip operation of the subscanning exposure roller. In sequence (2)
below, the D561 sensor functions as a trigger.
[1] The second nip roller begins to descend 100 ms after paper leading end detection by the
D562 sensor.
[2] The first nip roller begins to ascend 230 ms after paper leading end detection by the D561
sensor.
[3] The paper is backed to the standby position 210 ms after paper leading end detection by
the D562 sensor.

(3) Distribution section suction up/down transport trigger


- The suction section performs a pre-descent operation (descends one step and then stops)
when a predetermined period of time elapses after paper leading end detection by the D562
sensor.
- The suction section starts descending with the belt transport stopped when a period of 60 ms
elapses after paper leading end detection by the D562 sensor.

Two or more paper jam messages may be generated in some cases. In such an instance, two or
more jam message screens are thoroughly superposed. If, for instance, a paper jam message
comes into view at the click of the "OK" button after the first paper jam message is displayed, the
later-displayed message relates to the fundamental error.

Error checks are conducted at various paper passage processes. If an error occurs at a certain passage
point, a second error often occurs at the next passage point. In this instance, the message about the first
error appears on the display and then the message about the second error appears over the first one.

7. Paper Jam Check List - W2406 (6) Sheet B

Usage: First refer to Sheet A and locate the error in the distribution section in accordance with the distribution section error occurrence condition (phenomenon). If Sheet A does
not help, use this sheet (Sheet B).
Explanation: Sheet A merely furnishes the information about probable causes of errors attributable to the distribution section. If Sheet A does not help, the other sections are attributable
to the error. Therefore, see Sheet B and conduct overall checks by examining the other sections as well as the distribution section. These two different sheets provide a
two-step troubleshooting guide in order to provide effective solutions to various problems ranging from "simple troubles" to "complicated troubles".

5. SCANNER AIR COMPRESSOR AND FLOW RATE SENSOR

<General description>
For film cooling purposes, the Frontier's scanner uses an air compressor (PU351) to provide cooling
air. While the air compressor is running, a flow rate sensor is used to check whether the
predetermined cooling air flow rate is being maintained and has not dropped.

1. Sensor output and flow rate


The table below shows the relationship between the flow rate sensor and flow rate. The
indicator lamp goes off when the output voltage of the flow rate sensor (D351) is between 2.6 and
3.0 V during the operation of the air compressor (PU351). (The detection range varies with the
unit depending on the inherent differences among the employed detection circuit parts.)
For adequate film cooling performance, the target flow rate is set at 26 liters per second.
Although two different flow rate sensors are used as indicated in Minilab Technical Information
MTI No. ED122, they exhibit the same performance characteristics when the sensor output is
between 2.0 and 3.0 V. Therefore, no detection performance difference arises no matter which
flow rate sensor is used.

If the detection level predetermined for a sensor output range of 2.6 to 3.0 V is not attained when
checkout is performed at scanner startup, the W-1125 error message "Film cooling air
compressor flow rate is too low - Clean compressor air filter as directed in documentation"
appears.
If this phenomenon occurs during fine scanning, the above error does not occur, but the resulting
prints are as described in Section 7, Abnormalities Encountered When Lamp Goes Off during
Film Scanning, in the "Image Troubleshooting Guide".
The filter for the film cooling air compressor needs to be cleaned at 3-month intervals as
explained in Section 5.14, Film Cooling Air Compressor Filter Cleaning, in the Applied Operating
Instructions volume of the Instruction Manual. However, if the above phenomenon occurs or if
the flow rate sensor (D351) output is close to 3 V when an I/O check is conducted during an air
compressor operation, the filter must be cleaned immediately. It is recommended that the filter

88
Distributed by: www.minilablaser.com

Technical Information

be cleaned without delay particularly when it is used for a Minilab machine that is installed at a
shop or other dusty location.
The compressor temperature characteristics (spontaneous heat generation by the compressor)
are such that the flow rate obtained during printing may be as much as 5% lower than when the
compressor is used immediately after power ON.

2. Inspection procedures
1) Checking the supply voltage
Power is supplied to the air compressor after its voltage is reduced to 100 VAC by the
transformer for the scanner power supply (200 to 240 VAC). For operating the compressor at
the rated flow rate, 100 VAC power needs to be properly supplied. Check that the AC power
supply terminal strip is properly set up for the actual input voltage supplied to the scanner.
2) Checking the flow rate sensor
Remove the carrier and open I/O check menu 43A. Operate the PU351 and check the air
coming out of the air nozzle that is positioned below the scanner section and to the left of the
lens. When the air gushes out, the compressor is normal. Roughly cover the air nozzle end
with your finger to obstruct the air flow and check whether the output of the flow rate sensor
(D351) lowers. If the output remains unchanged, it is conceivable that the flow rate sensor
may be faulty.

3. Compressor use at high altitude locations


When the air compressor is used at high altitudes, the resulting air flow rate is lower than usual
because the air concentration decreases in proportion to the altitude. The air compressor can be
operated normally at altitudes of up to 2000 m or so. At an altitude of higher than 2000 m,
however, an error may occur due to an insufficient air flow rate. When the Frontier 350/370/390
is installed at such a high altitude location and the occurrence of an error is anticipated, a high-
altitude air compressor can be supplied as an option. A new bulletin will be soon issued to
inform you of the part number of this high-altitude air compressor.

6. OPTICAL SECTION ND FILTER CONTAMINATION AND UNEVENNESS


UPPER/LOWER PRINT DENSITY
<Contents>

As announced in Minilab Technical Information No.ED055 under the title of "Image Abnormality
(Unevenness) Countermeasures," the problem of unevenness in upper/lower print density may
occur due to contamination of the ND filter/CDD glass or a message I-1453 "Film bar-code cannot
be read" may appear.
The degree to which prints are affected by the contamination of the ND filter (whether or not the
problem of unevenness upper/lower print density occurs) is dependent on the type of film carrier
used and the print size.
In the event of unevenness in upper/lower print density, the problem should be effectively handled
with reference to the following information.
1. ND Filter Usage
The ND filter should be used at the time of scanner correction (during the pre-operational check
or when the carrier is installed for the fist time on the day of operation). It is not used for actual
fine scanning. The term "scanner correction" here refers to the step of brightness correction
(CCD output level uniformization) performed for each of the scanning conditions shown below.
2. Operating Conditions
With the NC135Y or NC240Y carrier, correction data for use under the following four conditions
are obtained.
(1) For prescanning
(2) For print scanning (3R-4R)
(3) For medium-magnification printing (5R-6R)
(4) For high-magnification printing (8R or larger)
For negative films, the ND filter is used for scanner correction using (1), (2), and (3). The IX240
reversal film (with the NC240Y carrier) is used for (1) and (2).
When the MFC10Y is used (135 or 120 mirror box), no ND filter is used at the time of scanner
correction under any conditions (print size and film type).

The problem of unevenness in upper/lower print density due to ND filter contamination may occur
when the ND filter is used at the time of scanner correction.
Since the CCD output is adjusted with a contaminated ND filter at the time of scanner correction
and no ND filter is used for actual fine scanning, a pattern which is the reverse of the ND filter
contamination may appear as upper/lower print density irregularities on prints.
Conclusion:
The problem of unevenness in upper/lower print density due to ND filter contamination may occur
in any of the following cases.
• Negative prints of size 6R or smaller are produced with NC135Y
• Negative prints of size 6R or smaller are produced with NC240Y
• Reversal prints of size 4R or smaller are produced with NC240Y

Cases have arisen in which the entire film carrier is replaced in the event that a "W-1128 Dust
adhesion-caused" error occurs and the cause of the error is clearly attributable to a film carrier
(NC135Y, NC240Y, MFC10Y), for instance, the error occurs only in a specific carrier. The dust
adhesion-caused error-related parts of the film carrier are the film mask and the film mask diffusion
plate. To cope with this problem, take countermeasures, following the steps described below.

<Countermeasures>

Clean the film mask and the film mask diffusion plate. Also clean all the other parts of the film
carrier that will come into contact with the film.
Especially, be sure to clean the back side of the film mask diffusion plate (carrier back side).
When use is made of an automatic film carrier (NC135Y or NC240Y), pieces of threads may
become attached to the upper guide section.
If the problem cannot be corrected even after the above countermeasures are taken, it is suspected
that the film mask diffusion plate has suffered damage or there is dust and dirt inside it. In that
case, replace the film mask diffusion plate, following the procedure given in the Service Manual.
Replacement of the plate can be done easily.

For the NC135Y : See Subsection 11.2.15 of the Service Manual under "Film mask diffusion plate
replacement." Part No. 357C896753A Base, optical
For the NC240Y : See Subsection 11.3.21 of the Service Manual under "Film mask diffusion plate
replacement." Part No. 357C897313 Base
For the MFC10Y : See Section 6.22 of the MFC10Y Service Manual/Installation Guide under
"Diffusion plate replacement." Part No. 345C897466A Diffuser assembly

8. PRESCAN SCREEN FRAME POSITION SHIFT

<Contents>

A shift in film frame position may occur on the prescan screen when the NC135Y is used with
Frontier 350/370. In the event of a film frame position shift, it may be concluded that a negative
feed error has occurred in the NC135Y. When the film is in such a condition as explained below,
however, the frame position may be slightly shifted due to limitations of Frontier's image detection
function. In that case, the image position should be corrected by using the operation keyboard (see
Step 4 for Subsection 4.5.2 of the Basic Operating Instructions under "Feeds image at low speed
key").

<Cases in which a positional shift tends to occur easily>

1. Flare is present outside the leading frame.

Flare

Direction of negative
insertion Leading frame

Erroneously detected

The edge of the flare is mistakenly judged to be the edge of the leading frame, resulting in a shift
in leading frame position.

2. Beginning of leading frame is very underexposed

Direction of negative

Erroneously detected
frame position

The beginning of the leading frame in the direction of insertion is not detected but a midpoint in
the image is mistakenly judged to be the edge, resulting in a shift in leading frame position.

3. Flare on an intermediate frame

Direction of
negative insertion

Erroneously detected
frame position

The edge of the flare is mistakenly judged to be the edge of an intermediate frame, resulting in a
shift in frame position.

4. Excessively high base density


If the base density of the negative film is excessively high due to the passage of time or to high
temperature, there is a high possibility of image edge detection error because of the relatively low
image detection threshold. Such negatives can be generally identified by discoloring of the film
edge or by fogging between film bar codes.

5. Ultra-over negative
For ultra-over negatives (+4 or +5 or higher), there is a high possibility that flare will appear
outside the exposed frames. Consequently, a shift in frame position may occur for the same
reason as in 3.

9. NC135Y VARIABLE FILM MASK GEAR ENGAGEMENT ERROR

<Contents>

Do not force the NC135Y variable film mask to move. Straining the mask may cause the internal
gear to skip, resulting in a shift in mask position or an equipment malfunction.
When the NC135Y is removed from the main body of the SP1500/SP2000 after completion of fine
scanning, the variable mask position is "F" (full size position: aperture 24.9 mm). (Main unit system
software Ver.6.0 or earlier)

<Reason>

Although the NC135Y variable film mask is set in the full-open position (aperture: 40.4 mm) in the
prescan mode, it is changed to an appropriate aperture position, according to the print size for each
frame, F/Hv (aperture: 21.0 mm) or P (aperture: 14.3 mm), at the time of fine scanning, and
returned to the F position at the completion of fine scanning for film discharge.
Consequently, the variable film mask is in the F size position when the NC135Y is removed from the
main body of the SP1500/SP2000 after film discharge.
It has been found by analysis of carriers (NC135Y) returned as defective parts that in some cases
the variable film mask position has deviated from normal due to gear engagement error . This
suggests that an attempt was made to move the variable mask by force.
More specifically, it can be concluded that an attempt was made, at the time of carrier removal, to
widen the variable film mask from the F size position further toward the outer fine scan position.
In the event that a negative feed error has occurred during fine scanning, the variable film mask may
be in the position corresponding to "P" or "Hv", depending on the frame print size at the time of
occurrence of the error, if the NC135Y is removed from the main body of the SP1500/SP2000
without correcting the error. When installing the NC135Y again, the mask should not be moved by
force because it is automatically set in the correct position.
For main unit system software Ver.7.0 and higher, we intend to change the variable mask position
after film discharge to the full-open position.

W-1215
Remove carrier, then remove negative.

<Reason>

Prior to a carrier operation such as prescanning or fine scanning, the light source lamp is checked
for overcurrent. If the light source lamp is found abnormal, the carrier operation is suspended. In
that case, any of the carrier malfunction error messages shown in the table above appears although
the error message W-1238 ought to be displayed.

<Steps>

If the correct error message "W-1238 Scanning Lamp abnormality detected. Replace lamp."
appears after restarting of the system; perform the operation as directed in the message.
If the light source lamp is abnormal, the motor cannot be rotated in [44] Adjustment/Maintenance
[44E-44G] Carrier I/O Check even though the feed motor is normal.

11. E-1247 ERROR COUNTERMEASURES

<Contents>

The steps to be taken in the event of occurrence of error "E-1247 Carrier EEPROM data abnormal"
are described below.
This error is detected and indicated if the CPU on the CTB20 circuit board of the scanner judges that
the carrier mechanical data stored in the EEPROM on the film carrier circuit board has been
destroyed.
The mechanical data includes data for "carrier focus position adjustment" (which is to be performed
at the time of installation), "sensor calibration", "pitch correction", "mask home correction pulse", and
"door close position offset pulse."

<Error Occurrence Timing>

At the time when the carrier is removed or reinstalled during mechanical data write operation (carrier
red LED ON)
(The data may not be destroyed even in the event of an error. In that case no error will occur even
when the carrier is reinstalled.)

<Prevention of Error Occurrence>

To prevent the occurrence of error E-1247, do not pull out the carrier when the carrier red LED is lit.

<Recovery from Error>

With the MENU44P "Film carrier ID setup/delete" screen displayed, select the corresponding carrier
ID and execute "Download."

<Operation at the Time of Installation>

As a countermeasure against the above error, be sure to execute "Data backup" on the MENU 44P
screen at the time of installation. (Refer to the installation manual.)

12. MFC10Y FILM SLIDER PAD CLEANING

<Contents>

A gap-filling pad (P/No.386D897492A) is affixed on the back side of the MFC10Y film slider so that
the leading edge of the film will not be caught between the film slider and the cover at the time of
scanning. If the sliding load for the film slider increases due to accumulation of dust on this pad,
the film slider may not operate smoothly, resulting in occurrence of color bleeding on prints or jaggy
image abnormality.
To prevent the occurrence of such a problem, clean the pad, following the cleaning procedure
described below. The recommended cleaning interval is about once a week. It is also
recommended that the pad be cleaned with the use of lens cleaning cloth "TORAYSEE" (produced
by TORAY, available at glasses shops).

<Cleaning Procedure>

(1) Set the film slider in the home position (left-hand


side). Normally, when the film slider is removed
from the scanner after printing, it is in its home
position.

(2) Put the lens cleaning cloth into the gap between
the pad at the left of the film slider and the back
light.

(3) Clean the pad by moving the lens cleaning cloth to


the left and right ten times as shown in the figure.

(4) Install the MFC10Y in the scanner. When a


message I-1490 "Prepare for the diffusion plate
cleaning" appears, select [clean].

(5) Insert the lens cleaning cloth into the film slider
from its front left side and then clean the pad by
moving the cloth to the left and right ten times as
shown in the figure.

13. POSITIONAL SHIFT BETWEEN HIGH MAGNIFICATION MODE MONITOR PRINT


FRAME AND ACTUAL PRINT

When prints are produced at high magnification (Cropping "ON" or not) with the use of the
NC135Y/NC240Y film carrier, there may occur a positional shift between the print frame on the monitor
screen and the relative center on the print.
This positional shift is attributable to design factors such as described below, and it does not mean any
equipment fault.
When it is necessary to produce prints at high magnification as in the case when trimming prints, it is
recommended to use the MFC10Y film carrier.

<When the NC135Y is used>

1. Causes of positional shift


(1) Positional shift in the film cross direction
This phenomenon is caused by the difference between the film feed path width and the
actual film width.
The film feed path width is 35.1 +0.1/-0 mm while the film width is about 34.6-34.8 mm.
Since the film is reversely fed for fine scanning after the print range is specified by the use of
the prescan image print frame on the monitor screen, there is a possibility of a positional shift
occurring due to the difference between the feed path width and the film width.
(2) Positional shift in the film feed direction
The feed direction depends on the capability of the frame image detection sensor and the
film feed accuracy. In actuality, a maximum of about 0.3 mm of shift may occur due to a
relative positional shift between prescanning and fine scanning.

In cases (1) and (2) above, the center positional shift on the print is proportional to the print
magnification, so that it is significant when the print magnification is high. Although the NC135Y is
used as an example in the above explanation, the same problem occurs with the NC240Y.

(3) Optical axis shift


[1] Shift ascribable to the optical system
The projected image of the carrier center is shifted with a change in optical
magnification. However, as this shift is equivalent, in terms of CCD pixels, to only 10
pixels over the entire magnification range, it is practically negligible compared to the
shifts in cases (1) and (2) above.
[2] Shift ascribable to the carrier
A maximum of 0.2 mm of shift may occur due to the relative positional shift between the
carrier mount position and the optical axis. In terms of CCD pixels, this positional shift
is equivalent to about 15 pixels (0.2 mm x 1.2-0.6 [magnification] ÷ 0.008 mm [pitch per
pixel]).
(4) Shift ascribable to the printer
This problem is caused by a paper exposure positional shift in the feed/cross direction. It can
be checked and corrected by opening the maintenance menu and executing MENU "45H" "Main
Scanning Position Adjustment/Laser Beam Syne. Rough Adjustment."

Technical Information

2. Positional shift correction


For causal factors (3) and (4), the problem can be corrected because the same pattern of
positional shifts recur. In major factors (1) and (2), however, the same pattern dose not recur
and, in actuality, adjustment is practically impossible when the NC135Y/NC240Y is used.

<When the MFC10Y is used>

In the MFC10Y, it is the film slider (mask), not the film, that is moved, whereas the film is fed in the
NC135Y/NC240Y. More exact image positioning can therefore be secured when the MFC10Y is
used.
With the MFC10Y, stable trimming can be achieved if the equipment setup is correct, because there
are no such factors of NC135Y as described in (1) and (2) above.

1. Causes of positional shift


(1) Monitor image position setup
This setup can be performed by the maintenance menu for the carrier. The image position
can be adjusted by entering numerical values for the four sides (up, down, left, right) for each
mask.
(2) Backlash setup
This setup can be performed by the "MFC10Y Machine Data Setup" menu. The backlash of
the film slider can be adjust when the direction of its movement differs between the
prescanning and fine scanning modes. Any shift from the print in the film slider feed
direction can be corrected by adjusting its numerical value.

In addition, the factors of NC135Y shown in (3) and (4) above are common to the MFC10Y. Stable
trimming can therefore be achieved by making adjustments (1) and (2) above and executing "Main
Scanning Position Adjustment/Laser Beam Syne. Rough Adjustment."

14. OCCURRENCE OF ERROR "E-1424 DOWNLOADING CARRIER PROGRAM


FAILED"

<Contents>

An error message "E-1424 Downloading carrier program failed" appears if after version upgrading
of the Frontier System Software A1, Digital Imaging Software Application "FRONTIER" is reinstalled,
through the use of the C4/C5 software, on FRONTIER 350/370/390 under the following conditions.

<Conditions>

A log-in operation is performed, with the application software for FRONTIER 350/370/390 started,
using SE2, the Digital Imaging Software Application "FRONTIER" (C4/C5) installed on FRONTIER
350/370/390 by "M49B Explorer." Then the system is restarted, following the message shown on
the screen. (An E-1424 error would occur at the time when the system is restarted.)

<Cause of the Error>

When the system is restarted under the above conditions, the power has not been completely turned
off and the image processing section of the SP1500/SP2000/SP2500 is still in operation (it has not
been reset). This results in the occurrence of the above error.

NOTE 1 : For the procedure for installing the Digital Imaging Software Application "FRONTIER"
on FRONTIER 350/370/390, refer to Subsection 2.2.4.2 of the DI PRINT/DATA
WRITING SERVICE SOFTWARE INSTRUCTION MANUAL (PP3-B163E3).
NOTE 2 : To install an optional software on FRONTIER 350/370/390, be sure to use the shift
startup procedure and perform installation from the desktop screen.
Supplementary remarks:
An E-1424 error also occurs if the reset switch on the front panel of the main control unit
is depressed after the SP1500/SP2000/SP2500 has been started.

15. NOTES ON PAPER CONDITION SETUP

1) Paper condition setup


The paper condition setup data is magazine specific. Therefore, it does not apply to the use of a
different magazine.

2) Master magazine and condition upkeep print


- With the master magazine registered, corrections are made each day with reference to the
condition upkeep print. The data for different channels are automatically adjusted to
compensate for a shift from the state prevailing on the previous day.
- The results of condition upkeep print corrections made for the master magazine after a paper
end do not affect the data for different channels.

3) After a paper type change, effect initialization because roundabout steps would otherwise be
followed to perform condition setup.

4) Condition setup after a paper end

Versions 5.0-589 and earlier


If paper condition setup is not completed for a magazine that is set in position after a paper end,
the display shows the W-2507 error message "Paper condition setup is not completed for the
currently used magazine - Perform paper condition setup". Even if you temporarily clear the
error message and set the magazine in position again, the same message appears again. If
you do not perform paper condition setup for the currently used magazine, the feedback of the
condition upkeep data about the master magazine does not apply to the currently used
magazine.

Versions 6.0 and later


If you choose "No" when the W-2507 error message appears in situations where the paper is
set after a paper end, the error message does not reappear until the next paper end is reached.
It also well to remember that the feedback of master magazine data applies.

No matter what version is used, the W-2533 error message "Ten days elapsed since the last
paper condition setup - You should perform paper condition setup" appears 10 days later.
If you do not perform paper condition setup for the currently used magazine, the feedback of
master magazine data does not apply to the currently used magazine.

17. LP1500SC/LP2000SC TIMER STOP ERRORS

<Contents>

In the event that any of the following listed errors occurs when the LP1500SC/LP2000SC (printer) is
started by the timer, the system stops the timer operation and turns off the power to the printer.
However, if the SP1500/SP2000 (scanner) is started by the timer after printer turn-off, the timer will
start the printer again. If the same error that caused the termination of the printer timer operation
occurs again, the power will again be turned off.
When the error does not arise after the printer restarts, the system will automatically restart
temperature control mistakenly. In that case, the shop's operator may attribute the problem to a
mere delay in the temperature control of the processing solution because both the scanner and the
printer are turned on. Since the problem is caused not by a processing solution temperature
control failure but by an error in the printer, appropriate countermeasures should be taken to correct
the error.

<Error Messages>

After the printer starts at 7:00, an error "laser temperature adjustment outside specified range"
occurs around 7:30.
→ The printer turns off. → The printer turns on at the same time the scanner turns on at 9:00.
→ Both the scanner and the printer are on when the operator comes to the shop at 9:30.
→ The only problem is that the processing solution temperature is inadequate. (This problem is
caused by the error "laser temperature adjustment outside specified range.")
This error is not recorded in the error log. The error is not logged unless the printer turns on
and the scanner timer drive is reset.

18. PRINTER SECTION INTERLOCK SWITCH CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTIONS

<Contents>

The construction and functions of the interlock switches for detecting the condition (opened or closed
state) of the printer section doors in the LP1500SC/LP2000SC are explained below.
There may be cases in which even when the printer section door is not open, a W-2430 or W-2431
error occurs and it is difficult to locate the cause of the error. In such a case, adequate measures
should be taken with reference to the information given below.

<Explanation>

The switches which open and close in accordance with the printer section doors act as safety
interlock switches. They are divided into two groups, those for use in system A and others for use
in system B, as shown in Table 1. In System A, the three detectors (switches) are connected in
series with one another. In System B, the five detectors (eight switches) are connected in series
with one another. The printer control board (CTL20) judges the conditions of systems A and B
based on the conditions of the two 24 V power systems (24V1 and 24V2 systems), which open or
close the detector switches, to produce an error message. For all the doors except the magazine
section door, two detector circuits are provided for each location.

[Table 1] System A System B

Distribution section door detection - D584A and B
Exposure section front cover detection - D585A and B
Control power supply 24V1 system 24V2 system

1. Relation with the Power Supply


If any one of the magazine section door (D580), lower side door (D581A), and middle side door
(D582A) in system A is opened, then the detection switch opens, turning off the 24V1 system.
If any one of the lower side door (D581B), middle side door (D582B), upper side door (D583A and
B), distribution section door (D584A and B), and exposure section front cover (D585A and B) in
system B is opened, then the detection switch opens, turning off the 24V2 system.
As can been seen from the Table 1, both of the 24V1 and 24V2 systems turn off when one or more
of the lower side door and middle side door is opened.

2. Relation with Error Messages


Printer section door-related errors are the following three.
(1) W-2429 "Magazine section door open. Close it. Processing paper fogged."
(This message appears if the magazine section door is opened during paper processing.)
(2) W-2430 "Magazine section door open. Close it."
(This message appears if the magazine section door is opened while an operation other than
printing is being performed.)
(3) W-2431 "Printer section door open. Close it."
(This message appears if a door other than that in the magazine section is opened.)
The conditions in which any of these errors occur are associated with the conditions of the interlock
switches, as shown in Table 2.

As is clear from the above table, the opened condition of D580 (magazine section door) can be
detected only when system A is OFF and system B is ON. This makes it possible to judge that the
magazine section door is open despite the fact that the interlock system A is common to D581A and
D582A. Therefore, pre-cutting will not be performed where no need arises.

(Reference)
A two-series-circuit construction is adopted for the upper side door (D583A and B), distribution
section door (D584A and B), and exposure section front cover (D585A and B) because of the need to
conform to the safety requirements for laser-incorporated devices.

19. CROSSOVER RACK REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

<Contents>

Please instruct users to observe the following precautions in removing or installing the crossover
rack at the time of periodic inspection and maintenance.

[Removal]
Lift the crossover rack straight up until the whole of it is exposed to view.

Important: Never pull the crossover rack in the forward direction when it is slightly raised. If this
precaution is not followed, the cleaning nozzle or the rubber joint may be broken.

¡ ×

[Installation]
Align the rubber joint with the auto-cleaning hole and push the crossover rack until it clicks.

Important: Check the rubber joint for breakage, and also check if the crossover rack is properly
installed. Improper installation of the crossover rack may cause a paper jam or rubber
joint breakage.

Rubber Joint
Auto-cleaning Hole

<Information>

1. Note that there are two different types of automatic cleaning rubber joints.
Important: - If the rubber joint for the SFA232/238/248 is mistakenly used for Frontier, the drive
power may not be properly transmitted
due to floating of the crossover rack,
thereby causing a paper jam.
- If the rubber joint for Frontier is With two With three humps
humps
mistakenly used for the
SFA232/238/248, automatic cleaning
may not be performed properly.

Technical Information

2. When mounting the rubber joint in its position, properly orient it. Observe this precaution when
you attach the rubber joint to the automatic cleaning nozzle.

Important: - If a crossover rack is set in position while the rubber joint is reversely oriented, the
crossover rack lifts several millimeters above its normal position, thereby causing
a paper jam.

20. PROCESSING RACK UPPER GUIDE CLEANING

<Contents>

If the emulsion side of the paper is scratched in the processor, clean the crossover and processing
racks. When washing the processing racks, also clean their upper guides.

* In particular, the upper guides for the PS3 and PS4 racks should be cleaned carefully.

(Upper Guide)

<Reason>

If a processing solution or dirt adheres to the upper guide for a processing rack, the paper may
suffer scuffing when it comes into contact with the adherent.

The problem of paper scratching in some cases may not be eliminated even after the crossover and
processing racks are cleaned. This phenomenon is attributable to the presence of adherents which
have failed to be removed from the upper guides.

<Supplementary Remarks>

To remove adherents from the upper guides, it is necessary to remove them from the processing
racks before cleaning.

Because of the construction of the processing racks, the adherents on the upper guides cannot be
removed by the normal procedure for rack cleaning at the time of periodic maintenance.

* For the upper guide removal procedure, refer to Subsection 19.1.2 of the Service Manual under
"Processing Rack Upper Guide Disassembly/Re-assembly."

NOTE: Check to be sure that "MENU465 Evaporation Correction" is set to "YES."
