Tests Procedure for the First Machine Operation or After New Software Installation 1. Use the predefined paper configuration s or set up configurations as required. See Paper Configurations in Chapter 4. 2. Define the master paper. (This is the paper style most frequently used in the lab.
Operator’s Guide Daily Calibration with the MBL Print the MBL directly after system startu p (a s so on as the chemicals ha ve reached their nominal temperatur es) and repeat once or twi ce during the day. For an MBL, the master paper must always be inserted.
Tests Calibration of New Paper, Emulsi on Changes, or Correction of a Paper Channel (Not Master Paper) 1. Print an MBL. This provides for a calibrat ed condition of the system.
Operator’s Guide Scanner Calibration PIKO The scanner pixel corre ction (PIKO) proce s s: • Calibrates th e light path of the lamp up to the CCD • Balances the pixel sen sitivi t y of the CCD fo.
Tests To start PIKO manually: 1. Check that the film ma sk is inserted an d empty. 2. Touch: • Test • Start PIKO If the system automat ically initiates PI K O during production, check the conditi on of the print lamp.
Operator’s Guide Testing the Paper Processor To maintain or restore optimum proce ssing quality, the chemicals o f the paper processor sh ould be checked ever y day by means o f the pre-exposed co ntrol strips.
Tests 4. Touch: • Test • Control strip • Chemical control strip You receive a prompt to insert the chemi cal control strip. 5. Place the control strip box i n the holde r provided for this in the lower area of the lane distributor. 6. Close the printer door.
