1.2

Room Conditions

For normal and safe operation, install the machine in the following environment.

● Temperature: 15

°

C to 28

°

C (Free from moisture condensation)

If the temperature in the room is over 28

°

C or under 15

°

C, proper printing quality may not be assured. At low temperatures, the machine takes a long time to start printing or errors may occur.

When a cold room is warmed rapidly, water droplets are formed inside the machine (moisture condensation), causing donor/receiver jamming or print quality deterioration. Use the machine in a place not subject to sharp changes in the temperature.

● Humidity: 30%RH to 70%RH

If the humidity in the room is over 70%RH, a transfer error may occur in the donor or receiver, or the receivers may become damp, causing print quality deterioration. Do not install the machine in a place near a water tap, boiler, humidifier, air conditioner, or heater. And always keep the room humidity at 30%RH to 70%RH.

● Ventilation

Make sure the installation site is well-ventilated and not dusty.

IMPORTANT: A dusty environment may cause spotting* on the picture surface.

●

●

●

●

If the machine, donor, or receiver magazine is subject to direct sunlight, light from electronic flash, or strong reflected light, use curtains or blinds to avoid this.

NOTE: A strong light may cause fogging**.

The installation site must be free of ammonia, formalin, and sulfurous acid vapor. Such vapors will cause a deterioration in printing quality and rust on the machine.

Do not place volatile combustibles, such as thinner or alcohol, near the machine.

Make sure the installation room floor is level, stable, capable of withstanding the machine weight, and not subject to strong vibration. Each caster can withstand a weight of about 30 kg.

* Spotting: White dots

** Fogging: Print discoloration caused by extraneous light on the photo-sensitive material (donor).

Electrical Hookup

● Connect the power plug directly into a 120V

±

10V, 60 Hz grounded outlet (3-pin) which has a power rating of 15 A or more.

WARNING: ● DO NOT USE a two-pin power outlet which is not grounded, as an electrical shock may result when short circuiting occurs.

● Use the indicated power supply voltage only. Never use an extension cord with an inadequate rating. If such a cord is used, abnormal heat generation, smoke or other abnormal phenomena may occur.

● Perform the following checks on a periodic basis.

●

Make sure the power plug is properly inserted into a dedicated power outlet.

●

●

Check the power plug and cable for abnormal heat generation.

Make sure the power cable is not cracked or damaged.

1.5 Donors and Receivers

● When storing the donor (the donor magazine) or receiver (the receiver magazine), place it in a horizontal position. If stored in an upright position, the donor/receiver roll may become loose and impossible to pull out of the magazine.

IMPORTANT: If a sealed donor magazine/receiver magazine is left in a room for a long period or in a hot and damp place, good printing quality may not be obtained. The magazine must be stored in a cool, dark place not exposed to direct sunlight. If the magazine will be stored for longer than one month, storage at

10

°

C, 60%RH or less is recommended.

●

●

●

●

●

When unsealing the donor (or the donor magazine), make sure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.

After a magazine is unsealed, it must not be placed on the floor or in a dusty location as deterioration in print quality may result.

If the inner door of the donor magazine compartment (see (13) in 2.1) is open, the donor leading edge will be exposed to extraneous light.

After a magazine is unsealed, it should be immediately inserted into the machine. If a donor magazine is left in a bright place for extended periods of time, the donor will be exposed to extraneous light and become unusable.

Prepare a magazine for each size of donor and receiver used. The donor is photosensitive.

Once a donor roll is inserted in a magazine, it cannot be replaced with another donor roll. It is also recommended that the receiver not be replaced after insertion into a magazine, otherwise deterioration in print quality may result.

IMPORTANT: ● To assure good print quality, it is recommended that the donor/receiver be used within one month after unsealing.

● If the machine is not to be used for a period of longer than one week, take the donor and receiver magazines out of the machine and store them in a cool dark place. Also empty the water bottle.

8


● When storing an unsealed magazine (D or R), place it in a cool dark place.

It is recommended that the donor/receiver leading end be retained with a rubber band to prevent it from being wound into the magazine. Do not tape down the donor/receiver leading edge because residual tape adhesive may adhere to the edge, contaminating the donor/receiver and causing a malfunction.

1

Rubber band

●

●

● When using donor magazine/receiver magazine stored under refrigeration, allow it to rise to room temperature before taking it out of the inner bag to prevent moisture condensation.

Use the donor/receiver before the expiration date.

When the donor is replaced or is used for more than one month, the print color balance and density may change. You should therefore, perform a calibration (see page 61).

The production number and expiration date are indicated here.

●

●

● The refuse (used donor) retains negative images. Any refuse containing confidential data should be shredded and properly disposed of as industrial waste (see page 38).

When storing finished prints, keep them out of direct sunlight.

The quality of the prints is affected by various environmental conditions (heat, humidity, light, and air pollution).

Recommended storage conditions

●

●

Store with good ventilation at 25

°

C, 30%RH to 60%RH

Store at 10

°

C or less, 30%RH to 50%RH when storing for long periods

● When stacking prints, use care to prevent the image surfaces coming into contact with each other because color dye transfer may occur.

9


● Image quality is guaranteed over the entire sheet except for a 0.2- in. (5-mm) boarder along each sides (0.24 in, (6 mm) in the case of Double Letter wide sheets).

0.2in. (5mm)

(0.24in. (6mm) for Double Letter wide sheets)

0.2in. (5mm)

(0.24in. (6mm) for Double Letter wide sheets)

●

●

The trailing end of the receiver has an end-detection hole. Therefore, the last print produced at the end of a receiver roll may have a hole in it. Such a print is not included in the guaranteed number of prints.

Prints containing the cut edge at the start of the receiver roll or the end-detection hole at the end of the roll are not included in the guaranteed number of prints.

Donor Magazine Replacement

●

●

There is a donor end detection hole on the trailing edge of the donor. When this hole is detected by the machine, the trailing edge is discharged as described below.

When the D LED (red) lamp comes on in the transfer monitor, replace the donor magazine.

When the D LED lamp blinks, it means that the amount of remaining donor is equal to that for the specified number of copies.

IMPORTANT:

● If the donor or receiver magazine is left in a room or in hot and damp place for a long time, deterioration in print quality may result. Store the magazines in a cool dark place away from direct sunlight. When stored for over a month, keep them at 10

°

C, 60%RH or less.

●

●

Do not open the inner door of the donor magazine with the power OFF ( ). The first donor sheet will be exposed to extraneous light, which may result in abnormal print production.

The image on the last print obtained after the end of the donor is detected may not be normally formed.

●

●

After donor replacement, be sure to perform the calibration (standard color condition setup).

(See page 61.)

Once the donor roll is inserted in the magazine, do not remove it from the magazine or replace it with another. The donor may become fogged, preventing the production of proper prints.

NOTE: If magazine D is not set in position, turn the power ON (



) and perform the following procedure from step 4.

Pictrography 4500N Color Adjustment

The Pictrography 4500N is equipped with the functions for calibration, color control, and color matching.

To ensure optimum performance on the Pictrography 4500N, each of these functions should be fully understood.

● Calibration function

Maintains the color conditions on the main unit at the optimum level. (See page 62.)

● Color control function

Controls the colors and densities on the monitor screen so that they match those of the finished prints. The setup value depends on the monitor screen set conditions.

Example: If the monitor screen is set at high brightness, the actual image data will be darker than it should be, as well as the prints produced from the image data.

In such a case, the brightness of the print colors can be increased with the color control function so that they match the tone on the screen.

The color control function provides the following adjustments. When making prints on the

Pictrography 4500N, make the adjustments as needed.

●

●

●

Brightness:

Contrast:

Adjusts the brightness of the finished prints. (See page 64.)

Adjusts the contrast of the finished prints. (See page 65.)

Color balance: Adjusts the color balance of the finished prints. (See page 65 for red, page 66 for green, and page 66 for blue.)

IMPORTANT: The above adjustments easily affect one another. Always monitor the overall color balance when adjusting.

● Color matching function

Matches the colors and density of the monitor screen to those of the finished prints. (See page

67.)

4.12

Color Adjustment Procedures

■ Steps to follow

Function Item

Calibration

Color matching

On/Off selection

Brightness/contrast adjustment

Color balance adjustment

Corrects the exposure system's characteristics and donor sensitivity so that printing is performed under constant conditions.

Purpose When to adjust

- When the donor has been replaced

- When 1 month or more has elapsed since the last calibration

- Before starting the color control adjustment

Selects the proper color matching function for the purpose.

Adjusts the brightness/contrast, at time of machine installation or when the monitor setting has been changed.

Adjusts the color balance when the colors on the monitor screen do not match those of the finished prints.

As a basic procedure, it is recommended that the adjustments be performed in the following order: brightness, contrast and color balance.

When the colors are unbalanced to a great extent, the adjustment work may be more efficiently performed in the following order: rough adjustment of brightness, adjustment of color balanced, fine adjustment of all parameters.

4

IMPORTANT:

● Before making adjustments using the color control function, perform the calibration to make sure that the machine is in appropriate condition.

●

●

The color control function may be used to produce prints in desired colors. After using the function for that purpose, be sure to restore the normal settings for the next use.

The sample image used for color matching should be one with easily identifiable transitions

● between colors and gray balance. If the sample image is biased towards particular colors, the color adjustment will also be biased towards those colors, resulting in inappropriate color reproduction when printing other images.

When accurate color matching is required, note the following:

●

It the temperature was low during the night, let the machine stand for about 1 hour after

● power-on before starting printing.

If the room temperature has changed more than 5

°

C, repeat the calibration process.

61

4.13

Calibration (Standard Color Condition Setup)

The printer itself can be adjusted to provide consistent prints. Perform a calibration (standard color condition setup) whenever the donor is changed, or within one month after the last calibration.
