Description/Explanation

33_1

The R type and R/W type are set. The monitoring interval of the perforation of 135/240 is shortened not to damage the film when a film jam occurs. As for the 240, the detection plate of the VEI sensor is changed to detect immediately if the rotation of the spool stops. The rewind sensor is added to the upper part of the rewind unit to detect a film jam when a film jam occurs in the rewind unit. The DX sensor of 240 is moved to the insertion side to be able to detect the FID of the film rear end side. The ready sensor is moved to the insertion side to detect the turn round perforation surely. The shutter for the panorama film is added to avoid the strong light from the unexposed part of 135P.

Explanation · To distinguish the R type from R/W type, open the AFC cover and see whether the read head is attached or not. Refer to the Service Manual [62150]. · Also, although this was not available initially, it has been possible to distinguish between the type R and the type R/W with the red round stickers on the upper part of the Magnetic Head Unit. Type R (with a red round sticker), Type R/W (without a red round sticker)

(Reference) Overview of Laser Safety Classes
Class Class1 Class1M Class2 Class2M Evaluation of danger Safe for normal operations, and not hazardous when optical instruments are used. Wavelength of the laser: 302.5nm to 4,000nm Same as Class 1, but potentially hazardous when optical instruments are used. Wavelength of the laser: 400nm to 700nm Safe for unintended exposure, but prolonged staring should be avoided. Naked eye is protected by blink reflex. Wavelength of the laser: 400nm to 700nm Same as Class 2, but potentially hazardous when optical instruments are used. Wavelength of the laser: 302.5nm to 106nm Potentially hazardous when eye is exposed. Hazardous when eye is exposed, but diffuse reflections are usually safe. Diffuse reflection may be hazardous.Hazardous to eye and skin, so protect them. Fire hazard.

Scanner LED light source
LED light source The LED light source consists of 5 colors LED, B, G, R1, R2, and IR. It is different from the halogen lamp. It is suitable for the scanner light source because it is unnecessary to replace, and it can change the light intensity of each color by changing the current value. Light source parts The light source parts are not consumable parts, so it is unnecessary to replace them.

Explanation · In the 120 film, the resolution of the image is constant, but the width [6] of [6 x #] is slightly different depending on each size on the basis of the 120 size standard. Therefore, even if you scan it at the same magnification, the resolution of image is to be the present size as a result, because the film width with image is different.

Explanation · The DIGITAL ICE deletes the dust or scratch, which is stuck to the film surface, automatically. · When the Digital Masking unit is installed, it is possible to delete the scratches such as the scratch reaches photosensitive from the protective coat. · However, it is impossible to delete the deep scratches such as the scratch reaches the red photosensitive from the protective coat or the scratch reaches the red photosensitive from the base layer. · The DIGITAL ICE does not function normally when a lot of silver is included in the part where the image is created, like in case of monochrome films and desilvering. · In the Kodachrome films, the effect of DIGITAL ICE is weak to the high density or low density of a film, and the scanned image will deteriorate. Turn OFF the function of DIGITAL ICE before printing. You can set the function of DIGITAL ICE ON or OFF in the "Operator Selections". (However, in case of monochrome film, the DIGITAL ICE is turned OFF automatically.) Note · It is not possible to remove fingerprints because the IR (the LED light source) cannot detect oil. · The "blurring caused by the roller pressure" cannot be corrected.

Colorimeter
Changes from the conventional machines · It is possible to set the maximum-sized paper in the Colorimeter without cutting it. · The calibration plate is built into the colorimeter. · When measuring test prints or calibration plate, they are touched to the colorimeter by using the pressure change solenoid. By doing so, the precision of color measuring is improved because they are less influenced by outside light.

Important · It is very important to clean the calibration plate because the gradation from white to black changes by the dirt on the plate. · Clean the calibration plate with a neutral detergent and water. The Maintenance Manual [Cleaning the Calibration plate]
