Introduction to the Imagesetter

The imagesetter uses laser optics to output onto film or polyester plates. Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3 does not require computer experience to operate. During normal use, once exposure starts, there is no need for operator intervention since all functions are performed automatically.

The Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3 handles high-volume film output of color and black-and-white pages of text and graphics, and processes this data to produce high-quality film output.

Media can be exposed in single or multiple runs continuously, without operator intervention.

Procedures for film exposure are controlled by the Dolev 800V+/800V

micro controller.

800V

A punch option allows you to define customized registration marks. This function is especially important when preparing film for impositioning.

The film is automatically cut, exposed and unloaded into a removable output cassette. At the completion of a work session, the cassette is taken to a film processor for development. An optional internal conveyor and inline processor can be used for continuous film development.

The Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3 changes the way images for plateimposition are prepared. Instead of using time consuming step-and-repeat machines, Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3 prepares plate-ready separation films to copy directly to plate. Files are transferred from the workstation to the imagesetter and exposed to the film. The film is then transferred to the plate department.

You access the media setup functions by moving through a tree-like series of menus on the host computer screen. All the functions can also be accessed through the imagesetter Control Panel.

The Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3 has an automatic media setup mechanism. Once the supply cassette is inserted, performing the Set Loading procedure (via the Control Panel or the workstation) starts film loading.

The media is pulled between a set of rollers onto the exposure drum. The media is cut, and a vacuum system ensures that the media is held down on the inner drum surface.

Overview 37

During setup, the imagesetter cuts and ejects the first piece of media. This is done since a small piece of media was exposed to light when the cassette was carried from the darkroom.

The next step is to expose the media. You choose the file, the file resolution, and layout (these topics are covered in the user guide of the relevant host workstation).

The media is exposed and ejected. The ejected media is sent to the output cassette, or to an optional inline processor.

The Supply Cassettes

The three (3) Dolev 800V+/800V2/800V3 supply cassettes are used with medium to high contrast red sensitive light or line film, paper, or polyester plates.

The steps you follow when loading new exposure media:

• Unloading the supply cassette and taking it to the darkroom.

• Mounting media onto the supply cassette.

• Loading the supply cassette into the imagesetter.

• Performing Set Loading and Cassette Sign In.

Using Two Large Cassettes

The option to use two Large cassettes enables higher efficiency.

To use 2 large cassettes, do the following:

• Remove the small and medium cassettes as well as the separator plate

in between them.

• Load film into another large cassette.

• Place new large cassette where the small and medium cassette were.

• Change the mode in the machine to Two Large Cassettes.

• From the workstation, configure the Dolev again.

5. Depending on your processor, you receive a signal from the processor

when you are allowed to feed each subsequent film. When you have fed the last film into the processor and received the signal that the feed is complete, you may unlock the door.

Note: Be sure to check the bottom and sides of the cassette carefully for any film that may have slid into the base of the cassette.

6. Load the output cassette back into the imagesetter, and close the

output cassette door.

The Punch System

Creo offers a leading edge, customer-defined punch system for the

Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3.

The punch system is used by printers to eliminate the need for mounting film to carrier sheets, manual registration and punching.

A maximum of 10 punch assemblies can be installed in the imagesetter width direction, on the right flange of the Dolev 800V+/800V

/800V3

drum.

To assist Creo and the customer in the punch system definition, Punched Film Layout form has been prepared. The customer and the Creo engineer should complete all requested values on this form.

Note: Since numerous configurations are available and some restrictions exist (such as, minimum hole distances, hole size, and hole placement relative to the exposed area), Creo assists in the punch system definition. This ensures that all details regarding the customer's punch system are transmitted to the local Creo experts.

Based on the information which is gathered, Creo prepares a confirmation drawing for customer approval. This drawing is subsequently used by the Creo engineer when installing the punch system.

Note: Although filling the form is not a pre-requisite for ordering a punch system, the system can not be installed without the customer-approved confirmation drawing supplied by Creo.

Punch System Design and Operation

The moving part of the punch assembly is the unit. It can be either in the

OUT position or in the IN (punching) position.

The moveable cutting blade of the punch is the either in the

OUT position or in the IN position.

rod. Like the unit, it can be

Both rod and unit are activated by air cylinders. There are two doubleaction air cylinders (not spring-activated) per punch assembly. The punch system therefore requires a continuous, external air pressure supply for operation.

An additional operation of every punch assembly is the ejection of used film slugs from the system. Three blasts of compressed air are used to achieve this

The film slugs are collected into a large black hose, located near the unloading cassette. You should empty this hose 2 to 4 times per month.

Note: This operation is performed following the film punch, and before moving the punch rod to its OUT position.

The following describes a typical punching sequence:

52 Chapter 3 – Media Management

Punch Calibration

The calibration of the punch system should be done only after the exposable area is calibrated.

1. After installing the punch system, expose a full format with punch

requested, without alignment to punch (AutoArrange or Single with alignment "none" ).

2. Check that the file is still exposed entirely after the punch system is

installed. If not, repeat exposable area calibration.

3. Check that the central punch hole is exactly at the position across the

center of the file. If not, calibrate the punch central hole.

4. Only after the central hole of the punch system is calibrated to the full

format center, continue with the rest of the punch-system's calibration. After calibration is complete, check again exposure of a full format file and the location of its center in relation to the punch system.

5. Start the punch pivot calibration by setting the punch pivot to 820 H

(Center Height), 558 W (Center Width) [NVM screen, Cri, Service Tables, Punch Settings]. Drag a full format file on an expose template, request bottom-center alignment to the punch with a -10,0 mm offset from pivot [job ticket launcher, expose dialog, punch subdialog].

a. If the Brisque announces that the file exceeds the exposable area

on the left or right side, add/subtract to the punch W pivot setting (in the plotter) according to the message.

b. Initiate the plotter configuration dialog, press the "punch" button

in the dialog and check that the punch pivot is identical to the pivot value entered in the plotter.

c. If the Brisque announces that the file exceeds the exposable area

on the top or bottom side, change the alignment of the file now requesting bottom-center alignment, with a -10± (exceeding value), 0 mm offset from punch pivot.

d. Repeat the exposure of the file.

e. Check again that the punch central hole is exactly at the requested

offset from the file's bottom center. If not, adjust the punch pivot setting accordingly. Repeat exposure after initiating the plotter configuration dialog and check offset again.

• If the laser intensity is too high, thin lines may become too thick and

small text may be covered. In addition, the life of the laser is shortened.

To calibrate laser intensity, perform the following steps for each exposure resolution:

1. Prepare exposure strips.

2. Set an exposure resolution for the strips.

3. Expose the strips.

4. Use a densitometer to measure the density on the exposed strips of

film. Write down on paper the intensity used to expose the requested density max of film at

each resolution.

5. Record the new laser intensity values. Enter the intensity for each

plotter resolution into the Resolution Intensity Table.

6. Save the new laser intensity as a standard.
