How to Connect the DC-646 to Your Computer

Prepare an USB 2.0 Cable (A/B 4-pin).
Plug the USB terminals into the USB port of the DC-646 and the USB port on your computer.
USB cable must be within 3 m long.

REFERENCE

Do not connect the DC-646 to your computer until the driver of the PC Controller is installed.

Before Preparing a Document

The DC-646 can save up to 250 patterns of JOB. JOB contents can be programmed either via
computer or on the control panel. This section describes items required to program a JOB.

SLIT: The DC-646 has six slitters. Two slitters (1, 2) are for the margins and the remaining four

slitters are for the center area of the document.

CUT: There is a guillotine cutter that performs cuts perpendicular to the document feed direction.

The DC-646 can cut up to 30 cuts on one document.

CREASE: There is a creaser that performs creases perpendicular to the document feed direction.

The DC-646 can crease up to 20 creases on one document.

REG Mark (Registration mark)

The DC-646 automatically compensates for image drift, one of the common problems on digital
printers. It detects the image drift caused on each page by reading a REG mark with the built-in
laser sensor and adjusts the cut/slit/crease position accordingly.
When using a REG mark, enter the REG mark position in a JOB and set
To use this function, each document must have a REG mark printed on it. Please refer to the

If there are scratches or stains in the printing range of the REG mark, the position may not

be corrected. When the read side of the document is rough and glossy, the CCD scanner

Barcode (Automatic JOB selection)

By adding barcode which indicates a JOB number on each document, the DC-646 automatically
sets up the machine and starts the JOB. An operator can press the START key and leave.
Even if multiple types of JOBs are loaded on the
barcode on documents also with the built-in CCD scanner and automatically switches setup and

Programming a JOB on the Control Panel

The DC-646 can save up to 250 patterns of JOBs.
This chapter describes how to program and change a JOB on the control panel of the DC-646.

Make sure to read the procedure carefully to program a JOB properly.

Before programming a JOB, accurately measure the positions of slits, cuts and creases in mm/
inch.

Slitter: There are a total of six slitters. Two slitters are for the right and left margins and four

slitters cuts the document.

Cutter: There is a guillotine cutter that performs cuts perpendicular to the document feed

direction. The DC-646 can cut up to 30 cuts on one document.

Creaser: There is a creaser that performs creases perpendicular to the document feed

direction. The DC-646 can crease up to 20 positions on one document.

The DC-646 provides two programming modes, the

Programming a JOB for DC-646 Via Computer (PC Controller)

What is PC Controller?

PC Controller is a software used to program a JOB for the DC-646 on your computer.
Installation of this software enables the user to program and edit JOBs for the DC-646, with
preview image of the document, as well as save JOB data and execute a JOB from the
computer.

Before Installation

The following computer specifi cations are necessary to run the PC Controller.

• CPU: 1 GHz or faster

• Display resolution: 1200x768 pixel or more

• RAM: 1 GB or more

• Free hard-disk space: 500 MB or more

• Operating system: Windows 8.1 (32bit/64bit)
Windows 10 (32bit/64bit)

• Interface: USB 2.0 Full speed

• CD-ROM drive: (Used for installing the PC Controller)

• USB cable: Type AB, 3 m or shorter

IMPORTANT

●

WindowsInstaller is not installed in some operating systems and an error may occur when

the PC Controller is installed.
In this case, it is required to install the latest WindowsInstaller by downloading via network,
or install it by using the install program of WindowsInstaller in the PC Controller install disk.

● How to install WindowsInstaller by using the PC Controller install disk.

1. Open

2. Double-click

3. Follow the instructions of the installer for installation.

\Setup\WindowsInstaller3 1

WindowsInstaller-KB893803-v2-x86.exe

folder.

.

REFERENCE

Do not connect the computer and the DC-646 before the driver of the PC Controller is
installed.

78

PC Controller Installation Procedure

IMPORTANT

● Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 allow multiple users on one computer at the same time.
Please make sure that only one user is logged in when the PC Controller is installed.

● If you are requested to enter a password of administrator account during installation of
the PC Controller, enter the password of the user with administrative rights shown.

● The following instructions use the screenshots appeared on Windows 10. If you are
using Windows 8.1, the screenshots vary.

● If you upgrade the PC Controller, the data (*.M646, *.Am646, *.Jm646) that has been

saved or modified is deleted from the installation folder (ex.: C:\Duplo Seiko Corp\
DC-646 PC Controller V1.XX) of the previous version. Back up the data before upgrading
the PC Controller if necessary.

After installing the new version of the PC Controller, the installation folder (ex.: C:\

Duplo Seiko Corp\DC-646 PC Controller V1.XX) of the previous version remains. It is
recommended that you delete the folder manually. (The upgraded PC Controller works
correctly even if the folder is not deleted.)
