3. High print quality

A new, originally-developed superfine thermal head gives beautifully accurate reproductions of fine print and halftone photographs. Resolution is 400dpi in the DP-43E/S,and DP-33E/S.

Resolution is 300dpi in the DP-31E/S.

4. Simple operation

In the E series, a touch panel provides simple operation. In the S series, operation is simplified by concealing occasionally-used keys under a panel, leaving just the basic function keys permanently accessible.

5. Fine Start Mode

This mode automatically sets optimum values for the following start conditions: timing of ink roller actuation during platemaking, number of no-paper rotations with the ink roller actuated. These optimum settings

are based on the room temperature

, the length of time the printer was out of use, and the number of prints last time it was used. They ensure clear printing right from the first sheet.

*3: Room temperature of 10ºC or below can cause

insufficient ink supply, even in Fine Start Mode.

6. High-performance lamp

A long-life, high-brightness xenon arc lamp is used to illuminate the documents. Since the lamp's intensity is not affected by tem-

perature variation temperatures is greatly enhanced

*4: The lamp is filled with xenon gas, which means

that it does not require heat to vaporize mercury, as a fluorescent lamp does, and therefore its intensity does not vary with temperature.

*5: Increased viscosity of the ink at low tempera-

tures results in fainter printing than at normal temperatures.

ySelf-diagnosis

The machines have self-diagnostic functions. Messages for self-diagnosed errors, as well as consumable part replacement prompt messages, appear on an LCD panel.

uDocument modes

To the pre-existing Text and Photograph Modes have been added the "Text-Photograph", "Text-Fine Lettering", "Photograph-Fine Lettering", "Screen 1 & 2" and "Photo Dark" Modes, accommodating printing of a wider variety of documents.

Text-Photograph Mode:

Intermediate between the Text and Photograph Modes, this Mode is for documents with mixed photographs and text.

Text-Fine Lettering Mode:

Emphasizes letter outlines more than the regular Text Mode, providing better reproducibility of fine lettering.

Photograph-Fine Lettering Mode:

Emphasizes shape outlines more than the regular Photograph Mode, providing better reproducibility of fine lines.

Screen Modes 1 & 2:

Add dots to images produced by the Photograph Mode, to bring out the contrast. Mode 1 uses larger dots than Mode 2.

Photo Dark Mode:

Increases the number of gradations in bright halftone portions of images produced by the Photograph Mode, to prevent over-bright reproduction of bright documents.

vMechanism

The machine carries out the processes of “platemaking” and “printing.”

Platemaking

In the “platemaking” process, the old master on the drum is removed while the thermal head creates the scanned image on the new master and transfers it onto the drum.

Chap.1 v Mechanism

Printing

In the “printing” process, paper separated from the stack by the paper feed roller and the paper separator unit is pressed against the drum unit by the press roller. There are small holes over only the image area of the master that is attached to the drum, and ink that seeps from these holes is transferred to the paper. The paper is then peeled from the master by the paper stripper finger and the top blow fan. The paper is directed onto the paper ejection belt by a fan unit and discharged from the machine.

Chap.1 b Master

bMaster

1) Characteristics of the master

(1) Structure of the thermal master

(2) Functions and materials of the layers

Coated surface …… Prevents the film from fusing, being damaged due to friction,being peeled,

and being conveyed defectively due to electric static charge.

Material: silicon fluorine mold lubricant

Thermal film …… Holes are made by the heat of the thermal head.

Material: Polyethylene terephthalate (polyester)

Adhesive ………… 1] Adheres the film to the base.

2] Does not prevent ink from seeping. 3] Increases impression endurance.

Base ……………… 1] Base material for the master. Fibrous layer

2] Ink seeps the base.

(3) Cross section of the master during platemaking

Holes are made on the coated surface, thermal film and adhesive, while base fiber, base material

for the master, is left. A part of the film fused by the thermal head is stuck to the head or banks up.

(4) Printed image

As the image consists of innumerable dots, it is taken as a continuous line through our eye.

INPORTANT :

•Precautions to be taken in dealing in the master. (1) Do not put a heavy thing on the box in which masters are packed.

•This may damage the master and may cause defective platemaking.

(2) Do not leave the master as it is after it is taken out.

•Foreign objects are stuck to the master and this may cause defective platemaking.

(3) Keep the master from direct sunlight, too high or low temperature and too high or low humidity.

(Desirable storage temperature and humidity: 5-35 °C, 20-80%)

• If the master curls, defective plate attachment may occur.

Chap.1 n Ink

nInk

1) Characteristics of ink

(1) Ink for the digital printer is an emulsion type. It has a water-in-oil type structure.

(2) The surface active agent has two characteristics: hydrophilic group and lipophilic group in one molecule.

Oil and water bond together by these two characteristics as shown in the figure.

(3) Ink (3) Ink viscosity is high at a low temperature and it is low at a high temperature. So when ink is used at a

low temperature (10°C or less), the amount of ink transferred to the paper is smaller and the print

darkness is slightly lighter.

When ink is used at a high temperature (30°C or more), the amount of ink transferred to the paper is

larger and the print darkness is slightly darker.

INPORTANT :

• Precautions to be taken in handling ink (1) Storage environment

• When an emulsion type ink is stored at too high or low temperature for a long time, oil and water in the

ink pack may be isolated. Keep the ink from too high or low temperature (5°C or less, 35°C or more).

Also keep the ink from direct sunlight since the temperature rises sharply in the direct sunlight.

• When the water content is frozen, the water content is solidified and the bond characteristics decreases.

• When ink is stored at a high temperature, the bond characteristics decreases due to the change of the surface conditions (surface tension, solubility). The bond characteristics also decreases due to evaporatin

of the water content.

(2) Precautions to be taken in handling the ink pack

• When the ink pack is removed from the drum unit to store, put the ink pack with its mouth up, screw the cap firmly after expelling air from the ink tube. (If air is in the ink pack, water content is generated.)

The document is illuminated with the lamps, and the document reflection in proportion to the document image darkness is imaged at the CCD through the mirror lens. Then it is resoluted into picture elements and is converted photoelectrically. Optical driving of illuminating the document is the same for the document placed on the ADF and for the document placed on the plate glass.

Optical operation

2The optical system goes forward (to the right) or backward with a stop position of PS1 (Stop position sen-

sor).

2PS2 detects opening and closing of the document cover and is used to read the document size and darkness.

2When the ADF is attached, the optical system does not read the document size since data for the document size is

received from the ADF.

1) When the document cover is opened (PS2: photopassing) with the system in the standby state, the lamp lights up, and the optical system moves to the document size reading position. When it reaches this position, the lamp goes out and the system returns to the standby state.

2) When the document cover is closed again (after having been opened in the standby state) (PS2: photointerrupting), the lamp lights up and the document size is read. When the document size is read, the optical system immediately moves to the right and reads the document darkness. When document darkness reading is complete, the lamp goes out, but the optical system decelerates, then stops. Following that, the optical system moves left and returns to the home position. The system is then in the standby state.

3) When the PLATEMAKING key is pressed with the system in the standby state, the lamp lights up and the system moves to the image reading start position. When it reaches this position, the system stops momentarily, and the lamp goes out and comes on again, very rapidly. (This happens so rapidly that it cannot be observed with the naked eye.) Then the scanner moves to the right and reads the image. When image reading is complete, the lamp goes out, but the optical system decelerates, then stops. Following that, the optical system moves left and returns to the home position. The system is then on standby for the printing process.

When the document cover is opened at a certain angle, the document cover sensor changes to be in the state of photopassing.

The lamps lights up, the optical system moves to the document size reading position (about 30 mm from the top end of the document) and stops. The lamps light out.

When the document cover is closed at a certain angle, the document cover sensor changes to be in the state of photointerrupting.

The lamps light up and the document size is read.

The optical system moves, and senses the document darkness. The movement distance is determined according to the document size sensed.

The lamps light out and the optical system decreases the speed, stops and returns to the home position.

1. Reading the Document Size

2The document size is read by detecting the photo amount. The reverse face of the document cover is white.

When the document cover is opened at a certain angle, the lamp light reaches the CCD as reflection light at the document area. As there is no reflection light where the document is not placed, non-document area is detected as "black" at the CCD.

The position which changes from black to white is detected as document size. Whether the document is

placed in the lateral direction or in the longitdinal direction is not detected since the primary scanning direction is only detected.

2In this machine, the paper size is read as follows:

(1) The document darkness sensing area is determined. (2) In the auto paper selection mode, the paper is selected based on the document size and zoom factor. (3) In the auto zoom mode, the zoom factor is selected based on the document size and paper size.

2When the ADF is installed, data on the document size is sent from the ADF. The main body does not read

the document size.

2. Reading the Document Darkness

2The optical system goes forward to read

the document darkness immediately after the document size is read.

2The area over which darkness is sensed is

determined according to the document size sensed.

Platemaking Area for the Book Shadow Erasing Mode

When the platemaking is performed in the book shadow erasing mode, the platemaking area is limited 3 mm inner than the normal platemaking area as shown in the figure. 15mm is left in the central section (stitching section).

* During multiple image printing or when paper size is set to A4, the book shadow erasing mode can not

be used.

Platemaking Area for the Selected Paper

2The platemaking area varies depending on the selected paper size as shown below.

Operation

Sensor plate for the PS1 is installed to slider A, optical system. The home position of the optical system is the position where the PS1 is photointerrupted.

As shading is conducted at the home position, the shading plate is in alignment with the center line of the mirror at the home position. The shape of the vertical size nameplate is different depending on whether the ADF is installed or not. But the home position is the same.

Description

The home position sensor detects the original position for the optical system.

xPlatemaking / Master Feed / Ejection Section

Make the master clump of the drum unit clump the master top end, performing platemaking on the master with the thermal head. (In this machine, the master on the drum is ejected at the same time when platemaking is performed.) The master is conveyed to the drum unit via the platen roller and sponge rollers 1 and 2 by driving of the stepping motor, while it is being processed in the head section. Sponge roller 2 is driven through the master feeding clutch (electromagnetic clutch), and controls the amount of master conveyed to the master clump section of the drum unit with the master feeding clutch ON / OFF. The end mark sensor starts to detect when the end mark (black) section printed on the end of the roll master is conveyed. "CHANGE MASTER" is displayed on the error display panel. The endmark sensor also detects whether the master is conveyed properly through the sensor.
