Scope

This guide describes how to operate a KODAK VERSAMARK DP5000 series printer using the Remote Control Panel. The Remote Control Panel (RCP) is a hand-held device that allows an operator to configure the printing behavior of the printer and enables basic printer servicing without connecting a PC to the printer. The RCP is available as an option for the DP5120, DP5240, and DP5122 printers. The RCP can be used to perform the following operating procedures:

•Adjusting printhead phase and voltage

•Changing fluid system states in the clean, normal or purge tables

•Configuring printing behavior

•Configuring tach and cue settings

•Viewing the printer error log.

The RCP does not initiate printer operation and when it is connected, printer operating procedures are unchanged. The RCP allows the operator to do certain procedures while too far from the printer to reach the buttons on its fixed operator panel.

Some legacy OEM printer controllers require the operator to configure printing behavior at the printer. These controllers were designed for the obsolete 5000 printer (not the current DP5000 series printers). For configuration, the 5000 printer had an 4-button operator panel with LCD display. The RCP gives this configuration capability to the current DP5000 series printers that have a 13-button operator panel without display (see Figure 2 on page 3).

Remote Control Panel Procedures

Installation

Installation

The RCP is connected to the RS232 port on the back of the printer (see Figure 1) and is powered by that port. The printer provides power only when it is powered on. The RCP can remain attached during power-up and shutdown cycles, and can be connected or disconnected when the printer is powered on (hot plugged).

To install the cable to the remote control panel, carefully push the female plug snugly into position. Be very careful not to bend the pins. To connect the remote control panel to the printer, connect the serial port connector to the RS-232 port at the back of the printer.

Note: Once the cable is connected to the remote control, leave it connected.

When connecting and disconnecting, do so from the printer end only.
