Chapter 1. First Things to Know About DPCS3000

Highlights of DPCS3000
DPCS3000 is a copying system used exclusively for making copies from a n encyclopedia, dictionary, or any other thick book. PS3000 reads the page or pages of an open bound original placed on its Original Table and Di30 prints the data on them. In ad dition to being capable of making a clear copy of texts, the system offers the Photo mode which produces a sharp copy out of a photo. Di30, which is used a s a printer for the system, can also be independently used as a digital PPC. It can be fitted with various options according to your particular needs. For more details, refer to Copier Overview on page 8 of Di30 Operators Manua l.

Precautions When Turning Power ON

When the DPCS3000 system is tu rned ON, PS3000 is activated as a sca nner. The Users Choice function of Di30 , however, allows for making a different setting whereby PS3000 may be ac tivated as otherwise. (For details, see 7. Users Choice on pp. 123-126 of Di30 Operators Manual.)
While Di30 is functioning as a digital PPC, PS3000 remains in the standby state with the message "" being shown on its Display Panel. If Di30 is in operation, such as while it is in a copy cycle when the application of Di30 is changed to a printer through key operations on PS3000, th e message "" appe­ars on the Display Panel of PS3000.
While Di30 is fun ction ing as a digital P PC, the Start Keys on P S3000 are l it up orange. They turn to green as soon as the application of Di30 is switched to the printer. At this time, the Display Panel shows the message "", etc.

Lamp Lighting

Lighting wi th Half Intensity
PS3000 lights its lamp with half intensity when it is turned ON or w hile any of its keys is being operat ed. The lamp is lit with half inte nsity when PS3000 is initialized or the menu is switched. It goes out one min. after the key has been operated. While the lamp remains lit, it is c ooled by a fan which is stopped one min. after the lamp has gone out.
Lighting with Full Intensity
The lamp is lit up with full intensity while the Scanner Unit is reading an original. It remains lit as long as the Scanner Unit reads the data. The period of time it remains lit varies with different original sizes. As soon as the Scanner Unit completes reading, the intensity of the lamp light is switched to half.
NOTE
NEVER gaze at the lamp whe n it i s lit wit h ful l in tens ity, as damaged eyes resu l t.

Off in Sleep

Notes on Originals

This system is designed for exclusive use in making copies from an encyclope­dia, dictionary, or a thick book or file. Note, however, that it may not make copies reliably from any of the following types of originals.
1. High-gloss originals
Some of the color-photo pages such as gravures of magazines and catalogs have a gloss level of over 60. If such an original is used, the system gives a
warning, interrupting the copy cycle. In such cases, select the Manual Exposure mode, adjust the exposure level manually, and hold the original
as flat as possible to run the copy cycle again.
2. Origin a l s having a high background density
By background density, we mean the color of the paper itself on which texts and photos are printed. When the original has a high background density, therefore, it is itself colored (other than white), or it is newspaper or a diazo copy (an A2 or larger drawing u sed in construction sites and other e ngineering environments). When any of these types of originals is used, the system gives a warning, interrupting the copy cyc le. In such cases, select the Manual Exposure mode, adjust the exposure level manually, and hold the original as flat as possible to run the copy cycle again.
NOTE
If your origi na l is a sheet such as a leafle t, you can al so use the Photo mode of Di30.
NOTE
If you ignore the warnin g and run the copy cycle, a bad copy results.
3. Originals having colored background
If the original has a colored (light green or light blue) background (such as a timetable) with texts of lo w density, the texts may be copied with a den sity so low that they are illegible. In such cases, use the Tuning function of Auto Exposure mode.

is visible above the top edge of the ori­ginal or bey on d the rig h t or left e dg e within a range of 3 cm from the top edge, as shown at left. (This is becau­se the system takes the tag and bookmark as part of the original, resul­ting in false detection.) If you need to use such an origin al, mov e the tag or bookmark to a place outside the range shown on the left before making copies.
6. Originals larger than the Original Table
When the original is larger than the Original Table, you canno t press the Start Key. If it is a file, remove the page, from which you want to make a copy, from the file and make a copy. If the original is a book, we recommend that you use the optional foot switch.
7. Originals havi ng texts or fig ur es in red
If the original has a red text or figure, in addition to black ones (including lines and arrows), use Text mode for a good result. If Photo mode is used, however, the red text and figure may be reproduced with light density.

Book Original Mode (Boo k Orig)

Select this mode when making copies of a book original using PS-3000. When this mode is selected, the following functions can be set.

Functions Automatically Set

Curved Text Line Correct ion
This function is automatically enabled when Book Orig is se- lected. It matches the positions of the texts on the curved lines near the central parts between the pages of an open thick book with those of other texts, ensuring that a undistorted copy will be made.
Text Compression Correction
This function is automatically enabled when Book Orig is se- lected. The texts near the central parts between two pages of an open book look crowded with little spaces between characters when viewed from the top, since those parts of the pages are cur­ved. If they are copied as they are, the result is a text squeezed sideways. This function expands the characters according to how they are squeezed, prov iding a copy as close as possible the original form.
Auto Focus
PS-3000 detects the height of the original through its prescan, thereby bringing the focal point of its Image Scanner to the sur­face of the original (which should range from 0 to 50 mm with reference to the original surface). This function is unique only to the Book Orig mode. When Book Orig is turned OFF, the focal point is fixed on the surface of the Original Table.
Other Selectable Funct ion s (in clud ing Set)
Functions Auto Exposure (basic/aux.)
Auto Zoom Book Split
Set Center
Mask Finger
These functions become selectable only when Boo k Orig is s e ­lected. They are disabled as soon as Book Orig is turned OFF.

NOTE
As you make a copy of each page from an open book (in the Book Split mode or Page-by-Page mode), continuously from one page to another, the difference in fore-edge width betw een th e verso (left) and recto (righ t) pages becomes so great that different zoom rations are used between the verso and recto pages. In such case s, cancel Auto Zoom and use a fixed zoom ratio.

Scanner Selection

As noted earlier, the DPCS3000 system consists of a PS3000 and a Di30. PS3000 functions as a scanner, while Di30 serves not only as a printer, but also as an freestanding digital PPC using its own Scanner (platen). By shutting off communications between PS3000 and Di30, Di30 becomes a digital PPC to read the original using its own Scanner and platen.
