1.1 Control Console of Alprinta

The Alprinta press is operated with a state of the art control console with integrated
visualization.

Depending on the accessories there may also be a separate blanket wash-up system
or an additional control unit for register position, video viewer, etc.

The control console includes the main console as well as the visualization screen and
integrated processor. To facilitate handling it is mounted on a pivoting arm.

The screen can be moved as needed to the front, rear or side with a handle.

Control Console 2500
Introduction

The screen permits access to the visualization and represents the central operating
element of the control console.

It is operated in Windows environment with a touch screen and is activated by simple
finger “touch” on the respective keys or fields on the screen.

This state of the art technology, automated control console can be operated easily
and has a process-oriented design.

This permits to automate and adjust customer-specific functions that are
increasingly more complicated.

This up-to-date press technology also ensures more efficient and shorter make­ready, less waste and a constant performance through standardized functions.

This also permits adjustment of start-up, programming and maintenance of the press
to varying production profiles.

3.1 Glossary of Terms

Touch-Screen = contact screen. All keys and entry fields shown on the screen as

well as a few display fields and displayed machine components can be selected by
simple touch. This will generate a function or open another pull-down window.

Diskette = Floppy-Disk. A disk is a magnetic changeable storage medium, e.g. a car­rier for permanent data storage. At present the 3.5 inch diskette with a storage capac­ity of 1.44 MByte is the most widely used and commercially available one. The data
stored on a diskette can be deleted and the free storage can be reused.

Disk Drive = a disk drive is an internal or external unit for reading (loading) and/or
writing (saving) of data on diskette.

Hard Drive = a hard drive is an internal magnetic storage medium to store data. A
hard drive is integrated into the control console and directly accessible for storing/
loading of data.

Network = A network is the connection of at least two computers through one or sev­eral lines. The advantage of a network is that two users can communicate with each
other and share the tools of the various connected computers or the central server
(see Server).

Server = a server is either a special computer in a network or a program on a network
computer which offers services to other participants. Here you can also store data.

CD-ROM = Compact Disk Read Only Memory. A CD is a popular and widely available
optical storage medium with a storage capacity of 700 MByte, on which you can save
and archive data. The data on a CD-ROM cannot be deleted.

CD-ROM-Drive = A CD-ROM drive is a unit to read data on CDs. To write data on
CDs requires a special type of CD (CD-R/CD-RW) and a special drive (burner).

Folder = Directory. A directory is like a folder in which various files can be grouped

and filed logically. A directory is used for file maintenance.

Subdirectory = Subdirectory within a folder for file maintenance.

File = A file is like an index in which different data are grouped. A file is used to save

a certain data volume.

Function Keys = The F-keys located in the lower screen area are designated as
function keys. These keys serve special functions. They are used to open menus or
dialog boxes (see Menu and Dialog box), in which you can make or display machine
parameters.

Hotkey-Buttons = these are key fields used to initiate a certain machine action. In
the start screen are 9 Hotkeys, which are grouped in the lower screen area.

Activation Key = green key in a dialog box (see Dialog box). This key is used to
confirm entered settings. With it the settings are accepted. After this key is activated
the dialog box is always closed.

Cancel Key = red key in a dialog box (see Dialog box). This key is used to cancel the
settings made. All settings that were made are cancelled. After this key is confirmed
the dialog box is always closed.

Cursor = The cursor is a blinking mark in an input field. It indicates the writing posi­tion, e.g. entries (numbers, text) are displayed at the cursor position. The cursor can
be moved with the cursor keys.

Cursor keys = arrow keys. Cursor keys are arrow keys that point up, down, right and
left. With these keys you can select an element, scroll selection possibilities, open an
input field or move the cursor in an input field.
