About This Manual

This manual covers the following UP-2000 series color video printers.

• UP-2300

• UP-2800

The difference among models is as follows.

No. of memories RGG SYNC connector Printer window display

UP-2300 1 None None UP-2800 1 Yes Yes

In this manual, the UP-2800 is used for illustrations. Also, the monitor display and printer window display are used to explain the operation. If your printer is a UP-2300 which is not equipped with the printer window display, perform operations according to the monitor display explanation. Wherever the operation or any other item differs between the models, this manual clearly describes those differences.

Organization of this manual

This manual is divided into four chapters. This section explains the organization of this manual.

Introduction

Describes the features and system configuration of the color video printer.

Operation

Describes actual printing once all connections and adjustments have been made, as explained in the next chapter. You will be able to make various types of printouts after reading through this chapter.

Installation and adjustment

Describes how to make connections and make adjustments using the menus displayed on the video monitor and printer window display. Once all connections and adjustments have been made, there should be no need to perform these operations again during normal printing operations. These operations must, however, be performed after reinstalling, or if the picture quality degrades, or if adjustment becomes necessary because the peripheral equipment is changed. Also covered is the use of the printer’s remote control unit (not supplied).

Introduction

Operation

Before Printing

This section describes the following operations that must be made prior to starting printing after mounting the paper tray and paper cover on the printer and making the necessary connections.

• Loading an ink ribbon cartridge (see below)

• Loading paper (see page 12)

• Selecting the input signal (see page 14) Once the above operations have been completed, there should be no need to repeat them during routine printing. Perform them only when absolutely necessary.

Loading an Ink Ribbon Cartridge

To make printouts, an ink ribbon cartridge and paper (which are compaticble) must be loaded. (see “Ink Ribbon Cartridge and Paper” page 99) If the printer detects an incompatible combination, an error message appears. Use the ink ribbon cartridge and print paper (supplied) to check if the video printer functions properly.

Notes

• Use only ink ribbon cartridge and paper that are designed for use with this printer. Failing to do so is likely to result in unsatisfactory printing or malfunctions.

• When replacing the ink ribbon cartridge, do not turn off the power. Turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost.

1 Open the front panel by pulling the front panel top toward you.

2 Remove the ink ribbon cartridge by pushing the ink ribbon cartridge itself.

The ink ribbon cartridge pops out. When you use the printer first, this operation is not required.

Continue to next page m

Operation

Before Printing (continued)

Note

Never put your hand into the ink ribbon compartment. The thermal head becomes very hot. You may burn yourself if you touch it.

When the ink ribbon cartridge cannot be ejected

Turn the power off, then back on again. Then, after a while, press the ink ribbon cartridge. In this case, the image in memory will be lost.

3 Remove any slack from the ink ribbon.

If the ribbon is left slack, it may be damaged when inserted.

Wind the spool until the not-used pont comes to the right end.

4 Insert the ink ribbon cartridge firmly until it stops.

When the ink ribbon cartridge cannot be inserted

Turn the power off, then back on gain. Then, insert the ink ribbon holder.

5 Close the front panel.

Operation

Notes

When using ink ribbon cartridge

• Once an ink ribbon cartridge has been completely used, replace it. Ink ribbon cartridges are not reusable.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon cartridge or place it in a dusty location. Finger prints or dust on the ink ribbon will result in imperfect printing or malfunction of the head.

When storing ink ribbon cartridge

• Avoid placing the ink ribbon in a location subject to: — high temperatures — high humidity — excessive dust — direct sunlight

• Store a partially used ink ribbon cartridge in its original packaging.

If your ink ribbon should tear

Repair the tear with transparent tape. There should be no problem with using the remaining portion of the ribbon.

Transparent tape

Turn the spool in the direction of the arrow to remove any slack until the transparent tape cannot be seen.

Operation

Before Printing (continued)

Loading Paper

To load paper, follow the procedure below. Be careful not to touch the printing surface.

Notes

• When loading the paper while the printer is operating, do not turn off the power. Turning off the power will cause the image stored in memory to be lost.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon when handling the paper.

1 Open the front panel by pulling the front panel top towards you. 2 Push the part marked with PUSH on the paper tray.

The paper tray pops out.

3 Place the paper in the paper tray.

Notes

• The amount of paper that the paper tray holds depends on the paper in use. When adding paper to a partly full tray, be careful that the total number of sheets does not exceed the limit. If you exceed this limit, paper jams may occur. The limit is the amount of paper coutained in one printing pack. For detailed information on the maximum amount of paper that the paper tray can hold, see “Ink Ribbon Cartridge and Paper” page 99.

• Do not place different types of paper in the tray. Doing so may cause paper jams to occur.

• Load the paper so that it lays flat in the paper tray. If the paper is curled, it will overflow from the paper tray and the printing position may shift. If this happens, load fewer sheets in the paper tray.

Operation

Place the paper in the paper tray with the printing surface facing up

Printing surface

Riffle the paper

Set the paper securely under the tab.

About the Memory

To make printouts, it is first necessary to capture the image into memory. When capturing the image, there are two ways to use the memory, one is frame mode and the other is field mode.

Frame mode: A image is captured in one memory. Field mode: A memory is divided into two, and images can be captured in each.

A memory in which an image is captured is called memory page in this manual. The number of usable memory pages depends on the type of the selected reduced images and memory mode.

Reduced image Memory mode Number of memory pages

1/2H/4/16 Frame 1 (A) 1/2H Field 2 (A1, A2)

• FIXED IPP application mode allows you to make a printout with a full-size image, or identical multiple reduced images.

About printing pack and paper tray

To make a printout for identification photograph in FILL IPP or FIXED IPP mode, it is recommended to use the UPC-2040A Self-Laminating Color Printing Pack (not supplied) specially designed for this mode. The printout of this type paper is well preserved. Also, paper size of this type is a little larger than that of others. Thus, the supplied paper tray is too small to load paper. The UPA-2002 (not supplied) is required. For detailed information, contact your Sony dealer.

Making printouts for identification photographs of a desired size

The FLEX IPP application mode allows you to select the size of one image. The number of images in a single printout depends on the set size. This section explains how to set the size and register it to the LOAD SIZE number.

Matching the Video Monitor Color to the Printout Color

To match the color of the monitor image to that of the printout, adjust the monitor and printer colors such that the monitor color is the same as that of the printout. The printer outputs either of two kinds of video signals according to the printer settings.

• EE (E to E): Signals are output to the monitor after being processed by the printer’s circuitry.

• THRU (THROUGH): Signals are output to the monitor as is.

Before adjusting the printout color

The monitor color may not be adjusted correctly even if the printer color is correctly adjusted. Check the color of the video monitor before adjusting the printout color. In such a case, use the THRU signal. After adjusting the color of the video monitor using video monitor controls, adjust the color of the printer’s output signal.

Note

This adjustment is performed to adjust the color of the printer output signal when the monitor color is unsatisfactory. This adjustment does not affect the printout itself. To adjust the color of the printout, see “Adjusting the Printout Color and Sharpness” on page 75).

Adjusting the Printout Color

You can adjust the printout quality by adjusting the color intensity, printout sharpness and tone (GAMMA) of the printout.

Adjusting the color intensity, contrast and sharpness

You can adjust the color intensity (RED/GREEN/BLUE), contrast (DARK/ LIGHT) and printout sharpness. You can store up to three settings. These settings are managed according to the LOAD COLOR number. The color intensity, picture contrast and sharpness of a printout are determined by recalling one of the three settings according to their LOAD COLOR numbers. This is useful when you are using more than one item of video equipment, each having different characteristics, when you want to print images having different color qualities and picture contrast, and when multiple users access a single printer. Also, you can make a printout using temporarily set values, without erasing the stored adjustment values. Perform the adjustments while viewing the images stored in memory. All values of the color intensity and contrast are factory-set to 0 and the sharpness is set to 3 for LOAD COLOR numbers 1, 2 and 3.

Changing the Printout Size/Printout Area

When you print an image that is narrower or wider than the standard screen size, a black frame may be printed or the image may be partially cut. In such a case, you can change the screen size. Or, a black line may be produced on the printout even though it does not appear on the video monitor. Any portion for which there is no video signal is printed in black. This may occur when you make printouts after connecting a different video source or play back different video software. In such a case, you can adjust the printout area by moving the screen either horizontally or vertically. When a black frame appears around the printout, even after the printout area has been shifted, narrow the printout size because the image has been overscanned beyond the range of the regular screen.

Precautions

Safety

• Operate the printer using the power source specified in “Specifications” (page

100)

• Be careful not to damage the power cable by placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cable.

• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the power cable.

• Unplug the power cable by grasping the plug, not the cable itself.

• Do not disassemble the unit.

• Do not remove the cover. There is a danger of electric shock from the internal parts.

• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.

• Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other units or by covering the unit with a cloth etc.

• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony service facility or your Sony dealer.

Installation

Condensation

• Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to: — mechanical vibration — high humidity — excessive dust — direct or excessive sunlight — extremely high or low temperatures

• Do not use other electronic equipment near the unit. The unit will not work properly in strong electromagnetic fields.

• Do not place a heavy object such as a monitor on the printer.

• If the printer is subject to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If condensation forms, turn off the power and leave the printer to stand for at least one hour.

• If the printing pack is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the ink ribbon or paper. This will cause the printer to malfunction. Also, if the printing pack is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout. Therefore, avoid storing the printing pack in locations subject to wide and sudden changes of temperature.

• To store a half-used printing pack, replace it in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, keep the sealed printing pack in a cool, dark location. To subsequently use the printing pack, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the printing pack is removed from its package.

Others

Precautions (continued)

Location

To prevent internal heat built-up, leave enough room around the printer for air to circulate through the vents on the left hand side of the cabinet.

On transportation

Do not transport the printer with the supplied accessories. Doing so may cause malfunction.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.

• Use only the ink ribbon cartridge and paper designed for use with this printer. If you use a different type, the printer may not print properly or malfunction.

• Use the ink ribbon with the paper contained in the same package. If the printer detects an incompatible combination, an error message appears in the printer window display. Doing so may result in degradation of the print picture quality and occurrence of any trouble.

• Ink ribbon and paper are not reusable. Once exhausted, replace them with new ones.

About UPA-2002 paper tray (not supplied)

The paper size of the UPC-2040A self-laminating color printing pack and the UPC-2070E postcard color printing pack is a little larger than paper of another printing pack. The paper tray supplied with the printer is too small to load paper of UPC-2040A and UPC-2070E. To use these types of paper, the UPA-2002 paper tray (not supplied) is required.
