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)
