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 (see “Assembly” on page 72) and making the necessary connections (see “Connections” on page 74).

• 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.

Notes

• You can replace the ink ribbon cartridge or load paper regardless of whether the power is on or off. However, turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost.

• Use the ink ribbon and paper contained in the same package as a pair. Before attempting to load an ink ribbon cartridge or paper, make sure that the combination of the ink ribbon and paper is compatible.

• Use only ink ribbon and paper designed for use with this printer. Failing to do so is likely to result in malfunctions. (See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 124.)

Loading an Ink Ribbon Cartridge

To make printouts, an ink ribbon cartridge (an ink ribbon holder which has been loaded with an ink ribbon) and paper must be loaded. Load an ink ribbon into the supplied ink ribbon holder, then load the ink ribbon cartridge into the printer’s ribbon compartment.

Notes

• When you use the printer for the first time, the thermal head may be out of position. Before attempting to use the ink ribbon cartridge, turn on the power so that the thermal head is placed at the correct position.

• When transporting the printer, remove the ink ribbon cartridge.

• Do not throw away the supplied ink ribbon holder even if the ink ribbon is used

up. The ink ribbon holder is reusable even though the ink ribbon is not reusable.

• When you use the UPC-510 Color Printing Pack, 200 sheets of printouts can be printed for one ink ribbon roll. Even if you finish one pack of paper containing 100 sheets, do not throw away the ink ribbon. You can use the ink ribbon for another pack of papers.

• Once an ink ribbon has been completely used up, replace it. An ink ribbon is not reusable.

• Do not rewind the ink ribbon for reuse.

• Do not touch the ink ribbon 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.

• Use the ink ribbon and paper supplied only for the initial operation check of the printer.

Operation

Before Printing (Continued)

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

2 Remove the ink ribbon cartridge by pressing the EJECT button.

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

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 EJECT button.

Note

Turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost. In this case, capture the image again before printing.

3 Detach the spent ink ribbon from the ink ribbon holder.

6 Insert the ink ribbon cartridge firmly until it clicks.

Confirm that the ink ribbon cartridge is surely inserted. If the ink ribbon cartridge stops midway, stop inserting it. You may use the wrong ink ribbon holder. Be sure to use the ink ribbon holder that is designed for this printer.

When the ink ribbon cartridge cannot be inserted

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

7 Close the front panel.

Operation

Before Printing (Continued)

Notes

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

Loading Paper

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

Notes

• You can load paper regardless of whether the power is on or off. However, turning off the power will cause the image stored in the memory to be lost.

• Use the only paper that we recommend. Failing to do so is likely to result in malfunctions such as paper jam. Also, do not use the paper as specified for the UP-5000/5100 and UP-5500 series color video printer. (See “Ink Ribbon and Paper” on page 124.)

Notes

• The paper tray holds up to about 100 sheets of paper. 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.

• 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 paper may not be fed properly. Be sure to riffle the paper with the protection sheets before attempting to place the paper in the paper tray. If the printing position shifts, load fewer sheets in the paper tray.

• Do not place different types of paper in the tray.

Place the paper in the paper tray with the printing surface facing down.

About the Memory

To make printouts, it is first necessary to capture the image in 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 a memory area. Field mode: A memory area is divided into two, and images can be captured in

each. A quickly moving subject can be printed with less blurring. A memory area in which an image is captured is called a memory page in this manual. The number of usable memory pages depends on the type of the reduced images selected and on the memory mode. For detailed information, see “Selecting the memory page” on page 38.

Note

You can select the filed mode only when you select the full-image type of printout, two-reduced image printout or four-reduced image printout.

This subsection explains how to make printouts of multiple reduced images taking, as an example, the making of a printout of four reduced images.

Before making the printout of four reduced images

• Confirm the printout color quality (using, for example, the LOAD COLOR number). (See page 86.)

• Select the type of four-reduced image to be captured in memory. (See page 36.)

• Select the appropriate memory page. (See page 38.)

• Set the method to be used to capture images in the memory page and select

which image will appear after the image has been captured into memory, the memory image or the source image. (See page 40.)

• Select whether the white borders are to be added. (See page 49.) You can select whether the white borders are added before or after capturing the four reduced images in the memory.

2 Press the CAPTURE button at the instant the image you want to print appears

on the screen. The image has been captured in the location indicated by the green blinking star on the video monitor screen or the position number displayed on the printer window display in step 1. The green blinking star (referred to as the cursor) on the monitor video moves to the next position and the number on the printer window display advances by 1.

Q1 A 4F : 2 S

The blinking cursor moves to the next position.

At this time, the image captured in memory is displayed on the video monitor screen. However, the image to be displayed after a few seconds depends on the setting of AUTO LIVE in the FUNCTION SETUP menu. (See page 42.) When INTERVAL in the PRINTER SETUP menu is set to ON, the image is automatically captured sequentially to four positions at regular intervals. In this case, go to step 5. When the source image is displayed at the position where the next image is to be captured, go to step 4.

Q1 A 4 F : 2 S

The number advances by 1.

3 Press the SOURCE/MEMORY button.

The source image appears on the video monitor screen.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have captured four images when the memory

image remains on the video monitor screen. Repeat step 2 until you have captured four images when the source image appears on the video monitor screen at the next position where the image is to be captured.

To replace a captured image

When INTERVAL is set to OFF in the PRINTER SETUP menu, you can replace a captured image. Example: When you want to change the image stored in the third position.

Operation

1 Select the third position where the image which you want to replace is

located by pressing the F, f, G or g button. Pressing the F, f, G or g button moves the cursor one position by one position vertically or horizontally.

Press the F, f, G or g button until a 3 appears.

2 Display the source image on the video monitor.

3 Press the CAPTURE button at the instant the image you want to print

appears. The previously stored image is replaced with the newly stored image.

To skip a previously captured image

When an image has already been captured, the previously captured image can be replaced by pressing the CAPTURE button. Skip images that you want to keep by pressing the F, f, G or g button.

5 Press the PRINT button.

The four reduced images are printed on one sheet of paper. Whether white borders are attached depends on the setting of SEPARATE in the LAYOUT SETUP menu. (See page 49.)

If the printout is blurred

When you make a printout of a full image, or two or four reduced images captured in memory in FRAME mode, the images on a printout may be blurred. Should this occur, change the memory mode setting to FIELD, then print it again. Although the blur should be eliminated, the ultimate print quality will be slightly degraded. Select the FIELD mode by pressing the MEMORY FRM/FLD button. (See “Selecting the memory mode” on page 33.)

Preparing the Remote Control Unit

The following remote control units (not supplied) allow you to control the printer remotely.

• RM-5500 Remote Control Unit: Used to connect to the REMOTE 1 connector

• RM-91 Remote Control Unit and FS-36 Foot switch: Used to connect to the

REMOTE 2 connector.

• FS-30 Foot switch: Used to connect to the REMOTE 3 connector.

Using the RM-5500 remote control unit

The RM-5500 Remote Control Unit can be used either as a wireless or wired type. The buttons on the remote control unit duplicate those on the front panel of the printer. (See “Main Panel” on page 135 and “Sub Panel” on page 136.) You can use the remote control unit’s buttons which have the same names as those on the printer.

To use the RM-5500 remote control unit (not supplied) as a wireless unit

When using the remote control unit as a wireless unit, aim the head of the remote control unit at the remote sensor on the printer. With fresh batteries, the range of the remote control unit is about 3 meters.

Using the RM-91/FS-30/FS-36

The operations to be remotely controlled by the RM-91 remote control unit or the FS-30 foot switch depend on the remote operation settings made with the FUNCTION SETUP menu. (“Selecting the Operating Mode for Automatic Printing Capabilities” on page 104.) FS-36 (not supplied) has three switches that have different functions. For detailed information on how to use those switches, refer to the manual supplied with the FS-36.

Installation and Adjustment

Connections

To enable printing, video equipment to act as an input signal source, and a video monitor to display images or menus must be connected. The following diagrams illustrate how to make the input, output and remote control connections. Use this as a guide when connecting the required signals to and from the equipment to be used for printing.

Notes

• Turn off the power of each device before attempting to make any connections.

• Connect the AC power cord last.

Making Connections for Capturing Video Images

Connect the video equipment providing the video images to be printed. Connect the video equipment which will be used in actual printing, using the following diagram as a guide.

Matching the Video Monitor Color to the Printer 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.

Adjustment on the video monitor

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 by setting SOURCE to THRU in the OUTPUT SETUP menu or turning off the power of the printer to send out the through signal from the video equipment to the video monitor After adjusting the color of the video monitor using video monitor controls, adjust the color of the printer’s output signal.

Adjustment on the printer

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” on page 86.

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 (SHARPNESS/INTERPOL.). 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 8 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 using 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.

Note

This adjustment affects only the input signal. This adjustment does not affect the image captured in the memory.
