The recorder stores downloaded image jobs and scans them in the order they are received from the RIP. Job exposures to the processor are continuous once the operator has loaded a cassette with media and installed them at the start of a scan session. The recorder and RIP software work co-operatively using the same built-in media types and widths defined on the RIP application. As soon as the imagesetter system is switched on, media data is automatically downloaded from the RIP to a media database on the recorder. Each supply cassette has an identity (ID) number from 1 to 7 that is read by the recorder when the cassette is installed on the machine. As the media database is editable from the MMI it allows the operator to select any one of media types and widths for an installed cassette. Normally, the the database is modified when a new supply cassette is installed during a scan session.

the same communication protocol across an RS232 link. As cut film sheets are sent to the processor, the processor unit passes messages to the recorder indicating whether it is busy or in working order. Communication is enabled or disabled by the operator: usually during a production run the link is always set as enabled to ensure maximum throughput.

WARNING Do not attempt to open any cover or door on the recorder unless it is required as part of a operating or film recovery procedure.
Upper Door You can install or remove a supply cassette after opening the upper door at the front. This door is closed while the system is scanning but is not locked. If a cassette needs to be replaced or reloaded during a scan session then always use the MMI Change Cassette options explained in Section 3.5. This ensures that any remaining film rewinds back into the cassette before it is removed from the machine. Lower Door Open this door to access and slide out the horizontal output tray which diverts film from the drum to the vertical output. The lower door is locked during production and is unlocked by the operator using the method shown in the Section below (Accessing the Horizontal Output Tray). Access is only required when there is a film jam.

3. As each module (System, Optics, etc) completes initialisation and self-test routines, its icon turns from grey to bold. If the machine fails to boot up correctly, turn to the section Recorder Fails to Boot below. 4. After all the control modules have successfully initialised, the RUN screen appears showing the number of downloaded jobs and the current job starting to scan:
2-3
Getting Started
This screen indicates that the system is in RUN mode and continuously scanning downloaded jobs while media is available. 5. The recorder immediately starts to scan the first job on the queue if there is a loaded supply cassette on-line. The job queue could include jobs already downloaded from the previous session, or the most recent jobs set up on the RIP interface. Section 3.2.3 explains the options available while the recorder is in RUN mode. If you are starting the system for the first time, you may want to modify some of the machine preferences for display contrast, units of measurement or the output settings. In this case, refer to Section 3.6.1. If you need to install a cassette use the procedure in Section 2.2.3 before opening the cassette door.

Getting Started
Close the door highlighted on the icon and the system automatically reboots. Software Module Failure: One of the control modules fails to initialise, its icon remains greyed-out, and the display shows an Error Handling screen. See Sections 3.8 and NO TAG which explains how to interpret these screens and what action to take. Processor Error: A Processor Error Handling screen appears showing the processor LCD panel flashing on/off:

Getting Started
FLASHING LCD
The processor is taking an abnormal amount of time to be in a ready state for accepting media, possibly because of a problem with chemicals. Check the processor LCD to determine the cause and ensure the unit is ready before continuing. Pressing the hidden button, Start in Pause Mode (shown in Figure 2.2), prevents any queued jobs from exposing immediately after the machine finishes to boot. While the System icon is active during a reboot, you can press this button to move the machine directly to PAUSE mode and not RUN mode. Once the next icon for the optics module displays a black border, the button becomes inactive.

current downloading job is transferred to the recorder film in the drum rewinds into the cassette exposed film ejects to the processor traverse moves to the correct position for the next boot.
Always use the Shutdown procedure from the MMI before switching off. If, by accident, you switch power off without a controlled shutdown the system automatically ejects any sheets left in the output path and rewinds film back into the cassette the next time you switch power on. The system is then ready to start loading and scanning media as normal. Try to keep the recorder powered up between shifts and job runs as an aid to prolonging equipment life. Only switch off the recorder in certain situations - for instance, prior to a service visit or when the system is idle for a long period between scan sessions. Use the procedure below: 1. If the recorder is scanning in RUN mode, press the following buttons in turn on each menu to shutdown the system:
2. Images still being downloaded to the queue are shown on the following display, along with the number of images already stored:

one cassette is exhausted, the operator is alerted and completes the Change Cassette procedure described in Section 3.5. Normally, operator control of the imagesetter workflow is from the RIP interface on the server. This interface shows the status of each job before it is scanned and also any recorder errors, film jams, etc. An external alert (if fitted) will indicate when the recorder is out of media or if there is an error. The MMI is useful if you need to monitor, for instance, the current job being scanned or the amount of film remaining. Also, you can consult the MMI if there is an error which needs immediate attention.

In this mode, all scanning is stopped. RIP image data, however, still downloads to the recorder. See Section 3.2.5 below. Media Control Selecting Media Control allows the operator to advance a sheet of film from a selected cassette without exposing a job. This is a useful facility if, for instance, you need to check film output for quality. A media control operation consists of three media output stages: Advance, Cut and Rewind, with the progress of each stage indicated by an animated icon on the MMI. You can eject any number of sheets as required before rewinding the media. See Section 3.4 for more details. Recorder Info Displays the current machine status and allows you to alter the MMI display contrast while the system is not scanning. See also Section 3.7.2. Run Press Run to return to RUN mode and commence scanning the next job held in queue. Starting the scan does not initiate the download of images from the RIP. This operation is completed by the user from the RIP interface prior to running the recorder. See your RIP Users Guide.

working, with a linked RIP interface, generates a steady stream of scan jobs for the recorder. The RIP interface downloads all the available Fuji media types to be displayed and selected as a scrollable MMI list on the recorder. Installing a cassette with an ID number allows the operator to associate a listed media type with the media type loaded into each supply cassette. Once selected from the MMI, the cassette media details are held in local memory on a separate media database. This ensures that the same cassette can be reloaded with the same media type, or removed and replaced at any stage of a job run, and still be recognised.

ERROR INFO
3-48
There are three areas on the Error Handling display that give the operator more information about the current status of the machine: Error Group, Error Type and Error Code. Error Group Error Group displays a set of icons that allow you to quickly identify the general area of the problem: for instance, a film jam, a full chad tray, or a processor. For a typical film jam fault, the location of an error appears as a single flashing module, highlighted on a cross-cut view of the recorder shown in Figure 4.3. Error Type A Non-Fatal Error icon normally appears when the machine is in RUN mode and indicates an error that should not stop the recorder from scanning. The machine may need maintenance or a transient fault may have caused the current scanning job to fail. Press Recorder Info to display information about the maintenance procedure required. Scanning can continue as normal until you wish to start the maintenance job, usually at the end of a scan session. One example of a non-fatal error would be a full chad tray that might eventually block the punch mechanism if it is not cleared promptly. A Fatal Error causes the recorder to halt its current task and display an Error Handling screen. A beeper and external alert (if fitted) sounds at the same time; they are are cancelled by pressing any part of the MMI touchpanel. Fatal errors immediately start an automatic closedown procedure where the system attempts to eject cut film to the processor and rewind film back into the cassette. If the recorder has to be rebooted, a recovery is attempted again. Once the system has initialised correctly, scanning continues; if the system fails to eject the film sheet, an error code indicates where the user needs to remove the sheet manually. Fatal errors need to be investigated and cleared before the machine continues to scan. Section 4.1 onwards describes all the main troubleshooting procedures, and recommends what action to take, depending on the error code.
3-49
Some fatal errors may be traced to the electronics system and can only be cleared with the assistance of a service engineer. Other typical errors could be a media transport jam, which is normally fixed by the operator manually recovering the jammed film and restarting the job flow. Error Code Error codes are arranged into sets of decimal numbers that represent a module or a function on the imagesetter for instance, 200 to 215 is reserved for possible errors that appear when there is an error on the traverse. A discrete code number, such as, 210, within a set gives more specific help on determining the cause of a problem and the best course of action. A list of the error codes and recommended recovery actions is given in Section 4.1 onwards. Recorder Info This button is activated and appears as bold when the type of fault (for instance, cleaning the chad tray) can be completed by the operator. A set of Help screens aids the user in completing the maintenance procedure. Return or Reboot An Error Handling screen shows either a Return or a Reboot button. Press Return to display the previous screen. Use this option when a fatal error appears or after clearing an error using the help screens displayed under Recorder Info. Press Reboot to reboot once the error has been cleared. After initialising, the system re-displays a RUN mode or an Error Handling screen.

Troubleshooting
Running Diagnostics
Before selecting a diagnostic option, make sure that images are no longer downloading. Running tests will abort the current image transfer to local disk memory. The Run Diagnostics option is available from an Error Handling screen.
Selecting Run Diagnostics gives you a choice of performing a set of automated checks on the main system modules (PCBs, motors and sensors). Normally, diagnostics are run automatically as power up tests during a normal boot to check for errors before a scan session starts. But they are also available as a troubleshooting option if the Run Diagnostics button is active on a displayed Error Handling screen. Standard reboots are a fast way of resetting the machine ready for scanning after an error; running diagnostics will also reboot the system (if all the checks pass), but the tests take time to complete. After running all the tests automatically, the recorder attempts to reboot. Once the error has cleared, the system starts to scan; if the same module still fails, the same Error Handling screen will re-appear. At this stage, you should have sufficient information on the fault (error code number and module) for a service request. Section 5.2.3 below describes the Run Diagnostics self-test options in more detail from the TOOLS menu.

WARNING Do not open the lefthand service door and top covers. These protect the electronic and power systems.
This section describes how to gain access to the recorder in the event of a media jam. You can easily remove a sheet of film from the transport system by following the instructions below and the MMI help screens. A system of interlocks on both side doors ensure that the operator is not at risk from hazardous voltages or laser beams. Information on the recorder interlock system is given in your Luxel F-6000 Recorder Safety Manual. Interlocked doors are only opened when an Error Handling screen appears, indicating that a maintenance procedure needs to be carried out, or an error has caused film to jam on the media path. Users should only access the recorder while following instructions on the MMI or in this manual. Your Luxel F-6000 recorder is fabricated and setup to achieve a very high degree of precision scanning. The internal mechanisms around the spinner, and the lens mechanisms that bend the laser beams from the optics system to the spinner should never be disturbed. Figure 4.11 shows the three user accessible doors for removing media from the recorder.
