Local zoom in
1. Handle
2. Paper guide block
3. Paper outlet
Note: Paper width and format are indicated on outlet of paper magazine. For 6 inches paper there is no need to use guide block, the paper can be moved out directly.
25

When the position of paper guide block has been adjusted, adjust the position of the two baffle plates. When you adjust, you should press the moveable clip, as in the picture below:

Note: When fixing paper on the fixer, the two baffles on both sides must be fixed into slots, to prevent movement (Paper emulsion side should be upward.)
27

6.2 Loading or unloading paper magazine
Now paper is loaded, the magazine is ready to be installed into the machine. Machine recognizes the cassette code through the position of magnet. Therefore when loading paper magazine, the first step is to check the position of magnet on magazine to confirm if the current magazine is the one you are anticipating. Refer to section 6.3 for details of cassette code definition
Magnet position
When the cassette code is confirmed, open the magazine compartment door, pull out the magazine base, place the paper magazine into the base and fix it in the base by the spacer pins. Check if the movement of the magazine base is smooth, if not, redo the above procedure; if it is, push the magazine base into the machine and close the magazine compartment door.
Spacer pin

28

When changing paper magazine is needed, open the magazine compartment door; pull out the magazine base, and take out the magazine by releasing the space pins.
Note After the magazine is fixed, the corresponding magazine code will be displayed on the small LCD monitor on the machine console. If Paper not loaded is displayed, which means the paper has not yet been loaded into the machine. Rotate the magazine knob to manually advance paper into paper inlet, the machine will automatically reel the paper into cutter unit. When paper is exhausted, Run out of paper shall be displayed, reminding you to replace with a new paper roll. However if there is paper remaining in the magazine and you wish to change to a different size, then you need to rewind the paper; press Function select key for cassette in the menu of LCD monitor, select unload to unload paper , and then the paper magazine can be removed as described earlier.

Either neighboring or quadric-cubic value can be selected. Neighboring (with rough edge) is high in speed but low in resolution. This method is recommended to be used for the demonstration figure having rough edge, in order to save the hard edge and generate small file. However this method will likely generate rough effect, such effect will become obvious when zoom in or out of an image or when multiple operation is executed in an area. Quadric Cubic (smooth) is low in speed but high in resolution, which can achieve the most smooth hue layers.

Appendix III
Computer Virus and Defense
Along with the popularization of computers and the rapid development of internet, the concomitant computer viruses are making headache for their users. In order to help user having better knowledge about computer virus, we make a detailed introduction about its dangers and the know-how of computer protection. Computer virus is a special program edited by human being, which can disorder, alter and demolish the computer software and duplicate and infect other programs. Computer will execute as per these error commands and then damage users data. Computer virus is infectious, which is very harmful, usually such infections are achieved through computer hard drive, floppy, CD, removable storage device and internet. The main dangers of computer virus include: abnormal monitor displaying, destroying saved data, changing contents saved in discs, disturbing normal work, slowing down of computer processing speed, furthermore causing computer death, eventually disabling the computer. Major behavior and damages of computer virus: 1Directly destroy computer data excited by virus Most viruses will directly destroy important computer data when excited, such as formatting disc, altering registry form and content, deleting important files or replacing file with rubbish data, and destroying CMOS settings. 2Occupy disc space and destroy data Virus parasitizing disc will occupy disc space. The boot virus will occupy the booting sector, meanwhile transfer the original booting sector into different sector, in other words, the boot virus will cover a disc sector. The data in this covered sector will be lost permanently and could not be recovered. File virus will infect through DOS functions, which can detect the available space of disc, write the infected part onto the blank part of disc. Therefore it will not destroy the original data during infection but will illegally occupy disc space. Some file virus can infect lots of files in a very short period of time. Every infected file will be bigger than before in different extent, which will make severe waste of disc space. 3Possess system resources Most viruses permanently stay in memory dynamically, which will possess part of system resources. The memory length possessed by virus is basically the same as that of the virus itself. Virus takes over memory, decreases the availability of memory and furthermore some software is disabled. Besides, virus will also occupy ISR, disturbing the process of system. Many functions of
109

computer OS are achieved through User Break technology. In order to transfer excitation, virus will often amend some correlated relay address then disturb the process of system. 4Affecting computer speed Not only disturbing the system process, the virus will affect the speed of computer. Main Characteristics: In order to judge the conditions of infection excitation, the virus will monitor the work status of computer. Act as self-protection, static virus on disc is encrypted; the dynamic ones in memory are also encrypted. Every time when CPU addresses the location of virus, it will run a program to decrypt the encrypted virus into legal CPU command and execute. And the virus will be encrypted again. This constant battle will cost CPU tremendous waste on its resources. 5Affecting compatibility of virus on system Compatibility is an important index of computer software. Software with good compatibility can be run under different circumstances of various computers; on the contrary the software with poor compatibility is nit-picking on the running condition, such as computer model or version of OS. The creator of virus usually will not test the virus in various situations; therefore the compatibility of virus is poor, which often results in computer death. How to defend virus attack: If DL-0810 digital minilab is infected with virus, the efficiency of the machine is going to be debasing, even important data saved in disc will be destroyed, and resulting in system collapse and the user will suffer subsequently. We recommend that the user take precaution at all time: 1. Strictly prohibit installing pirated software in the system. All operation system and the other software installed in the machine are legally registered. 2. Anti-virus software must be activated when the machine is running, enabling surveillance of the system. 3. Prevent illness at the mouth, carefully check all media brought by customers with virus killing software. 4. Periodically update the anti-virus software.
