The 8 page Luxel F-9000 Recorder belongs to the Fujifilm family of Luxel
imagesetter systems. It houses a multi-laser expose system that automatically
scans to film a set of job images downloaded from a RIP server.
Image data is sent directly across a SCSI bus from the RIP and stored on a buffer
Hard disk. While scanning, the recorder can continue to receive and store images
from the RIP. Film feed and output is automatic: once the images start to
download, the operator only needs to attend the machine to reload cassettes. After
exposure, film sheets for each job are transferred directly into an online media
processor.
The recorder uses an internal drum with film vacuum, and a high-speed spinner
and mirror to scan film. It processes data for fast optical scanning, continuously
feeds film from dual cassettes, controls the handling of cut and punched film to
the processor, and runs the system software for managing all the main modules.
Overall control of the machine is always by the operator using a touchpanel
interface displaying sets of menu screens as icons and selectable button options.
The Luxel F-9000 imagesetter includes the following features:
· A separate and upgradeable Raster Image Processor (RIP) server and optional
client workstation.
· A SCSI bus link between the server and the recorder for passing RIP data.
· A choice of RIP software applications with a Graphics User Interface (GUI).
· Multi-laser beam system with the option of 1, 2 or 3 lasers operating
simultaneously.
· Laser and 144 resolution options enabled by dongles.
· Automated film reloading and exposure to an on-line film processor (supplied
separately).
· A range of punch options that includes a custom punch.
· A dual-cassette film loading system with daylight operation using Fuji High
Gamma film.
· Four different film widths available on a single cassette: 1130, 1067, 768 and
559 mm.
· Cassette IDs that allow the recorder to hold a database on the type and width of
the installed film.
· Option of up to seven cassettes, each with different film types.
· Direct user control of the recorder from a set of displayed icons and buttons on
a touchpanel Man Machine Interface (MMI) console.
· Comprehensive diagnostic self-tests and error screens for the user and engineer.
· Direct output to an online media processor that communicates with the recorder
using a common protocol.
· Option of an external alert that can warn the user when the recorder requires a
new loaded cassette or an error has occurred.
The scanned imaging area on film covers 254 to 930 mm for four different film
widths. Resolutions for exposure range from 48 to 144 dots per millimetre.
Images in portrait or landscape are exposed up to a maximum of B1 size.

PROCESSOR
A typical site configuration would normally allow the RIP server to operate in the
local area of the recorder and accept image jobs from a number of desktop sources
that may be networked to the server. There is a Differential SCSI connection for
sending image data to the recorder, and an RS232 connection for receiving
diagnostic data for review by the service engineer.
Depending on customer preferences, it is possible to have an external alert fitted
to the recorder with an alarm (audible or flashing light) connected to a remote
location where the operator normally works. This alert sounds when the recorder
has run out of media or an error has been detected. Details of the alert connection
is supplied in the Luxel F-9000 Pre-Installation Manual.
1.1.2 Recorder
The drum assembly is mounted on a fabricated base frame, using anti-vibration
mounts. A light metal framework fixed to the base serves as an attachment for the
covers and doors, and provides mounting facilities for the electronic modules and
the two media transport assemblies, horizontal and vertical. All the main
mechanical and electronic assemblies for the recorder are described in
Section 3.1.
Two end pod doors allow access to the electronic and traverse assemblies
(left-hand side) and the media, in case of a film jam, on the right-hand side. A
lower front cover accesses the Horizontal Output tray which diverts the exposed
film from the drum to the Vertical Output assembly. Users are not allowed to open
the left-hand pod door. Another external top lid protects the optics system.
Removing any of these doors or covers operates a safety interlock relay which
controls the voltage supply to the lasers, film handling mechanisms and the
traverse. Section 2.5 explains the interlocking system.
Opening the Cassette door accesses the input assembly for installing the cassettes.
This door is locked while the system is powered up or down, and is lifted after
selecting the Change Media option on the MMI. Details of how to load and install
a cassette is in the Luxel F-9000 Recorder Operator’s Manual.
Input cassettes are installed on a light-tight Input assembly at the front of the unit.
Once the cassettes are located on the recorder, media is automatically loaded,
reloaded, ejected or rewound, depending on the job requirements.
Exposed and cut film is fed out of the of the machine through a film flap
mechanism into an on-line film processor for immediate processing.
A power on/off switch is located at the rear of the machine on the left-hand side
(viewed from the front). Power is filtered at the inlet with switching provided by a
circuit breaker.
A mains distribution power switch and fuse is located near the recorder to isolate
the system. Over its daily working period, the recorder always needs to be in the
stable environment (temperature and humidity) recommended by Fujifilm. Details
on power supply requirements, fusing and the environment is available in the
Luxel F-9000 Imagesetter Pre-Installation Manual.

· Safety interlocks.
Unless essential for commissioning or servicing, and under prescribed conditions,
never override, negate, or bypass any of the above safety devices.
WARNING
Do not remove panels, unless instructed to do so by this or
other related manuals. Hazardous mains voltages are present
behind panels.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift heavy equipment by yourself.
WARNING
The spinner rotates at very high speeds and can cause serious
injury if accidently touched.
The two end pod doors on the recorder, the lid above the Optics module and the
lower front cover are interlocked to prevent machine motors, traverse carriage and
lasers from operating while the doors/cover are opened.
The locations of the safety interlocks are illustrated in Figure 2.7. Section 9.9
describes how the interlock system functions.
With the doors in their closed position, the interlock switches are enabled and the
two relays (A and B) are activated. Opening a door, lid or cover switches the
associated interlock and removes the 12 V supply to de-energize the two isolating
relays inline with the following supply voltages:
· +24 V and +36 V to the FHMBs (1 and 2) and the STB. (Removing the +36 V
also disables the CAN bus to both PCBs).
· +/-- 15 V to the SOMB and the ULMB.
To override an interlock a special magnetic key is fitted on the frame interlock
switch. See Figure 2.8. The pod door cannot be shut with the override key in
place.
If, during servicing, the recorder has to be run with the interlocks overridden,
extreme care must be taken to avoid contact with live electrical components.
Closing the door, lid or cover (after the override has been removed) causes the
recorder to reboot.
WARNING
All unqualified personnel must be prohibited from the area,
while the machine is in the overridden state,
The status of the interlocks (opened or closed) is passed to the SSB which
controls the inhibit lines to the PSU for power up sequencing when the
doors/cover are replaced. Power and drive voltages do not reappear until the +5 V
supply for the logic circuits is activated.

Film Widths
Two mandrels lock together to form a film spool, each with drive dog moulding
that slides along the drive shaft to adjust for the following film spool widths:
1130, 1067, 761 and 559 mm.
Cassette IDs
An ID label, fixed to the cassette moulding, is read by photo-detect sensors after
the cassette is installed. Because each cassette has its own ID, the recorder is able
to retain and display details of the film type, width and current length set from the
MMI Change Media screen. See the Luxel F-9000 Recorder Operator’s Manual.
Cassette Bay Locking
A locking mechanism operates automatically as soon as the cassette is ‘dropped’
into its bay. Locking is detected by an opto-slotted sensor.
Mandrel Release
A mandrel release sub-assembly locks the film spool mandrel to the cassette base.
Cut-outs along the film guide and a vertical output lid at the top of the assembly
provide access to jammed media. The complete assembly can be removed from
the recorder once the processor has been decoupled.

3.2.5.8 Drum
See Figure 3.1. See also Figure 4.18.
Film is conformed around the drum by the action of a vacuum system (spread
across 23 grooves) and two fan blowers on the traverse baffle that push film
against the drum before scanning. Conformance needs to be within the
specification of 0.010 mm to ensure correct registration.
The drum is cast in aluminium which overcomes the problem of rusting, but also
presents risk of damage if the interior surface is accidently knocked by the punch
or guillotine during a replacement procedure. Plastic end caps are fitted either side
of the drum to prevent the entry of light and dust.
Attachment to the base is via A-V mounts that help to prevent vibration. Isolating
the drum from any foreign sources of vibration (for instance, the vacuum pump)
and ensuring the spinner is aligned correctly to the drum, are important
registration requirements.
Exposure area for an image around the drum is set at a maximum of 1130 mm
width and 930 mm height. The width (along the drum axis) is termed the ‘slow
scan’ direction; the height is the ‘fast scan’ direction.
CAUTION
The drum casting is made from aluminium and is easily
damaged.
CAUTION
Withdrawing the punch from the drum is normally a two man
operation, but can be performed by one engineer, if necessary.

Guillotine (Cutter)
The guillotine is located as a separate sub-assembly fixed to the punch and
operates after the software has determined that the sheet is the correct length for
the job. A solenoid motor drives a thin wire to move a cutting blade along a metal
bar, cutting in both directions.
Micro-switch sensors at each end indicate the position of the cutter to the system
software. The guillotine assembly (with cutter and sensors) are replaced as a
single FRU.
CAUTION
The main scanning assemblies (spinner, readhead, motor and
shaft, etc) are aligned very precisely and should NOT be
handled or gripped when lifting the carriage.

This section describes the main film handling devices (sensors, motors, solenoids
and fans) controlled from FHMB (1 and 2) I/O ports.
Service engineers are able to identify each sensor, motor and solenoid device on
the recorder by its unique ID number. The numbering convention used on the
Luxel machine (and in this manual) follows the pattern:
· Sensors: S1, S2, ... (Note that the ‘S’ sensor number sequence includes gaps for
future product development).
· Motors: M1, M2, ...
· Solenoids: V3, V2, ...
· Fans: F1, F2, ...
3.4.1 Sensors
Sensors positioned around the film handling path feed data to the local FHMB
(via local distributor boards) which directly controls the transport motors. Overall
film handling control is determined by the SSB, allowing the FHMB (1 and 2) to
run a software handling routine for driving the appropriate device.
Film handling sensors are used to flag the exact position of a film leading/trailing
edge on the recorder media path and initiate switching for a film handling motor
or a film jam indication on the MMI. There are four types of sensors used on the
recorder:
· photo-diode (FPD)
· opto-reflective switch (pulsed and non-pulsed)
· slotted opto-switch photo-interrupter
· micro-switch.

Opto-Reflective Sensors
These are opto switches which emit light and detect the same light from a
reflective surface. The sensor output is +5 V when light is reflected back to the
detector (when reflective object/film is present). The sensor output is 0 V when
light is not reflected (when reflective object/film is not present). Not that these
levels are inverted for software purposes at the sensor registers.
Light emitted from reflective-opto sensors used in the film handling paths are
switched on and off by a train of pulses to reduce any fogging of the film. They
are typically switched on for 200 microseconds and off for 3 ms. Reflective-opto
sensors not used for detecting film are not pulsed. Reflective-opto sensors are
mounted on a small PCB called the Reflective-opto Sensor board.
Opto-reflective sensors are specifically employed to detect a change of reflected
light from a surface or a passing edge. They are especially useful for determining
film presence and lengths along a path, and are generally very sensitive to film
angle and distance.
These sensors are positioned close to a film surface and are typically switched on
(for 200 ms) and off (for 3.2 ms) from an FHMB pulsing function. While film is
stationary, the sensors are turned off to reduce the risk of ‘fogging’. See
Table 3.31 for a list of the pulsed sensors.
Fixings and mountings for these sensors (see Section 4.1) are mechanically set on
the recorder, and service engineers need to ensure that any replacements are fitted
in exactly the same position as the old device. On replacement, reflective sensors
may require calibration to find the minimum level of LED drive to allow
detection. Normally, a replacement setup is not required.
Voltage supply to the sensor is set at 5 V and the type of switching is:

Opto-Slotted Sensors
These are opto switches which emit and detect light between two integral posts.
The sensor output is +5 V when light is detected (when object is not interrupting
light beam). The sensor output is 0 V when light is not detected (when object is
interrupting light beam).

The locations of all the slotted-opto and photo-interrupter sensors are shown in
Figure 3.33, Figure 3.34 and Figure 3.35.
These sensors are used by the software to detect the position of a mechanism - for
instance, the location of the punch pins or the buffer guide. A small tab, fixed to
the moving mechanism, interrupts the slot light, indicating to the software the
current position of the mechanism.
Voltage supply to the sensor is set at 5 V and the type of switching used is:
· Light not detected = LOW output
· Light detected = HIGH output.
Micro-switch Sensor
Micro-switches are used to detect the presence of a moving assembly - for
instance, to detect if the chad tray is in position. Some of these sensors operate as
limit switches to switch off a motor when the sensor is activated, see Table
Table 3.31. Voltage supply to the sensor is set at 5 V.
Location: left-hand side of the Input assembly, protected by the left input cover.
Operation: the cassette latch lever includes a mechanical tab that blocks light on
the sensor until the cassette is locked and latched.
S60 - Cassette Door Closed
Location: upper righthand side of door entry.
Operation: detects whether the door is closed.
S9 and S10 - Film at (Upper and Lower) Cassette
Location: entry point of cassette film feed rollers, housed under sensor covers on
the feed guides A and D.
Operation: two identical sensors detect the leading and trailing (end-of-roll) edge
of film fed from the cassette.
S17 and S18 - Buffer Guide (Closed and Open)
Location: left-hand side of the Input assembly, behind the drum casting and
accessed from pod door.
Operation: two mechanical tabs operate as the limit flags to indicate a closed
position (where the climatization buffer is closed and film loads directly into the
drum) and open (the buffer starts to load with film).
S11 and S12 - Film at (Upper and Lower) Buffer Guide
Location: S11 is underneath feed guide A; S12 is underneath feed guide C
(accessed from the Horizontal Output tray well).
Operation: detects film going into the buffer guide.
S40 - Film at Drum Input
Location: behind film feed guide A on the left-hand side.
Operation: detects film pushed into the drum by the drum roller.

These motors are enabled and have their directions set under local FHMB control.
The drive connection is directly between the board and the motor, without passing
through an intermediate distribution board. All DC motors have separate driver
outputs on the FHMB and include current limit control. Drive voltage is +24 V
for two motor types:
· Low Power (LP) at 250 mA
· High Power (HP) at 800 mA.
Fuses located on the FHMB protect all the DC motors. A diagnostic facility is
available for checking the status of each fuse.

and ULMB located in the RFI box.
· 1 A fuse: the +12 V line used to energize the interlock relays. This is located on
the RFI box panel.
· Transistor: a +5 V input controls a transistor switch for grounding interlock
relay (B) which connects the +15 V and -15 V supply to the SOMB and ULMB.
· Inhibit lines: when the SSB detects that a door or cover is open (via the Status
line), an Inhibit signal switches off the +36 V, +24 V to AODD and +24 V lines
from the PSU. The Inhibits are used for start up power sequencing.
When the recorder is powered on and an interlocked cover is removed, two relays
are de-energized to prevent distribution of the following DC supplies from the
PSU:
· Interlock Relay A: this is in the PSU box and controls the +36 V and +24 V to
the STB and both FHM boards which powers the spinner, the traverse and all
film handling motors. The +36 V line line is also used to supply the CAN nodes
on these boards.
· Interlock Relay B: this is on the SSB and controls the +15 V and -15 V supplies
to the SOMB and ULMB which power the laser.
On replacing an open cover or door, the power on sequence is controlled to allow
the +5 V switch on before the ±15 V lines. Also, the +24 V, +36 V and +24 V
(AODD) lines are switched off by Inhibit signal to the PSU until the +5 V supply
has stabilized.
Other panels and doors on the recorder are mechanically locked:
· Cassette door (Lid Lock): the Cassette door to the Input assembly is locked
when the operator releases the door latch on the handle.
· Lower front cover: this interlocked cover is released from a righthand side push
button, see Figure 8.3.
· Lefthand pod door: the service door is locked by a manually-turned screw lock
accessed when the cassette door is opened, see Figure 8.4.
CAUTION
After running continuously for an hour or more, the vacuum
pump becomes hot. Avoid touching the outer surface.
· Solenoid valves (1-3): these regulate the air flow to the vacuum chamber
arrangement on the drum. See also Section 9.10.
· Terminal block connection: the electrical connection to the pump assembly is
from a covered terminal block.
· Vacuum pump relay: housed in the PSU box, this relay switches the vacuum
on/off when film needs to be conformed to the drum during a load/reload
sequence.

3.7.1.1 AC Distribution
See Figure 3.40.
3.7.1.2 DC Distribution
The following DC voltages are routed from the PSU module:
· +5 V - for PCB devices and sensors.
· +15 V - to the SSB, SOMB and ULMB.
· -15 V - to the SSB, SOMB and ULMB.
· +24 V - to the STB, FHMB, two drum baffle fans and interlock relay coils.
· +24 V (AODD) - to the AODD module only.
· +36 V - to the FHMB and STB (to drive traverse and spinner motors).
When the recorder powers on, the spinner, traverse and film handling motors are
programmed not to switch on at the same time. The PSU voltage lines are
sequenced (inhibited) by the System board to ensure that the +5 V rail is
operational before the +36 V, +24 V and the ±15 V rails.
The SSB supplies a regulated +12 V to the SCSI disk drives derived from the
+15 V DC rail. This board also routes:
· +24 V -- to the AODD.
· +5 V, ±15 V and +24 V - to the SOMB and ULMB.
· +24 V - to the RFI box fan.

Some of the components in the Optics module are marked with
red paint. Do NOT interfere with them, otherwise critical
optical components will become misaligned.
When the lid of the Optics module is removed, take great care
not to drop anything (including screws) inside the module.
The Optics module assembly is optically aligned with other optical mechanisms
on the recorder at manufacture and should not be removed or adjusted as part of a
service procedure. If the Optics module has to be replaced, specialist knowledge
and tools are required to align the module with external mechanisms, such as the
spinner.
5.1.1 Sensors
There are six sensors on the module S1 to S6:
• S1 - Neutral Density Filter position.
• S2 - Focus lens position #1.
• S3 - Focus lens position #2.
• S4 - Not fitted.
• S5 - Aperture position.
• S6 - Slow Power Detector position.
Except for sensor S1, an optical setup is not normally required for the module
sensors; in the case of S1 you need to ensure that the beam coincidence is within
the specified limit.
Figure 5.1 shows the location of each sensor in the Optics module.
S1
S2,S3
S5
S6 (INSIDE)
All sensors in the Optics module are opto-reflective and are identical. Except for
sensor S6, the procedure for the removal of each sensor is identical.
1. Disconnect the 3-wire connector to the sensor.
2. Using a 3 mm Allen key, unscrew and remove the Allen screw securing the
sensor to its mounting point.
Note: Note that the allen screw for sensor S3 is difficult to access and requires a
right-angled allen key to unscrew it.
3. Fitting the new sensor is the reverse of the above.
4. If S1 has been replaced, then run the beam_coincidence check from the
test/optics menu in Main Diagnostics.

7. Fitting the new sensor and refitting the Detector assembly is the reverse of the
above.
8. Run flin_pow from the Service menu in Main Diagnostics, see Section
10.3.7.3, to check if the sensor is operating.
9. Visually check that the detector PCB and lens assembly moves into the light
path so that the detector on the PCB is approximately in the centre of the light
path.
5.1.2 Motors
There are four stepper motors, SM1 to SM4 (see Figure 5.4):
• SM1 - Neutral Density Filter motor.
• SM2 - Focus lens motor.
• SM3 - Aperture lens motor.
• SM4 - Slow speed power detector motor.
Each motor is secured to a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket must be
removed with the motor attached.
After replacing an optics motor, run the appropriate motor tests described in
Section 10.3.7.2.

Final Values
Selecting Y opens the Final Values screen, see Figure 5.13.
Machine Setup
Selecting Y opens the Machine Setup screen, see Figure 5.14.
Run Beam-co(incidence)
Runs an automatic procedure which aligns the beam. Normally, this feature is not
required while using the setup program, and automatically turned on after exiting
from the program.
Exit
Choose this option to exit from the program after the scan.
These procedures are based on the optics setups completed during manufacture.
Tests are run from the ‘optics_mmi’ menu using fully-automatic or manual mode
macros.
These tests should be completed when replacing a laser diode or an AOD, or
when upgrading the machine. Setting wedge values and focus tests should be
completed during the installation of the Luxel F-9000 machine.

Beams, 2 or 3 Beam Speed as appropriate.
5. Set Start Scan to Yes.
6. When imaging has finished the image will automatically eject.
7. Choose the best Absolute phase value. This is when the horizontal line viewed
through a microscope is straight and not “saw-toothed”, see Figure 5.21.
8. Enter this value into its relevant position in the Final Values screen.
The absolute phase will change between the first and last test strips. Examples
of how the phase can change are shown in Figure 5.22.
1 1
3 2 3 2

It is theoretically possible for beams to have the correct absolute phase but are
180° out of phase so that they are positioned as 2 and 1 (2-laser version) or 3, 2, 1
(3-laser version) instead of 1 and 2 or 1, 2, 3. This is very unlikely to happen.
However, you can check for this by repeating the above procedure with Pattern
Type set to Vertical Lines and Lines set to 8 ON 8 OFF. If the beams are 180° out
of phase, a single white line will appear in each set of 8 on black lines.
3. This will change the Start Value to 0.94, Step Value to 0.02, Number of
Steps to 10 and Resolution to 48.
4. Select and run Run Beam_co.
5. These tests use the following settings: Vertical Lines, Black, Beams 1 and 2,
2 Beam Speed and Threshold Density.
6. Set Start Scan to Yes.
7. The tests will automatically run for 48 resolution and repeat for 72 and 96
resolutions.
8. When imaging has finished the image will automatically eject.
9. For a 3-beam machine, select Auto Amp Beam 3 routine from the test macro.
10. Select Set Default.
11. Select and run Run Beam–co.
12. These tests use the following settings: Vertical Lines, Black, Beams 2 and 3,
2 Beam Speed and Threshold Density.
13. Set Start Scan to Yes.
14. The tests will automatically run for 48 resolution and repeat for 72 and 96
resolutions.
15. When imaging has finished the image will automatically eject.
16. To choose the best Deflection Amplitude value on film, complete the
following:
a) Measure 415 mm from the image start position (punch end) and draw a
line across all the strips.
b) Draw another line at 815 mm.
c) Using a microscope, choose the strips with the most evenly spaced lines at
415 mm and 815 mm. See also Table 5.2 and Table 5.3.
d) See Section 5.3.8 for supplementary notes on film deflection amplitude.
17. Enter these values into their relevant positions in the Final Values screen.
2. Coincidence is run and the nominal centre frequencies are found and entered
into NVRAM. Test macros in the MMI allow you to step through all AODs
automatically. Steps will increment in 20 kHz values. The macros are:
• Coincidence 1 – Static coincidence AOD0 and AOD1 using Beams 1
and 2.
• Coincidence 3 – Static coincidence AOD2 and AOD3 using Beams 3
and 2.
3. Look at the defect on beam 1 or 3, and compare the defect with those shown in
Figure 5.24 (this example is for coincidence 1):
COINCIDENT BEAMS
212121
PERISCOPE END
860 mm
370 mm
4. Note that the defects are always symmetrical about the nominal position. Even
AODs 0 and 2 always produce a bow in the ideal line and Odd AODs 1 and 3
always produce a diagonal line about the nominal position. Defects in both
AODs will cause a combination of both to occur.
5. Lines should be drawn on the film at 370 mm and 860 mm up from the start of
image at the punch end.
6. To find the correct offset step for the Odd AOD, look at the 860 mm points.
Look for equal spacing between the lines. Note the offset value at the point
where the lines are equal.
7. Repeat for the Even AOD, but this time you should look at the 370 mm point.
An example is shown in Figure 5.25.
8. Enter the offset values into the following NVRAM parameters for each
resolution:
• Beam Offs : AOD 0 (x1)
• Beam Offs : AOD 1 (y1)
• Bean Offs : AOD 2 (x3)
• Beam Offs : AOD 3 (y3).

10. Run the test Deflection Amplitude ALL. This runs with all available beams
at the appropriate traverse speed. The start value need not be entered, as the
value for each AOD is taken from the different values entered in the final
values NVRAM location. The increment value is very small, for example,
0.01MHz.
11. If all previous setups have been completed correctly, there should be no
further adjustment necessary. That is, the scan lines should be parallel and
evenly spaced at a the zero step.
12. Lines should be drawn on the film at 415 mm and at 815 mm up from the start
of image at the punch end.
13. To find the correct step, look at both the 415 mm and 815 mm points. Look for
equal spacing between the lines. Note the value at the point where the lines are
equal at both positions.
14. This time the correct step value should be added to all AOD amplitudes.
15. If the result is not the same for both Odd and Even AODs, the coincidence
should be checked again.
16. In the next example, see Figure 5.27, 0.01 should added to all NVRAM AOD
amplitude values for that resolution.

Film registration errors can come from various sources, for instance, poor film
conformance to the drum, environmental instability, incorrect spinner mirror
angle or periscope misalignment. The possible mechanical causes are numerous,
but most of them should have been eliminated by accurate factory fabrication and
optical setups. Other problems can develop over time, and these may cause
misregistration errors that need to be periodically checked on a working machine
during a service visit.
This check is designed as a quick and reliable first-pass method for determining if
film registration is within the Luxel specification. If the check shows a
registration failure, caused by spinner-periscope axis misalignments, the test
procedure is continued so that a new setting for the periscope M2 mirror is
obtained.
Tools and equipment required:
• large light table - at least 1140 mm (45 in) x 1000 mm (39.5 in)
• x50 microscope (note that the view of lines seen under a microscope is a
reversed image)
• ruler
• sheet of rolled film used to smooth and flatten down film on the light table.
Follow the procedure below after ensuring that the machine has valid optics setup
NVRAM data:
1. Expose and process two films using the Full Film macro described in
Section 5.2.1 above. Set the following parameters:

The image must be longer than 600 mm and exposed on maximum width film
(768 mm).
2. The film automatically ejects when completed. A second film is then exposed
and ejected.
3. The two exposed film strips are shown in Figure 5.28 below:
CORNER TOP TO
SCAN POINT TOP
CASSETTE CASSETTE
LEFT TO RIGHT
4. Place one film on a light table with the emulsion side upwards. Flatten the
sheet with the film roll so that it is firmly fixed to the table.
5. Place the second sheet emulsion downwards, left over right, as shown in
Figure 5.28. Use the microscope to line up the two top corner scan points
exactly (cassette end of image).
6. Lightly smooth over the top sheet while still checking the corner point
alignments. Resulting from the interferometry effect are two typical error
fringe patterns (A and B) shown Figure 5.29. You need to check whether the
number of fringes indicate that the optics system is within the Luxel
specification by using the procedure in step 7.
800 mm 800 mm
7. Count the horizontal fringes inside the 800 mm range: in Figure 5.29 it should
be 11 for Pattern A and 18 for Pattern B. Multiply the number of fringes by
10.4 microns to measure the registration error: For Error Pattern A it will be 11
x 10.4 microns = 114.4 microns, which is outside the specification of 50
microns.
8. If the check in step 7. reveals that the optics system is outside the
specification, then apply the procedure from step 9. to step 16.
9. Mark a line at a distance of 800 mm from the cassette (reference) end of the
image. The distances shown in Figure 5.30, for reference, from the clear line
at the top of the film are based on the maximum registration effect for each
M2 mirror screw adjustment, vertical and horizontal:
a) Vertical adjust: effects 260 mm (from the cassette end of the film).
b) Horizontal adjust: effects 660 mm (from the cassette end of the film).
Note: Note which side of the two films are from the periscope end.
10. Count the number of whole fringes inside the 800 mm distance. In the
example of a Pattern A type, shown in Figure 5.30, this is 13 and not 14. Now
use the method in step 11. to step 15. to determine the level of M2 mirror
adjustment.

11. Measure the distance of the null loop from the reference point. In Figure 5.30
this is revealed as 450 mm (which is the phase of the error). The fringe count
of 13 is the amplitude of the error.
12. Plot this position on the Periscope Screw Adjustment chart, see Figure 5.31,
showing the amount of the two M2 screw movements (vertical and horizontal)
required, but not the direction of turn.
13. Scratch the emulsion away from the bottom film at the null loop reference
point nearest the periscope end. See Figure 5.30. Try to avoid moving the two
film sheets.
14. Using a microscope, determine if the lines on the emulsion up film are nearer
or further from the periscope end (user side). In the example shown in
Figure 5.30, the lines are further from the periscope.
15. Follow the directions in Figure 5.31 for turning the appropriate screw.

6. Using a microscope, adjust the two halves at one end of a test strip so that the
exposed lines (1 ON/1 OFF) overlap exactly, see Figure 5.35 (A).
7. At the other end of the strip, count the number of line spaces that extend from
the top or bottom half, see Figure 5.35 (B) and multiply this count by the pitch
of the exposed lines in microns (ie 21). In this example, the measurement is:
21 x 2.5 lines = 53 microns
8. Determine which half of the exposed sheet is longer, the punched side or the
cassette side using the formula:
Punch side is longer: registration error is plus
Punch side is shorter: registration error is minus
and prefix a positive or negative to the error measurement, for example, +53
microns.
9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the next two strips to obtain the average error
measurement which in this example is, for instance:
(+63 +84 +53)/3 = +67
Note that the range is +240 to –240 µm.

9.1.1 Introduction
See Figure 9.1 shows the main image data routes for the processing and exposed
routes.
This introduction provides a high-level description of the main functions of the
system. It shows how image data is ‘pushed’ to the recorder, stored and processed
into a modulated laser streams (1 to 3, depending on the laser configuration), then
exposed on film. Control of the film path mechanisms, traverse and optics
systems is from local ‘intelligent’ nodes that run from on-board micropressors
(MPU) with their own control software routines.

TRANSPORT FROM
RECORDER DRUM TO PROCESSOR PROCESSOR
All the recorder functions, described in this chapter, are grouped into three main
subsystems:
· Media Handling - How film is transported from the input cassette to the
processor.
· Media Exposing - How laser data is generated and manipulated from the
Optics module to the spinner.
· Media Scanning - How the traverse carriage and spinner reflects light across
the drum.
Figure 9.2 gives an overall system view of the Luxel F-9000 recorder interfaced
to a RIP server. Design is largely based on the principle of distributing local
control functions so that they are in close proximity to their target mechanisms.
This approach broadly sub-divides the system into two functioning areas:
1. Overall system control managed by the SSB which initiates operations as a
master, sending commands over the CAN bus to slave PCBs - depending on
the sensor signals received (traverse, film position, spinner position, etc).
2. Local module control for film handling, optics and scanning from four local
node PCBs (FHMB1 and 2, SOMB and STB) that include an on-board MPU
and local program firmware.
Luxel system control is based on a peer-to-peer distributed model where functions
are managed by the following node PCBs:
· SSB - System Board (overall system manager and interface to external
devices).
· FHMB(1) - Film Handling Motor Board 1 (handling the majority of input
sensors and motors).
· FHMB(2) - Film Handling Motor Board 2 (handling the majority of output
sensors and motors).
· SOMB - Optical Motor Board (controls optical motors and laser modulation).
An extension Upgrade Laser Modulation Board (ULMB) is added for laser
upgrades.
· STB -- Traverse Board (controls movement of the spinner and traverse
carriage).
Each of the node PCBs are responsible for initializing control routines on their
subordinate modules (motors, etc). They accept local responses (sensors, etc) and
transmit/receive messages to the SSB over a CAN bus. The SSB occasionally
assumes mastery of the system by arbitrating between system tasks. For instance,
motors and lasers are not moved until they are enabled by the SSB.

position/power feedback signals. The AOD circuitry manages the laser deflections
required for a dual- or triple-laser system.
Laser beams are focussed, adjusted for density and checked (while the system is
not scanning) for correct alignment and power settings between beams. The
beams are shaped and collimated by mirrors through a periscope to a spinner
mirror rotating at a maximum speed of 30,000 rpm.
Section 9.12 explains the principles of media exposure in more detail.
Control and driver circuitry on the SOMB receive image data from the SSB for a
single-laser (LD2) scanning; laser modulation for LD1 and LD3 is controlled
from the ULMB.
Modifying the optics configuration from a single-laser system to a multi-laser
system is completed as an option upgrade.
See Section 9.12 for a full description of the optics control and Section 9.12.6 for
a description of the optics upgrade configurations.

umbilical cable).
Some of the main modules they control include:
· vacuum system
· punch and guillotine cutter
· input cassettes
· input buffer guide (climatising)
· film transport motors.
See Sections 9.3 for a full description of the FHMB functions and Section 9.11 for
the film handling mechanisms.
by an identifier that is unique throughout the network. All nodes receive the
message and perform an acceptance test to detect whether the message is relevant.
Bus arbitration is based on two priority schemes:
· The CAN scheme where the lowest-level message ID has the highest priority.
· An overriding scheme determined by priority bits for critical tasks - for
example, start of data transfer when the traverse reaches the scan start position.
The message frame typically consists of fields denoting Start/End of Frame, Data,
Control, Acknowledgements and CRC Error Bits. Other frames, controlling the
network for bus errors and overloads, are also transmitted between nodes.
CAN BUS
SSB SOMB
FHMB(2)
CAN BUS
CAN/UMBILICAL
FHMB(1) STB
Error handling routines, built into the CAN software, automatically attempt a
recovery procedure depending on the type of error reported. All messages on the
bus are checked by each node and acknowledged if they are correct. Bus errors
will cause the frame to be retransmitted, or (in the case of persistent failures) for
error reporting to the system user via the diagnostics.
Luxel CAN controllers are tightly coupled to board MPUs which also manage
local board processes, and include their own CAN interface.
The CAN protocol is based on a reduced protocol stack of three layers. It operates
as peer-to-peer, but for certain tasks also operates as master-slave when, for
instance, the SSB constantly receives and transmits frames. Local data is sent
from a node to the SSB. The SSB returns high-level control signals to the PCB
nodes for synchronising the optics, scanning and film handling sub-systems.
Luxel employs the high-speed CAN version (CAN-H) where signal levels are set
at 2.75-4.5 V (HIGH) and 0.5-2.25 V (LOW). Terminations (at 120 ohms) are
provided.

The MPU device has a 32-bit data bus core and is currently clocked at 20 MHz. It
executes the software instructions resident in Flash memory. On power-up, the
MPU carries out the following functions:
· Performs a reset.
· Initializes on-board devices, such as, the SCSI controller.
· Initiates a boot sequence which loads the system software from Flash memory.
· Initiates a Power on Self-Test (POST) routine to determine correct operation of
the board’s components.

Data is passed to the serialiser by alternating the output from the buffer of each
decompressor. Once the requested number of lines have been written to the buffer,
and the output buffer is empty, the buffers are flipped for the next set of
decompressed lines.
9.2.2.7 Serialiser
The serialiser takes the three beam streams from the output decompression buffers
and serialises them into data streams for the laser diode drivers. It uses all the data
from the output buffers on the first decompressor before switching to the alternate
output buffer on the second compressor. To avoid positional errors, and determine
the start of image, a clock feeding the serialiser is synchronised to the INDEX
signal from the spinner encoder.
Under software control it is possible to output diagnostic signals instead of an
image stream. Also, additional CRC encoded data is included for full speed
diagnostics checks.
Alternative data is also provided by a pattern generator that sends grids, dots and
dedicated registration patterns used for setting up and aligning the optics. An
interface for the engineer to generate test strips is explained in Section 5.2.
A frequency monitor signal is returned from the AODD for use during the
calibration process.
The AODD interface is able to support two identical control ports for separate
types of AODD modules - 2-channel and 4-channel, depending on the laser
configuration. Output to the AODD is from a data line where the frequency and
data is multiplexed.

Both boards are identical in build, but the tasks they perform depends on the
devices they control. Because the handling software routines are configured for
each device, it is not possible to interchange the two FHMBs. Service engineers
can check the configuration (software issue levels, etc) from a separate utility, or
dump and restore configuration parameters to a local hard disk. NVRAM values
for local film handling can also be accessed and stored to disk.

resolution. Two inputs to the PM controller are compared to give a digital error
signal that is converted to a drive voltage.
1. PLL reference frequency at 13.62 MHz divided down into two different clock
frequencies (4.55 and 6.82 MHz), depending on the resolution and number of
beams.
2. Digital encoded signals from the readhead.
The required trajectory is produced by comparing two sets of numerical trajectory
values:
· The desired trajectory positions (in microns depending on the optical speed)
calculated by the PM controller.
· Feedback of current position pulses from the linear encoder to a summarising
register on the PM controller.
A digital error signal is then developed as a numerical value that is passed to the
DAC for driving the motor.
When error or limit conditions are detected, the PM controller is also able to
interrupt the MPU.
4. PAL
A PAL logic stage uses the PWM signal to drive the spinner motor with a power
level proportional to the level demanded by the analogue servo stage. It also
sequences the power stage outputs (3-phase) so that the spinner motor is driven
correctly. The logic stage handles control functions, for example, checking that
the spinner speed is within normal limits.
5. Power Output
The power stage takes the six signals from the previous stage and uses these to
control the six MOSFET transistors which switch to energise the motor windings.
See Figure 9.13. Hall sensors around the rotor indicate the position of the rotor,
and their outputs are decoded for switching MOSFETS in the correct sequence to
start the motor.

regenerative and effectively short-circuits the motor windings. Braking time for
the spinner is less than 20 secs.
3. Slow power detector (SPD): used as a reference for setting the output drive
level, it does not require calibration.
The SOMB also controls laser power output during scanning. As the laser warms
up the drive output level characteristics change subtly, especially when outputting
a black line. These characteristics are compensated with a feedback (once-per-rev
calibration) and feedforward (droop compensation) circuit. Shading to
compensate for variation of light power around the drum is managed by the
SOMB which holds the shading data on LUTs. Currently, the shading facility is
not used.

The ground connection from the relay A (switching the +15 V and --15 V supplies
to the SOMB and ULMB) is connected to ground through a transistor controlled
by a +5 V control line from the SSB. This ensures that the relay is only energized
after the +5 V supply is present, so that the logic control circuits are powered
correctly before the laser diodes are switched on. Once the 15 V lines are
activated, the SSB and slave board circuits are powered. At this stage the +24 V
and +36 V are still inhibited.
The four interlock switches are all the same, containing two normally closed (NC)
and one normally open (NO) switches, see Figure 9.17.
Each interlock switch provides a status signal to the SSB: I_LOCK1/2 gives the
status of the pod doors and I_LOCK3 the lower front cover. The status signal from
the front panel uses the N/C switch, which is different from the LH and RH door
status signals.
When a pod door is opened, the status lines are connected to ground (logic 0) by a
twin contacts within each interlock switch. Removing the lower front cover
connects its status line to a floating logic high.
The SSB provides three Inhibit signal lines to the PSU control system: these are
for switching off the +24 V and +36 V supply to the FHMBs and STB, and the
24 V AODD supply. SSB software uses these lines to enable these voltages when
the +5 V supply has stabilized. For the +24 V (AODD) supply, this delay is
required to allow the correct power sequencing for the AODD. For the +24 V and
+36 V supply, this delay is required to reduce a power surge.
Note: Note that because the +5 V on the STB and FHMBs is derived from the
+36 V line, communication with these boards over the CAN is not possible
when the +36 V line is open.

Optics Module
This module, which is located on the the drum gantry, generates and modulates
the three multi-laser beams. It also houses the acousto-optic devices that control
the circularizing deflections for the two outer beams (1 and 3).
Three laser diodes (LD1 to3) source the three laser beams. Beam 2 is undeflected
and serves as the reference; beams 1 and 3 are deflected using separate AODs,
with overall deflection control managed from the SSB and the AOD Driver
(AODD) module. A number of mechanisms/PCBs, with associated lens, mirrors,
sensors and motors, operate as:
· Neutral Density illumination control
· Focus setting
· Beam Converter (aperture)
· Slow Power Detector (to adjust laser power)
· Position Sensing Detector.
The function of each optics module device, in approximate sequence on the laser
path, is described in Section 9.12.2 below. Chapter 5 explains how to remove,
replace and setup the main module assemblies.
Two boards, SOMB and ULMB, are also attached to the exterior of the optics
module:
· ULMB: controls laser modulation for LD 1 and LD3.
· SOMB: controls LD2 modulation, and the optics sensors and motors.
Periscope
Two slanted mirrors, M1 (top) and M2 (bottom), redirect the laser beams from the
optics module to the spinner. Laser light is sensed from an inline slow power
detector that moves across the beam path to read power and operate as a shutter to
break the path. Note that the ‘periscope’ is a set of mirrors and a covered path
inside the drum cap. It is not a separate assembly.
Spinner
Beams are scanned around the drum by a revolving mirror that includes encoder
circuitry to indicate the position of the mirror to the SSB.

WARNING
If the interlocks are overridden when the end panels are
removed, make sure the spinner is not rotating during a
service procedure.
The Speedring spinner currently specified comprises a mirror, shaft, body, motor,
encoder and cables.
Note: The spinner mirror is metal-based with a special reflection-enhancing
coating. Always use the cleaning procedure (with recommended wipes and
solvents).
A single facet mirror, slanted at approximately 47.5°, rotates at a maximum
scanning speed of 30, 000 rpm (or 10, 000 rpm idling) to reflect laser light to the
film surface from the periscope. Acceleration from rest to full speed is less than
20 seconds, and from idle speed to full speed approximately 10 seconds. The
carriage only traverses when the spinner is stationary or at full speed.

In the case of a shipped recorder, all the required laser modules for each
configuration are installed and setup at the factory. Information on the upgrade
kits is supplied by Fujifilm (UK) Customer Services. A system of stacked dongles
on the SSB are used to enable the various laser and resolution options.
· SPIN INDEX occurs once per spinner revolution. This signal is transmitted
directly to the SSB where it is used to synchronise the carriage and spinner
mirror positions.
Current Limit
Maximum current to the spinner from the controller output is set not to exceed
15 A (for 1.5 secs) on spinner startup, with maximum current for each phase is
limited to 8 A thereafter.
Braking
When braking is switched on, the spinner comes to rest at approximately 20 secs
from full speed. Braking is applied by shorting out the three windings and using
regenerative braking to decelerate the spinner. It is active when:
a) the spinner controller initialises
b) power is removed from the STB (for instance, an interlock is opened)
c) on-demand signals via the software.
Braking also occurs for the following conditions listed below:
Stalled Rotor
If the rotor fails to move following a Start command.
Overspeed/Underspeed Detection
Power is removed from the motor if the spinner is stalled or is rotating too slowly.
Speed is calculated from the spinner shaft encoder.
Over-temperature
Local ambient temperature around the spinner output terminals on the STB is
monitored by an on-board detecting device. If the temperature exceeds 100 _C,
the controller removes power to the motor.

Linear Scale
The linear scale is a 6 mm wide, self-adhesive steel strip that is gold-plated and
lacquer coated. It is pressed with small corrugated pitches (facets) set at 20
microns. Gold plating on the scale assists optical reflection/defraction from the
readhead, while laquer coating protects the strip from minor surface damage. It is
attached to the drive rail and covers the length required for an end-to-end carriage
movement.
The design of the readhead and scale ensures it is tolerant of small amounts of
contamination or damage. It is cleaned by wiping with a cloth dipped in an
approved cleaning agent described in Section 8.3.2. If the scale is badly damaged,
it is possible to replace the complete strip in-situ; but this is not a standard
replacement procedure and requires advice from Fujifilm Customer Support.
CAUTION
Avoid damaging the scale with any hard metal objects.
Readhead
See Figure 9.37.
This is a position feedback transducer that supplies digital signals directly to the
PM controller. The current device is a Renishaw RGH22X that runs from a supply
of 5 VDC, has a resolution of 1 mm, and operates an infra-red diode as a source of
illumination.
Infra-red light obliquely illuminates the scale facets which then reflect and scatter
light towards the readhead window. An index grating inside the device redirects
the light to form fringes identical to the scale pitches. Each fringe point is the
summation of light from 100 scale facets to give an averaging effect that helps to

To ensure accurate encoding, the gap between the scale and the readhead must be
set using the 0.8 mm spacer supplied with the head. When the head is replaced,
the setting should be checked over the entire length of the scale track by
observing the readhead LED as the carriage is pushed from one end to the other.
Optical signal generated from the scale is read by a built-in monitoring circuit that
measures relative alignment and set-up conditions. Any indication of error is
shown by a bi-colour LED. As a servicing check on Luxel, the diagnostic LED is
visible from the left-hand end while the carriage travels along the complete scan
distance. LED colour indications are as follows:
· Green: conditions are acceptable.
· Orange: conditions are acceptable but small adjustments are required for
obtaining an improvement. The manufacturer’s Installation Guide explains how
to set-up the alignment.
· Red: conditions are unacceptable. The manufacturer’s Installation Guide
explains how to set-up the alignment.
Note: A correctly setup readhead is essential for accurate encoding.

Home Actuator
This sensor actuator is positioned on the left-hand side of the beam and generates
a signal at the left end mechanical stop to define one end of the beam.
The Home signal is active for the final 20 mm of carriage movement until the
carriage reaches its mechanical end stop. It is used as a coarse position sensor,
determining which way to move the carriage at power up. It is also used as a
software warning flag to indicate that the Index sensor in close proximity. Note
that it is not possible to move the carriage beyond the active region of the Home
signal while it is traversing from right to left.
COARSE HOME POSITION SIGNAL
RAIL
All absolute positions are measured from the point where the TRAV INDEX
signal is asserted.
The index signal (TRAV INDEX) is active for the same distance as the main scale
(1 mm). It is repeatable, short and accurate, and is asserted approximately 5 mm
‘inside’ the Home sensor region.
This sensor is always approached by the carriage from the same direction during
the datuum operation to ensure the highest repeatability. The method is as follows:
a) a valid Home signal is detected
b) carriage moves left slightly beyond the Index sensor
c) moves right and halts on the left-hand edge of the Index sensor.
Because the position of the reference mark pulse is set for very high precision
repeatability, some form of registration is necessary. Using the readhead LED
indicators, the optimum phasing of the reference mark trigger signal, relative to
the incremental signal from the scale, is determined. A screw fixing on the
actuator sets the correct registration.
If the readhead mounting is disturbed, or the readhead is replaced, the reference
mark will need to be re-registered using the procedure supplied by the
manufacturer’s Installation Guide. Make sure the retaining screws for the
readhead are not disturbed.

specification of 2.4 mm. Run the test separately to obtain a more detailed trace
report. Enable the debugger option (19) to obtain more information on the test
results.
1017: TRAVERSE_TEST
This utility checks that the traverse carriage can be positioned to within 5% of its
datum point and that it can travel over its full length without any position errors
usually caused by poor recorder levelling. The accuracy of traverse speed is
determined by measuring the time taken for the traverse to travel the full length at
each of the available traverse speeds. The calculated speed must be within 5%.
Note that running traverse_test does not give a pass or fail result.
1018: SPINNER_TEST
This checks that the spinner can run at 30,000 rpm and at 8,000 rpm. It is run at
each speed for 30 seconds to check that phase lock is maintained.
See Section 10.2.3.9.
1019: DATA_PATH_TEST
This checks the digital data path from the Hard disk to the serialiser. The serialiser
CRC circuit is initialised. A test image is loaded from the disk and the CRC value
of its data read at a point just before the Optics module is compared with its
known value. There may be a possible problem with the Hard disk or the SSB;
check the disk for bad sectors and reformat.
See Section 10.2.3.11.
1020: PROCESSOR _COMMS_TEST

following film handling checks are performed:
· Input: film feed and rewind in cassette A and B, and Drum input motors
(controlled by FHMB1).
· Output: film output to processor and film transport motors (controlled by
FHMB2).
The film is loaded and conformed onto the drum and then rewound from the
drum. This is repeated ‘n’ times. The film is then punched, cut and ejected. Any
remaining film is rewound.
See Section 10.2.3.13.
1026: REALTIME_CLOCK_TEST
Checks the real-time clock on the SSB.
1027: DISK_TEST
This runs a disk Inquiry check for the odd (CHAN 1) and even (2) drives.
See Section 10.3.7.3 on the disk/ tests.

Measures the light reaching the drum. On running this test, the result will indicate
a failure without completing the initial setup first.
Setup contamination measure:
1. Run locate_FPD to set the position of the fast photo detector.
2. Run reset_cont_lvl to initialise the contamination level as a reference.
3. Run contamination to indicate the percentage of degradation (spinner mirror
dirt) from the reference level. There are no real percentage thresholds for
when the mirror needs to be cleaned; if there has been a large decline (over
30%) the customer should notice the difference from the quality of the film
output. Make sure the customer follows the internal cleaning procedure given
in the Operator’s Manual.

the parameters: <start--addr (hex)> <end--addr (hex)> <value (field width)>.
diagnostics/service/evt/
The software process system runs about fifty multiple system tasks called STDs
(State Transition Diagrams) which cooperate with each other by passing messages
(or Events) along channels. EVT commands are normally used by R&D to display
and manage these communications as a method of determining the cause of
failure if the machine ‘hangs up’. Service engineers are advised not to use the
EVT commands, except for those listed below.
ini
Event processing is normally initialised on machine startup.
getstate
Displays the current state of each STD task on the System board. These messages
are numerous and will only make sense to R&D. Capture the full display of text
output and consult Fujifilm Customer Services (UK).
sequence
This shows how the system reached its current state. Use the following command:
seqY --1Y1000 to get the last 1000 state changes. Save the full display to a floppy
disk as a text file and email the results to Fujifilm Customer Services (UK).

that LED 1 uses 0 and 1; LED 3 uses 2 and 3.
setfreq
Sets the AOD channel to a linearised frequency value and the supplied power
value. To display the linearised frequency value, set the debug edbg command to
8. The parameters are <AOD channel number (0--3)> <requested AOD linearised
frequency in MHz> <AOD power value (Hex)>

as: power_compY<chan No>.
flin_pow
This command runs freq_lin and power_comp for all the available channels.
When run with beam_co it performs the equivalent of an MMI optics calibration.
The resulting table is written to NVRAM.
It checks the frequency linearisation of the AOD (from 76 to 83 MHz) and power
compensation as frequency is switched from the lower to upper range. The aim is
to ensure that the optical efficiency of the laser and AOD pairing is constant over
the AOD frequency range. A typical report displayed after the test would be:
freq AOD0 AOD1 AOD2 AOD3
76 0x8 0x8 0x8 0x8
77 0xa 0xe 0xd 0xf
78 0xd 0x15 0x12 0x15
79 0xe 0x16 0x14 0x18
80 0xe 0x18 0x15 0x19
81 0xe 0x19 0x15 0x18
82 0xa 0x18 0x16 0x16
83 0x7 0x17 0x15 0x711
PASSED TEST
main> Serialiser Status = 105
1. Run the utility, beam_co, with the debug ouput option for Beam Coincidence
(19) enabled:
main> edbgY19
Note: If the displayed tolerances are different from those above then they
should not be adjusted. Refer to Customer Services where there is a
problem in obtaining beam coincidence before attempting to expand
the range.
4. If the difference values are within range then the utility will write the AOD
nominal frequency (FNOM) values into NVRAM. Where the differences are
greater, then the utility adjusts the AOD channel frequencies, resamples
average power and X:Y positions on LD1 (or LD3), and recalculates the
FNOM values. This process is repeated until the differences are within the
tolerance range. The example below shows how ‘beam_co’ operates.
5. If the power or X:Y positional values are constantly outside the tolerance
range (after 10 iterations) then two possible Error Codes could appear:
· 160: The beam_co utility cannot obtain a difference result that is within
tolerance range.
· 165: The beam_co utility itself has failed to run properly for some
reason.
6. Fault messages, such as ‘Insufficient power for LD1’ usually means that the
laser or AOD modules are slightly misaligned, in this case, between LD1 and
AOM1. Make sure that the modules are flush to the mountings.
7. Disable the diagnostic debug output with the following command:
main> ddbgY19
Make sure the debug is disabled after this procedure. If the debugger is not
disabled, the production scan rates will be slower.
beamco_pos_tol and beamco_chkpos_tol
These commands set and check the position tolerance values for testing beam
coincidence. Use them when upgrading a machine to a dual- or triple-laser
system. The parameter is a floating point <value>; enter the command as, for
instance (see Table 10.3):
· A dual-beam machine is set as:
beamco_pos_tolY2.4
beamco_chkpos_tolY3.0
· A triple-beam machine is set as:
beamco_pos_tolY1.6
beamco_chkpos_tolY2.0
If a parameter is not entered, the current tolerance value is displayed.

From each board, Config data is passed to the SSB for storage as sets of multiple
records that are displayable as ASCII data. In the case of History records, the last
entry is shown first for up to 20 entries. This data can be accessed by the service
engineer either for information purposes or to be updated whenever the
configuration of the board is changed.
The current Config data for each board is displayed on a terminal from Main
diagnostics after obtaining the Registry menu as follows:
diagnostics> tests
sysdiag> registry
registry> display_registryYboard
History Data
· H/W changed
· details of change
· date of change
· ID of engineer that made the change.
For revision data the last 10 system changes are tracked and the last 6 system
configurations are stored.
the test will automatically fail requiring the engineer to update the registry using
the Update_registry utility, see Section 10.4.7.2.
If the SSB or HDD are replaced, data from one device is automatically copied to
the new device. However, a problem occurs when both the HDD and SSB are
changed. In this case, note the system configuration details and update the registry
with the new serial, build and final test data. See Section 10.4.7.2.
3. If you have changed the SSB and the HDD, then the following appears:
sysSerialNum
sysBuildDate
finalTestDate
Enter revised details (using the Arrow keys to navigate) if you have changed
both the SSB and the HDD. Enter the system serial number for production
machines as PXXX. Press Return to exit and Y to confirm.
4. Now check that the revised details are valid by running the Reg_power test:
registry> reg_powerup
2. You can select one of the following options, depending on the type of error:
Run System Self-Tests and Run Media Self-Tests.
Run System Self-Tests
3. This function runs all the recorder System diagnostics, see Section 10.2.3. If
all the tests pass, then the display shows a Tick icon:
4. Press Return to reboot and commence scanning. If a self-test fails, the Error
Handling screen for the Error Group appears.
Run Media Self-Tests
5. Selecting this option runs a set of tests on all the media handling devices from
the cassette to the processor. The screen shows a Location icon and a Wait
Timer as the tests progress:
6. As the tests run through each module, the film path on the Error Location icon
turns from grey to black. To check that all the sensors are operating correctly,
a sheet of film, from each cassette, is passed through the media path and
ejected. See Section 10.2.3.13.
7. If all the tests pass, then the display remains unchanged. If a test fails, the
screen for a media transport error appears. See Section 10.2.9.6.
Most of the main errors on the recorder are located as a single flashing module
highlighted on a cross-cut view of the recorder, shown in Figure 10.27.
