Crop modes MS01 offers different crop choices. For this example, assume that the original product
size and image dimensions are:
8x10 Image

4x6 Product
3.5x5 Image

Fill in Print area is filled with image and there may be image data lost if it does not
crop match the aspect ratio of the print size selected. Output will have no white
mode space.
8 x 10 Image 3.5 x 5 Image

Fit in Fits the image into the size selected leaving it at its current aspect ratio to
crop maintain all the image data. This will produce white space if the image is not
mode the same aspect ratio as the size selected.
8 x 10 Image 3.5 x 5 Image

No Image is rendered on the product without resizing. Takes the size selected
resize and cuts out the center portion of the image (think of it as a cookie cutter). If
crop the image is smaller than the size selected it will produce white space.
mode 8 x 10 Image 3.5 x 5 Image

and automatically re-launch if terminated.
Panda (Printer One of the sub-applications of the MS01 system, Panda provides an interface between
And Device the Digital Link Request Spooler (Simon) and various devices, such as printers and CD-
Application) writers. It manages device operations and provides status and messages to the rest of
the system in a consistent manner to ensure that devices may easily be interchanged or
added, as needed.
Personality Custom MS system settings associated with a particular Fujifilm region or retailer.
PIC Photo Imaging Controller, now known as IC.

mark Start-up and Shut-down Guide.
On the FMPC, this is an emergency shutdown for only the Panda application. This will
not power off the FMPC box. Note: This is not the proper shut-down procedure for this
device; only do this if directed to do so by Technical Support.
Important: For systems that are not connected to the Fujifilm fulfillment network, this
function can be used as a proper method of shutting down the system.
For systems that are connected to the Fujifilm fulfillment network, this should be treated
as an emergency shut-down command only. By clicking this button, you are not
performing a proper shut-down procedure. Only use this button if instructed to do so by
Technical Support.
Retain Print Enables you to retain the size, surface, and color settings between orders.
Settings
Rimage This is a third-party CD burning device designed for high volumes of CD creation. This
system allows multiple CDs to be written simultaneously. The Rimage system can print
labels directly onto CDs. Depending on the model of Rimage, it may have two or four
CD burners and a single printer.
S3 Variety Print Service for SP 3000 scanners not using FrontMan.
S5 Professional Software for SP 3000 scanners not using FrontMan.
Scan Modes Auto When using film input, if the operator selects Auto as the scan mode, the
system scans six images at a time without requiring the operator to press
<Enter>. Pressing any key on the keyboard will stop the Auto Mode and will

MS01 Adjust Images Screen > Setup 2

A Sharpness Controls the clarity of detail in the selected image(s) by slightly adjusting color around edges.
Options in the drop-down menu range from High 3 to Low 3.
B Basic Color Adjusts the contrast of flesh tones. Standard is a special mathematical formula for a standard
Mode scene. Portrait mode tends to make flesh tones smoother by lowering the contrast of the skin
tones. Other objects in the scene can also be affected and the result can be a slightly lower
contrast print.
C Bright Mode Adjusts the saturation without changing the flesh tones of the image. By selecting +4, the
saturation of all colors except the flesh tones is increased. In contrast, if the operator selects -2, all
the colors except the flesh tones are de-saturated.
D Tone Adjust Adjusts the contrast and shadows of the image based on preconfigured settings. This feature will
adjust the contrast and shadows to varying degrees, based on the selected setting.
E Saturation Controls how vivid colors appear in the image. This setting ranges from -9 (removes all color and
makes the image black and white) to 9 (saturates all the colors of the image) and can be set by
using the drop-down menu on the Saturation button.
