INTRODUCTION

This manual outlines the maintenance and servicing procedures, electrical diagram and parts list for
the Frontier Manager Printer Controller (referred to as FMPC) for Fujifilm Digital Minilab FRONTIER
350/370/355/375/570.

This manual is a professional publication provided for qualified service personnel or other persons
fully trained in equipment service procedures. All other personnel and operators are restricted from
servicing the FMPC. When maintenance service is needed, be sure to contact qualified service
personnel.

Precautions Generally Applying to All Servicing Operations


 

When servicing internal machine parts, make sure the power switch and the main power
supply on the power distribution board are both set to the OFF position.
If the main power is left ON, electricity will flow as far as the power switch and power supply
section, and this can cause electric shocks and/or short-circuiting.
If the power is left on, there is also the possibility for the machine to be accidentally activated
causing damage to the machine and/or bodily injury.

The light source section and dryer will be hot to the touch. Wait 15 minutes after turning off
the power before commencing with servicing procedures.

IMPORTANT 
IMPORTANT describes improper handling procedures that may adversely affect performance
or damage the equipment.

NOTE: 
NOTE designates those items, provisions, and supplementary explanations for which it is
important to maintain methodical concern and consideration relative to operational
procedures.

prints with 127mm and 381mm feed lengths.

5 Measure the feed lengths of the prints fed out


and calculate the increment using the formula
below.

Increment = 254 – (Measured Value of


381mm – Measured Value of 127mm)

<Example>
Measured Value of 381mm = 380.0mm
Measured Value of 127mm = 126.4mm
Increment = 254 – (380 – 126.4) = 0.4
