1 Operational Safety and Use Conditions
Before using the equipment, read carefully and understand thoroughly the precautions set forth in
this section.
The safety precautions are classified into WARNING and CAUTION categories.
Supplementary operating instructions are given under IMPORTANT and NOTE categories.
These four categories are defined as follows.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or
even death.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices and property-damage-only accidents.
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.
:
describes additional comment or useful information.
7
1.1 Safety
1.1.1 Basic Operating Precautions
• When accessing the machine interior for inspection or servicing, shut down the system by proceeding with
the post-operational checks, place the built-in circuit breaker in the OFF position, and turn OFF the main
power circuit breaker.
Inspecting or servicing the inside of the machine with the main power circuit breaker left ON may expose
personnel to hazardous conditions and damage the machine.
• If the machine emits smoke, generates an abnormal sound or its external surface becomes unduly hot,
immediately stop using it, set the power switch to STANDBY, place the built-in circuit breaker in the OFF
position, turn OFF the main power circuit breaker, and contact your local dealer.
z Do not modify the machine without permission from the manufacturer because safety assurance features
and other essential functions may be impaired. If the machine needs to be modified, contact your local
dealer.
x Never remove covers or other parts that are screwed down to avoid the risk of electric shock or injury to
personnel. If any parts need to be unscrewed, contact your local dealer.
• Use only Fujifilm-recommended replacement parts.
IMPORTANT
If parts other than those recommended by Fujifilm are used, the warranty will be voided.
1.1.2 Caution regarding Electric Shock
Utmost care should be taken as the machine is connected to 200/210/220/230/240V AC power sources.
Avoid the possibility of electric shock by noting the following:
• Never operate the machine if it is wet.

• Never operate the machine if the surrounding floor is wet.
• Ensure the electrical earth connection is permanently made.
• Ensure that all cables are undamaged and correctly connected.
8
1.2 Room Conditions
• Temperature: 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F)

Ambient room temperatures above 30°C (86°F) or below 15°C (59°F) will destabilize processing and
replenisher solution temperatures to the detriment of processing performance. Pay special attention to
room temperatures in wintertime and maintain solution temperatures within designated ranges.
• Relative Humidity: 30% to 70%

Relative humidities above 70% will result in inadequate printer paper transport or improper paper drying,
producing abnormal prints. Maintain the ambient room relative humidity within the range of 30% to 70%
RH at all times.
• Ventilation
Provide a vent close to the processor section and maintain adequate ventilation.
• Illumination: 500 lux or lower

Maintain room illumination levels so that no more than 500 lux falls on the scanner and printer upper
surfaces. Should the equipment main body or paper magazine be exposed to direct outside light or strong
reflected light, use curtains or blinds to shield the equipment from such extraneous light.
REFERENCE:
Two 40W fluorescent lamps provide 500 lux of illumination at a distance of 1 meter (3.3 ft.).
NOTE:
Excessively high indoor illumination levels will adversely affect the quality of finished prints.
1.3 Main Control Unit for FMPC Handling Precautions
1.3.1 Main Control Unit FMPC
To prevent damage to the system, abide by the following points.
• Do not install any application software without Fujifilm’s consent.

• Do not modify the data structure or data in the hard disk.
• Do not open the main control unit without the consent of Fujifilm’s service representative.
• Do not add to or modify expansion cards or RAM cards.
• Do not reboot using the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] keys.

5.3 Precaution for Use of PU800B
The PU800B can be connected to the FMPC only when using the SP1500/2000 as scanner. When using it by
connecting to the FMPC, the billing information about digitizing (Fujicolor CD) is not outputted.
When connecting the PU800B to the SP1500/2000/3000, the billing information about DSC print is not
outputted.
The PU800B cannot be used in the system that contains the Frontier Manager.
Precaution when connecting the PU800B to the FMPC
The billing information is not outputted when printing is performed with the print size from entry No.51 to the
last on the “[424] Print Size Setup” screen.
When the above is done together with the index print, only the billing for latter is outputted from the PU800B.
When the DSC printing is performed in the Imaging Controller by using the print size of entry No.50, the total
of DSC print basic price and printing price is printed on the same column of the receipt(Price itselt is correct).
The PU800B uses “Sort No” as the receipt No. in the film printing, and the last 4 digit of the Order No. in the
DSC printing. (For example, when the Order No. is A00123, “0123” is used as the receipt No.)
