Loading Film Sheets

About the film tray

The printer is equipped with two film trays.

Film tray 1

In the factory default condition, this is set for film size 14 × 17 (about 353 × 430 mm). This is also used for the output tray.

Film tray 2

In the factory default condition, this is set for film size 8 × 10 (about 202 × 253 mm).

To use films of other sizes, contact your Sony dealer to have the tray size changed.

Confirming the remaining amount of film

The LCD allows you to confirm the size and remaining amount of film sheets.

When the film sheets loaded in either film tray 1 or film tray 2 have been used up:

On the row corresponding to the tray where film sheets have been used up, the message "Set Film" is displayed.

When the film sheets loaded in both trays have been used up:

The message “Set Film” is displayed on both rows. The ALARM indicator lights in orange.

Loading film sheets

Proceed as follows to load film sheets.

The following explains how to load film sheets using film tray 1 as an example. Load film sheets in the lower tray in the same way as you do for the upper tray.

Notes

- Hold the film using the damp-proof bag. Do not touch the film directly. Dust, finger prints, or sweat are likely to cause unsatisfactory printing.

- Hold both sides of the film tray and tray cover tightly when handling the film tray.

1 Push the EJECT TRAY button for film tray 1 on the front panel.

Film tray 1 is partially ejected.

Notes

- You can load film sheets without pulling out the film tray completely out. However, if you want to pull out it completely, hold both sides of the film tray and film tray cover firmly.

- The film tray cannot be ejected during printing or when the covers are open.

- Even when film sheets have run out in the middle of continuous printing, you can load new film sheets in the vacant film tray. (See page 25.)

2 Open the film tray cover by putting your fingers in the grooves on both sides of film tray 1, and pulling it upward in the direction of the arrow.

Pull it upward in the direction of the arrow, putting your fingers in the grooves.

Note

If the old printing surface protection sheet remains in film tray 1, remove it.

3 Remove the damp-proof bag from the carton.
4 Open the damp-proof bag by tearing at the pre-cut tabs.

Note

Remove the seal after loading the film into film tray 1. If you remove it before loading, the film sheets may slip and drop.

5

Hold the damp-proof bag with both hands so that the opened side faces toward the inner side of the tray and place film sheets in the film tray so that the printing surface faces down, with the printing surface protection sheet on the bottom.

Blue thermal film with printing surface facing down

Place the film sheets with the printing surface facing down and the printing surface protection sheet on the bottom.

An IC tag is attached to the printing surface protection sheet. Be careful not to damage the IC tag or give it a shock.

Notes

• When handling the film sheets, do not touch the printing surface of the film sheet. Dust, finger prints, or sweat are likely to cause unsatisfactory printing.
• Load the film sheets so that they lay flat in the film tray. If the film sheets are curled, they will overflow the film tray and the printing position may shift. Also, it may cause film sheet jamming.
• If you place the film sheets in the film tray with their printing surface facing up by mistake, it is recommended that you clean the thermal head with the cleaning kit (supplied). See “Cleaning the thermal head” (on page 39).

- Do not add film sheets halfway through one bag of film sheets. The reason for this is because the unit counts the remaining film sheets using the IC tag on the printing protection sheet on the bottom of the pile of sheets.

6

Remove the seal used to secure the film sheets in the package from the film sheets placed in the film tray.

①Remove the sticky part of the seal, pulling the blank part of the seal toward you.

②Pull the blank portion of the seal out of the film tray, and remove the seal from the film tray completely.

Note

If the seal is caught by the cover of the film tray, or is left curled in the film tray, this may cause film sheet jamming. Be sure to remove the seal completely from the film tray.

③Close the film tray cover.

7 Insert film tray 1.

After a few seconds, the film tray is locked and the following message appears on the LCD.

To calibrate the printing density

We recommend calibrating the printing density of the loaded film by referring to “Calibrating the Printing Density” on page 31.

Notes

- Be sure to insert film tray 1 all the way into the unit until it stops. When the film tray is not inserted completely and the film sheets are not loaded correctly, the following message appears on the LCD.

- If you try to insert the film tray into the wrong film tray side, you cannot do so because the stopper prohibits you from inserting the tray all the way in.

If the cover of the film tray comes off

Remove the film tray and re-attach the cover.

When using size 8 × 10 (about 202 × 253 mm) film Insert the film sheets securely as the printing surface protection sheet passes over the stopper located in the film tray.

Stopper

If you can see the film sheets in the film tray If you slant the film tray, film sheets may move to the outlet of the film tray. This may cause film jamming. In such a case, put the film sheets back inside the film tray by pushing them with your finger, as shown below.

Notes on storing film sheets

• To store a half-used film sheets for a long time, remove them from the film tray, and store them in a cool, dark place in the sealed damp-proof bag.
• Store unopened packages in a cool, dark place.

Printing

Before printing

• Ensure that the unit is properly connected to the LAN. (Page 15)
• Ensure that the film sheets are properly loaded in the film tray. (Page 18)

1 Press the ⏻ON/STANDBY switch to turn the unit on. After turning on the power, the message below should appear as shown on the LCD.

Reserved
Printing	The printer is printing.

During printing, messages indicating the printer status are shown on the LCD panel, along with information about jobs sent to the printer, sorted by media.

Example: Image sent to film tray 1 (size 14 × 17 (about 353 × 430 mm) film)

During image processing, the following indication appears on the LCD panel.

When image data processing is completed, printing starts. The LCD panel indication changes as follows.

While the "Printing" message is shown, the remaining film sheet count is decremented by 1.

After about 60 seconds, the first printed image will be ejected from the output tray.

When all images have been printed, the LCD panel returns to the standard screen.

Notes

• During printing, do not open the covers.
• Depending on the combination of film sizes in trays 1 and 2 and the output tray type, the indication "OutputTrayMismatch" may appear. In such a case, the output tray size must be changed. Please contact your Sony dealer to have the size adjustment performed.
• To prevent film jamming, do not allow more than 30 printouts to remain on the film output slot. Depending on usage conditions, the message "Remove Prints" may appear or the indication "Rmv Prt" may be shown in the film tray status field even if fewer than 30 printouts have accumulated. Also, ejected printouts may drop from the output tray.
• Do not put a printout which has been removed from the film output slot back inside the film output slot. This may cause film jamming.

If the unit does not print

When an error message is displayed on the LCD, the unit does not print. Take remedies according to the information given in “Messages” (on page 43).

Note

When the message “Set Film” or “Rmv Prt” appears on a row of the LCD, the unit stops printing from the corresponding film tray. However, the unit will continue printing in the other film tray. In this case, printing order may change.

Notes on storing your printouts

• Do not leave the printouts in direct sunlight or bright room light. Store in a cool, low-humidity place (under 25°C ( 77°F )). We recommend storing the printouts in a polypropylene pouch in a cabinet.
• Do not allow water or any volatile organic solvent such as alcohol or benzine to come in contact with the printouts. This can cause fading of the printouts. If the printouts come in contact with such liquid, wipe them off quickly.
• Adhesives from cellophane tape or PVC will cause fading of the printout. Be careful when storing printouts.
• Do not stack the printouts on or under a freshly developed diazo copy sheet as this could cause the film sheets to fade or stick to each other.

Miscellaneous

Precautions

Safety

• Operate the unit using the power source specified in "Specifications" (on page 41).
• Be careful not to damage the AC power cord by placing or dropping heavy objects on it; it is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged AC power cord.
• If you do not intend to use the unit for a long time, disconnect the AC power cord.
• Unplug the AC power cord by grasping the plug, not the cable itself.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not remove the cabinet. There is a danger of electric shock from the internal parts.
• Be careful not to spill water or other liquids on the unit, or to allow combustible or metallic material to enter the cabinet. If used with foreign matter in the cabinet, the unit is liable to fail, or present a risk of fire or electric shock.
• If the unit malfunctions or if a foreign body falls into the cabinet, disconnect the power immediately and consult your Sony dealer.

Installation

Avoid placing the unit in a location subject to:

• mechanical vibration
  – high humidity
  – excessive dust
  – direct or excessive sunlight
  – extremely high or low temperatures

Ventilation holes are provided to prevent the unit from overheating. Be careful not to obstruct them with other units or by covering the unit with a cloth etc.

Condensation

• If the unit is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, such as when it is moved from a cold room to a warm room or when it is left in a room with a heater that tends to produce large amounts of moisture, condensation may form inside the printer. In such cases the printer will probably not work properly, and may even develop a fault if you persist in using it. If moisture condensation forms, turn off the power and allow the printer to stand for at least one hour.
• If the film is subjected to wide and sudden changes in temperature, condensation may form on the film in the film tray. This will cause the printer to malfunction.

Also, if the film is used in this state, spots are likely to appear on the printout.

• To store a half-used package of film, replace the film in its original packing and reseal the package. If possible, before using sealed film, place it, in its sealed package, in a warm room for several hours. Doing so prevents condensation from forming when the film is removed from its package.

Transporting the Unit

Before transporting the printer, remove the output tray, remove any film sheets from the film tray, and then pack the unit in the original packing material. Transporting the unit with accessories still installed or with film in the film tray may cause malfunction.

Cleaning the Cabinet

This is known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may damage the unit.

LCD image display

Due the physical characteristics of LCD panels, there may be a decrease in brightness or change in color temperature over a long period of use. These problems are not a malfunction.

In addition, these occurrences will not affect recorded data.

The fan is a consumable part that will need periodic replacement.

When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about 5 years.

However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of this part is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.

The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5 years under normal operating temperatures and normal usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month). If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.

Completion Check

After the setup procedure is completed, perform the following steps to verify that the settings have been correctly implemented.

1 Connect the unit to the network.
2 Turn on the unit.
3 Mount a tray with blue thermal film loaded.
4 Send image data from the modality. If the unit has been set up correctly, printing starts.

If printing does not start, the image data have not reached the printer. This means that the network settings are incorrect.

Check the IP address and other network settings of the unit, and also verify that the correct settings are being used at the modality side.
