5-3. Overview of Hardware Differences Between the 8600 and 8300
The 8600 is a high resolution (655 dpi) version of the 8300 (300 dpi). The throughput is 25 films per
hour compared to the 8300's 55 films per hour. Most of the parts of the 8600 are the same as those
used in the 8300 with the exception of the following:
Optics Module – Redesigned to scan in the X axis at a higher rate than the 8300, and print
5025 image pixels compared to 2256 pixels in the 8300.
Digital Input Module – Redesigned for the 8600, but will eventually be adopted for the 8300 also.
CPU PWA – Redesigned to handle changes in total throughput and four memory SIMMs slots.
Memory SIMMs – 72 pin, 32 Mb SIMMs, combinable for up to a total of 128 Mb.
Motor Control PWA – Redesigned to drive the capstan motor at a slow rate.
Film Feed Roller – Redesigned to be lighter in weight to reduce scuff types of scratches.
Developer Drum – Uses softer surface gray material (like that used in the 8700) to reduce any
possible surface signature on the films that is possible with the hard surface red drums.
Processor Assembly – Only difference is that it includes the gray drum instead of red.
Separator Motor and Gearbox – Changed to a synchronous from a stepper motor to reduce
vibration banding and artifacts.
Capstan Drive Belt – Different size because it is used to transfer drive from the capstan motor to a
reduction pulley. In the 8300 the capstan pulley was driven directly from the capstan motor.
(See Figure 3.)
Capstan Reduction Pulley – New part to reduce the speed of the capstan roller. (See Figure 3.)
Reduction Pulley Shaft – New part to hold the Capstan Reduction Pulley. (See Figure 3.)
Capstan Belt – New part to transfer drive from the reduction pulley to the capstan pulley.
(See Figure 3.)
Capstan Pulley – Different size because used in conjunction with the reduction pulley.
(See Figure 3.)
Top Cover – Same as the top cover used on the 8300 except that the model name decal indicates
8600.
Remote Keypad – Not currently expected to be used, but it is the same as the 8300 keypad except
that the model decal indicates 8600.
Note
The 8600 DryView film is specially selected DryView blue for high resolution imaging and is
referred to as DVM.
