The purpose of this Maintenance Manual is to provide technical information to support board- level troubleshooting and maintenance of the Wide Format Scanners models: GA67D (COUGAR 25, COUGAR 25 PLUS) GB67D (COUGAR 36, COUGAR 36 PLUS) GC67D (CHAMELEON 25, CHAMELEON 25 PLUS) GD67D (CHAMELEON 36, CHAMELEON 36 PLUS)
CHAMELEON 36 PLUS (enhanced level of functionality) The basic versions of the scanners (COUGAR 36 and CHAMELEON 36) may be field upgraded to the enhanced versions (COUGAR 36 PLUS and CHAMELEON 36 PLUS) by replacing the BASIC Smart Card with a PLUS Smart Card.
FSG/MTM/001 060511 The scanlines from the individual cameras are mechanically aligned (by means of a small electric motor) in the vertical direction. The Vertical Alignment and the Horizontal Stitching may be done automatically by means of either SCANtest 6, Test 11 or as part the Scanner Maintenance calibration procedure.
FSG/MTM/001 060511 IEEE 1394 Controller (FireWire) SCSI Controller for IEEE 1394 interface respectively SCSI interface. In order to stitch (bring together) the scanlines from adjacent cameras, the fields of vision of the CCD-Cameras overlap slightly and a thin, black wire placed within the overlapped fields of vision marks the virtual end, respectively start, of adjacent scanlines.

The light output from the lamp is stabilized by feedback to the lamp power supply board (LME). Each CCD-Camera in the scanner contains one 7500 x (3+1) pixel (RGB Triplets + Panchromatic B/W) CCD.

The purpose of the scanner test program, SCANtest 6, is to support troubleshooting and adjustment of Contex Wide Format Scanners. SCANtest 6 for Win98/2000/Me/NT4.0 is available from the Contex web-site: www.contex.com When SCANtest 6 has been started, the scanner is switched into Test Mode, and the Diagnostic LED Indicator on the Operator Panel is turned ON.
FSG/MTM/001 060511 10.1 Description of SCANtest 6 10.1.1 Test 1, Scanner Information Purpose: To display scanner data and to enter or change the serial number of the scanner. The serial number is stored in Flash memory on the SUC-Board. The following is displayed: Scanner Model: Firmware Release: Firmware Release Date:...
FSG/MTM/001 060511 Actuator Original Entry Sensor Ready (Green) Original Exit Sensor Ready (Green) Adjustment Slider for Media Thickness Wait 10.1.5 Test 5, Lamp Test Purpose: To test the Lamp and associated electronics. Description: A message on the screen will inform whether the Lamp is turned ON or OFF (Lamp power is turned ON/OFF) and whether the Light is ON/OFF (Light is detected or not).
FSG/MTM/001 060511 The screen image may be saved or printed. Test 11 allows manual setting of the Stitch Values. The Stitch Values are stored in the Flash Memory on the SUC-Board. The Vertical Alignment may be adjusted manually by controlling the Camera Motor from the control field ‘<<dddd>>’.
Page 179
FSG/MTM/001 060511 White vertical lines in the scanned image may be found even if Noise Test shows a perfectly ‘clean’ scanner. In this case, the cause may be white dust or particles on the backside of the Glass Plate having the same color as the white background. In this case, the Light Profiles of SCANtest 6, Test 9 may show upwards going spikes when a dark original is placed in the scan-area.
FSG/MTM/001 060511 10.1.13 Test 21, SCANdump Purpose: To create a file, SCANdump.con, which contains Light Profiles and other scanner data for diagnostics purposes. Description: The file SCANdump.con will be placed in the directory pointed to by the SET TEMP environment variable. The files contained in SCANdump.con may be unpacked by SCANview 6 by double clicking on SCANdump.con.

FSG/MTM/002 060511 3.10 LCA (used in XL 42 scanners) In the XL 42 scanners the lamp has been replaced by a Lamp Cartridge which consists of a lamp and a light sensor. Each Lamp Cartridge is factory calibrated which means that the Lamp Cartridge can be replaced without the need for adjustment.
Page 225
FSG/MTM/002 060511 4. CCD Camera In the XL 42 scanners a new camera design has been used. The new camera differs mostly in the way the basic vertical position (camera tilt) is set/adjusted. As on the old cameras the vertical position is adjusted by turning the Vertical Adjustment Screw (located under the camera housing) which tilts the camera.
Page 226
FSG/MTM/002 060511 • On the fixed camera (camera B) locate the “upper half of the Vertical Alignment Arm” which is attached to the spindle console. • Loosen the fixing screw and remove the arm. The end opposite to the spindle end is now used as a spanner for adjusting the Vertical Position.

FSG/MTM/002 060511 4.3.2 Check and Adjustment of Focus IMPORTANT: The focus adjustment is factory optimized for all three colors (Red, Green and Blue) which may cause that the focus signal for Blue is not as even as it could be. This is especially important on multi camera scanners in order to avoid visible camera transitions.
