Operating In Manual Mode - Kodak DryView 8100 User Manual

Operating in Manual Mode

The calibration sheets produced by the imager (and the density patch at the top of
each film) are products of the Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) system. This
system ensures that density, contrast and other image quality parameters are
constantly fine-tuned to produce high quality images.
An error code P631 or P632 displayed on the Local Panel indicates that calibration
has failed, that a print has failed to meet the AIQC standard. This occurrence is
usually the result of aging film, and if you load a new film cartridge the error probably
will not recur. If, however, the error does recur with the new film, you will have to call
service to analyze the problem. Until the Field Engineer arrives, you can choose to
run the imager in "manual" mode, without AIQC. To operate in manual mode:
1. Simultaneously press the O Key and the Calibrate Key on the Local Panel. The
message P561 Manual Mode will display.
Note
While manual mode is in effect, the imager will not produce calibration prints
and prints will not include density patches.
2. Run a print and check image quality. As long as image quality is acceptable, you
can continue to run prints until the Field Engineer has repaired the imager
problem. At this point you can resume operating with AIQC in effect.
3. To exit manual mode and enter AIQC mode, press the Calibrate Key on the
Local Panel. (Loading a new film cartridge will return the imager to AIQC mode, if
the new film is within the required operating parameters.)
Note
Manual Mode can be entered only when the P631 or P632 error code has been
displayed.
