Hardware Problems

This section discusses compatibility issues between PCR II Plus and
other hardware devices.

Macintosh SCSI Interface Troubleshooting

If you are using the PCR II Plus with a Macintosh host computer and
you cannot access the film recorder, check the following, one at a time.
• Make sure that PCR II Plus is on.
• Make sure that PCR II Plus is in the idle state and the front panel
message window indicates a ready condition.
• Check the PCR II Plus SCSI address. Make sure that it is unique.
• Make sure that the end of the SCSI chain is terminated.
• Try disabling the PCR II Plus internal termination.
• Try using a single SCSI cable between the Mac and PCR II Plus, or
try using another set of SCSI cables.

General Image and Rasterization Problems

Various image quality problems may occur when you use third-party
rasterizers not designed specifically for film-recording applications.
Some problems may be caused by the rasterizer's inability to keep up
with PCR II Plus imaging speed. Use the PCR II Plus pacing control to
ensure a smooth data flow from a slower rasterizer. See Chapter 5 for
more information about pacing control.
