Enhanced Information Display; Artifact Warning Indicators - Polaroid 8035 Repair Manual

8K Series ProPalette Repair Manual
To replace the camera back:
1. Remove the lens cap and store it in the holder in the front door.
2. Be sure the locking lever is set to the unlocked ( ) position.
3. Push the 35mm camera back gently but firmly onto the mounting plate so the
positioning pins fit in the holes, and so the edge connector fits snugly into the
slot in the recorder. Turn the locking lever to the locked ( ) position.

Enhanced Information Display

On the 8K Series ProPalette models, the current film table name appears on the LCD
display during the red exposure to help prevent film table selection mistakes.
The actual resolution (in pixels) also displays during the green exposure. This feature
demonstrates the unique ProPalette variable resolution capability (i.e., bitmap images
exposed at their native resolution without time consuming and image degrading pixel
interpolation or re-rendering).

Artifact Warning Indicators

On the 8K Series ProPalette models (8035, 8045, 8067), the LCD warns when the host
computer is unable to maintain the steady supply of pixel data needed for artifact-free
images. (The artifacts are thin dark horizontal lines, particularly noticeable in pastel
regions of the image.)
The warning sign appears in front of the line number during the exposure and remains
visible until the next image. The symbol displayed indicates the delay time in the data
and the likely impact on the image as follows:
Display
underscore ("_")
dash ("-")
equal sign ("=")
If artifact warnings occur, the operator should do one of the following to avoid artifacts:
• Turn on "buffer to disk" if the software driver supports it.
• Shut down unnecessary applications competing with the driver.
• Move images from a heavily loaded network to a local drive.
• Rotate, crop, or scale before starting the exposure.
• Add more memory, disk space , or CPU power to the PC.
• Increase the pacing setting via the keypad or the driver.
