    6.1 INTRODUCTION The Priport Controller is an external PostScript® and PCL-5® compatible processor designed to add a computer interface to Priport Digital Duplicators. Since it is separate from the Priport, the designers were able to use high-speed techniques making it one of the fastest add-on processors available.

  • Page 298: Ram Upgrade Procedure

    6.8 RAM UPGRADE PROCEDURE The RAM in the PCRIP-10 consists of four (4) - 1 Megabyte by 8 (or 9) Single-Inline-Memory-Modules (SIMMs) running at 70 nanoseconds. A SIMM consists of a very small (appr. 3/4" inch by 3 1/2" inches) printed ciruit board (PCB) with 30 contact fingers which plug into sockets on the main board of the PCRIP-10.
  • Page 299 3. Remove the 3 screws from each side and 2 screws from the backpanel which hold the chassis lid in place. 4. Remove the chassis lid and set it aside. 5. With the chassis oriented with the 2 LED’s facing you, the 4 SIMMs to be replaced are located directly to your right.
  • Page 300 11. Gently rotate the top of the SIMM away from you until you see the clips on each end of the socket engage. Check to see if the prongs of the clips are inserted in both of the small holes at each end of the SIMM. When correctly inserted, the SIMM should be firmly seated in the socket.
  • Page 301 Next, verify that the newly installed SIMMs are, in fact, 70 ns in speed. As mentioned in the purchase specification above, 80 ns SIMMs do not respond quickly enough to work with the Intel CF processor in the PCRIP-10 and can not be used! Check that all the newly installed SIMMs are 4 Megabyte X 8 (or 9) and that you have not accidently reinstalled one of the 1 Megabyte X 9 SIMMs you removed.

    6.11 HARDWARE INSTALLATION 1. The Controller is connected by cables between both the computer and the Priport. (The computer and Priport are not directly connected to each other.) The inputs to the Priport Controller replicate those of a standard printer, including Parallel, RS-232 Serial and AppleTalk® inputs. Simply remove the cable from the printer and insert it into the appropriately labeled connector on the backpanel of the Controller.

  • Page 315: Commonly Asked Questions

    6.17 COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1.How far can I have the Controller from the computer? The official specification for parallel cables recommends a length not greater than 10 feet (appr. 3 meters), however you can probably use a cable up to 25 feet (appr. 8 meters) without encountering any line communication problems.
  • Page 316 7. How much RAM memory does the Controller have? It comes standard with 4 megabytes of RAM. 8. What if my file size is over 4 megabytes? Will the Controller be able to process the file? Under most circumstances, the answer is yes, due to a process built into the Controller called "power banding".
  • Page 317 13. Will the Controller work on a network? Yes, if the Controller is connected to a host computer. The computer used as a host for the Controller can be the file server, a printer server or any one of the network nodes. Other than the AppleTalk port for Macintosh networks, there is no port on the Controller, at this time, which allows for a connection directly to the network.
  • Page 318: Troubleshooting

    6.18 TROUBLESHOOTING The following are symptoms you might encounter and the appropriate solution for each: 1. There is a quick flash of the ready light. An error condition has been detected in the Priport. First, check for a loose or missing cable between the Controller and the Priport. Next, check the control panel of the Priport for a flashing master jam indicator.
  • Page 319 If none of the steps above have produced any master making, it is possible that the PostScript file you are trying to print may be corrupted. You can test for actual Postscript output by printing the Diagnostic Status Page through the Configuration Program. If you can not successfully print this page (which is a special PostScript-compatible file), you should contact your local service organization for help.

  • Page 343: Master Eject Section

    1. MASTER EJECT SECTION 1.1 MASTER EJECT ROLLER DRIVE MECHANISM The DC motor located in the rear of the machine will drive the master eject rollers [B] and [E] through the timing belt [C] and gear train [D]. When the master eject solenoid (not shown) is energized, the lower master eject rollers [E] will be pressed against the drum surface to pick up the curled trailing edge of the used master.
  • Page 344: Presure Plate Up/Down Mechanism

    1.2 PRESURE PLATE UP/DOWN MECHANISM After the used master is transported to the master eject box, the master is compressed by the pressure plate. The pressure plate is driven by an independent dc motor. The pressure plate motor [A] drive is transmitted to the gear [B] through gears, and the pin [C] will move the link [D] downward until the lower pressure plate sensor [E] is actuated.
  • Page 345: Optics

    2. OPTICS 2.1 OVERALL The CCD [A] which corresponds to a 300 dpi pixel density is used in the VT2200. The light reflected from the original is sent to the CCD through a lens. The CCD changes the reflected light into an analog electrical signal which will then be converted into a 4-bit digital data in the A/D conversion PCB will then convert.
