Accuset had a firmware error in centronics communication. You should use an old (286) pc to send data or use a specific msdos utility that mitigated the miscommunication back then (1990+). You better send data through rs232 in stead of censtronis. Works well and for PCB the potscript sizes are...

You can mount the 2,5'' disk in a linux system and make a copy (backup) if required [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED before start messing around], or mount it to an other windows installation and "load hive" temporary into registry, so you can edit something if required...etc Of course there are other...

For console access: Use the PS/2 keyboard and keep pressing SHIFT while it boots. It will not logon and run the program. But you need a username (and password) to logon... It may can be found in DefaultPassword key in the registry.

Thanks for the replies. I have checked the -5Vdc PSU and IF I enable it (it has remote power on) it works fine. This is the first PSU the customer brought to me for inspection. This PSU has no noticable ripple and is capable of providing the necessary power. The problem is that the laser cpu...

Hello, I am trying to locate the cause of this trouble (error Exe09) on a TopSetter 74. CTP cannot be initialized,indicates: "Irregular 5 V power supply". The 5V power supply was not faulty but an other PSU was checked just to be sure. The voltage is adjusted as stated in service manual (5V +-...

You may also have wrong ppd selected, or in case of printing thru old Quark version, check the film width before pressing print button.

It's really a difficult problem to solve. About the drum driver pcb. I have noticed in a machine witch suddenly rotated with full revolution for some moments (and acted like 7 Richter earthquake:D) that the 5V voltage on the PCB was 4,6V actually. This can be measured with a digital volt meter...

I do not have experience with lino 330 with external RIP, so I do not know what is the cable or PC/MAC card you are using. The signal "Imagesetter not acknowledging start of job" you mention, is definitely a signal (one digital line, probably transfered by two cables as a differential signal)...

agree with michaelejahn about the cable. Make sure cables are not hanging from connectors because they are quite heavy (and after so manyyyyy years, the female connector pins are a little bit "expanded"). Tie them up, so they are vertical to lino surface.

I cannot think of an exact cause for 1cm banding. I think motor would have step of smaller than 1 mm (because of the belts/dividers) and capstan encoder should have greater that 5cm. I would check: motors encoder (back side of motor). Capstan encoder (on side of capstan opposite to the belts)...

The test#2 you posted is good. This meens your laser electronic board is calibrated/working correctly (no droop problem). What resolution is this test that you printed? -------------- All the errors that you have seen, are jobs transmitted from the RIP (and various components included in this...

Still haven't seen machine tests of yours (like test pattern#2). In every photo you gave, RIP, SCSI, cables, Pelbox are involved.

If you have a look at the last image on this message, it's pretty clear what direction is the problem... Yes, but before throw away the spinner, worth a try...

@maxon: I have not seen ball bearing spinners (the aluminum color ones) in Mako series, only in VR(L) (older ones). I do not know if at the beginning of them, factory used those old motors. @Aristide: the spinner motor was a black one? It may need the encoder on it's back to be cleaned. This is...

a) there is a posibility of laser SOL sensor error (the sensor that checks the beggining of the "film" - actualy is the Start Of scan Line). This sensor should be cleaned (left front side, above the knife module) with alchohol. This can be done by you. If this didn't solve the problem...

what are the "symptoms" on G3? Have you changed the Lithium battery? Does the power supply works?

1st hint: Check disk for problems (chkdsk.exe). question: when RIP freezes, the hard disk activity LED is active and stays active?

Did you replaced NVRAM and restored parameters?

If you have a technitian supporting your shop, maybe worth to try make a new cable. The cable will connect this pci card to the gray IDC40 connector (bottom right of next picture) The cable that can be made for testing is a normal: with the one end changed to connector matching the PCI card...

print a test from the control panel and see if accuset machine is in working condition (offline, test, try test#0 for example,...)
