Uniformity “Uniformity” function adjusts the bright/white uniformity of the screen influenced by the earth magnetism or other environmental factors. There are two adjustment modes in the “Uniformity” function; “Standard” and “Custom”. If some color patches remain in the corners after the standard adjustment (selection of the best uniformity point), use the “Custom” for finer adjustments. Standard 1) Select the “Uniformity” function.
Custom E Push the left arrow key Push the right arrow key Push the up arrow key Push the down arrow key (Top/Bottom) adjusts the top/bottom uniformity (Top Corners) adjusts the upper left corner’s uniformity adjusts the upper right corner’s uniformity adjusts the lower left corner’s uniformity adjusts the lower right corner’s uniformity (Bottom corners) • There is the “Reset” icon in the “Uniformity” menu which resets only the uniformity function to the factory default.
Convergence Displayed characters and images may appear fuzzy or have tinges of red, green, or blue if the electron beams do not converge correctly. These can be adjusted by the convergence adjustment feature in the ScreenManager. What is convergence? Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color. In order to properly adjust convergence, it is best to have an image that makes it easy to see any convergence error.
2-3 Color Adjustment - Color Menu - E Outline EIZO monitors have incorporated two color adjustment modes, standard and custom. The “Standard” mode allows the adjustment of the color spectrum. The “Custom” mode allows extensive controls over the colors of the displayed image on the screen. Please find the details of the color mode adjustment capabilities below: Content Application Standard mode Sets color temperature. Temperature can be set from 4,000K to 10,000K, in 500K increments.
Adjusting the Standard Mode Color Temprature • Users should allow at least 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize before setting the color adjustments or color matching. Procedure 1) Go to the “Color” menu. 2) Select the “Standard mode” setting from the “Color mode” menu. 3) Select the “Temperature” icon. A color temperature bar will appear. 4) Adjust the temperature by using the right or left Arrow keys. 5) Press the ENTER key to save the data.
Adjusting the Custom Mode E Cutoff and Gain adjustments Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color information. They use an additive method to combine different amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by adding no color.
4) Adjust the Cutoff Cutoff The Cutoff adjustment is the most powerful adjustment. It alters the starting point (the black level) and the ending point (the white level). If the Cutoff level for color is raised or lowered, black, white, and all levels between are raised or lowered by the same degree. Before adjusting the Cutoff, it is best to display a screen with a black background (such as the DOS command screen). a) Select “Cutoff” icon. The screen shown on the left will appear.
• The values shown in percentages (%) for both the Cutoff and Gain adjustments represent the current level within the specific adjustment only. They are available only as a reference tool. (To create a uniform white or black screen, the percentages for each will probably not be the same.) • These diagram explains how the color curves were changed for the best adjustment in steps 4 and 5. 1 Adjust the black level so that the low end of the curve for each color (R,G,B) is equal as see 2 .
2-4 Power-save Setup - PowerManager menu - What is PowerManager? The PowerManager feature automatically reduces the monitor’s power consumption during idle periods, in accordance with the PCs ScreenSaver software. There are two PowerSaving modes in the EIZO PowerManager: Mode 1 and Mode 2. Even if the monitor is in a power saving mode, it will return to a normal display immediately when the mouse or keyboard is operated. The EIZO PowerManager functions comply with EIZO MPMS and VESA DPMS standard.
Set-up Procedure Set the monitor’s power-save environment to match the PC’s ScreenSaver software. • For the PC setup, please refer to the user’s manuals for the PC and graphics board. There are two power-save settings for the monitor. “VESA DPMS” system works with the VESA DPMS signal. “EIZO MPMS” system works with a screen saver software and Energy Saver for Macintosh which blanks the screen (totally black screen). Set the monitor to match the PC’s power saving software, as follows.
VESA DPMS System 1) First, make the appropriate settings for the PC. (See note, page 30.) 2) Then select “VESA DPMS”. 3) Set the delay period, which is the interval that the monitor will wait after receiving a power saving signal from the PC, before entering into Mode 1 or Mode 2. VESA DPMS power saving method VESA DPMS utilizes four signals: ON, STANDBY, SUSPEND, and OFF. The monitor detects these signals from the graphics board and executes power saving accordingly, as illustrated below.
EIZO MPMS System E 1) First make the appropriate ScreenSaver settings (Macintosh/Energy Saver) for the PC. 2) Then select “EIZO MPMS”. 3) Set the delay time, which is the interval between the time that the ScreenSaver (Macintosh/EnergySaver) blanks the screen and the time that the monitor enters Mode 1. 4) Set the Mode 1 duration time which is the user definable time (0-60 minutes) before the monitor enters Mode 2.
What is VESA DPMS? The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards Association,” and DPMS stands for “Display Power Management Signaling.” DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and graphics boards use to implement power savings at the monitor side. What is EIZO MPMS? EIZO MPMS, "EIZO Monitor PowerManager Signaling", also enables to execute power saving at the monitor side.
2-5 Other Settings - Others Menu - E All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager “Others” menu are described below. Degaussing The monitor automatically degausses every time the power is turned ON and every time it is reactivated from the PowerManager power saving Mode 2. A degaussing function is provided in the ScreenManager for use at other times. Note that the image vibrates slightly while degaussing is in progress, but will return to normal when degaussing is completed.
Priority setting D-Sub Performance If signals from both inputs are present, the monitor gives preference to D-Sub for the cases shown below: • When the power of the monitor is turned ON (see note 1). • When the signal input to D-Sub is changed even if active input was BNC. BNC If signals from both inputs are present, the monitor gives preference to BNC for the cases shown below: • When the power of the monitor is turned ON (see note 1).
Menu Position, Menu Contrast E Use these functions to adjust the position, contrast and brightness of the ScreenManager menu. When adjusting color, it is useful to adjust the contrast and brightness of the ScreenManager menu according to the background. Signal Filter 1 This monitor provides signal filter adjustments according to the characteristics of each graphics board for displaying the image properly.
Off Timer The Off Timer function allows the user to set the time in which the monitor will be in operation, called the “On Period” and automatically shifts the operation into the “Off Timer Mode” when the set “On Period” expires. The energy consumption of the monitor in the “Off Timer Mode” is as low as the one of the monitor in “PowerManger Mode 2” although no setting PC to operate the Off Timer function is required.
To Delay Entering the “Off Timer Mode” To delay entering the “Off Timer Mode”, press any keys on the front panel located to the left of the power switch during the “Advance notice Mode”. The monitor will continue to operate for an additional 90 minutes. There will be another advance notice for 15 minutes as described. Delayed entrance into the “Off Timer Mode” can be extended as many times as desired.
3 GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR MONITOR 3-1 i·Sound™ Sound Unit The i·Sound is a separately sold speaker system which connects directly to the monitor and can be used to support multimedia applications. The unit includes a microphone function and a headphone jack. For further details, please consult an authorized EIZO dealer near you. 3-2 Making use of USB (Universal Serial Bus) - For USB compliant system environmentsThis monitor provides a hub which supports the USB standard.
(For Windows 98) 1) Connect the upstream port of the monitor to the downstream port of the USB compliant PC or another hub using the EIZO USB cable (MD-C93). • When connecting the USB cable, check that the shape of the connector at the USB cable side matches the shape at the connecting side. Upstream connector Upstream Port: Connect the USB compliant PC or another hub using the EIZO USB cable (MD-C93). 2) “EIZO USB Hub” appears on the screen.
Connect the USB compliant peripherals to the downstream ports of the monitor: (Connection examples) EIZO USB Cable (MD-C93) Scanner Printer Monitor Digital Camera PC Mouse Keyboard Front port (Example) Rear port (Example) Downstream ports: Connect the cables from USB compliant peripherals such as a mouse, keyboard, etc. Downstream connector USB Specifications 42 3 USB standard Rev. 1.0 complied self-powered hub USB Monitor Control Class Standard Rev. 1.
Troubleshooting Problems Points to check with possible solutions 1) USB function cannot be setup. Check that the USB cable is correctly connected. Check that the PC and OS is compliant to the USB. (For the USB support of the system, consult the manufacturer of each system.) Check the PC’s BIOS setting for the USB. (For details, refer to the manual of the PC.) 2) • PC hangs. Check that the USB cable is correctly connected. Cneect the peripherals to other downstream ports.
4 TROUBLESHOOTING 4-1 Troubleshooting This page presents problems that can be corrected by the user. If a problem persists even after applying the suggested remedies, contact an EIZO dealer. n Problems caused by incorrectly setting of the termination switch Problems 1) Misconvergence of colors. 2) Focus is dull. 3) PowerManager does not work properly in VESA setting. 4) Slight shadow appears on the edges of the screen image or text. (Only for the BNC connections.
Problems 7) “Out of range” error message appears. (Example) Points to check with possible solutions Use the graphics board’s utility software to change the frequency setting. (Refer to the manual of the graphics board.) • Whenever an error signal message appears, the signal frequency will be displayed in red. • Error messages will remain on the screen for 30 seconds, and then disappear. An error message may not appear at all if the signal frequency is extremely high or extremely low.
Problems Points to check with possible solutions 3) The screen is tilted/distorted. Adjust with the ScreenManager’s tilt and distortion correcting function until tilt/distortion seems unnoticeable. See page 21. Check to see if there are any nearby interfering electronic devices such as another monitor, an electric motor, or a speaker (other than an optional EIZO i·Sound speaker unit). If so, move the device or move the monitor.
Problems 5) The image has a background shadow. E Points to check with possible solutions Try adjusting the convergence in the ScreenManager’s Screen menu. See page 24. This problem can occur when using BNC connection and the termination switch is set incorrectly. The termination switch should be set to 75 Ω for a connection to a single monitor. See page 11. 6) The characters and images have a slight shadow on their right side.
Non-Interlaced / Interlaced In a “non-interlaced” scan, the electric guns draw the entire image in one vertical pass, with each pass covering every horizontal line. In a “interlaced” scan, the guns draw the entire image by scanning vertically twice. At the first scanning, the guns draw every other horizontal line. At the second, they draw the other lines. Thus, in a “interlaced scan”, the image flickers more visibly when compared with a “non-interlaced” scan.
n Others Problems 1) The monitor beeps or hums. E Points to check with possible solutions The monitor emits a humming noise when executing automatic degaussing at power-ON. This is not a problem. The monitor beeps at any time. This is not a problem. See page 36 for full details. 2)• Control Pad “ENTER key” does not operate. • AUTO-SIZING button does not operate. 3) AUTO-SIZING button does not work properly. The Adjustment Lock is probably on.
Changing the resolution If you are using a Macintosh, you can change the resolution from the APPLE menu by selecting “Option” from “Monitor” or “Sound & Display.” If you are using a PC other than a Macintosh, refer to the manual for your PC or graphics board for information. Please refer to both the graphics board and monitor manuals for the scanning frequency compatibility. Problems 5) Two horizontal hairlines are visible on the screen. Points to check with possible solutions These are dampening wires.
5 CLEANING E WARNING • Keep liquids away from the monitor. Spillage into the cabinet may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment damage. If an object or liquid falls/spills into the cabinet, unplug the monitor immediately. Have the unit checked by a qualified service engineer before using it again.
