2 IMAGING ADJUSTMENT - Screen menu - E All of the icons shown in the ScreenManager 'Screen' menu are described below. • Allow the monitor to stabilize for at least 30 minutes before making image adjustments. Brightness, Contrast, Size, Position These functions are used to adjust the brightness, contrast, size and position of the screen. For more information about how to adjust each of them, please refer to the 'Quick Setup Guide', page 8.
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.
Moiré can be reduced in a variety of ways. E 1) Adjust with the ScreenManager’s moiré reduction function. Adjust so that moiré becomes almost unnoticeable. Before adjusting, set the desktop to an every-other-dot pattern (see picture, page 10) so that moiré will be visible. Following the adjustment, change to a different desktop background to reduce moiré even further. 2) Change the horizontal and vertical dimensions.
3 COLOR ADJUSTMENT - Color menu - Outline EIZO monitors have incorporated two color adjustment mode, 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. All adjustments for either mode can be made quickly and easily through the ScreenManager 'Color' Menu - offering a tool to create customized color environment.
Adjusting the Standard mode E 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 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.
a) Select the 'Temperature' icon from the sub menu. b) Select the temperature as desired by moving the arrow keys in any direction. 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.
• These diagram explains how the color curves were changed for the best adjustment in steps 4 and 5. Adjust the black level so that the low end of the curve for each color (R,G,B) is equal as see picture 2. Adjust the white level so that the high end of the curve for each color (R,G,B) is equal as see picture 3. This setup gives the best color balance.
4 POWER-SAVE SETUP - PowerManager menu - E 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.
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. ‘NUTEK’s 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 E 1) First, make the appropriate settings for the PC. (See note, page 18.) 2) Then select 'VESA DPMS'. 3) Set the delay period, which is the interval that the monitor will wait after receiving a power-save 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.
NUTEK System 1) First make the appropriate ScreenSaver settings (Macintosh/Energy Saver) for the PC. 2) Then select 'NUTEK'. 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? E 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 NUTEK? NUTEK is the acronym for the Swedish National Board for Industrial and Technical Development, an organization that works to promote power-saving technologies.
5 OTHER SETTINGS - Others, Information and Language menus - 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.
Input Priority This unique feature of the ScreenManager is for those users who utilize two PCs. It allows the user to set the priority on the PC of choice. The monitor automatically detects the selected 'Input Priority' setting every time the power is turned ON (see note). Once the priority is set, whenever a signal is detected at that connection, the monitor will convert to that signal and display the data being sent. There are three settings available: D-Sub, BNC or Manual.
Beep Use this feature to set the beeper ON or OFF. If the beeper is ON, the monitor will generate beep signals as shown below. If the beeper is OFF, the monitor will not beep. Short beep • ScreenManager item selected. • ScreenManager parameter adjusted to minimum or maximum limit. • BNC/D-Sub selection button pressed. Long beep • AUTO-SIZING button pressed. • ScreenManager data-save executed. Four short beeps • Monitor not connected correctly. • PC turned off.
Information status report E Use this feature to review the current ScreenManager settings. The menu contains four pages. Pressing the ENTER key selects the different pages in order. The information displayed on each page is as follows.
6 GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR MONITOR Adjustment Lock The ScreenManager operation can be disabled by holding down the AUTO-SIZING button while switching on the monitor’s power. This will disable (“lock”) the ScreenManager and AUTO-SIZING button, protecting from accidental changes. To unlock the buttons: switch the power off, then hold down AUTO-SIZING button once again and turn the power back on.
Selecting the active input E • The front panel’s BNC/D-Sub selection button can be used to select BNC or D-Sub as the active input. • The ScreenManager’s “Input Priority” setting (in the 'Others' menu) can be used to set up the automatic selection of the input . See page 23 for details. Linking monitors in a chain Three to four monitors can be chained together so that they can be controlled from a single source. All monitors will display the same image.
Chaining procedure 1) Attach BNC coaxial “Y” connectors to each of the BNC inputs (H, V, G, R and B) on the first monitor in the chain (call this Monitor A). Then connect the monitor to the PC, using a signal cable equipped with BNC connectors at the monitor side. 2) Attach BNC coaxial “Y” connectors to the next monitor (monitor B). Connect monitors A and B, this time using a signal cable with BNC connectors at both sides.
Optional i·Sound™ speaker system The optional speaker system i·Sound connects directly to the monitor and can be used to support multimedia applications. The speaker also has a microphone function. For details, consult EIZO dealers.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING 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. Problems Points to check with possible solutions Problems caused by incorrectly setting of the termination switch. 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.
4) “No signal detected” error message appears. • Check that the PC is switched ON. • Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the graphics board or PC. • Check that the graphics board is correctly inserted in the PC. • Switch the signal input by pushing the BNC/ D-Sub selection button on the front control panel. 5) “Out of range” error message appears. (Example) • Use the graphics board’s utility software to change the frequency setting. (Refer to the manual of the graphics board.
• The signal cable might be damaged. Please contact the dealer. • The monitor may be located close to a device that is generating a magnetic field. Such devices include speakers (other than the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker), electric motors, high-voltage cables, and other monitors. It may be solved by switching off or moving the interfering device, or by relocating the monitor. • If the volume level of the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker is too high, it may, in some cases, cause a slight vibration.
Non-Interlaced / Interlaced E 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.
Color problems 1) The entire screen appears bluish or reddish. • The CRT is not warmed up. Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to stabilize. 2) Color purity is not uniform. • Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to warm up. • Degauss the screen. (Use the degaussing feature in the ScreenManager’s 'Others' menu. See page 22.) 3) Misconvergence of colors. (red, green, blue) • Allow 30 minutes for the monitor to warm up. • Adjust the convergence using the Convergence feature in the ScreenManager’s Screen menu.
2) Control Pad “ENTER key” does not operate. • The Adjustment Lock is probably on. To unlock: switch off the monitor power, then hold down the AUTO-SIZING button and switch the monitor back on. See page 26. 3) AUTO-SIZING button does not operate. • The Adjustment Lock is probably on. To unlock: switch off the monitor power, then hold down the AUTO-SIZING button and switch the monitor back on. See page 26. 4) AUTO-SIZING button does not work properly.
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. 6) Two horizontal hairlines are visible on the screen. • These are dampening wires.
8 CLEANING WARNING E • 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. Using the monitor in this condition could cause serious injury or equipment damage. CAUTION • To ensure safety, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.

Environmental requirements Flame retardants Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs.
