Overview Product Description The SRP 30 Laser Printer provides convenient and quick printing of: • Black-and-white and color negative films • Color slides (frames) • Digital images The digital image files are transferred to the SRP 30 Laser Printer by: • Data carriers − Diskette − ZIP disk − CD-ROM or Smart Media card (by way of PCMCIA adapter) • Network (workstation) NOTE: It is your responsibility to provide for a network and/or a workstation and to provide for its connection.
Operator’s Guide Image Editing The SRP 30 Laser Printer offers a wide variety of image editing options: • Color and density corrections • Cropping • Image enhancement − area and detail contrast − sharpness − saturation • Special features − colored texts − borders These modifications are calculated on the image processing board. The image in the display refreshes immediately.
Overview Functional Procedure The SRP 30 Laser Printer performs the following functions to process print orders. • Prescans and scans the image • Cuts the paper • Transports the paper • Edits the image, if necessary • Exposes the image • Distributes the paper to the appropriate lane to the processor • Processes the image • Deposits the prints in the sorter These steps are described in the next section, Film Advance and Paper Transport.
Operator’s Guide Main Computer The main computer—by way of the image-processing card—processes the digitized image data, the prescan data, and your correction and image editing data. The computer converts the data to an exposable image and sends it to the printer. Printer The printer transports the cut paper (1) to the print engine (2), exposes the paper to the laser beam, and advances it through the transport unit (3) up to the lane distributor (4). The back print (5) is applied in the lane distributor.
Overview Paper Processor The exposed paper advances through the processing solutions (1), which include the developer, bleach-fix, and stabilizer. The paper then advances through the dryer (2). Sorter After drying, the prints exit from the print chute (1) into the sorter (2) where they are sorted by orders and stacked in trays. • If a print order exceeds the capacity of one tray (a maximum of 43 prints), the sorter automatically switches to the next tray without terminating the print order.
Operator’s Guide Densitometer The built-in densitometer (1) above the dryer automatically measures the test print.

Operator’s Guide 3-2 KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer
Chemicals Preparation of Chemicals WARNING: A risk of injury is possible if the cover of the wet section is unlocked (when PUSH is pressed unintentionally). • When opening the cover: Check that the cover lock fully engages in the vertical position. • When closing the cover: Support the cover with one hand. Press the unlocking lever (PUSH), and close the cover. A water temperature of approximately 30°C (86°F) is recommended for the preparation of the individual tank fillings.
Operator’s Guide CAUTION: To prevent contamination of the chemicals, always fill the tanks in the following order: SB Ö BX Ö CD After each preparation of a solution, thoroughly rinse the containers used for the preparation first with cold water, then with hot water. Rinsing the Tanks 1. Open the wet section cover. 2. Fill the replenisher tank with water until the lower level sensors are covered to avoid the request for the connection of an EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge. 3.
Chemicals Mixing the Tank Solutions The instructions assume that you are mixing the fresh-tank solutions directly in the processor tank. WARNING: Use cold water when you mix solutions to prevent you from unnecessary exposure to fumes that can be released at higher temperatures. Handle all chemicals carefully. When you mix solutions, wear goggles or a face shield, a protective rubber apron, and protective gloves made with either neoprene or nitrile rubber.
Operator’s Guide Stabilizer 1. Add 10.3 L of water to the first tank. 2. Add one-half the contents (approximately 72 mL) of one bottle of stabilizer concentrate (labeled SB). 3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for each of the three remaining stabilizer tanks. The total volume for each tank is 11 L. Bleach-Fix You can mix the working bleach-fix tank directly from the two-part concentrates. Use two EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge 75 units to supply the two bottles of each of the two concentrate solutions.
Chemicals Installing the Racks and Bringing the Tank Solutions to Temperature When you fill the tanks with the new mixes, they appear only partially filled. When you reinstall the racks in the tanks, the racks displace more solution volume to fill the tanks. 1. Install each rack by slowly lowering it into the tank; the rack displaces additional volume to fill the tank and partially mix the solution. 2. When you have reinstalled all the racks, verify that all tanks are filled with solution. 3.
Operator’s Guide 4. Put the EKTACOLOR Processing Cartridge in the docking station with the sticker facing up. The preparation of the replenishers starts as soon as the docking station is closed. During this procedure, the door is locked mechanically and the LED on the left side of the docking station illuminates steadily. IMPORTANT: To reduce oxidation, a cartridge should always be in the docking station. After the LED is turned off, the cartridge can be removed and replaced by a full one.

These corrections do not appear in the back print.
Settings Contrast Management: Area Contrast, Detail Contrast The regulators for the surface and detail contrast are only accessible after you enable the Contrast Management function. Shifting the Area contrast (ACT) regulator has the effect that large areas with little detail in the original get more or less contrast (light surfaces get darker, shadows get lighter; the equivalent of digital masking). • If the surface contrast is too high, the dark areas of the prints get coarse-grained.
Operator’s Guide Learning TFS Learns and Learning TFS Used TFS stands for Total Film Scanning. When you enable the Learning TFS learns and Learning TFS used functions, the system seeks to ensure a uniform production by compensating color dominants and emulsion fluctuations. During the learning phase (at least 22 different scans of the same film type), the system uses standard values. The film type-specific values resulting from the prescan are only effective afterwards.
Settings Color/Density Logic Enabling the Color/Density logic function lets you have access to the TFS Color and TFS Density buttons. NOTE: Certain parts of the logic are effective even if you have not changed the regulators. TFS Color Color Dominant Parameters The color dominant parameters (magenta, blue, green, and yellow) let you influence the effect of the color under correction.
Operator’s Guide The measuring system recognizes frames showing a color dominant because the percentage of the dominant measuring points exceeds certain thresholds (upper dominant limits). Such ranges of measuring points are not taken into consideration for the calculation of the exposure data. This ensures that frames showing a color dominant are printed without a color cast. Standard setting: Step width: Setting range: 1.0 0.1 0.0 to +4.
Settings Parameters for Tungsten and Fluorescent Light Detection The parameter TL (tungsten light) is used to define the threshold value for the artificial light detection. CTL is used to correct the colors of those frames whose colors are above the threshold value. The strong yellow-reddish color cast is neutralized and the prints take on a character resembling daylight. Artificial light shots are subjects taken in a warm light (incandescent lamp, candle light). Standard setting: Step width: 1.0 0.
Operator’s Guide K Parameter for Cross Curve Compensation The K parameter lets you control the degree of the cross curve compensation. The cross curve compensation shifts the neutral area of the subject so that the colors appear less “harsh.” The correction is found for each individual frame.
Settings Modifying the degree of the cross curve compensation: The degree of the color correction acts in proportion to the modification of the K parameter value. If, for example, the value is increased from 1.0 to 1.5, the cross curve compensation is 50% stronger. Example: A light gray house with a dark slate roof. Cross curve behavior: The colors range from magenta highlights to green shadows. The facade of the house shows a magenta color cast while the roof is reproduced in a greenish tone.
Operator’s Guide TFS Density Every parameter (Density 1 to Density 5) is assigned to a certain subject category for which you can define selective density corrections. Standard setting: Step width: Parameter 1.0 0.1 Function Setting range DL 1 Flash shots (red eyes and light subjects in front of a dark background) 0.0–2.0 DL 2 Contrast backlight, snow or beach shots, landscapes with large parts of a bright sky 0.0–2.
Settings Selector Logic and TFS Selector The TFS Selector button is accessible after you enable the Selector logic function on the Production balance screen. NOTE: Certain parts of the logic are effective even if the regulators have not been changed. The selector logic recognizes films that can be classified according to certain exposure failure categories. Standard setting: 1.0 Step width (resolution): 0.1 Parameter Selected Setting range Description Selector 1 Underexposed frames 0.0 to +4.

Operator’s Guide 5-2 KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer
Tests Introduction Before the start of production, the printer and paper processor must be carefully calibrated to produce the highest quality prints. The purpose of the printer calibration is to align the individual elements of the KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer – print engine, paper, and paper processor – with respect to each other. The result of a successful calibration is the neutral appearance of the grayscale on the last test print.
Operator’s Guide Prerequisites for MBL and PBL Calibration Before printing the MBL and PBL calibration: 1. Check that there are no print orders pending. 2. Touch the Information (i) button to check that no paper is in the paper transport of the printer and the paper processor for the MBL and the PBL calibration. 3. Check that there is enough paper in the magazine for the two tests (approximately 3 m [40 in.]). 4. Check that the chemical solutions are at nominal temperature.
Tests You can use the Settings / Machine settings / Printer menu to set up how often the automatic PBL should be repeated if the values are out of tolerance. The number of retries can be from 1 to 10. See Printer Settings in Chapter 4. PBL Test with Laser Point The laser point is used to set the exposure levels required to produce the desired D-max value of the paper being tested. NOTE: You can press [Alt] + [F1] to set the D-max for a paper. The PapersData dialog box appears. 1.
Operator’s Guide Printing an MBL Test When it is necessary to print an MBL test, follow these instructions. Touch: • Test • Start MBL An Info screen opens during the test. If the master paper is not inserted when an MBL is started, you are prompted to insert the master paper. You can use the Settings / Machine settings / Printer menu to set up how often the automatic MBL should be repeated if the values are out of tolerance. The number of retries can be from 1 to 10. See Printer Settings in Chapter 4.
Tests Procedure for the First Machine Operation or After New Software Installation 1. Use the predefined paper configurations or set up configurations as required. See Paper Configurations in Chapter 4. 2. Define the master paper. (This is the paper style most frequently used in the lab.) Touch Settings / Machine settings / Printer. IMPORTANT: Another paper might be entered as the master.
Operator’s Guide Daily Calibration with the MBL Print the MBL directly after system startup (as soon as the chemicals have reached their nominal temperatures) and repeat once or twice during the day. For an MBL, the master paper must always be inserted. If an Auto-MBL is to be printed after system startup, you must insert the master paper the night before. The MBL calibrates the master paper again and all other paper styles are adapted according to the master correction.
Tests Calibration of New Paper, Emulsion Changes, or Correction of a Paper Channel (Not Master Paper) 1. Print an MBL. This provides for a calibrated condition of the system. 2. Print the PBL right after the MBL: • With laser point for new paper other than the master paper or • Without laser point if there was an emulsion change only Calibration of New Paper, Emulsion Changes (Master Paper) 1. Print the MBL on the previous (old) emulsion. This provides for a calibrated condition of the system. 2.
Operator’s Guide Scanner Calibration PIKO The scanner pixel correction (PIKO) process: • Calibrates the light path of the lamp up to the CCD • Balances the pixel sensitivity of the CCD for each pixel • Defines the illumination strength (if the lamp is replaced, for example – this influences the lamp, filter, mirror box, and film mask) • Defines the crop to be used for the film mask (illumination on the CCD chip) The system automatically performs a PIKO: • During system startup (because any film mask could
Tests To start PIKO manually: 1. Check that the film mask is inserted and empty. 2. Touch: • Test • Start PIKO If the system automatically initiates PIKO during production, check the condition of the print lamp.
Operator’s Guide Testing the Paper Processor To maintain or restore optimum processing quality, the chemicals of the paper processor should be checked every day by means of the pre-exposed control strips. Prerequisites: • The following working temperatures must have been reached: − DEV 40 °C − BX 38 °C − STB 37 °C − Dryer 65 °C • There is no order in process. • Use KODAK PROFESSIONAL Pro Strips for Process RA-4 (Catalog No. 129 8587). 1.

Adjust the paper magazine to the width of the paper in use so that the paper can be transported correctly. Do these steps to make this adjustment: 1. Release the latches, open the empty magazine, and remove the winding core. 2.
Operator’s Guide 3. Insert the four fingers of the paper guides into the notches that correspond to the paper width. (The notches are labeled in millimeters). Check that all four fingers are seated in the correct notch. NOTE: The shape of the notches makes it easier to align the fingers with the correct position. 4. Loosen the screws of the magazine exit guides. 5. Set the magazine exit guides to the width of the paper. Align the guides with the line indicators (labeled in millimeters).
Production 6. Adjust the guides in the other section of the magazine in the same way. NOTE: If several paper types are used, we recommend preparing several magazines for each paper width. Installing Paper IMPORTANT: Photographic paper must always be stored in a cool and dry place. The best storage temperature is between 2°C and 10°C (36°F and 50°F). 1. Take the paper out of the cool storage at least 24 hours before use to let any condensation on the paper dry. 2.

Operator’s Guide Changing the Mirror Box for 120 Films You must mount a different mirror box before you can scan 120 films. 1. Hold the mirror box (1) on the sides with both hands and pull it out towards you. 2. Place the new mirror box in the guide rails and push it in towards the lamp house until it locks in. Changing the Film Mask CAUTION: In the Autoprint mode, do not remove the film mask until the film strip has been completely scanned and ejected into the film box below the scanner.
Production APS Film APS Film Handling CAUTION: When handling APS film: Do not fold the film because the system will not be able to read the magnetic code. Do not expose the film to strong magnetic fields because they can erase the magnetic code. Do not splice the film in the area of the magnetic tracks because the tracks can come off when the splice is removed. APS Film Cartridge The APS film cartridge is smaller than the 35 mm cartridge.
Operator’s Guide Order Handling Typical Order Tracking Orders are tracked with the use of Twin Check labels that contain the order number. Matching labels are placed on the envelope and on the film. The order number may also be printed on the back of the prints along with other information so that the allocation of the prints to the corresponding film order is simplified. Price labels can be printed with the optional Pricing and Label printer accessory.
Production Inserting Film into the Film Feeder Push the film strip between the film feeder guides with the emulsion side turned down. The film feeder detects the film and pulls it in automatically. (The width of the film feeder guides depends on the film mask installed. The film feeder adjusts the width automatically.
Operator’s Guide Order Number (Automatic or Manual) You can assign order numbers either automatically or manually, depending on the status of the Order No. parameter in Settings / Machine settings / Other. (See Chapter 4.) Manual Order Numbering The first order always starts with 1. (Order numbers are reset to 1 after a system reset or shutdown.) The order number appears on every print screen. You can change the order number: • If the Change order no.
Production Automatic Order Numbering The first order always starts with 1. (Order numbers are reset to 1 after a system reset or shutdown.) The entered number is automatically incremented for each order that follows. The number cannot be changed. End of Order (Automatic or Manual) Orders are terminated by End of order. The sorter moves so that the prints of the orders can be put in different bins. A new order begins when a frame or slide is scanned or a digital image file is loaded after end of order.
