Repeat Steps 1 through 6 until no further correction is required. Setup of the Over slope is complete.
Compensation Procedure for NORITSU 901, 1001, 1201, and 1202 Printers
Follow this procedure to test KODAK EKTACOLOR Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Papers when converting from KODAK EKTACOLOR Edge 7/ROYAL VII Papers, and to set up your printer for the new paper.
Testing the New Paper
If the printer uses only one type of paper, follow Method 1. If it uses more than one type, follow Method 2.
Method 1:
1.When your supply of EKTACOLOR Edge 7/ ROYAL VII Paper is about to run out, print the Printer Setup Negative “Normal,” “Under,” and “Over” on the channel most commonly used for the paper. Label the three prints
2.When you are ready to convert to the new paper, load it into the printer and perform a Morning Setup procedure.
3.Print the Printer Setup Negative, “Under,” “Normal,” and “Over” on the channel that will be most commonly used for the new paper. If the test prints match the reference prints, the paper change is complete. If the test prints do not match the reference prints, proceed to “Setting the Paper Slope.”
Method 2:
1.When your supply of EKTACOLOR Edge 7/ ROYAL VII Paper is about to run out, print the Printer Setup Negative “Normal,” “Under,” and “Over” on the channel most commonly used for the paper. Label the three prints
2.When you are ready to convert to the new paper, load it into the printer. Make a print from the “Normal” Printer Setup Negative on the new paper. Make sure to use the same channel as in Step 1. Label the print
3.Measure the Normal reference print and the print labeled

5. Identify the channels that are using the old paper, and record them; these channels will all require the same correction.
Note: If the Master Balance or Morning Setup channel will use the new paper, you must include CH 00 in the Channel Balance Shift. For example, if the new paper is used in channels 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, and the Master Balance or Morning Setup channel, you would enter the following:
(N) | Y/N | |
|
|
|
This Channel Balance correction will be made to channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, and 07.
6. Input the correction into the Channel Balance Shift as follows:
a. While pressing MODE, press SETUP, and then press NO until CH BALANCE SHIFT Y/N appears.
b. Press
c. To input the sample correction above for channels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, enter the following:

Press the arrow keys to move the cursor.
Press the YES key. The Channel Balance correction will be made to channels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.
Repeat Steps 2 through 6 until the Normal test print matches the Normal reference print. When the Normal test print matches the Normal reference print, you can proceed to “Setting the Paper Slope.”
Setting the Paper Slope
After matching the Normal test and Normal reference prints, make test prints from the “Under” and “Over” Printer Setup Negatives. Make sure to use the same channel you used to make the reference prints. If the Under and Over test prints match the reference prints, the paper change is complete.
