Making Full-Size Image Printouts

This section explains how to make a full-size image printout. The operations described here constitute the basic procedure for making a printout.

Before making a full-size image printout

All connections should have already been made. (See page 10.)

Ensure that the appropriate ink ribbon/paper set is being used and that they are correctly loaded. (See pages 13, 14 and 57.)

Select the input signal to be used to make a printout. (See page 15.)

Set the printer to capture one full-size image into memory. (See page 26.)

Select the appropriate memory page. (See page 24.)

Confirm the printout color quality (using, for example, the LOAD COLOR number). (See page 45.)

Shows that an image from the source equipment is currently displayed on the screen.

3 Press the CAPTURE button at the instant the image you want to print appears on the screen.

The image is captured into memory. The memory image is displayed on the screen. Which image appears after this, the source image or the memory image, depends on the setting made with the FUNCTION SETUP facility of the printer. (See page 27.)

If the captured image is blurred

A quickly moving image may be blurred when captured. Should this occur, change the memory mode setting to FIELD, then print it again. Although the blur should be eliminated, the ultimate print quality will be slightly degraded. Select the FIELD mode on the LAYOUT SETUP menu. (See “Selecting the memory mode” on page 24.)
