Running a Test Pattern A test pattern can be run without exposing an image on film. Open
Without Film the back of the Pentax Camera and observe the filter wheel. It
(No Exposure) should rotate to position each colored filter in front of the Pentax
Camera for exposure. (Refer to Figure 5-1.)
• Press the FUNCTION Switch on the Display Panel, holding it down
until the function number desired, either 6 or 7, appears in the
Current Exposure Display. (The CRT will display test pattern A when
Function 6 is selected, test pattern B when Function 7 is selected.)
• Press the SELECT Switch. This executes the chosen function. The
process takes approximately 3 to 4 minutes for 2k patterns, and up
to 15 minutes for 4k patterns depending on the SlideWriter setting
(2k is the default test pattern mode unless the host sends a prior
resolution setting command).
If the pattern finishes without the ERROR or FAULT lights turning on,
the SlideWriter is working properly.
WARNING Do not press the FUNCTION and SELECT Switches simultaneously.
This causes the SlideWriter to activate a diagnostics routine At this
time "dr" will appear in the Current Exposure Display. Press the
RESET Switch to return the SlideWriter to normal operation.
Diagnostic routines are to be performed only by trained, qualified
service personnel. Initiating a diagnostics routine risks potential
damage to the SlideWriter and voids warranties made by Matrix.
*
NOTE: If an ERROR or FAULT light remains on, check the error code in the
Current Exposure Display and refer to page 34 to identify the
problem. Then reset the SlideWriter and try the test image again. If
this problem persists, contact your authorized Matrix service
representative.
