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 80.)
•
Ensure that the appropriate ink ribbon/paper set is being used and that they are correctly loaded. (See pages 14, 17 and 129.)
•
Select the input signal to be used to make a printout. (See page 19.)
•
Set the printer to capture one full-size image into memory. (See page 41.)
•
Select the appropriate memory page. (See page 43.)
•
Confirm the printout color quality (using, for example, the LOAD COLOR number) (See page 93.)
1

Press the CAPTURE button at the instant when 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 function of the printer. (See page 47.) 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 by pressing the MEMORY FRM/FLD button. (See “Selecting the memory mode
” on page 38.)
Notes
•
Usually, it is recommended that you make printouts in FRAME mode. To confirm the memory mode setting, press the MEMORY FRM/FLD button. The currently selected memory mode appears lit in green on the video monitor and spelled out in the printer window display for about three seconds, then disappears.
•
You can change the memory mode only when selecting 1 (full-size image), 2 (two-reduced images) or 4 (four-reduced images).
•
The number of usable memory pages depends on the selected memory mode. (See page 43.)
To change the image captured in memory
1
To display the source image when the memory image is displayed on the screen, press the SOURCE/MEMORY button .
