PRIPORT CONTROLLER OPERATION
1. Power-On/Power-Off Sequence:
Please follow the steps listed below to turn on and off your system:
A. Power-On: 1. Priport
2. Controller
3. Computer
B. Power-Off: 1. Computer
2. Controller
3. Priport
2. Controller - Front Panel Indicator Lights:
A. Power-On Light (left hand light): When light is on, power is on.
B. Ready Light (right hand light)
3. Ready Light:
A. The Controller is ready for operation after the following sequence occurs:
- At power on, the ready light remains off for a short time.
- When ready light turns on, the Controller is ready for use.
B. Ready Light--Slow Flash:
- When a slow flash occurs, the Controller is processing the document.
C. Ready Light--Quick Flash:
- When a quick flash occurs, the Controller has encountered an error condition in processing the
document. (See the Troubleshooting section for possible error conditions and solutions.)
D. Ready Light--One Long + Two Short Flashes:
- When one long and two short flashes occur, either the Priport is off-line or the Priport is still waiting
to print copies off a new master, which is currently on the drum.
4. Copy Setting, Page Size Selection and Image Overlay Functions:
How to Implement and Use Copy Setting: Models VT1800, VT2200, VT2250, VT2400, VT2600, VT3600,
and VT3800
A. Verify that the dip switches at DPS101 on the Video Interface board inside the Priport have been set to
OFF.
B. The Controller will automatically turn Auto-Cycle on. If Auto-Cycle is on, the requested number of
copies entered from the computer will be displayed on the Priport control panel and will print without any
further intervention. However, if the copy count is set to 1, the Controller will change the copy count to 3
when the print job is sent to the Priport. This feature was designed to prevent interlocked masters.
C. When the Priport is On Line, all of the Priport manual control buttons are disabled EXCEPT Auto Cycle,
Speed, Image Position and Stop. To regain access to all other control buttons, you must take the Priport
off line.
D. If you use a Windows program which has a collate copies check box as an option on the Print Window,
you should turn that feature OFF. When this feature is turned on, the program will send the print job to
the Controller again and again to produce the desired number of copies rather than allowing the Priport to
execute the desired number of copies.
