This procedure describes how to use the Geometric Correction (GC) tool in Service Shell 3.6 (and later) to align two Kodak Quantum MCE or GMCE platesetters or two different pin sets on a dual plate-loading device.
Go to Geometric Correction: Aligning Devices in the Field Using GC Tool on the Trendsetter 400/800 Procedures page.

Go to the Debris Removal Reference page.

All output devices that use PDB 10-4112 are at risk, especially Magnus VLF with TH3 and APL. The safety relays can malfunction and weld together. If this occurs, then the head is still energized, and if the safety interlocked access panels are open, and you use the direct diagnostic prompt from Service Shell, you can create a potentially hazardous situation.

Go to Safety Relays on PDB Fail to Open, or the Safety page.

The GMCE board has been updated to version F to accomodate the KIL UDRCs. Version E boards can still be used on all CCA output devices until stocks are depleted.

The laser safety course Laser Safety: Mastering Light is now available for all Kodak employees.

Go to the Laser Safety page.

Go to Jitter artifact on lenticular applications, also available from the Artifact gallery (artifact 0020).

Go to Irregular artifact lines in the mainscan direction, also available from the Troubleshooting page.

Customer dongles are black with blue marking and serial numbers start with C. Service dongles are black with teal marking and serial numbers start with S. Part numbers for both dongles have not changed. Dongle photos show all versions of the dongles.

Go to Lenticular printing on the VMR Info page.

Go to the VMR Info page.

When you replace a GMCE board, the new board may not have the same core firmware (boot code and Xilinx) loaded as the old board. To update the code, rerun the core firmware installer after replacing the board.
Go to the GMCE Info page for details.

MPE boards that are eight years old or more may have corrupt NVS data due to battery failure. See MPE board NVS data is corrupt (2200: NVS: low battery in NVS detected) on the Troubleshooting page for details.

This troubleshooting item has been updated with instructions for installing driver version 7.3.2. Version 5.41 and 5.42 can cause applications such as Prinergy, Prinergy Evo, and Print Console, which use the Sentinel driver to communicate with the dongle, to consume large amounts of CPU time and the server locks up. For details and the solution to this problem, see Sentinel driver conflict with dongle causes Dell servers to lock up.

The VMR Technical Bulletin on the VMR Info page has been updated to include direct workflow procedures using Kodak Prinergy, Prinergy Evo, and Brisque software in addition to methods using 1-bit TIFF Downloader.

All devices running Service Shell must upgrade to support Creo Feature Licensing (CFL) before 15 Apr 2007 because passwords will no longer be used. Information on CFL is available on the CFL site.

In some systems, a newly-installed dongle will use Sentinel driver version 5.41 instead of version 5.42, which is the version configured in the baseline image. This causes applications such as Prinergy, Prinergy Evo, and Print Console, which use the Sentinel driver to communicate with the dongle, to consume large amounts of CPU time and the server locks up. For details and the solution to this problem, see Sentinel driver conflict with dongle causes Dell PE830, 840, 2900, 2950 servers to lock up.
