Connecting the processor to the platesetter
- Turn off the Magnus 800 platesetter.
- Turn off the InterPlater 85/135 HD processor.
- Connect one end of the processor interface cable to the connector
on the processor, and connect the opposing end of the interface cable
to J14, located on the platesetter MSB.
- Turn on the Magnus 800 platesetter.
- Turn on the InterPlater 85/135 HD processor, and make a note of the
processor version, displayed on the default startup screen. There are
two versions available:
Configuring the processor to work with the platesetter
The processor screen comprises of navigation arrows and buttons.
Use the arrows and buttons to navigate through the menus and select the
appropriate processor version.
Configuring the platesetter to work with the
processor
- In the Magnus 800 Controller software Mode pane, click Tools.
- In the Tools dialog box, click the Plates Handling
tab.
- Make sure the Disable processor interface check box
is cleared.
- In the Magnus 800 Registry, verify that both processor signal detectors
are open.
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Kodak\Magnus800\Platesetter\Platesetter
base\MSB 10Objects\Detectors\Processor signal 1/2)
Interpreting processor related messages
The processor screen displays the status of the processor. The Magnus
800 Controller software receives two signals from the processor and generates
a corresponding message relating to the status of the processor signals.
This section describes how to ensure the processor status corresponds
to the messages generated by Magnus 800 Controller software.
- Locate and select the 80 SETTER READY
option.
- In the 80 SETTER READY menu, each
subsequent press on the down navigation arrow displays one of the four
processor simulation modes: Ready, Busy, Error, Off. Using the
table below as a reference, check that the Magnus 800 Controller software
generates the appropriate message for each processor simulation mode.
- After checking the simulation mode messages, change the processor
back to Ready mode.

*When
the processor displays BUSY/NOT READY, the following
message appears in the Magnus 800 Controller software:
Busy: IDS_PROCESSOR_UNLOADING_CONTINUE_UNLOAD
Verify that the processor status is ready and able to receive a plate.
Click Continue or click Unload to automatically unload the plate from
the unloading platform. If the problem persists, in the Operation
panel click Stop. To continue working, you can disable the processor
interface.
**When
the processor displays FAULT, the following message
appears in the Magnus 800 Controller software:
Error: IDS_PROCESSOR_UNLOADING_CONTINUE_REMOVE
Verify that the processor status is ready and able to receive a plate.
Click Continue or remove the plate manually from the unloading conveyor
and click Media Removed.
If the problem persists, in the Operation panel click Stop. To continue
working, you can disable the processor interface.
