photopeter Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hello people, can anyone help me please? I have recently set up a second hand Noritsu 3011 in my mini-lab to find out that it has no data stored in its memory what so ever. So i have started the machine from scratch. I have had a Noritsu engineer out to align the lasers, alter the focus and zoom, and he tinkered with a few other settings whilst he was here. Everything works great except for when printing negatives, I get dust marks on the prints. I have installed the DIGITAL ICE disk and the Noritsu engineer came back out to check the focus as he said if this isn't spot on, the DIGITAL ICE will not work correctly. Focus is perfect he has assured me. Still getting the odd dusty mark. The machine is absolutly crystal clear clean, the neg mask is spotless. Is there anything else I can do or clean to make the dusty marks disappear?? Your help is greater appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 The only problems I have had with Digital ICE have been when the mark is made worse by the image been a few microns next to the mark, it shows as a plus density. Your engineer was correct in saying that focus has to be spot on, also it should be done with a new lamp and all clean. As the filament in the lamp gets old and sags the focus changes so an old lamp is not good for the accuracy of the ICE D ICE is good but it will not remove everything, try turning off ICE and see if it is at least getting rid of the worst. You may be surprised just how good a job its doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusther Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 did the service engeneer made the focus auto adjustment? If he made it manually searching the highest focus value the dust removal doesn't work correctly. Dust will look like Ice crystals or similar. And another thing: Never ever install a program for burning CD's like Nero or similar. It will overwrite an important DLL used by the scanner and you will get also such kind of problems.

photopeter Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks for the replies. I have tried it without the DIG ICE on and it's a lot worse, so at least it's doing something. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photocorp Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Here's a few pages from the Noritsu Engineers Training Manual which explains how the scanner and Digital Ice works (and doeesn't). As far as not installing proprietory CD burning software, like Nero. As an ex-field tech I always installed Nero on the customer's QSS so they could burn in the background. Never had any problems or HD crashes. With PC's so cheap these days you just wouldn't bother to bloat your QSS HD with any unecessary applications. I'm talking about a time when more often than not, the ony PC in a photolab was probably the one running the printer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Please check your model number and report the errors The 2901 does not have a laser, it uses an MLVA exposure system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 What software version is the main system software? Use the laser test software to tell you which laser is giving you a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
