centuria1600 Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 I have a Noritsu 3203pro. Since one week I have the problem that the pictures can not be opened correctly on the monitor. When I then press print, the photos come out exactly from the printer as they are displayed on the monitor.... I have checked Arcnet for function. no error messages. sometimes I get the error message "Main control system error" when I switch on the machine. I push it away and the machine works. It has been like this for 3 years. Does anyone have an idea what else I can check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave S Posted October 11 Report Share Posted October 11 Enter the service mode, go to, Menu → Extension → Maintenance → Self-diagnostic Run the Image path check, post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave S Posted October 12 Report Share Posted October 12 It looks like there could be an issue with the image correction PCB or image processing PCB. Try removing the image correction PCB and removing and refitting both RAM modules. It is possible that the RAM itself is faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak_service Posted October 13 Report Share Posted October 13 It is very likely that the problem is in the LVDS cable between the computer (/JuP151) and Image Processing PCB (J/P456). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted October 13 Author Report Share Posted October 13 @Dave S Thank you for the tip. I'll try it tomorrow. If the RAM is defective, you can replace it, or you have to replace the entire PCB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted October 13 Author Report Share Posted October 13 @kodak_service I've already tried that, but it didn't help.Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is the same RAM that is used in old Laptop computers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtonator Posted October 14 Report Share Posted October 14 Already seen a similar problem. This came from PCI LVDS/ARCNET PCB J390865-01. I think Kodak Service is right. This can also come from the LVDS cable between the scanner table and the printer, but also from the PCB. If you have the "CAU" (compact archive unit) option you must have two identical cards in the PC with a deep switch to indicate the role of each. I believe that the cards on the diagnostic which are indicated in NO GOOD, are only used with film scanners (without the digital masking kit there are these kinds of errors with a scanner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the cards on the diagnostic which are indicated in NO GOOD, are only used with film scanners (without the digital masking kit there are these kinds of errors with a scanner) If there was a problem with the LVDS cable or LVDS PCI card it would not print the test image properly (as you can see above it printed it perfectly) The test image comes from the PC via the PCI card and LVDS cable into the Image processing PCB, but it is not processed by the image correction PCB. Your assumption that the image correction board is only used with a film scanner is incorrect, you are thinking of the Digital ICE PCB. The machine is intelligent enough to not test circuit boards it does not have fitted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted October 14 Author Report Share Posted October 14 (edited) The Minilab had a film scanner before I bought it. I have two identical cards on my PC. An LVDS cable is connected to one of them, while the 2th card only has 2 small cables with an end cap. I have CAU.

If there is not an LVDS cable going to the 2nd card, the compact archive will not be in use (The CAU was for saving the negative scans) You have nothing to loose in swapping the LVDS and ARCNET cables to the 2nd LVDS card and setting the DIP switch on the second card to both off, this will set it to a No.1 LVDS card. Ideally you should only use one LVDS card in the PC, due to their being no LVDS cable being connected to the 2nd card on your machine. (normally both LVDS cards have an LVDS cable going to each of them, the 2nd card does not have any ARCNET cables connected) Edited October 14 by Dave S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted October 15 Author Report Share Posted October 15 @Dave S Hi Dave Can i remove the card which has no ARCNET cable connection? ( the lower one )? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is safe to remove it. The lower card which has no ARCNET connection is just for the compact Archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted October 16 Author Report Share Posted October 16 @Dave S Hello Dave. Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately I haven't been able to solve my problem yet. I'm looking for the RAMM's for the board. I still have 2 dongles left from the old 3203. Can I still sell them or does no one need them anymore? how much are they worth?

Minilab service Posted October 16 Report Share Posted October 16 (edited) Booster A - only for QSS3202 and QSS3302 ( not SD models with scanner ) . This booster can make QSS3201 and QSS3301 printers faster. Booster B can use only on QSS3203 ( SD and standard ) and QSS3213 . Usually if someone has these minilabs they have booster. Instead of LPT boosters can be used virtual boosters. Boosters not enough. Also need to install capacity booster software ( A type, or B type ) .

Minilab service Posted October 17 Report Share Posted October 17 (edited) Yes, if you have other racks, or use fast process chemicals the you can convert QSS3201, or QSS3202 into QSS3203. Edited October 17 by Minilab service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted November 4 Author Report Share Posted November 4 (edited) Thank you very much for your help. I have now found the error for my problem. A RAMM on the PC's mainboard (NRT-RS6) was defective. I used the Memtest 86 (https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm) older version to test the RAMMS. There were 4 pieces with 512MB installed. I installed 2 with 1GB because I wanted to change them in pairs. Now I have installed 2 pieces of 512MB and 2 pieces of 1GB = total 3GB. Now I have no problem with the image display on the screen.

I would never have thought the RAM in the PC could cause such a problem. It is strange that it didn't affect Windows and cause the PC to crash. Thanks for letting us know what the cause and solution was, it is very helpful in case we see a problem like this in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centuria1600 Posted November 4 Author Report Share Posted November 4 I always find it a shame when people ask for help. If they find a solution they don't want to post it. This is the only way mutual help can work. Qss2Fuji 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
