Croma24 Service Manual
To enter the BIT mode, apply power to the printer while simulta-
neously depressing the ‘soft on’ button. Continue to hold onto the
‘soft on’ button until the carrier assembly has traveled halfway
across the length of the platen. Release the ‘soft on’ button.
The printer will go through its normal start-up routine. Once the
start-up routine is completed, it will perform and print out a series of
tests. First thing it will do is prime the cartridges.
The prime is followed by a serial port test (GA or GA & CAD ver-
sions). The loopback cable is required to pass this test.
Then it will print a fast deadband display and a color calibration
display.
It will then test the parallel port test. The loopback cable is required
to pass this test.
After completing the parallel port test, the BIT test begins again
with a prime. It will continue to perform the BIT test until the BIT
mode is exited. To exit the BIT mode, turn the printer off and on
again in the normal power-up mode.
The deadband and color calibration displays are for visual inspection
of the condition of the printer only, no adjustments can be performed
while in the BIT mode.
Firmware/Software Upgrades
The Croma24 Control Panel, Printer Driver, and embedded firmware
are all upgraded onto the computer at the same time by installing
the latest Croma24 software bundle. The latest version can be found
on ENCAD’s bbs or website, the phone numbers are located in
Chapter One.
The installation procedure will upgrade the Control Panel and the
Printer Driver simultaneously. Verify that the upgrade was success-
ful by checking in the “about” panel in both the Control Panel and
the Driver for version specs.
