Using the System
Powering Up the System
Set the black power switch on the back of the
system to the ON (I) position. Once plugged into a
surge-protected wall outlet and the black power
switch on the back of the system is placed in the
ON (I) position, the iBox Spectra is always
powered on. Press the Computer Power button
on the front of the system to power on the internal
computer/touch screen and access controls for the
camera, lenses, lighting and other functions.
The Power Indicator Lights on the front of the unit indicate when
the system’s main power and optional ultraviolet illumination are on.
Main Power will illuminate green when the black main power switch
on the back of the unit is in the ON (I) position (this does not indicate
that the internal computer or touch screen are on). Ultraviolet On
will illuminate red when any optional ultraviolet illumination is active
within the darkroom.
The POWER button will illuminate blue when the internal computer
and touch screen are on. (Note: The black main power switch on the
back of the unit must be in the ON (I) position in order for the internal
computer and touch screen to function.)
Note: It is recommended to leave the power switch on the back of the system in the ON position except
when the system will not be used for an extended period of time (one day or longer).
Operating the TS2 Software Interface
Upon startup, the internal computer will proceed through the boot-up process. When complete, the screen
will display the Windows desktop. The TS2 Software screen, similar to the one below, will automatically
open shortly thereafter.
To exit the TS2 Software interface, press either the close (X) or minimize (_) buttons at the top right corner
of the software (see red circle above). To power down the system, exit the TS2 Software interface by
pressing either the close (X) or minimize (_) buttons at the top right of the software. Then, using the
Windows “Start” menu, select “Shut Down”.
Refer to the TS2 Software User Manual for further instructions on using the software.
