HDPii Process Flows (in Table format)
Reviewing the HDPii Boot-up Sequence
Please carefully review this step-by-step process.
Step Process
1 The Card Feed Stepper turns ON (to check for a card in the card path).
2 The Film transfer take-up Motor turns ON to take up any slack in the film.
3 The Print Headlift turns until head up position is returned from Headlift Sensor.
4 The Print Ribbon moves forward until it finds the yellow panel, pauses,
advances to magenta, then backs up to yellow (the Ribbon Sensor detects the
color of the Ribbon).
5 The Transfer Film advances forward two panels from supply (advances until
the Print Film Sensor senses two marks on the Film).
6 The Transfer Film advances forward one panel from supply (advances until the
Print Film Sensor senses 1 mark on the Film).
