VII
ABC
Emergency Switch
All mechanical motions in the device are stopped and
the invisible laser beam is switched off when the
emergency switch is used. Use these switches in cases
of emergency only. These are located on both sides of
the device.
On/Off button
The Prosetter 52/74/102 is only de-energized by the
On/Off button.
All plugs and sockets of the equipment units are to be
readily accessible, because you must unplug the
power cable to completely cut off all power to the
equipment (for example, in dangerous situations).
When connecting or disconnecting the power cable,
only ever hold the cable at the plug and make sure
that your hands are not wet. A damaged power cable
can cause leakage currents and electric shocks. Protect the power cable from being damaged. Never place
any heavy objects upon it and do not allow it to get
jammed.
Laser Safety
The Laser Imagesetter is a Class 1 laser product.
This means that the invisible laser radiation produced in the unit is shielded by means of protective
covers.
If used as directed, the user is never exposed to danger from the laser beam.
The laser system used in the Prosetter 52/74/102 is a
Class 3B system (up to 500 mW).
Companies which are servicing the device in Ger-
VIII
Edition March 2004
ABC
many must appoint a laser safety officer in accordance with the Accident Prevention Regulations (BGV
B2) from the Professional Trade Association.
Servicing may only be carried out by Heidelberg
personnel who have been trained by appropriate
laser protection officers for this purpose.
Service work may only be carried out by persons
authorized by Heidelberg.
The respective accident prevention regulations must
be observed at all times.
Warning: Never remove covers or any other parts of

the casing except for the work described in the Service
and Maintenance and Troubleshooting chapters. When
doing so, keep to the stipulated sequence of operations.
Otherwise, there is the danger of the invisible laser
beam causing injury to eyes and skin and/or fatal electric shocks.
Warning: You may be exposed to dangerous radiation

by the invisible laser beam if you use operating or
adjustment equipment other than those mentioned
in this documentation or if you follow other working
procedures.
When carrying out work as described in the customer
documentation, the user must always adhere to the
operating process stipulated. Protection from the
invisible laser beam is guaranteed by covers or safety
loops.
The use of laser protection glasses is not in the plans
as correct operation eliminates the need for these.
IX
ABC
Safety Loop
For your safety, the output device is equipped with a
safety loop. If the safety loop is interrupted, e.g. by
opening the back panel, all mechanical movement is
stopped and the invisible laser beam is switched off at
the exposure head.
Under no circumstances the safety system is to be
bypassed as this might lead to eye or skin injuries due
to the invisible laser beam, crushing due to the optic
carriage or injuries due to electric shock.

the screen unsteady or images flicker). This could be
caused by the 50 Hz magnetic field coming from the
power cables routed along your wall or floors.
The following corrective measures are recommended
taking into account the safety regulations for working at monitors in offices:
0
Place the monitor at a different location.
Shield the source (e.g. shield the cable duct).
Change the routing of the power supply cable.

Introduction
1 Introduction
Description of the Unit and its Functions

The Prosetter 52/74/102 works as an imagesetter based
on the indrum principle and is used for imaging PostScriptTM, PDF and TIFF files onto metal printing
plates.
These files are converted by the connected RIP (Raster
Image Processor) and are then sent to the Prosetter
52/74/102.
The Prosetter 52/74/102 has a V.24/LVDS interface for
a RIP connection (e.g. Meta Dimension).
A violet laser, equipped with a wavelength of 405 nm,
effects exposure on metal printing plates.
The printing plate is inserted manually via the feeding table. The Prosetter 52/74/102 automatically loads
the printing plate to the mold images it, punches it
(option) and then transports the imaged plate back to
the insertion table.

Exposure Principle
The Prosetter 52/74/102 is an area imagesetter. The
recording beam does not expose the composition
work character for character, but instead moves over
the entire width of the printing plate, line by line.
This recording process requires that the PostScript
files are converted to image dot files (pixel files) by

the RIP before exposure starts. The number of image

dots (pixels) per centimeter (lines/cm) or dots per inch
(dpi) depends on the selected resolution.
The laser in the optical head emits a laser beam
which is modulated (lightened/darkened) according
to the video data transferred.
The laser beam, formed correspondingly in the optical head, is deflected via a rapidly rotating mirror.
The deflected beam of the optical system moves in an
axial direction and exposes the printing plate line by
line.

Punching systems
You can choose to have your Prosetter 52/74/102
equipped with one of four different punching systems. The different punching systems have up to a
maximum of eight punching heads available.
The punches are located within the device. They
punch the printing plate after exposure before finally
unloading the plate.

produced on the printing plate which can
adversely affect the print quality.
The printing plates are very easily scratched. It is

therefore essential to insert slip sheets when you
place printing plates on top of each other, so that
they cannot scrape against each other.
Do not expose the printing plates to light and only

as briefly as possible to yellow light because yellow
light will also cause pre-exposure.
Material storage
For the storage of printing plates,
0
prior to exposure,
after exposure and
after development,
various requirements apply which can be obtained

from the manufacturer of the printing plates.

Creation and Measuring of New Material

You must set up the device and do a test run in the
order described below for every new plate type you
want to use.
The data of a similar type of plate can be used if only
the dimensions of the new printing plate are different.
Setting the Base Intensity Test Mode
Note: The Prosetter 52/74/102 has an autofocus function for all plate thicknesses. For that reason, the user
does not have to do the focus test.
This test is performed by the service personnel only:
0
during the installation of the device and
after spare parts are built into the optical system.
There are three intensity tests:

0
A base intensity test that covers the entire range

from 10000 to 1000000 for all plates. The test
starts at 10000 and increases 20% each time on the
previous value.
A base intensity test that covers the lower range

from 10000 to 100000 for bromide plates. The test
starts at 10000 and increases 10% each time on the
previous value.
A base intensity test that covers the upper range

from 80000 to 1000000 for polymer plates. The
