cal Data" chapter.
Correct Use
The Suprasetter 74/105 is a laser imagesetter for imag-
ing offset printing plates and may only be used for
this purpose as described in the customer documen-
tation.
Do not place any objects or liquids on the device.
Ventilation outlets must be kept clear at all times.
General
The Suprasetter 74/105 is to be installed by authorized
service personnel only. The ambient conditions must
be observed.
Warning: Unauthorized opening of of any parts of the
casing not specifically referred to in the operating
manual and inexpert repairs can lead to considerable
danger for the user.
Service work may only be performed by authorized
personnel trained for this purpose. The respective
accident prevention regulations must be observed at
all times.

can lead to the loss of accident insurance cover.
Power Switch with Emergency Stop Function
The Suprasetter 74/105 is fully cut off from the power
supply by the power switch (red rotary switch).
3

Before You Start ... ABC
VIII Edition September 2005
The power switch (red rotary switch) triggers a four-
pole cut-off of the Suprasetter 74/105 and the SCL 74/
102 from the power supply. In an emergency, this
power switch is used as an emergency stop switch for
the Suprasetter 74/105 and the SCL 74/102.
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 this switch in cases of
emergency. It is located behind the upper left side
panel.
On/Off button
The Suprasetter 74/105 is only de-energized by the On/
Off button.
All connectors and outlets of the service line must be
easily accessible at all times because you must fully
disconnect the device from the power supply, for
example, in hazardous situations, by using the power
switch or pulling out the power connector.
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. Pro-
tect the power cable from being damaged. Never place
any heavy objects upon it and do not allow it to get
jammed.

Suprasetter 74/105 – Operation IX
Laser Safety
The Laser Imagesetter is a Class 1 laser product.
This means that the invisible laser radiation pro-
duced in the unit is shielded by means of protective
covers.
If used as directed, the user is never exposed to dan-
ger from the laser beam.
The laser systems used in the Suprasetter 74/105 are
Class 4 products (> 500 mW).
Companies which are servicing the device in Ger-
many must appoint a laser safety officer in accor-
dance 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 and Maintenance
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 "Ser-
vice and Maintenance" and "Troubleshooting" chap-
ters. When doing so, keep to the stipulated sequence
of operations.
If you do not, the invisible laser beam may cause inju-
ries to eyes and skin and/or you may suffer a fatal elec-
tric shock.
3

Before You Start ... ABC
XEdition September 2005
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 ensured by covers or safety
loops.
The use of laser protection glasses is not in the plans
as correct operation eliminates the need for these.
Safety Loop
For your safety, the output device is equipped with a
safety loop. If the safety loop is interrupted, e.g. by
removing the insertion table, all mechanical motions
are stopped and the invisible laser beam is switched
off in the exposure head.
This safety system must never be bridged as otherwise
you are in danger of being injured by the invisible
laser beam, of being crushed by the optics carriage or
being fatally injured by an electric shock.
ESD Protective Measures for Prepress Systems and Users
Basics
Devices from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG are
resistant to electrostatic discharges (within the limits
of EN 55024:2001).
In order to protect devices and users from being
unnecessarily exposed to such discharges, we have
listed a few tips below that will help reduce the fre-
quency and intensity of the discharges.
3

ABC Before You Start ...
Suprasetter 74/105 – Operation XI
Formation
In a prepress environment, this physical phenome-
non occurs most frequently as a result of triboelec-
tricity. In such cases, electrostatic charges are gener-
ated when bodies that have close contact are
separated.
Examples:
0Walking across non-conductive (insulating) floor-
ing (e.g. synthetic floor covering)
0Removing the slip sheet from the plate
0Getting up off a seat
The intensity of these charges is determined basically
by the following parameters:
0Humidity
0Roughness of the material surface
0Pressure/space when in contact
0Conductivity of the materials
Practical Tips
The following practical tips are to help reduce the
number and intensity of electrostatic discharges
when handling the devices:
0Install the devices in rooms that have conductive
floor covering.
0Resistance to ground < 1x109ohms (IEC/EN 61340-
-5). Synthetic carpeting does not comply with this
requirement in the majority of cases. Pure con-
crete flooring generally has a low volume resis-
tance. If you have non-conductive floor covering,
the use of ESD mats placed on the operator side of
the devices is recommended. These mats can be

Before You Start ... ABC
XII Edition September 2005
obtained from suppliers. However, in such a case,
existing charges are only slowly reduced depend-
ing on the shoes that the personnel wear. For per-
sonal safety, the resistance of floor to ground
should not fall below 105ohms.
0The humidity at the installation site should not
fall below 45% relative humidity. High air humid-
ity is a decisive factor in preventing the formation
of electrostatic charges. For example, a relative
humidity of 10 - 20% will produce 35,000 V when
crossing a carpet. This value drops to 1,500 V with
a relative air humidity of 65 - 90%.
0Clothing where cotton material is >50%.
0Conductive seating.
0ESD shoes that can be obtained from suppliers and
are used on conductive flooring help further to
reduce charges when walking across floor cover-
ings.

lowing source:

ments)

ABC Introduction
Suprasetter 74/105 – Operation 1–1
1 Introduction
Description of the Unit and its Functions
The Suprasetter 74/105 is a high-speed, PostScript™-
compatible, computer-to-plate imaging device.
It images thermal printing plates in daylight opera-
tion.
The Suprasetter 74/105 receives screened data from
the RIP for imaging onto printing plates. The printing
plates are placed manually on the insertion table or
loaded by the Single Cassette Loader. The Suprasetter
74/105 automatically loads the printing plate onto
the drum, images it, punches it (option) and then
transports the imaged plate back to the insertion
table or, if an online processor is connected, directly
to the processor.
