Hi Kala,
What is the plate size that gives you problems?
Can you view the job before exposing?
The logical thing to do is to compare the settings with the other plate size settings and realy the only difference should only be the size of the plate.

600x730 is the plate size
yes i can view the job perfectly
i have checked all the settings its ok and even i duplicated other settings for this size after that also same problem

There must be something in the Evo setup and not the Lotem
Did you try and delete this plate setup and recreat it from scratch?
How exactly is the corruption?
Does the Lotem finish exposing the job?
There are no error messages on the Lotem?
What is the link between the Evo and the Lotem?
Is there a TSP card in the Lotem?

[kala]

yes iam talking abt evo setup only
yes i deleted and recreated also again the same problem
entire plate with gapes
yes it finished exposewithout error
i couldnt understand link means wht u r mentioning here thro xpo iam connecting evo to lotem if iam not wrong even today i updated the patch file for xpo too

Kala,
It is a very strange one that only on one plate size the data gets corrupted.
If you just got your Evo from Kodak, the best advise would be to go back to them for help.

yes i got this from kodak but still iam waiting for them for a week need to sort it out asap but couldn't anyway thanks let me know what is the suggestion for this lotem error : (even though we have a echnical support cd for this ) : Motor interlock loop open
Cassette is not installed properly Caution: Only half of the plate get exposed : May take 30-45 minutes for ready mode (stand by) : How to find out which interlock is active and how to sort out the issue
iam expecting proplem from casette end. here in india we dont have proper lotem support engineers what could be ur suggestion for this

It looks to me like that the cassette magnetic switch does not make.
This is on the RHSide of the cassette
Open the front door ( top cover ) via the Loading system.
Put in the RED overide key (cheater) in the door if it is an older style Lotem OR
For newer ones open also the rear door and put in the overide key for the motors,
Look inside the Lotem from the front and if the casette is installed porperly you should see two air operated pins from the Lotem come up inside the cassette.
Give the cassette a good push towards the Lotem ( not usig the trolley frame)
Let me know how you are getting on.

[kala]

we have lotem 800v2
what u mean by cheater r u talking abt the lock
i can see the casette is properly installed and iam seeing that pins coming up towards the casette
this we r doing frequently 10% its working 90% service
becaz of this iam getting half exposed plates after that waiting for more than hour to 2 get ready/stand by (it shows service)
wht u mean by how u r getting on ?? i couldnt understand

If the Lotem stays in service mode is because one of the Interlocks is not made properly. I still suspect your cassette magnetic switch. Have a look at it on the casstte side and also on the Lotem side.
The cheaters are small RED blocks that you can insert in certain places where the doors and covers are so you can Load a plate from the Loading System with the doors open.
The Lotem will not expose plates when doors are not closed properly and one of the Interlocks is open. This is a safety feature as the Laser beam is invisible.
