Photographs screens!! Easy-to-use CCD Camera with Built-in
Printer
Waveform
copier MEC880 is a camera with a built-in printer, which can be used for
photographing with oscilloscopes and other equipments. The MEC880 is 100%
digitized, using CCD (charge coupled device). Input images are immediately
output to the printer. Eight different camera hoods are available, ensuring that
the camera fits the individual screen size of each subject.
Even if your device has a print function, considerable time is often required to
locate your printer and connect cables. With the MEC880, you can obtain a
printout of your screen anywhere, and from any source. Moreover, operating costs
are just 1.9 US¢ per sheet.

Fully Digitized Device Means More Functions
Normal photographing (NORM Mode)
Simply press the START key. / Printing will be completed in 20seconds.
¡@
Multilayer photographing (Overlap)
Press
the MODE and START keys simultaneously. Output will overlap the previous and
current images. Repeat as many times as desired.
The image at the right is an example of a three-layer photographing.
Slow scanning screen photographing (SL and SGL Mode)
The shutter speed in the NORM mode is 1 / 6seconds. For example, if an oscilloscope sweeps at a rate of 2ms / div or slower or at single scan mode, the screen will be cut off. In this case, use the SL and SGL mode. Press START to take a photo, then press again to finish.
Auto
Power On and Off Function
To prevent the built-in batteries from being exhausted quickly, power is
automatically turned OFF three minutes after printing or after the last key
operation. Power supply can then be resumed by pressing any key.
Print Color (Reverse black and white)
BRIGHT:
Print black where the original subject is bright and white where the original is
dark.
[Application] Photographing of CRT, such as an oscilloscope.
¡@
DARK:
Print white where the original subject is bright and black where the original is
dark.
[Application] Photographing of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
¡@
B
and D: Print black where the original subject is either bright or dark, and
white where the original is neither.
Appropriate for emphasizing outlines.
[Application] Photographing of electronic device, printed circuit boards, and
small units.
¡@
BRIGHT DARK B and D
Print
Density (DENS)
If there is insufficient light, the print will be somewhat colorless. Change
DENS to obtain a better image quality.

Warning Messages |
INTEN: When the subject is too bright, the green LED indicator flashes. |
: When the power level of the built-in batteries is low, the green LED indicator flashes. |
: When the printer runs out of paper, the green LED indicator flashes. |
:When the printer head is overheated, the green LED indicator flashes. |
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS INCLUDE :
Data recording in a laboratory / environmental
experiment room
Recording as much of the experimental process as possible, and recording
waveforms that vary according to the ambient conditions, will make the process
more efficient and make it possible to create better quality products.
Submitting
quality control data to customers
Images are more credible and convincing than numbers. With the MEC880, the time
and cost required to obtain data are also significantly decreased.
Data and
materials for meetings called to solve problems
Working with others is often the best way to solve those problems that you can
't solve on your own. But meeting require adequate data, which is usually better
presented visually, rather than in numeric form. The MEC880 makes this easy to
do, while, at the same time, keeping costs to a minimum.
Collecting
customer data and gathering data outdoors
Carrying a lot of equipment around while visiting customers is inconvenient.
However, you need to gather vital information. On such occasions, the MEC880 is
your best choice.
Rolled paper
eliminates the need to put page numbers (on each page)
Using sheet paper requires the addition of page numbers, so that sheets will not
get lost. This is time-consuming. Using rolled paper means that you won 't need
to spend time adding page numbers, but can still indicate the page order.
Capture printed matter
You need a photocopy of a newspaper or other printed material, but no copier is available. The MEC880 makes it easy for you to take a picture.
¡@
Photographing structures
You can take pictures of electronic devices, printed circuits, and units. (See also "Print Color B and D".)
