X-Rite DTP891U (Noritsu) Auto Scan Densitometer
It powers up when connected to the power adaptor supplied and goes through the startup diagnostic routine and starts and completes the calibration process OK. This appears to be in good working condition. New instrument cost over $3000
Operating manual is available from X-Rite's website -> Here: http:// /documents/manuals/en/891-500_891-892_Scanning_Densitometer_Operation_Manual_en.pdf
The X-Rite 891/892 automated instruments measures paper, film, and printer balance control strips. Simply insert the strip into the instrument for motorized, automatic measurements. Red, green, and blue density data is sorted for fields such as HD, LD, and Stain, then simultaneously displayed and transmitted to a minilab printer for analysis. The 892 instrument has the added ability of reading internegative strips.
To accommodate the different size control strips, the instrument has adjustable paper guides on each side of the control strip entrance. Adjustment is made by simply sliding the paper guides to the settings displayed for the selected strip.
The instrument communicates through a standard RS-232 interface. If you wish to remotely control your instrument, you must use the remote control interface protocol discussed in the RS-232 Interface Manual available from X-Rite, Incorporated.
