observe the following instructions for
unpacking and setting up.
Once you have removed the packaging,
check the scope of delivery as listed on the
next page.
1
The unit may only be connected to the
power supply once you have carried out the
instructions in the chapter Unpacking and
Setting up.
8 Scope of Delivery
The TANGO/TANGO XL scope of delivery
includes the following components:
– Scanning drum 150,
scanning drum 212 (TANGO XL only)
– Scanning drum cover
– 1 SCSI cable
– 2 power cables
– 1 “50 pin Centronics/DB 25” adapter

– 1 calibration diskette
– Tools
– Polishing materials
– Anti-static cloth
– Scanning lamp
– Barcode strips
– Alignment strips for
reflection scanning
– 2 screws (for the cover)
– 2 plastic caps
2
Note:
Setting up TANGO/TANGO XL requires a
space of approx. 3 m in length and 2.20 m
in height to allow for pallet, ramp and the
Space of approx. 3 m in length area of the unit itself.
■ Uneven Floors
In the case of uneven floors, we recommend
that you:
– have the unit set up by the service
department
or
– place a 1 cm thick aluminum plate,
62x62 cm under the unit. You will also
need a ramp for the aluminum plate.
Adjust the plate so that it is flat and
cannot wobble horizontally.
■ Remove accessories from the pallet
Firstly, remove the accessories (e. g. scan-
ning drum, cardboard covers) from the pal-
let.
Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the
screws securing the ramp. Then cut
through the retaining strap used as an
additional restraint.
The ramp will be needed later, so you
should place it near to the pallet for the
time being.
3
Screw in the screws to the stop!
In this way, the rollers come out
as far as possible so that the unit
feet are not damaged during
transport.
Note:
You will need a length of about 3 m for the
pallet, ramp and the area the unit covers
itself.
1
Do not move the You must not move the scanner when it is
scanner any more! standing on its own feet since they are not
suitable for this and could be damaged.
To be able to change the location at a later
date, the scanner must again be placed on
its transport rollers.
■ Fit support
3
The scanner must not be assem-
bled without the support (safety
requirement)!
Using the 8 mm Allen wrench, fit the sup-
port to the scanner. This prevents it from
tipping over.
The support must not touch the floor after
assembly (important for scanner operation
– if necessary, adjust the unit’s feet, see
page 17 and onwards)!
8 Correct Usage
The TANGO/TANGO XL is a drum scanner
which is only to be used for this purpose in
accordance with the user manual. Do not
use the unit as a table or support for objects
and liquids.
Do not cover up ventilation slits! Ventilation slits should not be covered up.
8 Panels
1
Before connecting up the unit, make sure
that all panels have been correctly fitted to
it.
8 Installation
Once you have unpacked TANGO/
TANGO XL and pushed it to its final posi-
tion, it must be installed. The following
steps are necessary for this:
■ Connecting TANGO/TANGO XL to the
operating station
■ Connecting TANGO/TANGO XL to the
power supply
■ Switching on TANGO/TANGO XL
■ Installing the “LinoColor” software
■ Installing the calibration data
8 Connecting TANGO/
TANGO XL to the Operating
Station
Pay attention to SCSI cable length! TANGO/TANGO XL has a SCSI connection.
TANGO/TANGO XL can be connected with
any other SCSI device that has a 50-pin
Centronics socket via the connection cable –
pay close attention to the length of the
cable when setting up the system. You can
connect TANGO/TANGO XL directly to the
operating station using the 50-pin Centron-
ics/DB 25 adapter supplied.
Connect the SCSI cable of the TANGO/
TANGO XL using the 50-pin Centronics/DB
25 adapter to the SCSI input of your Macin-
tosh.
If you wish to connect other SCSI devices in
addition to TANGO/TANGO XL to the SCSI
bus, TANGO/TANGO XL must always be the
last “link” in the chain, since the TANGO/
TANGO XL has a built-in terminator to ter-
minate the SCSI bus.
3
To maintain interference suppression regu-
lations, screened data cables must be used
exclusively. Only use cables and adapters
for connections certified by Heidelberg Pre-
press.
8 Connecting TANGO/
TANGO XL to the
Power Supply
Connectors and outlets of the house instal-
lation must always be easily accessible so
that, in the case of an emergency, the unit
can be disconnected completely from the
power supply by pulling out the power con-
nector.
Connect the unit to the power supply by
means of the three-pin plug and socket
included in the delivery. Only operate the
unit when a earthing conductor is con-
nected.
The power connection is located on the left
at the rear of the unit.
The operator has no access to the fuse.
3
The unit may only be serviced by the Ser-
vice Department.

8 TANGO/TANGO XL – Product
and Performance Features
TANGO/TANGO XL is a universal, fast, high-
quality drum scanner.
TANGO/TANGO XL is easy to operate using
the Power Macintosh and the color image
processing software, LinoColor, version 4.2
and later for TANGO, and version 5.1.4 and
later for TANGO XL.
■ Originals
Reflection, transparency, color and black-
and-white, contone or lineart, positive or
negative and screened printed originals.
■ TANGO Copix/TANGO iXL
TANGO Copix/TANGO iXL allow you to
redigitize film sets (TANGO iXL also allows
you to use the 212-mm Copix drum in addi-
tion to the 150-mm Copix drum). This
enables you to re-use archived, screened
originals, which can be scanned and further
processed within a digital workflow.
■ Large-size scanning drum
In addition to the 150-mm diameter drum,
the TANGO XL also allows you to fit a larger
drum with a 212-mm diameter, giving you a
useful format of 645 x 500 mm.
■ Easy and production-oriented job prepa-
ration
Exchangeable scanning drums can be pre-
pared away from the scanner using the
TANGOMOUNT or TANGOMOUNT XL origi-
nal mounting device, while the TANGO/
TANGO XL scanner continues to process
other jobs.
8 Overall Configuration
The system environment consists of the
operating unit, operating software and the
output path.

drums are included in the scope of delivery.
2
The TANGO/TANGO XL specifications
stipulate that only parts supplied or
approved by Heidelberg Prepress should be
used in TANGO/TANGO XL, as otherwise
faults or even the withdrawal of approval
may result.
This applies particularly to the scanning
drums for TANGO/TANGO XL and TANGO
Copix/TANGO iXL which, for operation at
high speeds and automatic tensioning, must
fulfil specific safety requirements of the
appropriate test institutions.
Only original Heidelberg Prepress scanning
drums guarantee the safe operation of
TANGO/TANGO XL in respect of bonding,
material, geometry, and the safety enquir-
ing components required to comply with
approval standards.
8 Scanning Area
The scanning area for transparency and
reflection modes is the same. The maxi-
mum useful area is
- 450 x 480 mm for TANGO
- 645 x 500 mm for TANGO XL
8 Scanning Time
The scanning time depends on:
- Quality selection
- Scanning mode
- Original size
- Scale factor
- Recording screen
- Computing power of the operating station
- Scanning drum size
8 Scanning Lamp
The same halogen lamp is used for both
transparency and reflection scanning
modes.

Gap between Make sure that the alignment
the 2 grooves tracks for transparency and
reflection modes are not covered
up (space between the two
grooves). There must be no pic-
ture or adhesive strip in this area.
Check whether the alignment strip attached
to the drum for reflection scanning align-
ment is in perfect condition.
Operation is performed on the Macintosh.

8 Mounting of Originals
Originals are mounted away from TANGO/
TANGO XL. To perform this task, we recom-
mend using the original mounting devices
- TANGOMOUNT for 150-mm drums
or
- TANGOMOUNT XL both for 150-mm
drums and for 212-mm drums.

Caution:
Physical factors (e.g. temperature changes,
scanning drum balance errors, necessary
bearing play) have a stronger effect at the
open end of the scanning drum than in the
vicinity of the flange. Originals should
therefore always be mounted in the vicinity
of the flange, if possible.
To achieve optimum quality and register
Scales larger than1000 % accuracy, make sure that with scales larger
than 1000 % the originals for this scale
range - even with the drum covered in orig-
inals - are always mounted in the vicinity of
the flange.
3
Warning!
If volatile and therefore usually easily
inflammable substances such as film
cleaner are used for original mounting
Caution with inflammable instead of the recommended scan gel or
film cleaner! anti-Newton oil, ensure that the area is well
ventilated. There should be no smoking and
fire and sparks should be avoided.

Adhesive strips
■ Avoidance of fingerprints
To avoid fingerprints getting on to the
transparencies, always handle the trans-
parencies using curved flat tweezers.
■ Newton rings
You can most easily recognize Newton rings
by looking directly at the transparency. If
Newton rings are present, then the mount-
ing and fixing procedure must be repeated.
■ Air bubbles
You can most easily recognize air bubbles
by looking through the scanning drum onto
the transparency with a dark background.
You can push out the air bubbles by going
over the transparency with a cloth.

8 Notes on Safety
1
Connectors and outlets of the house
installation must always be easily
accessible so that, in the case of an
emergency, the unit can be disconnected
completely from the power supply by
pulling out the power connector.
The operator has no access to the fuse.
3
The unit may only be repaired by the
Service Department in the case of failure.
Do not install the unit in the vicinity of air-
conditioning systems and protect it from
moisture and direct sunlight.
Caution:
3
Unauthorized opening of the unit’s housing
and improper repairs not expressly
described in the documentation can lead to
considerable danger for the user.
Servicing work may only be performed by
authorized specialist personnel. The
respective accident prevention regulations
must be observed at all times.
Non-observance of accident prevention
regulations can lead to the loss of accident
insurance cover.
8 Servicing
1
In addition to the servicing work listed in
the documentation to be performed by the
user, further servicing work – also during
the warranty period – has to be performed
by the Service Department. This servicing
work is not part of the warranty.
0 Cleaning Agents
3
When using cleaning agents, observe the
manufacturer’s instructions.
3
As acetone solubilizes plastics and color
paints, it should not come into contact with
either of these materials and should be
used very selectively. For this reason, the
cotton buds must have a wooden stem, as
plastic stems may be solubilized by the
acetone and can soil the optics, causing
irreparable damage.
3
The acetone should not come into contact
with the scanning drum or painted parts.
After you have cleaned the lens, you should
go over it with spectroscopically pure
isopropanol.
Here too it is important that the cotton buds
are used only once.
The lamp used for reflection scanning
should be cleaned in a similar way,
although dirt here is relatively unimpor-
tant.
Drum or film cleaners should only be used
in the last resort, as these can leave traces
on the surface of the optics after drying.
Here too, you should in any case go over the
optics after cleaning with dry cotton buds.
If you have any questions regarding
cleaning, ring the Service Department. You
can send very dirty optics to be cleaned by
the Service Department!
You can find the order numbers for the
necessary accessories and consumables in
Chapter 7, Technical Data and Accessories.
1
You must disconnect the unit from the
power supply prior to cleaning it using
liquids by pulling out the power supply
cable.
Caution: the unit is not completely
disconnected from the power supply simply
by switching it off at the power switch.
The surfaces of the unit can be cleaned
using a dry cloth.
If the unit is very dirty, cleaning can be
performed using a damp cloth, dipped in
washing-up liquid and well wrung out.
Make sure that no liquid can penetrate into
the inside of the unit and do not allow liquid
to reach the power connection socket on the
rear of the unit.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents
or solvents.
8 Cleaning Originals
To obtain optimum scanning results, the
originals must also be cleaned and
maintained as required.

drum must be completely clean and grease-
free.
The strip is applied to the inside, parallel to
the groove in the direction of feed.
Prefabricated strips are available for this,
which are included in the scope of delivery.
Between the grooves there is a gap of
approx. 1 cm as an alignment track for
transparency scanning. Make sure that the
strip begins 5 mm from the flange end of
the drum with a field for focus
measurement. The distance to the open
drum end can vary (the 212-mm drum is
longer than the 150-mm drum).
■ Make sure that the alignment track for
the transparency mode remains free.
