Summary:

When you use the Matrix SlideWriter or PCR film recorders manufactured before May 1989 with Microsoft PowerPoint slides, banding on the slides may result. To correct this problem, use Conductor version 2.4, released in April 1990, and upgrade to the newer and faster SlideWriter or PCR film recorders. Due to the nonlinear response of film to light, the Conductor software contains color compensation tables. These tables have been upgraded in Conductor version 2.4; however, Conductor version 2.4 must be used in conjunction with the newer version of the film recorders.

For an upgrade to the current version of Conductor, call Matrix at (800) 876-7543 or (914) 365-0190.

Note: To print PowerPoint slides on the different Matrix film recorders using the Conductor software, the presentation must first be saved as a Scrapbook file. The ChromaScript PostScript RIP and LaserWriter driver version 6.0 or later can also be used to print to some Matrix film recorders.
