Daylight Savings Time

Question
Since the Daylight Savings Time regulations have changed, the Frontier Minilab, LPC, PIC / Frontier Manager and Kiosk will no longer automatically adjust the clock on the correct date. How do current Fujifilm customers remedy the incorrect DST time setting on their current Minilab/Kiosk equipment?

Answer
Federal Regulations will change the date when Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins and ends. Previously, DST would begin at 2:00AM on the first Sunday in April and would end on the last Sunday in October. In 2007 the new regulations state that DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November.

Fuji Minilab equipment that utilizes the Microsoft Windows Operating System (for example Frontier Minilabs, LPC, and Kiosks) will automatically adjust the internal clock for DST. However, since the DST regulations have changed, the Frontier Minilab, LPC, PIC / Frontier Manager and Kiosk will no longer automatically adjust the clock on the correct date.

Existing (previously installed) Minilab Equipment.

Customers have two options available to remedy the incorrect DST time setting on their current Minilab equipment:

1. Turn off the "Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time" setting in "Date and Time Properties" and set the clock manually when Daylight Saving Time begins and ends.

OR

2. The customer can purchase a DST Update Software Patch CD. This CD is available through the Minilab parts department for a nominal fee. The update is end user installable and will not require a service visit. Once this update is performed, the device will continue to automatically adjust DST without user intervention.

a. The part number for the DST Update CD is FTC148F1000 and the CD is currently available from the Minilab Parts Department. This update CD can be used on all Frontier Minilab Main Control Units, LPC Controllers, PIC / Frontier Manager and Kiosks.
