Subject: Laboo 5.x for Encrypted and Non-Encrypted CTP system differentiation

Due to CRON is taking further improvement on its CTP (both Thermal and UV) devices, there are latest CTP models being produced and released that comes with Encrypted features that allow Laboo 5.x to fully utilize the CTP device for data storage protection and better system performance.

Therefore, we would like inform all CRON value partners and authorized support engineers to take note on these changes and knowing how to differentiate between the new Encrypted CTP system and the current Non-Encrypted CTP system which is driven only with Laboo ver 5.x software.

This applied to all CRON thermal/UV CTP, range from 26/36/46/VLF, and covers major model of E, F, and G series.

The below major parts used in these 2 systems is difference:

  1. Main Control Board
  2. Laser Driver Board
  3. Chipset(Firmware) – used on Laser Driver Board

Detail of the above parts differentiation info is listed in the following table (clause 2, 3 & 4) in this article. You may also refer to this table as a guide to identify whether a CRON CTP is an Encrypted or Non-Encrypted CTP system. Hence to avoid incorrect parts being used, miss applied or wrongly requested for replacement.

Whereby other common parts beside the above listed has no issue when used across these 2 CTP systems (Encrypted and Non-Encrypted).

For your info, you may also refer new Encrypted CTP system started to produce from the below system’s serial number:

  • Model 46(P8) begin from CT/UV01XP8XX331Z;
  • Model 36(P6) begin from CT/UV01XP6XX871Z;
  • Model 26(P3) begin from CT/UV01XP3XX381Z;
  • VLF begins from CT/UV01XPXXX153Z.

All machines produced after the above serial numbers are Encrypted version.

The following table explains the Encrypted and Non-encrypted version in details, and able to guide you to rectify the differences between these 2 CTP systems.

End.
