IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES
PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the copier and peripherals,make sure that the copier power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the copier and easily accessible.
3. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers offor open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrifiedor mechanically driven components.
4. The copier drives some of its components when it completes the warm-upperiod. Be careful to keep hands away from the mechanical and electricalcomponents as the copier starts operation.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot whilethe copier is operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components withyour bare hands.
HEALTH SAFETY CONDITIONS
Toner and developer are non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes byaccident, it may cause temporary eye discomfort. Immediately wash eyes withplenty of water. If unsuccessful, get medical attention.
OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS
The copier and its peripherals must be serviced by a customer servicerepresentative who has completed the training course on those models.
CAUTION
1. The NVRAM module installed on the controller has a lithium battery whichcan explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace the NVRAM only with an
identical one. The manufacturer recommends replacing the entire NVRAM.Do not recharge or burn this battery. Used NVRAM must be handled inaccordance with local regulations.
2. The optional fax and memory expansion units contain lithium batteries, whichcan explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or anequivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Do not recharge or burnthe batteries. Used batteries must be handled in accordance with localregulations.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ricoh-b202b178b180-service-manualpdf 28/904
SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL
1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly
when exposed to an open flame.2. Dispose of used toner, the maintenance unit which includes developer or the
organic photoconductor in accordance with local regulations. (These arenon-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
4. When keeping used lithium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do notput more than 100 batteries per sealed box. Storing larger numbers or notsealing them apart may lead to chemical reactions and heat build-up.
LASER SAFETY
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair oflaser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repairedin a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem isreplaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is notrepairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return allchassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement ofthe optical subsystem is required.
WARNING Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other thanthose specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING
WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of theprocedures in the Laser Optics Housing Unit section. Laserbeams can seriously damage your eyes.

3.2.4 COLOR REGISTRATION
Line Position Adjustment
The automatic line position adjustment usually is done for a specified condition toget the best color prints.Do the following if color registration shifts: Do “Auto Color Registration” with the user tools (Maintenance menu – Color
Registration) or SP5-993-2 to do the forced line position adjustment. Youshould also do the line position adjustment at these times:
• After you transport or move the machine (you should do the forced lineposition adjustment if you install the machine at the user location.) if themachine is pre-installed at the workshop and moved to the user location,
• When you open the drum positioning plate
• When you remove or replace the motors, clutches, and/or gears related tothe drum/development/transfer sections
• When you remove or replace the transfer belt, transfer belt unit or laser
optical housing unit
Adjustment of Line Speed for Thick Paper
You must adjust the line speed of the fusing unit (the speed of developmentmotor-K) at these times:
• The color registration shifts more on the trailing edge than on the leadingedge.
• The problem has not been solved by the line position adjustment.

3.2.5 PRINTER GAMMA CORRECTION
NOTE: The ACC is usually sufficient to adjust the color balance to get the bestprint output. You only need the printer gamma correction to fine-tune tomeet user requirements.
Use SP modes if you want to modify the printer gamma curve created with ACC.You can adjust the gamma data for the following:
• Highlight
• Middle
• Shadow areas
• IDmax.
The adjustable range is from 0 to 15 (16 steps).

KCMY Color Balance Adjustment
The adjustment uses only “Offset” values.
NOTE: Never change “Option” values (default value is 0).
Highlight (Low ID) Levels 2 through 5 in the C4 chart 10-level scale
Middle (Middle ID) Levels 3 through 7 in the C4 chart 10-level scale
Shadow (High ID) Levels 6 through 9 in the C4 chart 10-level scale
ID maxLevel 10 in the C4 chart 10-level scale (affects the entire imagedensity.)
Offset The higher the number in the range associated with the low ID,middle ID, high ID, and ID max, the greater the density.
There are four adjustable modes (SP4-918-009):
• Copy Photo mode
• Copy Letter mode
• Copy Letter (Single Color) mode
• Copy Photo (Single Color) mode

Adjustment Reference For Gamma Correction
The following tables show the adjustment reference for gamma correction. Thetables show the following:
•Level of the color scale on the C4 test chart
• Tone control test sheet printed in the printer SP mode.
For example, for K at text mode, grade 12 on the tone control test sheet should bethe same as grade 7 on the C4 chart.
It is not usually necessary to adjust the gamma data as shown in the table since ACC adjusts the gamma curve automatically. You only need fine-tune of colorbalance by gamma data adjustment when the result from ACC and ColorCalibration does not meet the customer’s requirements.

The error involves one or somespecific units. The machineoperates as usual, excluding the
related units.
Turn the operation switch off andon.
CThe error is logged. The SC-codehistory is updated. The machineoperates as usual.
The SC will not show. Only the SChistory is updated.
Othererrors
D
The machine operation is disabled.You can reset the machine byturning the operation switch or mainswitch off and on. If the error occursagain, the same SC code isdisplayed.
Turn the operation switch or mainpower switch off and on.
After you turn the main switch off, wait for one second or more before you turn the
main switch on ( SC 672). All SCs are logged. The print log data (SP5-990-004)in SP mode can check the latest 10 SC codes detected and total counters whenthe SC code is detected.
NOTE: 1) If the problem is related to electrical circuit boards, first disconnect thenreconnect the connectors before you replace the PCBs.
2) If the problem is related to a motor lock, first check the mechanical loadbefore you replace motors or sensors.

4.6.2 COLOR SHIFT
The following briefly explain the factors causing color shifts and what to do on the machine to cor
• Temperature change causes the optical components in the laser
optics housing unit to contract, causing the main scanmagnification to change. To correct the line position, the machineautomatically does the line position adjustment when the
temperature changes by 5°C since the last position adjustment.If the line position adjustment functions correctly, no color shiftoccurs. If the line position adjustment fails (result: SP5-993-007),color lines may shift anywhere on the outputs.
• The process speed at each stage (registration roller, transfer belt,and fusing belt/roller) affects the paper transport speed. If thepaper transport speed changes during image transfer of a color,the color line being transferred shifts with respect to the color line
already transferred to the paper. The registration roller speed(adjusted by color development motor speed) and fusing belt/rollerspeed (adjusted by black development motor speed) are adjustedby the manufacturer.Paper speed may slightly change due to the type of paper used orafter replacing the parts related to the drive sections of theregistration section, transport unit, and fusing unit. (After replacingthe fusing unit, the speed adjustment should be done in the UserProgram mode.) Also, the position where color shift occursdepends on which section starts moving at the incorrect speed.
• Paper skew directly affects the color shift between the front andrear sides. There are several factors. One of them is the position ofthe side fences.

How to measure the gap between colorlines
Use a magnification scope to measure thegap [A] between the two lines. Measure thedistance between the same sides of the twolines. For example (see the illustration),measure between the left edges of the lines.
Pattern 1
Color shift in the sub-scan direction at theleading edge
This illustration shows that the colored(dotted) line is above the black line. Thismeans that the registration roller speed is toohigh for the paper used. Therefore, theregistration roller speed needs to be reduced.To do this, decrease the setting (percentage)of SP1-004-004, 005, and SP1-005-003. Thisdepends on the mode selected.
• SP1-004-004 Normal paper,Color mode, 1200 dpi (81 mm/s)
• SP1-004-005 Normal Paper,Color mode, 600 dpi (C2a/k: 125 mm/s,C2b: 162 mm/s)
• SP1-005-003 Thick Paper (81 mm/s)
Pattern 2
Color shift in the sub-scan direction at thetrailing edge
This illustration shows that the colored(dotted) line is above the black line. This
means that the fusing roller speed is too highfor the paper used. Therefore, the fusingroller speed needs to be slower. To do this,decrease the setting (percentage) of SP1-004-001, 002, or 007. This depends on themode selected.

Pattern 3
Color shift (magnification change) in the main-scan direction
Fig. 1 and 2 shows that the colored (dotted) line has shifted away from the blackline. The amount of shift is not the same as at the front, center, and rear. Both Fig.1 and Fig. 2 show that the color grid is larger than the black grid. Yellow becomeslarger from left to right in Fig. 1. Cyan and magenta become larger from right to left.This is because the laser writing direction for B&Y is different from C&M.
Pattern 4
Color shift (registration) in the main-scan direction
Colored line shifts in the main-scan

4.6.3 COLOR SHIFT AFTER TRANSFER UNIT REPLACEMENT
Do the following procedure below if the color shift level is not within the target
range (max 150µm) after you replace the transfer unit and do the forced line
position adjustment (SP5-993-002 or Auto Color Registration):
Check the color shift level
1. Make sure that OPC Refresh (SP3-920-005) has been done.2. Print out the SMC sheets (SP5-990-002).3. Print a 1-dot grid pattern with A3/11" x 17" paper. Refer to the following table
for detailed SP mode settings:

NOTE: You need to do each adjustment with the paper type normally used bythe customer.
4. Check the tendency of color shift in the grid pattern printed in step 3. At times,a magnification scope must be used to measure the amount of color shiftbetween colors.
5. Go to the next step (fusing/registration roller speed adjustment) if the result isnot within the target.
Fusing/ Registration Roller Speed Adjustment
SP mode (sub-scan registration) reset
1. Make sure that the SMC sheets (SP5-990-002) have been printed out.
2. Reset the setting of SP5-993-016 to 021 to "0."
Transfer belt aging
1. Remove all PCUs. Place them on clean sheets of paper. Cover the drums witha few sheets of paper to keep the drums away from light. Then secure the drum
positioning plate (2 screws). Then return the transfer unit release lever to theoriginal position.
2. Perform the transfer belt idling with SP5-804-066 (Drum M M CW) for about 3minutes. (This stabilizes the transfer belt side-to-side movement.)
3. Reinstall the PCUs.
4. Perform adjustments ( 3.10.1).
5. Print a 1-dot grid pattern with A3/11" x 17" paper in 600 dpi mode.
6. Follow the troubleshooting guide if the color shift in the main-scan direction isnot within the adjustment standard.

4.6.4 BLACK OVER PRINT
Black over print does not let unexpected white lines show when black letters orlines are printed with color background. You can enable or disable this feature from
the printer driver (default: disabled).Black over print has the following bad effects when it is enabled:
• Crispness may deteriorate because the black toner spreads out.
• More toner is consumed.
• The background color may be seen through black letters or lines.
Black Over Print Disabled
Black lines and color background areprinted as follows:
1. The color toner (for example,magenta [B] and yellow [A] toner)is transferred on the paper [C].Some space [D] is left blank forthe black toner.
2. The black toner [E] is transferredin the blank space.
An unexpected white line [F] shows ifthe line position of the black toner is
not correct.
Black Over Print Enabled
Black lines and color background areprinted as follows:
1. The color toner (for example,magenta [B] and yellow [A] toner)
is transferred on the paper [C].2. The black toner [D] is transferred
on the color toner.

Adjusts the black development drive motor speed for the B&W middle process speed.The value stored in this SP mode is different from SP1-004-002 (see the note for SP1-004). At the middle process speed, the transfer unit position for B&W is different than forcolor mode. The transfer unit position affects the paper transport quality, causing thepaper to flip up at the fusing section if the same speed as color mode is used for B&Wmode. To minimize the occurrence of paper flipping up, which causes smearedimages in the trailing area, this SP mode can change the motor speed in B&W mode.

Adjusts the color development drive motor speed for the B&W middle process speed.The value stored in this SP mode is different from SP1-004-005 (see the note for SP1-004). At the middle process speed, the transfer unit position for B&W is different than forcolor mode. The transfer unit position affects the paper transport speed slightly. ThisSP mode can adjust the motor speed for B&W mode.

[Machine Temp. Cor.] Machine Temperature CorrectionTh: Threshold, Heating or Pressure roller
1912
Corrects the fusing temperature depending on the temperature inside the machine.If the temperature inside the machine is too high or low, this may cause hot or coldoffset image at the fusing section. To avoid the offset image, the fusing temperature is
corrected depending on the temperature inside machine. This is monitored by thethermistor located on the right side of the laser optics-housing unit.
If the temperature inside the machine is detected as high or low (based on thesettings of SP1-912-001 or 002), the fusing temperature is decreased or increased bythe temperature specified in SP1-912-003 to 006. Also, see SP 1-917-1.

[Temperature. Cor. 1] Fusing Temperature Correction (Correction Timing)1913
Specifies the number of sheets to determine whether or not to apply the fusing
temperature correction.During a multi print job, the fusing temperature tends to slightly overshoot around the10th sheet and then stabilize. Temperature overshooting may cause the glossiness toincrease.To minimize the overshooting, both fusing and pressure roller temperatures aredecreased by the amount specified in SP1-914 at the number of sheets specified inthis SP mode, until the end of the job.The temperatures are decreased in two steps.Example: Middle speedFirst step (also called “Mode 1”): After 5 sheets (SP 1-913-2), temperature drops by
5"C (SP 1-914-2).Second step (also called “Mode 2”): After 20 sheets (SP 1-913-7), temperature drops

Specifies the temperature for starting a print job.
The fusing section is already warmed up when the last print job was completed. Ifprints are made on OHP or thick paper at this time, the fusing temperature tends tobe higher than the target, causing exit roller marks or a paper jam in the fusingsection.To prevent this, the print job will not start if the heating and pressure rollertemperatures are higher than the following:(Target temperature specified by SP1-105-13, -24, -26, -28) - (Temperature specified

Adjusts the toner supply amount (fixed rate) when making multiple prints of pageswith low image ratio (coverage).When printing with a low image ratio, toner concentration is controlled only with Vtoutputs since pixel count is not done for low image ratios. This may cause theattraction force between toner and carrier to increase, resulting in low image densityon outputs. To prevent this, the machine counts the number of pixels and supplies a
fixed amount of toner if the accumulated number of pixels becomes greater than thespecified level.

Corrects the transfer current for paper size.
When small paper is used for printing, the transfer current flows to the drum at thenon-image areas where the transfer belt touches the OPC drum. This may cause anabnormal image due to insufficient current at the image areas.NOTE: Increase only when an abnormal image (insufficient image transfer) occurs on
a small paper size. However, increasing the current too much may causeimage offset.

Rotates the mirror position motors (CMY) by 250 pulses clockwise; then by 125pulses counterclockwise. This moves the mirrors back to the initial position. Then, thesettings of SP2-908-002 to 004 are reset to 0.When the line position adjustment fails, it is one of possible causes when the mirrorposition motor locks. Performing this SP mode can move the mirrors back to theoriginal position if it locks. Then, do the forced line position adjustment (SP5-993-002).

Temperature *BCU [10 to 30 / 25 / 1"C /step]3920 1
This SP determines the temperature threshold for determining whether refresh mode
is done just after the machine is switched on.The charge roller generates NOx (nitrogen oxides), and these contaminate the OPCdrum surface and may cause a smeared image.Just after the main switch is turned on, if the temperature measured by both thethermistor located at the right side on the laser optics housing unit and thetemperature/humidity sensor is greater than the temperature specified in this SPmode, refresh mode is done before initial process control.During refresh mode, toner is developed on the OPC with 50V development potentialand cleaned to remove NOx. This cycle is repeated a few times.

Perform forced toner refresh mode.When the developer has deteriorated or when prints are made in a very low humidity
condition, dirty background may appear continuously.When this kind of dirty background appears, check whether the development gammais within the target (SP3-120 and 121). If the development gamma is not within thetarget, do this SP mode.The machine automatically does the toner refresh mode in the following sequence.1. Consumes toner in the development unit without toner supply until toner end is
detected2. Starts toner recovery mode.3. Starts process control self-check.
NOTE: If toner is drastically consumed for a short time, this may cause carrier to flowout. To prevent this, toner is consumed over a long period of time. (It takesabout 20 minutes to complete this toner refresh mode).

42 to 44 These SPs adjust the main scan registration when it is in 1200 dpi printing mode. Thepolygon motor speed is different between the 1200 dpi printing mode and other dpiprinting modes. Because of this, the registration position of 1200 dpi printing mode isslightly different from other printing modes.Example: If magenta is always shifted one dot to the left, reduce 5-993-43 by 1.

Displays the value given by the following formula:
(Current revolution ÷ Target revolution) × 100. This shows how much of the unit’sexpected lifetime has been used up.The R% counter is based on rotations, not prints. If the number of rotations reachesthe limit, the machine enters the end condition for that unit. If the print count lifetime isreached first, the machine also enters the end condition, even though the R% counteris still less than 100%.Oil supply unit: When the R% counter reaches 100%, it enters the near-end condition,not the end condition. The end condition occurs some number of rotations after this(not adjustable).NOTE: The machine internally adjusts or compensates as necessary, depending on
conditions of machine usage. Due to this, at the oil supply unit near-endcondition, the R% counter of the oil supply unit can be 100%, lower than100%, or higher than 100%.

SP8-xxx: Data Log2
Many of these counters are provided for features that are currently not available,such as sending color faxes, and so on. However, here are some Group 8 codesthat when used in combination with others, can provide useful information.
SP Numbers What They Do
SP8 211~SP8 216 The number of pages scanned to the document server.
SP8 401~SP8 406 The number of pages printed from the document server
SP8 691~SP8 696 The number of pages sent from the document server
Specifically, the following questions can be answered:
• How is the document server actually being used?
• What application is using the document server most frequently?
• What data in the document server is being reused?
Most of the SPs in this group are prefixed with a letter that indicates the mode of
operation (the mode of operation is referred to as an “application”). Before readingthe Group 8 Service Table, make sure that you understand what these prefixesmean.
Prefixes What it means
T: Total: (Grand Total). Grand total of the items counted for allapplications (C, F, P, etc.).
C: Copy application.
F: Fax application.
P: Print application.
S: Scan application.
Totals (pages, jobs, etc.) executed for eachapplication when the job was not stored on thedocument server.
L: Local storage(document server) Totals (jobs, pages, etc.) for the documentserver. The L: counters work differently case bycase. Sometimes, they count jobs/pages storedon the document server; this can be indocument server mode (from the documentserver window), or from another mode, such asfrom a printer driver or by pressing the StoreFile button in the Copy mode window.Sometimes, they include occasions when theuser uses a file that is already on the documentserver. Each counter will be discussed case bycase.
O: Other applications(external networkapplications, forexample)
Refers to network applications such as WebImage Monitor. Utilities developed with the SDK(Software Development Kit) will also be countedwith this group in the future.

These SPs count the number of times eachapplication is used to do a job.
[0~9999999/ 0 / 1]
Note: The L: counter is the total number of times theother applications are used to send a job to thedocument server, plus the number of times a filealready on the document server is used.
• These SPs reveal the number of times an application is used, not the number ofpages processed.
• When an application is opened for image input or output, this counts as one job.
• Interrupted jobs (paper jams, etc.) are counted, even though they do not finish.
• Only jobs executed by the customer are counted. Jobs executed by the customer
engineer using the SP modes are not counted.• When using secure printing (when a password is required to start the print job),
the job is counted at the time when either “Delete Data” or “Specify Output” isspecified.
• A job is counted as a fax job when the job is stored for sending.
• When a fax is received to fax memory, the F: counter increments but the L:counter does not (the document server is not used).
• A fax broadcast counts as one job for the F: counter (the fax destinations in thebroadcast are not counted separately).
• A fax broadcast is counted only after all the faxes have been sent to theirdestinations. If one transmission generates an error, then the broadcast will not
be counted until the transmission has been completed.• A printed fax report counts as one job for the F: counter.
• The F: counter does not distinguish between fax sending or receiving.
• When a copy job on the document server is printed, SP8022 also increments,and when a print job stored on the document server is printed, SP8024 alsoincrements.
• When an original is both copied and stored on the document server, the C: andL: counters both increment.
• When a print job is stored on the document server, only the L: counterincrements.
• When the user presses the Document Server button to store the job on thedocument server, only the L: counter increments.
• When the user enters document server mode and prints data stored on thedocument server, only the L: counter increments.
• When an image received from Palm 2 is received and stored, the L: counterincrements.
• When the customer prints a report (user code list, for example), the O: counterincrements. However, for fax reports and reports executed from the faxapplication, the F: counter increments.

• When an application like DeskTopBinder merges a copy job that was stored onthe document server with a print job that was stored on the document server, theC: and P: counters both increment.
• When a job already on the document server is printed with another application,the L: counter increments.
• When a scanner job stored on the document server is printed with another
application, the S: counter increments. If the original was scanned from withindocument server mode, then the L: counter increments.

These SPs count the number of pages printedby the customer. The counter for the applicationused for storing the pages increments.
[0~9999999/ 0 / 1]The L: counter counts the number of pagesstored from within the document server modescreen at the operation panel. Pages storedwith the Store File button from within the Copymode screen go to the C: counter.
• When the A3/DLT double count function is switched on with SP5104, 1 A3/DLTpage is counted as 2.
• When several documents are merged for a print job, the number of pages storedis counted for the application that stored them.
• These counters are used primarily to calculate charges on use of the machine,so the following pages are not counted as printed pages:
• Blank pages in a duplex printing job.
• Blank pages inserted as document covers, chapter title sheets, and slip-sheets.
• Reports printed to confirm counts.
• All reports done in the service mode (service summaries, enginemaintenance reports, etc.)
• Test prints for machine image adjustment.
• Error notification reports.
• Partially printed pages as the result of a copier jam.

counted.2) If Scan-to-Email is used to send a 10-page document to 5 addresses,the count is 10 (the pages are sent to the same SMTP server together).
3) If Scan-to-PC is used to send a 10-page document to 5 folders, thecount is 50 (the document is sent to each destination of the SMB/FTPserver).
4) Due to restrictions on some devices, if Scan-to-Email is used to send a10-page document to a large number of destinations, the count may bedivided and counted separately. For example, if a 10-page document issent to 200 addresses, the count is 10 for the first 100 destinations andthe count is also 10 for the second 100 destinations, for a total of 20.).

8 681 T:PCFAX TXPGS *CTL
8 683 PCFAX TXPGS *CTL
These SPs count the number of pages sent by PCFax. These SPs are provided for the Faxapplication only, so the counts for SP8 681 andSP8 683 are the same.
[0~9999999/ 0 / 1]
• This counts pages sent from a PC using a PC fax application, from the PCthrough the copier to the destination.
• When sending the same message to more than one place using broadcasting,the pages are only counted once. (For example, a 10-page fax is sent to location A and location B. The counter goes up by 10, not 20.)

8 696 L:TX PGS/LS *CTL
These SPs count the number of pages sent fromthe document server. The counter for theapplication that was used to store the pages isincremented.
[0~9999999/ 0 / 1]The L: counter counts the number of pages storedfrom within the document server mode screen atthe operation panel. Pages stored with the StoreFile button from within the Copy mode screen goto the C: counter.
NOTE: 1) Print jobs done with Web Image Monitor and Desk Top Binder areadded to the count.
2) If several documents are merged for sending, the number of pages
stored is counted for the application that stored them.3) When several documents are sent by a Fax broadcast, the F: count is
done for the number of pages sent to each destination.
TX PGS/Port *CTL [0~9999999/ 0 / 1]8 701
These SPs count the number of pages sent by the physical port used tosend them. For example, if a 3-page original is sent to 4 destinations viaISDN G4, the count for ISDN (G3, G4) is 12.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
B202/B178/B180 5-150 SM
5.6.1 BEFORE YOU BEGIN
An SD card is a precision device. Always observe the following precautions whenyou handle SD cards:
• Always switch the machine off before you insert an SD card. Never insert the SDcard into the slot with the power on.
• Do not remove the SD card from the service slot after the power has beenswitched on.
• Never switch the machine off while the firmware is downloading from the SDcard.
• Keep SD cards in a safe location where they are not exposed to hightemperature, high humidity, or exposure to direct sunlight.
• Always handle SD cards with care. Do not bend or scratch them. Do not let theSD card get exposed to shock or vibration.
Keep the following points in mind when you use the firmware update software:• “Upload” means to send data from the machine to the SD card. “Download”
means to send data from the SD card to the machine.
• To select an item on the LCD, touch the appropriate button on the soft touch-screen of the LCD, or, press the appropriate number key on the 10-key pad ofthe operation panel. For example, when “Exit (0)” shows on the screen you can

5.7.1 OVERVIEW
The service program “SD Card Appli Move” (SP5-873) lets you to copy applicationprograms from one SD card to another SD card.
Slot 1 and Slot 2 are used to store application programs. Slot 3 is for maintenancework only. You cannot run application programs from Slot 3. However you canmove application programs from Slot 3 to either Slot 1 or Slot 2. Do the followingprocedure it you want to move an application procedure from Slot 3:
1) Choose a SD card with enough space.2) Enter SP5873 “SD Card Appli Move”. Then move the application from the
SD Card in Slot 3 to the Slot you want.NOTE: Do steps 1-2 again if you want to move another application program.
3) Exit the SP mode
Use high caution when you do the AD Card Appli Move procedure:
1. The data necessary for authentication is transferred with the applicationprogram from an SD card to another SD card. Authentication fails if you try touse the SD card after you copy the application program from one card toanother card.
2. Do not use the SD card if it has been used by the user on the computer.Normal operation is not guaranteed when such an SD card is used.
3. Keep the SD card in a safe place after you copy the application program fromone card to another card. This is done for the following reasons:1) The SD card can be the only proof that the user is licensed to use the
application program.2) You may need to check the SD card and its data to solve a problem in the
future.
4. You cannot copy PostScript data to another SD card. You have to copy otherdata to the same SD card that stores PostScript data.

Please keep the following important points in mind when you do this setting:
• Note that the number entries for Keys 1 to 5 are the same for the Copy, Printer,
Scanner, and Web memory modules.• The initial settings are all zero.
• These settings remain in effect until you change them. Be sure to check all thesettings, especially the settings for Keys 6 to 10. To switch off a key setting,enter a zero for that key.
• You can select any number of keys from 1 to 10 (or all) by entering thecorresponding 4-digit numbers from the table.
• You cannot mix settings for the groups (COPY, PRINTER, etc.) for 006~010. Forexample, if you want to create a PRINTER debug log you must select thesettings from the 9 available selections for the “PRINTER” column only.
• One area of the disk is reserved to store the debug log. The size of this area is
limited to 4 MB.
5.9.2 RETRIEVING THE DEBUG LOG FROM THE HDD
Retrieve the debug log by copying it from the hard disk to an SD card.
1. Insert the SD card into the service slot of the copier.
2. Enter the SP mode and execute SP5857-009 (Copy HDD to SD Card (Latest 4MB)) to write the debugging data to the SD card.
3. Use a card reader to copy the file and send it for analysis to your local Ricohrepresentative by email. You can also send the SD card by regular mail if youwant.

5.9.4 NEW DEBUG LOG CODES
SP5857-015 Copy SD Card-to-SD Card: Any Desired Key
This SP copies the log on an SD card (the file that contains the information writtendirectly from shared memory) to a log specified by key number. The copy operationis executed in the log directory of the SD card inserted in the same slot. (Thisfunction does not copy from one slot to another.) Each SD card can hold up to 4MB of file data. Unique file names are created for the data during the copyoperation to prevent overwriting files of the same name. This means that log datafrom more than one machine can be copied onto the same SC card. Thiscommand does not execute if there is no log on the HDD for the name of thespecified key.
SP5857-016 Create a File on HDD to Store a Log
This SP creates a 32 MB file to store a log on the HDD. However, this is not acompletely empty file. The created file will hold the number “2225” as the SCS keynumber and other non-volatile information. Even if this SP is not executed, a file iscreated on the HDD when the first log is stored on the HDD (it takes some time tocomplete this operation). This creates the possibility that the machine may beswitched off and on before the log can be created completely. If you execute thisSP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of timerequired to acquire the log information and save onto the HDD. With the file alreadycreated on the HDD for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded. A new logfile does not need to be created. To create a new log file, execute SP5857-011 todelete the debug log data from the HDD. Then do SP5857-016.
SP5857-017 Create a File on SD Card to Store a Log
This SP creates a 4 MB file to store a log on an SD card. However, this is not acompletely empty file. The created file will hold the number “2225” as the SCS keynumber and other non-volatile information. Even if this SP is not executed, a file iscreated on the SD card when the first log is stored on the SD card (it takes sometime to complete this operation). This creates the possibility that the machine may
be switched off and on before the log can be created completely. If you executethis SP to create the log file beforehand, this will greatly reduce the amount of timerequired to acquire the log information and save onto the SD card. With the filealready created on the SD card for the log file, the data only needs to be recorded;a new log file does not require creation. To create a new log file, execute SP5857-012 to delete the debug log data from the SD card. Then do SP5857-017.

1. Drum charge: The charge roller gives the drum a negative charge
2. Laser exposure:
The laser beam from the laser diode (LD) goes through the lens and mirrorsand reaches the drum. The machine turns the laser beam on and off to make alatent image on the drum.
3. Development: The development roller carries negatively charged toner to the latent image onthe drum surface. This machine uses four independent development units (onefor each color).
4. Image transfer: The charge given to the transfer roller attracts the toner from the drum to thepaper. Four toner images are super-imposed onto the paper.
5. Cleaning for OPC drum: The cleaning brush and blade remove remaining toner on the drum surfaceafter image transfer to the paper.
6. Quenching for OPC drum: Quenching is done by illuminating the whole area of the drum with the laser atthe end of every job.
7. Paper attraction: Paper is attracted to the transfer belt by the charge given to the paper attractionroller.
8. Separation: Paper separates from the transfer belt when the belt curves away from it.
9. Cleaning and quenching for transfer belt: The cleaning brush and blade clean the belt surface. The grounding rollerinside the transfer belt unit removes the remaining charge on the belt.
10. ID sensor: The ID sensor board contains three ID sensors (front, center, and rear). The IDsensor detects the density of the ID sensor pattern on the transfer belt. The IDsensor output is used for the following:
• Process control and for automatic line position
• Skew• Color registration adjustments for the latent image.

Process Control Self Check
This machine uses the process control self check method to do the potentialcontrol. The machine uses seven types of process control self check. These arecategorized according to their execution timing:
1. Forced
This is done when SP3-126-1 is used.
2. Initial
This starts automatically when the power is turned on, or, when the machinerecovers from energy saver mode. This occurs only if the fusing unit pressure
roller temperature is 60°C or less.
3. Interval: Job End
This starts automatically at the end of a print job when the total print counter for
this feature exceeds 200 (you can change this with SP3-906-1). The countersare reset to ‘0’ after all process control is done (except for forced processcontrol).
4. Interval: Interrupt (default: not done)
This interrupts printing and then starts automatically at the following times:
1) When the machine makes a certain number (A) of continuous color prints inthe same job
2) The main scan length detection is executed.
After the above are completed, the machine continues to make prints.
You can adjust value A with SP3-906-2 (default: off). At this time, only VREF iscorrected. Potential control (VD, VB, VL correction) is not done.
5. Non-use Time (default: not done)
This starts before the next print job if the machine has no job for a certain time(M) after it makes more than a certain number (N) of prints.
You can adjust M with SP3-906-4. You can adjust N with SP3-906-3.
6. After Toner End Recovery
This starts after recovery from a toner end condition.
7. After Developer Initialization
The machine executes the Auto Toner Density Adjustment (SP3-125-003). Thisstarts after a developer initialization is done. Developer initialization occursautomatically after a new development unit has been installed.

6.2.3 PROCESS CONTROL SELF CHECK PROCEDURE
Step 1: V SG Adjustment
This machine uses three ID sensors (direct reflection type). They are located at the
front, center, and rear of the transfer unit. Only the center ID sensor is used forprocess control. The ID sensor checks the bare transfer belt’s reflectivity. Then themachine calibrates the ID sensor until its output (known as VSG) is as follows.
• VSG = 4.0 ± 0.5 Volts
This calibration compensates for the transfer belt’s condition and the ID sensorcondition. For example, if dirt gets on the surface of the belt or ID sensor.

Step 2: ID Sensor Solid Pattern Generation
First, the machine agitates the developer for between 15 and 30 seconds until thefluctuation in TD sensor output becomes less than 0.3V.
Second, the machine makes the first series of grade patterns (see the diagram).This 5-grade pattern is made in black, yellow, cyan, and magenta (20 squares intotal). They are made by changing the development bias and charge roller voltage.The difference between development bias and charge roller voltage is always thesame.
Finally, the machine makes the second series of grade patterns in the same orderas the first series. The development bias and charge roller voltage are not thesame as those of the first series.
Step 3: Sensor Pattern Detection
The ID sensor detects the densities of the 10 solid-color squares for each color (5squares in the first series and another 5 squares in the second series). This datagoes to memory.
Step 4: Toner Amount Calculation
The amount of toner on the transfer belt (M/A, mass per unit area, mg/cm2) is
calculated for each of the 10 grades of the sensor pattern from the ID sensoroutput value from each grade of the pattern.

Step 5: V D, V B, VL Selection and V REF Adjustment
The machine determines the relationship between the amount of toner on thetransfer belt and the development bias for each of the 10 grades. Then themachine selects the development bias and charge roller voltages for the target M/Afor each color by referring to a table in memory.
Laser power (VL) selected depends on the setting of SP3-125-2.
• If it is set to "Fixed", the LD power is fixed at the value of SP2-103-1, to -27.
• If it is set to "Process Control", LD power is selected using the same memorytable as mentioned above.
• If it is set to "LD power", LD power is determined by ID sensor highlight patterngeneration (steps 6 to 8 later in this procedure).
The machine also adjusts VREF (toner density target) at the same time so that thedevelopment gamma detected by process control will be the value stored in SP3-120-1 to -4 (do not adjust in the field unless advised to do so).
NOTE: The patterns on the transfer belt are cleaned by the transfer belt-cleaningunit.
Allowable changes to VD, VB, and VL (as a result of process control):
This depends on the process control type as follows.
• Forced: No limit
• Initial: After Developer Initialization: ± 80 volts• Interval: (Job End/ Non-use Time/ During Toner End Recovery): ± 40 volts
• Interval: (Interrupt): Constant (The memory table is not used.)
Steps 6 to 8 are done only if SP3-125-2 is set to "LD Power". (Default: Steps 6to 8 are not used)

Step 6: ID Sensor Highlight Pattern Generation
The machine makes a 10-grade pattern on the transfer belt for each toner color.The pattern has 10 squares. Each of the squares is 12 mm x 15 mm, and is a dot-pattern squares (not solid-color squares like in the process of step 2). They aremade using constant bias and charge roller voltages selected from one of the types
mentioned above. The various grades are made by changing the LD power.
Step 7: Sensor Pattern Density Detection
The ID sensor detects the densities of the 10 grade-pattern squares for each color.This data goes to memory.
Step 8: V L (LD Power) Selection
The machine determines the relationship
between the amount of toner on the transferbelt and the laser power for each of the 10grades. Then the machine selects the laserpower to get the target M/A.

The M/A target (mass-per-area target) is the target toner amount in a given area.To adjust the toner amount, a highlight pattern [B] is created on the transfer belt atthe following times during each print job.
Job Interval Color of highlight pattern
Black-and-white printing After every four pages Black
Color printing After every one page One of four colors
For color jobs, the order of pattern generation is K → Y → M → C → K → Y → M
→ C. The highlight pattern is made about 2 cm after the trailing edge of the paper[A].
Adjustment Process
The machine generates a highlight pattern (one grade) of a specified density. Thecenter ID sensor checks the density. Then the machine adjusts VREF by comparingthe reading with the target of each color (SP3-905-1 to 4). The machine adjustsVCNT when this adjustment is not sufficient.

6.2.5 TONER SUPPLY CONTROL
Overview
Toner supply control uses the following to determine the amount of toner to be
supplied. This is done before every development for each color.
• Density of the toner in the developer (detected by the TD sensor) - VREF, VT
• Pixel count
The image density is kept constant by adjusting the density of toner in thedevelopment unit. At the same time, it accommodates changes in the developmentconditions through the potential control mechanism. Environmental changes andthe number of prints made are also used in the calculation.
The amount of toner supplied is determined by the ‘on’ time of the toner supply
clutch. The total ‘on’ time for each toner supply clutch is stored in the memory chipfor the relevant toner cartridge. The amount of toner supplied also depends on theprocess line speed for the current job. The machine supplies the calculated amountof toner for each color.
Toner Supply Control Modes
This machine has three toner supply control modes. You can select them with SP2-208-1 to -4.
1. Fuzzy control mode
This is the default toner supply control mode. The TD sensor, ID sensor, andpixel count are used in this mode.
2. Proportional control modeThis mode is used when the ID sensor at the center becomes faulty. Only theTD sensor is used to control toner supply. The machine uses the VREF that isstored in SP2-224-5 to -8.
3. Fixed supply modeThis mode is used when the TD sensor becomes faulty. You can adjust theamount of toner supply with SP2-208-5 to -8 if the image density is incorrect(the default setting is 5%).

6.2.6 TONER NEAR END/TONER END DETECTION
Introduction
Toner Near End
The controller considers the following information to determine the toner near end
status:
• TD sensor [A] in the development unit
• Operation time counter of the toner attraction pump [B]
• Memory chip [C] on the toner cartridge
• Toner end sensor [D]
There are two different toner near-end detection procedures (referred to as “TonerNear End Detection 1” and “Toner Near End Detection 2”). The machine enters thenear-end condition if either of these is detected.
Toner EndTo determine the toner end status, the controller considers the followinginformation:
• TD sensor [A] in the development unit
• Pixel counter

Toner Near End Detection 1
The controller considers the following information from the TD sensor:
1) The controller checks that the following condition is satisfied ten times
consecutively:VREF + 0.4 V < VT
NOTE: You can adjust the condition with SP2-212.
2) If the above condition is satisfied, toner is supplied to the development unit.The messages, “Loading Toner” and “Please wait,” show.
3) The controller checks the above condition again.
a) If the condition is satisfied, the controller decides that the machine is inthe toner near end status. The messages, “Toner is almost empty,”“Replace Toner Cartridge(s),” and “Xxxxx,” shows. “Xxxxx” indicates the
color, such as cyan.b) If the condition is not satisfied, the controller decides that the machine is
not in the toner near end status. The machine resumes its normaloperation.
Toner Near End Detection 2
The controller considers the information from the operation time counter of thefollowing:
• Toner attraction pump
• Memory chip on the toner bottle• Toner end sensor.1) To calculate the toner amount remaining in the toner cartridge, the controller
considers the operation time counter of the toner attraction pump and theinitial amount of the toner (recorded in the memory chip).
2) If the amount reaches the predefined weight (default: 100 g), the controllerchecks the signals from the toner end sensor.
NOTE: You can adjust the weight with SP2-212-1 and -2.
a) If the signals indicate the toner amount has fallen to a certain level
(determined by SP 2-212-12 to -15), the controller decides that themachine is in the toner near end status. The messages, “Toner is almostempty,” “Replace Toner Cartridge(s)”, and “Xxxxx,” show. “Xxxxx”indicates the color, such as cyan.
b) If the signals indicate the toner amount is not less than a certain level,the controller decides that the machine is not in the toner near end status.The machine resumes its normal operation.

Toner End Detection
The machine flags the toner end status when one of the conditions below isdetected for a toner color. The messages, “No Toner,” “Replace Toner Cartridge,”and “Xxxxx,” show. “Xxxxx” indicates the color, such as cyan.
• VREF + 0.5 V < VT (ten times consecutively)
• The pixel counter counts up to the equivalent of 50 A4 sheets of pixels (100%coverage) since near-end was detected.
However, printing continues if fewer pages have been made since near-end thanthe number set with SP 2-212-11 (default: 10 pages).
NOTE: If one of the following conditions is detected 10 consecutive times, themachine flags a “toner end condition”. This condition does not depend onthe number of pages printed since near-end.
• VREF + 1.2 V < VT
• VT > 4.8 V
The machine cannot print until the toner cartridge is replaced after it detects tonerend for black. The machine can print in black and white only if cyan, magenta, oryellow are in a toner end condition during standby mode. At this time the machinecannot do color print jobs.
NOTE: If the yellow, cyan, or magenta toner ends during a color-printing job, the job is suspended until toner is supplied. If new color toner is not installed,the user can print black-and-white jobs only.
Toner End Recovery
The machine assumes that the toner cartridge has been replaced if either of thefollowing occurs when the near-end or end status exists:
• The upper right cover is opened and closed.
• The main switch is turned off and on.
Then the machine starts to supply toner to the development unit. After supplyingtoner, the machine clears the toner near-end or end status if the followingconditions are detected:
• Vt [0] – Vt [3] > 0.5V
• Vt – Vref > 0.3V

6.2.7 DEVELOPER INITIALIZATION
You must set “Enable” in SP5-999-005 (black), 006 (yellow), 007 (magenta), or 008(cyan) for the machine to detect the new unit after you install a new development
unit. These settings depend on the development unit you install. The machineinitializes the developer when it detects a new unit.
First, the machine agitates the developer for about 60 seconds. Second, it adjusts
VCNT (control voltage for TD sensor) so that VT (TD sensor output) becomes 3.0 ± 0.2 volts. Finally, the machine keeps this VT as VREF.
VCNT is corrected for the current humidity every print job. VCNT is also corrected forthe total number of prints. This does not let the developer Q/M vary.
If the humidity correction is giving poor
results (for example, if the humidity sensor[A] is broken), it can be disabled with SP2-223-2. Then a value for VCNT must be inputmanually using SP2-224-1 to -4 (adjust bytrial and error).
During developer initialization, the machineforcibly supplies toner because there is notoner inside the toner transport tube atinstallation. Then the machine does theprocess control self check.

6.3.2 SCANNER DRIVE
The scanner motor [B] drives the 1st scanner [A] and the 2nd scanner [E] throughthe scanner drive pulley, scanner drive shaft [C], and two scanner wires [D].
Book mode -
The SBU board controls the scanner drive motor. The 2nd scanner speed is half
that of the 1st scanner.
In reduction or enlargement mode, the scanning speed depends on themagnification ratio. The returning speed is always the same, whether in full size ormagnification mode. The image length change in the sub scan direction is done bychanging the scanner motor speed. In the main scan direction it is done by imageprocessing on the IPU board.
You can adjust the magnification in the sub-scan direction by changing the scannermotor speed with SP4-008.
ARDF mode -
The scanners always stay in their home position (the scanner HP sensor detectsthe 1st scanner) to scan the original. The ARDF motor feeds the original throughthe ARDF. In reduction/enlargement mode, the image length change in the sub-scan direction is done by changing the ARDF motor speed. Magnification in themain scan direction is done in the IPU board. This is the same as for book mode.
You can adjust magnification in the sub-scan direction by changing the ARDFmotor speed with SP6-017.

Signal Processing
1. Signal Amplification
• Operational amplifiers amplify odd-pixel and even-pixel RGB analog signalsfrom the CCD.
2. Signal Composition
• The amplified signals (even-pixel and odd-pixel for each RGB color) arecombined by the MPX circuit after A/D conversion.
A/D Conversion
• The analog signals (CCD output) are converted to 10-bit (1024 gradations) digitalsignals.
White Level Correction
A white plate is on the back of the left scale. The scanner scans this plate to seethe actual white level when you turn the switch on. To compensate the differencebetween the actual white level and the ideal white level (target white level), the
CCD-gain control is conducted.
Others
The SBU controller exchanges the R and B signals if the original is scanned withthe ARDF.

Black Level Correction
• Improves image reproduction for high-density areas.
• Reads the black video level at black elements on the CCD. These pixels aremasked off, and should produce a pure black signal.
• This is subtracted from the value of each pixel.
• Calculated for each scan line.
• Corrects the image data for any changes in black level with time, as the machinescans down the page.
Adjustments
The properties of the scanner unit, (necessary for controlling the scanner VPU(video processing unit)), are stored in the NVRAM on the controller.
Adjust the following after you replace the SBU:

Picture Element (Dot Position) Correction
Picture element correction does the following two things:
1. Completion of the scan line correction process.
2. Correction if the CCD is not perpendicular to the light.
• The green CCD line is taken as a standard.
• Both ends of the red and blue lines are adjusted to match.
• Use SP 4-932-1 to 4-932-4 to change the vertical line correction level( “3. Replacement and Adjustment – Image Adjustments”).
Scan Line Correction
R, G, and B CCD lines are spaced 4 lines apart (8 lines total) when full sizemagnification is used.
• Scan line correction synchronizes these signals by storing each line in memory.
• The difference between the R, G and B signals depends on the magnificationratio.
• If this calculation does not result in an integer, the corrected data is set to theclosest integer. At this time, further correction is needed ( “Picture ElementCorrection”).
Image Separation
The machine separates the original image into text and photo (dot screen) areas.
Edge Separation
• Used to locate text and line diagrams
• Locates areas of strong contrast.
• Looks for continuity of black or colored pixels.
• Looks for continuity of white pixels around black or colored pixels.
• Only uses data from the green CCD.
Dot Screen Separation
• If white pixels are not detected around non-white pixels, it is a dot screen area.
Colored Text Separation
• Identifies whether the text area’s pixels are black or color.
• This is based on the following:1) Differences among the RGB maximum signal levels.2) Output levels of the RGB video signals.

• Edge emphasis applied to text areas.
Background Density Control
• Removes low ID image signals (background) that are less than a certainthreshold.
• The threshold depends on the color mode (single color or full color).
Users can select a different threshold for each mode.
ADS (Auto Image Density Selection)
• Full color mode1) Refers to the RGB data taken from the entire original.2) Calculates a threshold for removing the background based on this data.
• Black and white mode1) Determines the peak white level.2) Peak level data is taken for each scan line.3) Removes the peak white level from the image. This produces a white
background.4) Also uses the peak white level to determine the white reference value for
A/D conversion.5) Background density is adjusted before data is input to the A/D converter.

Printer Gamma Correction
The gamma curves for yellow, magenta, cyan, and black should be identical, asshown in figure 1. However, slight variations in the electrical components can resultin varying gamma curves, as shown in figure 2.
• Printer characteristics are much more variable than scanner ones. Printergamma needs recalibration and adjustment from time to time.
• The Auto Color Calibration (ACC) procedure compensates for any discrepanciesin color reproduction.
• ACC makes new gamma curves for each color in each mode (text, photo, andblack text).
• After ACC, you can adjust the gamma curve for each color with service program
(SP4-918).• 4 different modes:1) ID max.2) Shadow (High ID)3) Middle (Middle ID)4) Highlight (Low ID)
• You can get back the previous gamma curve if it was better.
• You can load factory settings with SP 5-610-4.NOTE: If the factory settings have been overwritten, this will return the new
values, not the actual settings made in the factory. This is deliberate,since some drift is expected. After a time, the original factory settings
may no longer be suitable.• Factory settings can be overwritten by the current gamma settings with SP5-610-

Auto Color Calibration Test Pattern
The test pattern has eight, 17-stepgradation scales for each color (CMYK).This includes background white for Textand Photo modes.
ACC automatically calibrates the printergamma curve. The user starts the ACCprocess.
1. The user prints an ACC TestPattern.
2. The user places the test pattern onthe exposure glass.
3. The copier makes 8 scans to readeach color scale.
4. The copier corrects the printergamma by comparing the idealsettings with the current imagedensity.
5. The copier combines the correctedgamma curve with the shadow,middle, and highlight values in thecurrent memory.
6. Then the copier calculates the IDmax (amplitude of the gamma curve) based on data from the ACC scan.
7. You can adjust the corrected printer gamma further with SP mode (SP4-918).
Error Diffusion
Error diffusion reduces the difference in contrast between light and dark areas of ahalftone image. Each pixel is corrected using the difference between it and thesurrounding pixels. The corrected pixels are then compared with an error diffusion
matrix.

You can check the IPU board with SP4-904-1 or 2.( “4. Troubleshooting” for details)

This machine uses four LD units and one polygon mirror motor to produce latentimages on four OPC drums (one drum for each color toner).
There are two hexagonal mirrors. Each mirror reflects beams from two LD units.The LD unit for black has two laser diodes to do dual beam writing (this is onlydone for black-and-white printing; for full color printing, only one of the beams isused).
Laser exposure for magenta and cyan starts from the rear side of the drum.However, for yellow and black it starts from the front side of the drum. This isbecause the units for magenta and cyan are on the other side of the polygon mirrorfrom the units for yellow and black.

The laser beams for cyan [C] and yellow [A] are directed to the upper part of thepolygon mirror [B]. Laser beams for magenta [E] and black [D] are directed to thelower part of the polygon mirror. The LD mirrors (see the previous page) deflect the
laser beams for magenta and black towards the lower polygon mirror.The WTL [F] corrects the main scan line. Without this component, the line bendsout towards the middle of the main scan. The central bend of the WTL is adjustedin the factory.
The speed of the polygon mirror depends on the selected mode and model (seebelow).

6.6.3 LASER SYNCHRONIZING DETECTOR
OverviewThe machine has four laser synchronizing detector boards (LSD). There is one ateach corner of the laser optics-housing unit.
Each pair of boards detects two colors. The machine recognizes each color fromthe time that they are detected. The two LSDs at the right [A] are used for magentaand cyan. The two LSDs at the left [B] are used for yellow and black.
Main Scan Start Detection
For magenta and cyan, the LSD at the rear detects the start of the main scan. Foryellow and black, the LSD at the front detects the start of the main scan.
Clock Frequency Adjustment
Each pair ensures that the number of laser clock pulses in the main scan isconstant. If the count for one particular beam varies from normal, the LD clockfrequency for that beam is adjusted.
If the board at the end position is defective, this cannot be detected. At this time,you must disable the detection feature with SP2-919-1.

6.6.4 DUAL BEAM WRITING
Dual Beam Mechanism
The LD unit for black has two laser diodes. Each face of the polygon mirror writes
two main scan lines. This only happens for black and white printing.
Laser Beam Pitch Change Mechanism
There is a spring [A] at the front end of the black LD unit [E]. There is a positioningmotor [D] at the right end. The spring pushes the unit clockwise, while the motorpushes it counterclockwise. These two components drive the unit to one of thefollowing three positions:
• 600-dpi position []
• 1,200-dpi position []
• Home position []
Before it is driven to the 600-dpi position or the 1,200-dpi position, the black LD unitis set to its home position. When driven from one position to another, the unit goesas follows:
• 600-dpi position → Home position → 1,200-dpi position
• 1,200-dpi position→ Home position → 600-dpi position
The home position is detected by the home position sensor [B]. When the unit is inits home position, the actuator [C] is out of the sensor. The 600-dpi and 1,200-dpipositions are determined by the distance from the home position. The distance iscalculated from the operation time of the LD positioning motor.

Printing Mode and Black LD Unit Position
The machine changes the main scan resolution between 600 and 1,200 dpi forblack and white printing by rotating the LD unit. However, this does not occur forOHP sheets and thick paper (remains at the 600 dpi position).
The table shows the printing modes and the positions of the black LD unit.

6.6.6 AUTOMATIC LINE POSITION ADJUSTMENT
Overview
YY, KK, CC, MM: Spaces between two lines of the same color
KY, KC, KM: Spaces between a black line and a color line
During automatic line position adjustment, the line patterns above are created eighttimes on the transfer belt. The spaces between the lines (YY, KK, CC, MM, KY, KC,KM) are measured by the front, center, and rear ID sensors. The controller takesthe average of the spaces. Then it adjusts the following positions andmagnification:
• Sub scan line position for YCM
• Main scan line position for YCM
• Magnification ratio for KYCM
• Skew for YCM
The transfer belt-cleaning unit cleans the transfer belt after the patterns aremeasured. SC285 shows if an error is detected four times consecutively.

Summary of Each Adjustment
Sub scan line position for YCM
The adjustment of the sub-scan line position for YCM is based on the line positionfor K (color registration). The machine measures the gaps between the lines ofeach color in the pattern on the transfer belt. If the gaps for a color are not correct,the machine moves the image of the color up or down the sub scan axis. To do this,it changes the laser write timing for that color.
Main scan line position for YCM
If the machine detects that the image is out of position in the main scan direction, itchanges the laser write start timing for each scan line.
Magnification adjustment for KYCM
If the machine detects that magnification adjustment is necessary, it changes theLD clock frequency for the required color.
Skew for YCM
The adjustment of the skew for YCM is based on the line position for K.

6.7.4 DRUM CHARGE AND QUENCHING
This machine uses a non-contact charge roller [A] to reduce ozone. The non-contact charge roller gives the drum surface a negative charge. The high voltagesupply board – C.B, which is located at the rear of the machine, applies a dc andac voltage (at a constant current) to the roller. The ac voltage helps to ensure thatthe charge given to the drum is as uniform as possible.
The machine automatically controls the charge roller voltage if automatic process
control is enabled (i.e., if SP3-125-1 is set to "ON"). However, if process control isswitched off, (i.e., if SP3-125-1 is set to "OFF"), the dc voltage is the value storedin SP2-001-1 to -4 (do not adjust in the field unless advised to do so).
The diameter of the roller is 11.14 mm (circumference about 35 mm). The gap
between a drum and the corresponding charge roller is about 50 µm.
The cleaning brush roller [B], which always contacts the charge roller, cleans thecharge roller.
The charge roller can generate small amounts of nitrogen oxide gases (known asNOx). These gases can stay on the surface of the drum. This can cause unfocusedcopies. To avoid this, the film of NOx is removed at the following times:
• Power on
• At the end of a job (if more than 200 prints)
• When a toner cartridge has been replaced
SP3-920-1 to -4 determines when this procedure (known as “refresh mode”) isdone. You can do this at any time with SP3-920-5 if the prints are smeared.
Quenching is done by illuminating the whole area of the drum with the laser at theend of every job.

6.7.6 WASTE TONER COLLECTION
Waste Toner Path
The waste toner from the collection augers in the four PCUs drops into the wastetoner collection duct from the four openings [F][G][H][I] at the rear of the PCUs. Thetoner collection coils [J][K][L] in the duct transport this waste toner towards thewaste toner bottle [A]. The coils [J][K][L] are driven by development drive motor-
CMY. The openings and PCUs correspond as follows: black → [F], yellow → [G],
cyan → [H], magenta → [I].
The waste toner from the transfer belt-cleaning unit drops into the waste tonercollection duct from another opening [E].
The end of the waste toner collection duct is in the waste toner bottle [A]. There arethree openings [B][C] and one collection coil [D] in this part. The waste toner dropsinto the bottle through the openings. The collection coil [D] is driven by drum drivemotor-K.

6.7.7 WASTE TONER BOTTLE FULL DETECTION
The waste toner bottle set switch [A] detects the bottle when it is placed in the
machine.The waste toner sensor [B] detects the weight of the bottle and informs themachine when it is almost full.
When the bottle contains a certain amount of waste toner, the sensor isdeactivated. The machine detects that the waste toner bottle is almost full andshows “Waste Toner is Almost Full”.
At this time, the machine can print about 2,500 more sheets. After printing 2,500sheets, it shows “Replace Waste Toner,” at the end of the job. After this, youcannot use the machine again until the bottle is replaced or emptied.
NOTE: The number of sheets is calculated on the assumption that the paper sizeis A4 and that the coverage ratio of each color is 5%.

6.8.3 DEVELOPER AGITATION
Two mixing augers [A and B] circulate the developer forward and backward toagitate the developer.
This happens at the following times:
• During process control self check
• During toner supply
• During development.
Ducts on the top of the developer hopper [C] make sure that the internal pressuredoes not become too high. These ducts are sealed to not let the toner solidify.
This development unit does not operate very well at high temperatures (over 50°
C). The toner inside the development unit can become solid at temperatures higherthat this value. A developer initialization error shows if the toner does become solid. At this time, you must do the following procedure:
NOTE: You should also do this procedure when you install a new developmentunit.
1. Remove the (old) development unit.
2. Keep the (new) development unit level and shake it several times from side toside.
3. Install it to the machine.

There is a dc bias voltage.
The machine automatically controls the dc bias, if automatic process control isenabled (i.e., if SP3-125-001 is set to "ON"). However, if process control isswitched off, (i.e., if SP3-125-001 is set to "OFF"), the dc bias is the value stored inSP2-201-001 to 009 (do not adjust in the field unless advised to do so).

6.8.5 TONER SUPPLY MECHANISM
Overview
The air transport system agitates the toner [H] in the toner cartridges [G]. Toner istransported to the development unit [A] by the toner attraction pump [B] (eachcartridge has a separate pump). This provides a more stable way to transport finepowder than previous methods.
Toner Agitation and Attraction
The rear air pump [D] supplies air to the yellow and magenta toner cartridges. Thefront air pump [E] supplies air to the black and cyan toner cartridges. Air agitates allthe toner in each cartridge. The pumps and four valves [C] control the airflow.Mixed with air, the toner passes part of the way along the transport tube [I] towardsthe toner attraction pump. This pump draws the toner the rest of the way ( TonerTransport).
The air pump turns on to supply air to the toner cartridges for one second under thefollowing conditions:
• During normal operation (when the “on” time for a toner supply clutchreaches a certain value).
• When forced toner supply (SP2-207) is done
• When forced toner density adjustment (SP3-126-002) is done
• At toner end recovery
• Developer initialization
The filter [F] on the inner package of the toner cartridge ensures that the internalpressure does not become too high.

Air Flow and Toner Flow
The air tube [F] and the toner tube [E] are connected to the joint [C] at the bottomof the toner cartridge holder. This joint contains an inner pipe [A] and an outer pipe[B]. These two pipes are L-shaped. The inner pipe goes through the outer pipe.The inner pipe is longer than the outer pipe.
The toner goes through the inner pipe [A], and reaches the toner tube [E] at thebottom end of the pipe. The toner passes the sensor windows [G] on its way to thetoner tube. The windows are transparent and are at the front side and the rear sideof the pipe. The light emitted from the toner end sensor [D] goes through this areaif there is no toner in the pipe.
The airflow generated by the air pump goes through the outer pipe [B], and comesout of the four openings at the top end.
Toner Near End Detection
Toner end sensors [D] detect toner near end conditions ( 6.2.6).

Toner Transport
Each toner attraction pump has the same mechanism. The pump (toner attractionpump) [A], has the following components:
• Toner supply clutch [B]
• Rubber tube [C]
• Rotor [D]
The above components attract the toner in the toner transport tube [E] toward thedevelopment unit.
The toner supply clutch drives the rotor, which draws the toner in from the cartridgeand passes it to the development unit. When supplying toner, the clutch turns onand off as many times as necessary to supply the necessary amount of toner. The
amount of toner depends on the results of toner supply control.Motor drive comes from the development drive motors.

Shutter Mechanism
The development unit and toner attraction pump each have a shutter mechanism.The protrusion [A] on the development unit opens the shutter [B] in the pump whenthe development unit is placed in the machine. At the same time, the protrusion [C]on the pump opens the shutter [D] in the development unit. When both shutters areopen, toner can enter the development unit from the toner attraction pump.
The shutter spring [E and F] pulls and closes the shutter when the development
unit is removed.
6.8.6 TONER CARTRIDGE DETECTION
The memory chip [A] on each toner cartridgestores the total “on” time of the toner supplyclutch. This is used to calculate the amount oftoner remaining in the toner cartridge. The chipis also used to detect whether the cartridge isinstalled (if the cartridge is not installed, the
machine does not detect a signal from thememory chip).

6.9.9 GRIP ROLLER RELEASE MECHANISM
The grip roller release mechanism reduces the pressure of the grip roller [E].
The grip roller transports a sheet of paper to the transfer unit. When the transfer
unit starts to feed the leading edge of the paper [G], the trailing edge has still notreached the grip roller. Paper is handled by the transfer unit and the grip roller atthe same time. If the handling speeds are not the same, this may skew the paper.Longer paper sizes are more affected by the speed difference than shorter sizes.From the viewpoint of image crispness, multi-color images are more easily affectedthan mono-color images.
To solve this possible problem, the grip roller release mechanism is activatedunder the following conditions:
1) B4 paper or longer is being fed.2) The machine is operating in the full-color mode.
3) The leading edge of the paper has been fed in the transfer unit.
The spring [A] always presses the grip roller against the transport roller [B]. Whenthe above conditions are met, the solenoid [F] turns on. Then the lever [C] pushesthe grip roller shaft [D], and the grip roller moves away from the paper.

7. Back-up roller8. Cleaning blade9. Toner collection auger10. Cleaning brush11. Cleaning unit12. ID sensor
Paper is fed to the transfer belt before image transfer begins. The paper attractionroller charges the paper to ensure that the paper is attracted to the belt.
The magenta, cyan, yellow, and black color images transfer to the paper while thetransfer belt feeds the paper past the drums towards the fusing unit. A positive
charge is applied to the paper under the transfer belt, opposite each drum, totransfer the toner from the drums onto the paper. The back-up roller makes surethat the contact area between the drum and belt is sufficient.
The cleaning unit in the transfer unit cleans the belt surface with the cleaning bladeand brush. The waste toner collected from the belt is transported to the waste tonerbottle.
There are three ID sensors (front, center, and rear). Only the center ID sensordetects the image density of the patterns generated on the transfer belt for processcontrol. The other function of the ID sensors is for automatic line position
adjustment. All ID sensors are used for this.

Transfer belt speed control
This machine uses two devices (Rotation encoder and transfer belt mark sensor) tocontrol the transfer belt speed.
Rotation Encoder
An encoder [C] is on one of the rollers. This encoder checks the rotation speed ofthe transfer belt. The controller analyzes the signals from the encoder. Then itadjusts the rotation speed of the transfer belt.
The encoder contains a disk that has 300 notches on its surface [B]. Thesenotches are read by the sensor [A]. The controller counts the number of notchesthat the sensor has read in the unit of time. If the sensor has read an unusuallylarge number of notches or an unusually small number of notches, the controllerignores such unusual signals. Therefore, incorrect reading does not affect therotation speed.
Filter H: The number of notches read by the sensor when the rotation speed of the transfer belt isat its highest possible value.
Filter L: The number of notches read by the sensor when the rotation speed of the transfer belt isat its lowest possible value.

Transfer belt mark sensor monitors the belt speed. The machine uses thisinformation to adjust the speed of the belt to account for the belt regularity.
This control method is called "Dancing Control" in the SP5-995. You must execute
SP5-995-025 and -027 after replacing the transfer belt unit or transfer belt.

6.11.3 TRANSFER CURRENT
The transfer roller [D] applies a current to transfer the toner to the paper on thetransfer belt [A]. The high voltage supply board supplies current to the transferroller and the paper attraction roller [C].
These currents are automatically corrected for paper size, temperature (measuredby the thermistor on the right side of the laser optics housing unit), and humidity(measured by the humidity sensor).
The following adjustments are shown below:
• You can adjust the transfer roller current for each printing mode (color or B/W,resolution, paper type) with SP2-301-1 to -99. The by-pass tray settings are usedwhen the duplex unit has not been installed and the user is making duplex printsmanually from the by-pass tray. There is a correction for narrow-width paper withSP2-309-5 to -11.
• You can adjust the current for paper attraction with SP2-801-1 to -37.
The back-up roller [E] makes a wider contact area between the drum [B] and thebelt. The transfer exit roller [F] is charged to 2 kV. The roller prevents the tonerfrom being scattered while the paper is leaving the transfer unit.
The other rollers are grounded to neutralize the belt surface.

6.11.5 TRANSFER BELT CONTACT
Mechanism
The transfer belt contact and release mechanism increases the lifetime of thetransfer belt and drums.
The drum for black always contacts the belt. However, the transfer belt movesaway from the other drums during monochrome printing.
In the standby mode, the transfer belt contacts only the black drum. The transferbelt moves away from the black drum when you turn the release levercounterclockwise.
When the machine prints a color page, the machine waits until the previous pagehas gone through the transfer unit. Then the transfer belt contact motor [C] turns on
and a cam [D] moves the lower end [E] of the transfer belt upward, so that itcontacts the other three drums.
The machine does not release the transfer belt from the color drums during the job,even if a monochrome page comes again. This is because the total printing speedreduces if the transfer belt changes position.
The belt moves away from the color drums if the job is interrupted by any errorexcept a power failure.
NOTE: If a power failure occurs when the transfer belt is in contact with the drum,the belt stays in this position. To release the belt, swing out the controller
box. Then turn the drive gear [B] manually.

Transfer Belt Sensor
The transfer belt sensor [A] operates as a detection sensor during machineinitialization, and also as a position sensor during machine operations.
Before machine initialization, the lower end of the transfer belt is in the homeposition. When initialization starts, the transfer belt contact motor lifts the lower enduntil the actuator has passed the sensor. Then it lowers it to its home position. Thisaction actuates the sensor in a certain pattern.
The table lists the sensor actuation patterns.

Color Printing Off
On: The actuator is out of the sensor.Off: The actuator is interrupting the sensor.
Copier ACS
The Auto Color Select manages the transfer belt and PCUs. To print color pages,the ACS lifts the transfer belt and operates the four PCUs. To print black and whitepages, the ACS manages the transfer belt and the PCUs as follows:
1. The ACS keeps the transfer belt in the lower position and operates the blackPCU (does not operate the other PCUs) if the first print of a job is a black and
white page.
2. The ACS lifts the transfer belt to the upper position and operates the four PCUsif a color page occurs in the job.
3. The ACS keeps the transfer belt inthe upper position and keepsoperating the four PCUs after the firstcolor page. Note that all PCUs are inoperation even when black and whitepages are processed.
The ACS works when the user pushesthe Auto Color Select key from the operation panel. The table lists which PCUs arein operation.

• The hot roller is made of sponge, which flattens slightly, also increasing thefusing nip. This roller does not contain a fusing lamp.
• Each of the heating and pressure rollers has a fusing lamp. – NA: 770W for the heating roller. 350W for the pressure roller – EU: 700W for the heating roller. 325W for the pressure roller
• The heating roller thermistor and pressure roller thermistor control thetemperature of these lamps.
• Temperature is normally controlled by turning the fusing lamps on and off. SP1-104-1 is used to change between on/off control and phase control
• The oil supply roller supplies a small amount of oil to the pressure roller throughthe cleaning roller. Oil does not need to be supplied to the oil supply rollerbecause it contains oil and the amount of oil supplied to the pressure roller is
small.

Temperature Corrections
The following SP modes are available to prevent excessive glossiness caused byfusing temperature overshoot:
• 1-913: Fusing temperature is reduced after this number of pages during the job.
• 1-914: This shows how much the temperature is reduced
If a job using OHP or thick paper starts while the fusing unit is still warm, the fusingtemperature could be higher than the target for this type of paper. This can causemarks to show on the output. The following SP modes prevents this problem:
• 1-996-4, 5: These SPs specify a limit, above which printing will not start.
Overheat Protection
The CPU cuts power to the fusing lamp at the following times:• The heating roller temperature becomes higher than 250°C for two seconds
or more
• The pressure roller temperature becomes higher than 210°C for five secondsor more.
SC543 for the heating roller or SC553 for the pressure roller are displayed forthese conditions.
The following components are used if the thermistor overheat protection systemfails.
• Two thermostats for the heating roller and two thermofuses for the pressure rollerin series with the common ground line of the fusing lamp.
• If one of the thermostat temperatures becomes higher than 234°C, it opensand cuts power from the fusing lamp.
If the other thermostat temperature becomes higher than 235°C, it alsoopens and cuts power from the fusing lamp.
• If either of the two thermofuses temperature becomes higher than 154°C, thethermofuse opens and cuts power from the fusing lamp.NOTE: These thermofuses make a series circuit.
In either case, the machine stops operation.

Panel Off Mode
Entering the panel off mode
The machine enters the panel off mode when one of the following is done:
• The panel off timer runs out.• The Clear Mode/Energy Saver Key is held down for one second.
If the value specified in the panel off timer is larger than the value specified in theenergy saver timer, the machine goes into the low power mode. At this time, it doesnot go into the panel off mode. A similar thing happens when the value in the paneloff timer is larger than that in the auto off timer. To make the panel off modeeffective, specify a value smaller than the values in the energy saver timer andauto off timer.
What happens in panel off mode
When the machine is in the panel off mode, each of the fusing lamps are kept atthe temperatures indicated in the table at the bottom of the page. The operationpanel indicators are turned off except for the Energy Saver LED and the PowerLED.
If the controller receives an image print out command from an application program(e.g. to print incoming fax data or to print data from a PC), the temperature of eachfusing lamp rises to print the data.
Return to stand-by mode
The machine returns to stand-by mode if one of the following is done:
• The Clear Mode/Energy Saver Mode key is pressed
• Any key on the operation panel or touch panel screen is pressed
• An original is placed in the ADF
• The ADF is lifted
• A sheet of paper is placed in the by-pass feed table
The return time from the panel off mode is less than 30 seconds.

Auto Off Mode
There are two Auto Off modes: Off Stand-by mode and Off mode. The differencebetween Off Stand-by mode and Off mode is the machine’s condition when itenters the Auto Off mode.
Entering off stand-by and off modes
The machine enters the Off Stand-by mode or Off Mode when one of the followingis done.
• The auto off timer runs out.
• The operation switch is pressed to turn the power off.
If one or more of the following conditions exists, the machine enters Off Stand-bymode. If none of these conditions exist, the machine enters the Off Mode.
• Error or SC condition
• Image data is stored in the memory• During memory TX or polling RX
• The handset is off hook
• An original is in the ARDF
• The ARDF is open
Off Stand-by mode
The system +5V is still supplied to all components. When the machine detects aringing signal or receives a stream of data for a print job, the +24V supply isactivated. At this time, the machine automatically prints the incoming message or
executes the print job.

Overview
The capacity of the hard disk is 80 GB. The controller partitions it into several
drives and allocates them for different functions. You can initialize these partitionsas necessary ( SP5-832). The table lists the contents of the hard disk.

Volatile: The data is lost when you turn the main switch off.Nonvolatile: The data is not lost when you turn the main switch off.
Data Transfer
The machine executes the direct memory access(DMA) two times faster than the conventional DMA.
The controller has two identical hard disk drives.One HDD interface connects these drives with thememory. There is a 32-bit data bus between thememory and the HDD interface. There is also a16-bit data bus between the HDD interface andeach hard disk drive (two 16-bit data busses intotal).
When receiving 32-bit data from the memory, theHDD interface divides them into two 16-bit dataand transfers them to each hard disk drive. Harddisk drive 1 and 2 store data in an address. Thesetwo addresses correspond with each other. Whenreceiving two 16-bit data from two correspondingaddresses of the hard disk drives, the HDDinterface combines them and transfers 32-bit data to the memory.
If an incorrect sector is found in an address of one hard disk drive, the sector in thecorresponding address of the other hard disk drive is also treated as an incorrectsector.

PS3 Driver
CMS (Color Management System)
CMS optimizes the color print quality using a color profile that is based on the
characteristics of the printer. With RPCS, the color profile is applied by the driver.With PS3 and PCL5e, the color profile is applied in the matching/CRD module onthe controller except when using CMM/ICC/ICM profiles.
CMS is not used when the color profile setting in the printer driver is set to “Off.”
Gray Correction
Gray correction processes gray with the K or CMYK toner depending on the driversettings.
BG/UCR (Black Generation/Under Color Removal)
The RGB data is converted to CMYK data with BG/UCR. During CMYK conversion,some CMY data is replaced with K data by the BG/UCR algorithm.

6.14.5 JOB SPOOLING
Print data can be spooled (stored) in the machine’s HDD, and the machine starts toprint when data transfer is complete. Since the machine stores all data first before
printing, the host computer is freed up more quickly.NOTE: 1) The supported print protocols are IPP and LPR.
2) The default setting for this feature is “off”. The user must switch it onusing UP mode to enable this feature.
• The size of the HDD partition for job spooling is 1 GB.
• The partition can hold up to 150 jobs.
Related SP Modes
Job spooling can be turned on and off using the SP mode (SP5-828-069) for each
protocol.
The machine does not spool jobs when job spooling is switched off with the SPmode, even when the customer switches it on with the user mode.

6.15 FILE FORMAT CONVERTER (MLB)
In previous models (such as A-C2, R-C2), DeskTopBinder V2 could retrieve copyand print jobs from the document server and convert them to TIFF. However, this
software-based conversion was slow for many users.In this machine, this conversion is hardware-based, using the optional File FormatConverter. Without the File Format Converter, copy and print jobs cannot bedownloaded to a PC (or e-Cabinet) from the document server.
Two common target formats are provided for conversion to files that can beselected by the SP modes: These are JPEG and TIFF.
In scanner mode, users can select file format from TIFF, JPEG, or PDF. The timeto create TIFF and JPEG files is shortened with the File Format Converter,especially for high scanning resolution and large image size. When the customerselects PDF, the machine creates a TIFF or JPEG file from the scanned imagefirst. Then it converts it to PDF. Therefore, the total time to create a PDF is alsoshortened with the File Format Converter.

6.16.1 AUTO ERASE MEMORY
A document scanned in the copier or scanner mode, or data sent from a printerdriver for printing, is stored temporarily on the hard disk of the machine. Thedocument stays in the hard disk as temporary data even after the copy or print jobis completed. Auto Erase Memory erases the temporary data on the hard disk bywriting over it.
Types of Data Overwritten and Not Overwritten
The following table shows the types of data that can or cannot be overwritten by Auto Erase Memory.
Copier Copy jobs
Printer 1) Print jobs
2) Sample Print/Locked Print jobs(*1)3) Spool Printing jobs
Scanner(*2) 1) Scanned files sent by e-mail
2) Files sent by Scan to Folder
3) Documents sent or retrieved by using WebImage Monitor, Desk Top Binder, or ScanRouter
Fax PC fax print jobs, Internet fax transmission jobs
Data overwritten by Auto Erase Memory
DocumentServer
Temporary data that still remains in the DocumentServer even after user erases the data in theDocument Server.
Data not overwritten by Auto Erase Memory 1) Documents stored by the user in the Document Server using theCopier, Printer or Scanner functions
2) Information registered in the Address Book (*3)
3) Counters stored under each user code
4) Network setting
NOTE: *1: A Sample Print or Locked Print job can only be overwritten after it hasbeen executed.
*2: Temporary data via TWAIN scanner function are not originally stored inHDD. You can use TWAIN scanner functions together with the DOSunit.
*3: Data stored in the Address Book can be encrypted for security.
Overwrite timing
Overwriting starts automatically once a copy, print or scanner job is completed.Copier, printer and scanner functions take priority over the Data Overwrite function.If a copier, printer or scanner job comes while a previous job is being overwritten,the overwrite process is automatically interrupted until the next job is completed.

PUNCH DRIVE MECHANISM

P u n c h
U n i t
B 3 7 7
When the finisher has received the command that changes the number of punchholes for the job, the punch hole motor [A] turns on until the actuator disk changesthe status of the punch hole switch [B] (until it switches on or off). This indicatesthat the cover [C] and the punch cam [D] have moved to one side or the other todetermine which punchers are used.

PUNCH WASTE COLLECTION
B377 4 SM
2.2 PUNCH WASTE COLLECTION
Waste punchouts are collected in the punch waste hopper [A] below the punch unitinside the finisher.
When the top of the punchout waste in the hopper reaches and actuates thehopper sensor [B], a message will be displayed on the operation panel after thecurrent job is completed.
This sensor also detects whether the punch waste hopper is installed. When thewaste hopper is taken out, the arm [C] moves down and this will actuate the sensorand display a message in the operation panel. This message is the same as for the
hopper full condition.

Stapler junction gate: Directs paper either to the lower exit or to the stapler tray.
Pre-stack tray: When stapling multiple prints (A4 LEF, LT LEF, B5 LEF only) in thestaple mode, the first sheet of the second print waits here for the next sheet to feedwhile the previous stack is stapled. After the second print is fed, the first andsecond sheets are fed together to the pre-stack tray. This delay allows enough timefor the previous stack to be stapled without interrupting paper feed.
Shift trays: Tray 1 (upper) and tray 2 (lower) shift side to side in the sort mode,and raise and lower to receive ejected prints.

Tray 1 (Upper Tray)
In sort/stack mode, tray 1 [A] moves from side to side to separate the printed sets.The tray 1 shift motor [B], inside the shift tray, controls the horizontal position oftray 1 through the timing belt [C] and gear disk [D].
After one print set is delivered to tray 1, the shift motor turns on, driving the geardisk and the arm [E], and the tray drive unit moves to one side.
Two shift sensors [F] detect when to stop this side-to-side movement. There is acut-out in the gear disk. The shift tray moves in one direction until one of the shiftsensors detects the cut-out. Then the shift tray stops.
The next set of prints is then delivered, and the gear disk is turned in the opposite
direction until the other shift sensor is activated.

In sort/stack mode, tray 2 [A] moves from side to side to separate the sets of prints.
The shift mechanism for tray 2 is similar to that used for tray 1. However, when thetray 2 shift motor [B] turns on, the arm [D] moves the entire end fence [C] from sideto side (not just the tray).
After the gear disk has turned 180 degrees, the cut-out in the gear disk enters thetray half-turn sensor [E], and the motor stops. When the next set of prints isdelivered, the motor turns on again, and moves the tray back to its previousposition.

4.5.1 TRAY 1
Introduction
The tray 1 lift motor [A] controls the vertical position of tray 1 [B] through gears andtiming belts [C].
Normal and sort/stack modes
When the main switch is turned on, the tray is initialized at the upper position. Todo this, the tray is moved up until upper stack height sensor 1 [D] is de-actuated.
During printing, if upper stack height sensor 2 [E] is actuated, the tray 1 lift motorlowers the tray for a specified time.
When the tray lowers during printing, the actuator [F] will pass through the tray 1overflow 1 sensor [G]. When the actuator drops below the sensor (to deactivate thesensor), the machine detects that the paper stack height has exceeded theoverflow limit.
The upper limit switch for tray 1 [H] prevents the drive gear from being damaged ifthe upper stack height sensor 1 should fail. If the tray is raised to the traypositioning roller [I], the switch will automatically cut the power to the tray 1 liftmotor.

TRAY UP/DOWN MECHANISMS
B599 20 SM
Staple Mode
In staple mode, stapled stacks can be delivered to either tray, but they can only goto the lower exit. So, if tray 1 is selected, tray 1 [A] moves down to the lower paperexit.
Tray 1 lowers until the actuator [B] enters the tray 1 lower limit sensor [C]. Tray 1then lifts up until lower stack height sensor 1 [D] is activated.
When tray 1 is moved down to the lower exit, tray 2 must be moved down out ofthe way. So, tray 2 [E] is also lowered until the tray 2 shunt position sensor [F]detects tray 2 (or the top of the paper stack in tray 2).
The method of paper height detection is the same as for the upper exit area.
When the tray lowers during printing, the actuator will enter the tray 1 overflow 2sensor [G]. When this happens, the machine detects that the paper stack heighthas exceeded the overflow limit.

Tray 1 release mechanism
When tray 1 is selected for staple mode, tray1 must be moved down to the lower paperexit. However, to move past the sensors atthe lower exit, the tray must be moved awayfrom the finisher.
To do this, the tray 1 shift motor turns untilthe cut-out in the gear disk enters the trayrelease sensor [A]. At this time, the arm [B]has reached position [C], and is pushingagainst the plate [D], in towards the finisher.However, the plate is fixed, so the traymoves out away from the finisher.
Then, the tray 1 shift motor stops, then thetray 1 lift motor lowers tray 1.
When the tray 1 lower limit sensor isactivated (as described on the previouspage), the tray has moved past the sensorsat the lower exit. The tray 1 shift motor turnson again until the gear disk activates thetray shift sensor [E]. This moves the trayback against the finisher.
Next, tray 1 lifts until the finisher detects thatthe tray is at the correct height.
When tray 1 is at the lower exit, the tray locksolenoid [F] is on, and the lever [G] locks thetray. This prevents the user from moving thetray out of position (the first tray has some
play when it is at the lower position).
Before tray 1 goes back to the upper exitarea, the tray lock solenoid [F] turns off tounlock the tray. In addition, the back fencelock clutch [H] turns on to hold the backfence [I]. This prevents the springs insidethe back fence from suddenly contracting(these springs normally keep the tray steadyduring side-to-side shift).
Then, tray 1 is released and it moves up to
the upper exit area.

4.5.2 TRAY 2
The tray 2 lift motor [A] controls the vertical position of tray 2 [B] through gears andtiming belts [C].
The paper height detection is the same as for tray 1.
When the tray lowers during printing, the tray is judged to be overflowing when thetray 2 overflow sensor 1 [D] is off and the tray 2 overflow sensor-2 [F] is on (see‘Normal Mode’ in the above diagram).
In the multi-tray staple mode (selected by the service technician), the machinedetects that the paper stack height has exceeded the overflow limit when theactuator [E] enters the tray 2 overflow 1 sensor [D].
The lower limit sensor [G] for tray 2 detects when tray 2 is at its lowest limit andstops the tray 2 lift motor.
The function of the tray 2 upper limit switch [H] is the same as for tray 1.

4.5.3 PRE-STACK MECHANISM
NOTE: This feature is available only when using A4 L, LT L, and B5 L.
During stapling, the main machine must wait. This mechanism reduces the wait byholding the first two sheets of a job while the previous job is still being stapled. Itonly works during the second and subsequent sets of a multi-set print job.
The pre-stack junction gate solenoid [A] switches on after the first sheet activatesthe entrance sensor. This directs the sheet to the pre-stack tray [B].
The pre-stack feed roller [C] stops for a specified time after the trailing edge of thepaper has passed through the entrance sensor and stops the paper from leavingthe pre-stack tray.
At the same time, the pre-stack junction gate solenoid switches off, and the secondsheet is sent to the paper guide [D]. The pre-stack feed roller (controlled by thepre-stack motor) starts to rotate again for a specified time after the trailing edge ofthe second page has been passed through the entrance sensor, and then bothsheets are sent to the stapler tray together.

B599 24 SM
4.6 JOGGER UNIT PAPER POSITIONING MECHANISM
In staple mode, each sheet of print paper is vertically and horizontally aligned when
it arrives in the stapler tray.
Vertical Paper Alignment
After the trailing edge of the paper passes the stapler tray entrance sensor [A], thepositioning roller solenoid [B] is energized for a specified time to push thepositioning roller [C] into contact with the paper.
The positioning roller rotates to push the paper back and align the trailing edge ofthe paper against the stack stopper [D].
Horizontal Paper Alignment
When the start key is pressed, the jogger motor [E] turns on and the jogger fences[F] move to the waiting position, which is 8 mm wider on both sides than theselected paper.
When the trailing edge of the paper passes the stapler tray entrance sensor, the jogger motor turns on to move the jogger fences 5 mm towards the paper. After ashort time, the jogger motor turns on again for the horizontal paper alignment thenreturns to the waiting position.

4.7 STAPLER MECHANISM
4.7.1 STAPLER MOVEMENT
The stapler can be moved from side to side or rotated according to the
requirements of the selected stapling mode.
Stapler Rotation
After the start key is pressed, the stapler rotation motor [A] rotates the staple unit[B] until the stapler rotation HP sensor [C] is activated. Then, the stapler movesfrom front to rear of the finisher.
When oblique stapling at one position has been selected, after the stapler moves tothe stapling position, the stapler rotation motor rotates the stapler 45 degrees(clockwise) at the stapling position before the stapler fires.
Side-to-Side Movement
The stapler motor [D] moves the stapler from side to side. After the start key ispressed, the stapler moves from its home position to the stapling position.
The amount of movement required to reach the stapling position is determined bythe size of the selected paper. If the two-staple mode is selected, the staplermoves to the front stapling position first, and then moves to the rear staplingposition. However, for the next print set, it staples in the reverse order.
After the stapling job is finished, the stapler returns to its home position,
determined by the stapler HP sensor [E].

STAPLER MECHANISM
B599 26 SM
4.7.2 STAPLER
The staple hammer is driven by the stapler hammer motor [A] inside the stapler.
As soon as the paper stack is aligned, the staple hammer motor starts. Whenstapling is finished, the staple hammer HP sensor [B] is turned on, and the staplehammer motor then stops.
The staple end sensor [C] detects the staple end condition and whether the staple
cartridge is installed or not. If a stapler cassette is not installed, or after the staplercassette runs out of staples, a message is displayed in the operation panel. If thiscondition is detected during a print job, the indicator will appear, but the print jobwill not stop.
The staple position sensor [D] detects if there is a staple sheet at the staplingposition. After a new staple cartridge is installed, the staple hammer motor turns onto transfer the staple sheet until the staple position sensor is activated by the staplesheet.
If a staple jam occurs and overloads the motor, this causes a staple jam messageto appear on the operation panel.

4.7.3 FEED OUT AND TRANSPORT
When stapling starts, the exit guide plate motor [A] switches on and opens the exitguide plate [B], so that the stapled stack can exit to the tray. The exit guide platesensor [C] detects when to switch off the exit guide plate motor.
After the prints have been stapled, the stack feed-out motor [D] starts. The pawl [E]on the stack feed out belt [F] lifts the stapled set and feeds it to the tray [G].
The exit guide plate closes at a specified interval after the stapled prints havestarted to feed out. Then the exit roller takes over the stack feed-out. The stackfeed-out motor turns off when the pawl actuates the stack feed-out belt homeposition sensor [H].
When tray 1 is passing this area on its way back up to the upper exit, the exit guidesafety switch [I] cuts power to the tray lift motor if the guide is opened too far. Thisprevents damage to the user’s fingers if they are inside the lower exit when the trayis moving up.

A certain time after the trailingedge of the paper passes through the finisher entrance sensor [B], the punch motorturns on and the paper stops. Then the punch clutch [C] turns on to make thepunch holes.
The home position is detected by the punch HP sensor [D]. When the cut-out in thepunch shaft disk [E] enters the punch HP sensor, the punch clutch turns off.
When the finisher has received the command that changes the number of punchholes, the punch hole motor [F] turns on until the disk changes the status of thepunch hole switch [G] (until it switches on or off). This indicates that the cover [H]and the punch cam [I] have moved to one side or the other to change the numberof holes.

4.8.2 PUNCH WASTE COLLECTION
Waste punchouts are collected in the punch waste hopper [A] below the punch unitinside the finisher.
When the top of the punchout waste in the hopper reaches and actuates thehopper sensor [B], a message will be displayed on the operation panel after thecurrent job is completed.
This sensor also detects whether the punch waste hopper is installed. When thewaste hopper is taken out, the arm [C] moves down and this will actuate the sensorand display a message in the operation panel. This message is the same as for thehopper full condition.

2.2 PAPER FEED
• This product uses an FRR type paper feed mechanism.
• The paper feed unit consists of the pick-up roller [A], paper feed roller [B],separation roller [C], and relay roller.
• There is a torque limiter (ferrite powder type) in the back of the separation roller.

2.3 SEPARATION ROLLER AND PICK-UP ROLLERRELEASE
To prevent the paper from being torn when pulling out the paper feed tray, theseparation and pickup rollers are set so that they release automatically.
When the paper tray [A] is not inside the machine, the separation roller [B] is awayfrom the paper feed roller [C] and the pick-up roller [D] stays in the upper position.
When the paper tray is set into the machine, it pushes the release lever [E]. Thiscauses the pick-up roller to go down into contact with the top sheet of paper andthe separation roller to move up and contact the paper feed roller.

TRAY LIFT
B600 14 SM
2.4 TRAY LIFT
When the paper feed tray is put in the machine, the tray sensor on the back faceturns on and the tray lift motor [A] starts. The base plate lift shaft [B] is coupled tothe lift motor at shaft [C], so the base plate of the tray is lifted. After a short while,the top of the paper stack contacts the pick-up roller and lifts it up.
When this occurs, the actuator enters the upper limit sensor, the sensor turns offand the lift motor stops. When paper in the tray is used up, the pick-up roller isgradually lowered, and the actuator leaves the upper limit sensor (turning thesensor on). When this happens, the lift motor begins turning again. The tray willthen be lifted until the actuator enters the upper limit sensor (turning the sensor offagain).
When the tray is removed from the printer, the coupling between the lift motor andbase plate lift shaft is broken and the base plate goes into a controlled free fall(using a damper [D] to slow the fall and prevent damage).

2.5 NEAR END/END DETECTION
This tray holds two stacks of paper, so the machine needs to monitor the status ofboth these stacks. There are seven sensors to do this.
In the right tray (paper feed side), three height sensors ([E] in the diagram on theprevious page) measure the height of the stack, and an end sensor detects whenall the paper is used up. As the amount of paper remaining in the tray decreases,the base plate rises and the actuator activates the paper height sensors. Whenpaper runs out in the right tray, the stack in the left tray is moved across to the righttray.
There are also two height sensors ([F] in the diagram on the previous page) and anend sensor in the left tray (paper storage side) ([G] in the diagram on the previouspage). When there is no paper in both trays, paper end is detected.
The machine determines the amount of remaining paper based on the sensoroutputs, as shown in the following table.

PAPER STACK TRANSPORT MECHANISM
B600 16 SM
2.6 PAPER STACK TRANSPORT MECHANISM
When the paper in the right tray is used up, the tray motor [A] and stack transportclutch [B] turn on. Then the rear fence [C] moves the stack of paper from the left
tray to the right tray.While the stack is being moved, it pushes the side fence aside, and the side fenceopen/closed sensor [D] detects that the fence is open.
After the stack has been moved across, a spring in the side fence moves the sidefence back, and the sensor detects that the fence is closed. Then, the tray motorreverses until end fence home position sensor [E] is deactivated.

2.7 RIGHT TRAY PAPER END DETECTION
The paper end sensor [A] detects when copy paper in the right tray runs out.
When there is paper in the tray, the paper pushes up the paper end feeler [B] andcauses the actuator to enter the sensor. When paper runs out, the feeler drops andthe actuator leaves the sensor, and the machine detects that there is no paper inthe tray.
When the tray is being pulled out, the lever [E] lifts the pick-up roller and this alsolifts up the feeler.

3.4 STACK TRAY
3.4.1 SIMPLE OUTPUT
MechanismThe exit roller transports the paper to the stack tray. The rollers and belts on thestack tray transport the paper to the regular tray. The finisher operates like thiseven when it handles one sheet of paper.
Phase 1: The transport motor drives theexit roller [A] to transport the paper to thestack tray.
Phase 2: The paddle motor operates inreverse to lower the stack-tray upperroller [B] onto the paper.
Phase 3: The stack-tray exit motordrives the stack-tray upper roller [B], thestack-tray lower roller [E], and the stack-tray belts [C] to transport the paper to theregular tray.
Stack-Tray Belt
The stack tray has two stack-tray belts. Each stack-tray belt has a paper support[D] on its surface. As stack-tray exit motor rotates the stack-tray belts
counterclockwise (viewed from the machine front), the paper supports movescounterclockwise. While moving, these paper supports transport the paper from thestack tray to the regular tray.
For the home position of the stack-tray belt, see “Stack-Tray Belt Home Position” insection 3.4.5.

Stack-Tray Guide Mechanism
The paddle motor [A] drives the stack-tray guide. The stack-tray guide stays awayfrom the paper (the upper position [B]) under either of the following conditions:
• When the exit roller transports the paper to the stack tray
• When the jogger fences adjust the direction of the paper
The paddle motor drives the stack-tray guide onto the paper (the lower position [C])under either of the following conditions:
• When the stapler operates
• When the stack-tray upper roller, stack-tray lower roller, and stack-tray belttransport the paper

Stack-Tray Guide Mechanism
The paddle motor [A] moves the timingbelts [B][G], which drive the cam [D]. Thecam pushes up the first lever [C], whichpushes down the second lever [H]. Thesecond lever lowers the stack-tray guide[I].
Home Position
The actuator [F] moves with the cam [D].The actuator interrupts the home positionsensor [E] while the cam does not pushthe first lever [C] (in other words, while the
stack-tray guide is in its upper position).
Stapler Switch
The second lever [H] moves with thestapler-switch actuator [J]. When the firstlever pushes the second lever (in otherwords, when the stack tray guide is in itslower position), the actuator pushes thestapler switch [K], turning it on. The staplercan operate only when this switch is on.
Safety Feature
The stapler switch, along with the stack-tray guide mechanism, works as a safetyfeature. The stapler operates only when the stack-tray guide is in the lower position.When the stack-tray guide is in this position, the user cannot access the staplerthrough the opening between the stack-tray guide and the stack tray. Therefore,staples do not injure the user.

3.4.4 JOGGER FENCE
Action
There are two jogger fences: the front fence [A] and the rear fence [B]. These two jogger fences adjust the position of the paper [C] on the stack tray.
Drive
The front-jogger-fence motor [D] and the rear-jogger-fence motor [E] drive the jogger fences.
Home Position
There are two home position sensors: the front-fence home-position sensor [F] andthe rear-fence home-position sensor [G]. Each jogger fence is linked to an actuator[H][I]. When the main switch is turned on, the front and rear fence motors drive the
jogger fences until each home position sensor detected its actuator.

3.4.5 PAPER OUTPUT
Mechanism
The paper in the stack tray is transported to the regular tray as follows:
1. The paddle motor [A] moves the stack-tray guide to its lower position [G].
2. The stack-tray exit motor [B] drives the stack-tray upper roller [F], the stack-traylower roller [H], and the stack-tray belt [I]. The stack-tray belt has a pair of
paper supports [K] that push the paper [C] (!
3.4.1).3. When the paper supports have left the home position, the controller starts to
count the pulses of the stack-tray exit motor.
4. When the pulse count reaches the predefined number (not adjustable), thepaddle motor moves the stack-tray guide to its upper position [J].
5. The paper supports keep pushing the paper to the regular tray [D].
Stack-Tray Belt Home Position
When the stack-tray belt is at its home position, one of the paper supports [K]
pushes the actuator of the home position sensor [E].

3.5.3 POSITIONING
Action and Drive
There is one stapler [A] in the finisher. The stapler is on six rails [C][D][E][I]. The
rail [C], rail [D], rail [I], and rail [J] transmit the drive power:
• The rail [C] and rail [I] transmit the drive power of the stapler/folder motor.The stapler uses this power to staple the paper (! 3.5.2).
• The rails [D] and [J] transmit the drive power of the staple slide motor [H].This drive power moves the stapler to the front or rear.
In the diagram above, [B] is the paper stack on the stack tray.
Home Position and Ready Position
The home position sensor [G] is at the bottom of the stapler; the sensor blade [F] ison the frame of the unit. The controller references the home position sensor to setthe stapler in its ready position. Note that the stapler is not in the home positionwhen it is ready. The controller sets the stapler in the ready position as follows:
1. You turn the main switch on (or you close the front door of the finisher).
2. The slide motor drives the stapler from the rear side to the front side.
3. The home position sensor detects the sensor blade. The slide motor stops.
4. The slide motor starts in reverse to drive the stapler to the rear side. Thecontroller starts to count the pulses of the motor.
5. When the pulse count reaches a predefined number (not adjustable), the
controller stops the slide motor. The stapler is in its ready position.

Action and Drive
The lift motor [I] drives the regular tray to adjust its height.
Ready Position
Before the stack-tray rollers and belts transport the paper to the regular tray, the liftmotor sets the regular tray in the ready position:
1. The lift motor lowers the regular tray. The controller references the lift motorencoder sensor [D] to count how many turns the motor makes.
2. When the number of turns reaches a predefined number (not adjustable), thecontroller stops the lift motor.
3. The lift motor operates in reverse, lifting the regular tray.

Paper Sensor
As illustrated in the previous paragraph (! Ready Position), the paper heightsensor [F] can detect either the tray edge or the paper stack. Therefore, the signalsfrom the paper height sensor are not enough to let the controller know if any paperis on the tray.
To find the paper on the regular tray, the controller references the paper sensor [E].This sensor detects the paper but does not detect the tray.
Paper Full
While the stack-tray rollers and belts continue to transport the paper to the regulartray, the ready position becomes lower (! Ready Position). When the number ofpaper reaches about 500 sheets, the paper full sensor [B] is interrupted by itsactuator. When the number of paper reaches about 1,000 sheets, the lower limitsensor [C] is interrupted by its actuator. To decide the paper-full status, thecontroller considers these sensor signals and the paper sizes. The table lists thepaper sizes and the numbers of paper in the paper-full status.
Paper Size Number of Paper
A3, B4, DLT, LG About 500 sheets
Smaller sizes About 1,000 sheets
Fail Safe Feature
When the regular tray reaches its uppermost position, the upper limit sensor [A]detects it. The finisher stops its operation.
The regular tray does not reach this position in normal operations. The upper limitsensor works as a failsafe feature. If the regular tray fails to actuate the paperheight sensor [F] because of some hardware error, this failsafe feature works.

3.7.2 STACK TRAY
The stack tray operates as follows:
1. The stack-tray stopper aligns the rightedges of the paper in the stack tray (! “Stack-Tray Stopper” in 3.4.1).
2. The jogger fences adjust the position ofthe paper (! 3.4.4).
3. When a specified number of paper [A] isstacked, the paddle motor operates inreverse to lower the stack-tray guide andthe stack-tray upper roller [B] onto thepaper.
4. The stack-tray exit motor drives thestack-tray upper roller and lower roller totransport the paper to the stapler unit.
5. The booklet clutch [D] turns on. Thisclutch transmits the driver power of the
transport motor to the stack-traytransport roller [C].
3.7.3 STAPLER
The stapler waits for the paper in the ready position, and operates when the paperis set to the stapler positions (! 3.5.3). When the finisher is processing one sheetof paper, the stapler does not staple the paper.

3.3 FAX SC CODES
3.3.1 OVERVIEW
When the FCU detects a Fax SC Code condition, it resets itself automatically(default setting). This initializes the FCU without erasing files in the SAF memory orresetting the switches.
For details on Fax SC Codes 1201, refer to the following sections.
If bit 7 of System Switch 1F is changed to “1”, when the FCU detects a Fax SCCode condition, it displays the code on the display and stops working until the faxunit is initialized using one of the following methods:
Hold down the “7” and “9” keys for more than10 s.
Turn off the main power switch and turn itback on.
3.3.2 SC1201
When the FCU detects an unrecoverable error in the SRAM, which requires acomplete SRAM initialization, the fax unit displays this SC Code and stops.There is no way to recover from this error condition without a complete SRAMinitialization (all the user and service programmed data will be erased).
The possible causes are:
• SRAM backup battery defect, or SW1 on the MBU is at the “OFF” position.• The SRAM on the MBU has a physical defect.• SD card connection was loose.

2 Rx level calculation
Example: 0000 32 V34 288/264 L 01 00 03 04
The four-digit hexadecimal value (N) after “L” indicates the rx level.The high byte is given first, followed by the low byte. Divide the decimal value of N by -16 to get the rx level.
In the above example, the decimal value of N (= 0100 [H]) is 256.So, the actual rx level is 256/-16 = -16 dB

3. Pulse dial parameters (addresses 68054A to 68054F) are the values for 10pps. If 20 pps is used, the machine automatically compensates.
4. The first ring may not be detected until 1 to 2.5 wavelengths after the timespecified by this parameter.
5. The calculated level must be between 0 and 10.The attenuation levels calculated from RAM data are:High frequency tone: – 0.5 x N680552/680554 –3.5 dBm
– 0.5 x N680555 dBmLow frequency tone: – 0.5 x (N680552/680554 + N680553) –3.5 dBm – 0.5 x (N680555 + N680553) dBm
NOTE: N680552, for example, means the value stored in address 680552(H)
6. 68054A: Europe - Between Ds opening and Di opening, France - Between Dsclosing and Di opening68054D: Europe - Between Ds closing and Di closing, France - Between Dsopening and Di closing
7. Tone signals which frequency is lower than 1500Hz (e.g., 800Hz tone for AIshort protocol) refer to the setting at 6805B5h. Tones which frequency is higher
than 1500Hz refer to the setting at 6805B6h.8. 68054A, 68054D, 68054E: The actual inter-digit pause (pulse dial mode) is the
sum of the period specified by the RAM addresses 68054A, 68054D, and68054E.

OVERVIEW
B712 112 SM
5. DETAILED SECTION DESCRIPTIONS
5.1 OVERVIEW
The basic fax unit consists of two PCBs: an FCU and an MBU.
The FCU controls all the fax communications and fax features, in cooperation withthe controller board. The MBU contains the ROM and SRAM. Also, the FCU has anNCU circuit.
Fax Options:
1. Extra G3 Interface option: This provides one more analog line interface. Thisallows full dual access. Two extra G3 interface options can be installed.
2. Memory Expansion: This expands the SAF memory and the page memory(used for image rotation); without this expansion, the page memory is not bigenough for image rotation at 400 dpi, so transmission at 400 dpi is not possible.

Memory Transmission and Parallel Memory Transmission
The base copier's scanner scans the original at the selected resolution in inchformat. The IPU processes the data and transfers it to the FCU.
NOTE: When scanning a fax original, the IPU uses the MTF, independent doterase and thresholding parameter settings programmed in the fax unit’sscanner bit switches, not the copier's SP modes.
Then, the FCU converts the data to mm format, and compresses the data in MMRor raw format to store it in the SAF memory. If image rotation will be done, theimage is rotated in page memory before compression.
At the time of transmission, the FCU decompresses the stored data, then re-compresses and/or reduces the data if necessary for transmission. The NCUtransmits the data to the line.
Immediate TransmissionThe base copier's scanner scans the original at the resolution agreed with thereceiving terminal. The IPU video processes the data and transfers it to the FCU.
NOTE: When scanning a fax original, the IPU uses the MTF, independent doterase and thresholding parameter settings programmed in the fax unit’sscanner bit switches, not the copier's SP modes.
Then the FCU stores the data in page memory, and compresses the data fortransmission. The NCU transmits the data to the line.
JBIG Transmission
• Memory transmission: If the receiver has JBIG compression, the data goesfrom the DCR to the QM-Coder. Then the NCU transmits the data to the line.When an optional G3 unit (SG3) is installed and PSTN2 is selected as the linetype, JBIG compression is available, but only for the PSTN-2 line.
• Immediate transmission: If the receiver has JBIG compression, the data goesfrom the page memory to the QM-Coder. Then the NCU transmits the data to theline.

5.3.2 RECEPTION
First, the FCU stores the incoming data from either an analog line to the SAFmemory. (The data goes to the FACE3 at the same time, and is checked for errorlines/frames.)
The FCU then decompresses the data and transfers it to page memory. If imagerotation will be done, the image is rotated in the page memory. The data is
transferred to the IPU.If the optional G3 unit is installed, the line that the message comes in on dependson the telephone number dialed by the other party (the optional G3 unit has adifferent telephone number from the main fax board).
JBIG Reception
When data compressed with JBIG comes in on PSTN-1 (the standard analog line),the data is sent to the QM-CODER for decompression. Then the data is stored inthe page memory, and transferred to the IPU.
When data compressed with JBIG comes in on PSTN-2 (optional extra analog
line), the data is sent to the QM-CODER on the SG3 board for decompression.

5.4.2 DOCUMENT SERVER
The base copier's scanner scans the original at the selected resolution. The IPUvideo processes the data and transfers it to the controller board.
Then the controller stores the data in the page memory for the copier function, andcompresses the data in MMR (by software) to store it in the HDD. If image rotationwill be done, the image is rotated in the page memory before compression.
For transmission, the stored image data is transferred to the FCU. The FCUdecompresses the image data, then recompresses and/or reduces the data ifnecessary for transmission. the NCU transmits the data to the line.
The documents can be stored in the HDD (Document Server) from the faxapplication. The stored documents in the document sever can be used for the faxtransmission in many times. More than one document and the scanned documentcan be combined into one file and then the file can be transmitted.
• When using the document server, the SAF memory is not used.
• The document is compressed with MMR and stored.
• Up to 9,000 pages can be stored. (1 file: Up to 1,000 pages) from the fax
application.• Only stored documents from the fax application can be transmitted.
• Scanned documents are given a name automatically, such as “FAX001”. But it ispossible to change the file name, user name and password.
• Up to 30 files can be selected at once.
NOTE: 1) The compression method of the fax application is different from the copyapplication. The storing time is longer than the copier storing.
2) When selecting “Print 1st page”, the stored document will be reduced to A4 size.

Mail Reception
This machine supports three types of e-mail reception:
• POP3 (Post Office Protocol Ver. 3.)
•
IMAP4 (Internet Messaging Access Protocol)• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
For details: Core Technology Manual – Facsimile Processes – Faxing from a PC –Internet/LAN Fax Boards – Mail Reception
POP3/IMAP4 Mail Reception Procedure
The machine automatically picks up e-mail from the server at an interval which isadjustable in the range 2 to 1440 min. in 1-minute steps:User Tools> System Settings> File Transfer> E-mail Reception Interval
SMTP Reception• The IFAX must be registered as an SMTP server in the MX record of the DNS
server, and the address of the received mail must specify the IFAX.
• Enable SMTP reception:
User Tools> System Settings> File Transfer> Reception Protocol
Even if the MX record on the DNS server includes the IFAX, mail cannot bereceived with SMTP until SMTP reception is enabled:
However, if SMTP reception is selected and the machine is not registered in theMX record of the DNS server, then either IMAP4 or POP3 is used, depending on
the setting:User Tools> System Settings> File Transfer> Reception Protocol
Mail Delivery Conditions: Transferring Mail Received With SMTP
1) The machine must be set up for SMTP mail delivery:
User Tools> Facsimile Features> E-mail Settings> SMTP RX File DeliverySettings
2) If the user wishes to limit this feature so that the machine will only delivermail from designated senders, the machine’s “Auth. E-mail RX” feature mustbe set (User Tools> Facsimile Features> E-mail Settings> SMTP RX FileDelivery Settings).
3) If the “SMTP RX File Delivery Setting” is set to 0 to prohibit SMTP receiving, and if there is mail designated for delivery, then the machine responds withan error. (User Tools> Facsimile Features> E-mail Settings> SMTP RX FileDelivery Settings)
4) If the quick dial, speed dial, or group dial entry is incorrect, the mailtransmission is lost, and the IFAX issues an error to the SMTP server andoutputs an error report.

Auth. E-mail RX
In order to limit access to mail delivery with IFAX, the addresses of senders mustbe limited using the Access Limit Entry. Only one entry can be registered.
1) Access Limit EntryFor example, to limit access to @IFAX.ricoh.co.jp:
[email protected] Matches and is delivered.
[email protected] Does not match and is not delivered.
[email protected] Does not match and is not delivered.
2) Conditions
• The length of the Access Limit Entry is limited to 127 characters.
• If the Access Limit Entry address and the mail address of the incoming
mail do not match, the incoming mail is discarded and not delivered, andthe SMTP server responds with an error. However, in this case an errorreport is not output.
• If the Access Limit Entry address is not registered, and if the incomingmail specifies a delivery destination, then the mail is deliveredunconditionally.

Handling Mail Reception Errors
Abnormal files
When an error of this type occurs, the machine stops receiving and commands the
server to erase the message. Then the machine prints an error report and sendsinformation about the error by e-mail to the sender address (specified in the “From”or “Reply-to” field of the message). If there is an incomplete received message inthe machine memory, it will be erased.
The machine prints an error message when it fails to send the receive errornotification after a certain number of attempts.
The following types of files are judged to be abnormal if one or more of thefollowing are detected:
1. Unsupported MIME headers.
Supported types of MIME headerHeader Supported Types
Content-Type Multipart/mixed, text/plain, message/rfc822 Image/tiff
Charset US-ASCII, ISO 8859 X. Other types cannot be handled,and some garbage may appear in the data.
Content-Transfer-Encoding Base 64, 7-bit, 8-bit, Quoted Printable
2. MIME decoding errors
3. File format not recognized as TIFF-F format
4. Resolution, document size, or compression type cannot be accepted
Remaining SAF capacity error
The machine calls the server but does not receive e-mail if the remaining SAFcapacity is less than a certain value (the value depends on IFAX Switch 08. The e-mail will be received when the SAF capacity increases (for example, aftersubstitute reception files have been printed). The error handling method for thistype of error is the same as for “Abnormal files”.
If the capacity of the SAF memory drops to zero during reception, the machineoperates in the same way as when receiving an abnormal file (refer to “Abnormalfiles” above).
Secure Internet Reception

Message Disposition Notification (MDN)
For details: Core Technology Manual – Facsimile Processes – Faxing from a PC –Internet/LAN Fax Boards – E-mail Options
The network system administrator can confirm whether a sent mail has beenreceived correctly or not. This confirmation is done in four steps.
1. Send request for confirmation of mail reception. To enable or disable thisrequest (known as MDN):
Sub TX Mode> E-mail Options
2. Mail reception (receive confirmation request)3. Send confirmation of mail reception4. Receive confirmation of mail reception
The other party’s machine will not respond to the request unless the two conditionsbelow are met:
• The other party’s machine must be set up to respond to the confirmation request.• The other party’s machine must support MDN (Message Disposition Notification).
- Setting up the Receiving Party -
The receiving party will respond to the confirmation request if:
1) The “Disposition Notification To” field is in the received mail header(automatically inserted in the 4th line in the upper table on the previous page,if MDN is enabled), and
2) Sending the disposition notification must be enabled (User ParameterSetting SW21 (15 [H]) Bit 1 for this model). The content of the response isas follows:
Normal reception: “Return Receipt (dispatched)” in the Subject line
IFAX SW02 (Bit 2, 3) “Return Receipt (displayed)” in the Subject line
Error: “Return Receipt (processed/error)” in the Subject line

Handling Reports
1. Sending a Request for a Return Receipt by Mail
After the mail sender transmits a request for a return receipt, the mail sender’s
journal is annotated with two hyphens (--) in the Result column and a “Q” in theMode column.
2. Mail Receipt (Request for Receipt Confirmation) and Sending Mail ReceiptResponse
After the mail receiver sends a response to the request for a return receipt, themail receiver’s journal is annotated with two hyphens (--) in the Result columnand an “A” in the Mode column.
3. Receiving the Return Receipt Mail
• After the mail sender receives a return receipt, the information in the mail
sender’s journal about the receipt request is replaced, i.e. the journal isannotated with “OK” in the Result column.
• When the return receipt reports an error, the journal is annotated with an “E”in the Result column.
• The arrival of the return receipt is not recorded in the journal as a separatecommunication. Its arrival is only reported by the presence of “OK” or “E” inthe Result column.
• If the mail address used by the sender specifies a mailing list (i.e., a Groupdestination; the machine sends the mail to more than one location. See “Howto set up Mail Delivery”), the Result column of the Journal is updated everytime a return receipt is received. For example, if the mailing list was to 5
destinations, the Result column indicates the result of the communicationwith the 5
th destination only. The results of the communications to the first 4
destinations are not shown.Exceptions:If one of the communications had an error, the Result column will indicate E,even if subsequent communications were OK.If two of the communications had an error, the Journal will indicate thedestination for the first error only.
