Important Safety Notices
Responsibilities of the Customer Engineer
Customer Engineer
Maintenance shall be done only by trained customer engineers who have completed service training for
the machine and all optional devices designed for use with the machine.
• Maintenance shall be done using the special tools and procedures prescribed for maintenance of
the machine described in the reference materials (service manuals, technical bulletins, operating
instructions, and safety guidelines for customer engineers).
• In regard to other safety issues not described in this document, all customer engineers shall strictly
obey procedures and recommendations described the "CE Safety Guide".
• Use only consumable supplies and replacement parts designed for use of the machine.
• Work carefully when lifting or moving the machine. If the machine is heavy, two or more customer
engineers may be required to prevent injuries (muscle strains, spinal injuries, etc.) or damage to the
machine if it is dropped or tipped over.
• Personnel moving or working around the machine should always wear proper clothing and
footwear. Never wear loose fitting clothing or accessories (neckties, loose sweaters, bracelets,
etc.) or casual footwear (slippers, sandals, etc.) when lifting or moving the machine.
• Always unplug the power cord from the power source before you move the product. Before you
move the product, arrange the power cord so it will not fall under the product.
Power
• Always disconnect the power plug before doing any maintenance procedure. After switching off
the machine, power is still supplied to the main machine and other devices. To prevent electrical
1
shock, switch the machine off, wait for a few seconds, then unplug the machine from the power
source.
• Before you do any checks or adjustments after turning the machine off, work carefully to avoid
injury. After removing covers or opening the machine to do checks or adjustments, never touch
electrical components or moving parts (gears, timing belts, etc.).
• After turning the machine on with any cover removed, keep your hands away from electrical
components and moving parts. Never touch the cover of the fusing unit, gears, timing belts, etc.
• After installation, maintenance, or adjustment, always check the operation of the machine to make
sure that it is operating normally. This ensures that all shipping materials, protective materials, wires
and tags, metal brackets, etc., removed for installation, have been removed and that no tools
remain inside the machine. This also ensures that all release interlock switches have been restored
to normal operation.
• Never use your fingers to check moving parts causing spurious noise. Never use your fingers to
lubricate moving parts while the machine is operating.
Special Tools
During Maintenance
General
2
Safety Devices
• Never remove any safety device unless it requires replacement. Always replace safety devices
immediately.
• Never do any procedure that defeats the function of any safety device. Modification or removal of
a safety device (fuse, switch, etc.) could lead to a fire and personal injury. Always test the
operation of the machine to ensure that it is operating normally and safely after removal and
replacement of any safety device.
• For replacements use only the correct fuses or circuit breakers rated for use with the machine. Using
replacement devices not designed for use with the machine could lead to a fire and personal
injuries.
Organic Cleaners
• During preventive maintenance, never use any organic cleaners (alcohol, etc.) other than those
described in the service manual.
• Make sure the room is well ventilated before using any organic cleaner. Use organic solvents in
small amounts to avoid breathing the fumes and becoming nauseous.
• Switch the machine off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before doing preventive maintenance. To
avoid fire or explosion, never use an organic cleaner near any part that generates heat.
• Wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning parts with an organic cleaner to contamination of
food, drinks, etc. which could cause illness.
• Clean the floor completely after accidental spillage of silicone oil or other materials to prevent
slippery surfaces that could cause accidents leading to hand or leg injuries. Use dry rags to soak
up spills.
• Before serving the machine (especially when responding to a service call), always make sure that
the power plug has been inserted completely into the power source. A partially inserted plug could
lead to heat generation (due to a power surge caused by high resistance) and cause a fire or other
problems.
• Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint. Clean it if necessary. A
dirty plug can generate heat which could cause a fire.
3
• Inspect the length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. Replace the power cord if
necessary. A frayed or otherwise damaged power cord can cause a short circuit which could lead
to a fire or personal injury from electrical shock.
• Check the length of the power cord between the machine and power supply. Make sure the power
cord is not coiled or wrapped around any object such as a table leg. Coiling the power cord can
cause excessive heat to build up and could cause a fire.
• Make sure that the area around the power source is free of obstacles so the power cord can be
removed quickly in case of an emergency.
• Make sure that the power cord is grounded (earthed) at the power source with the ground wire on
the plug.
• Connect the power cord directly into the power source. Never use an extension cord.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the power source, always pull on the plug, not the
cable.
At the end of installation or a service call, instruct the user about use of the machine. Emphasize the
following points.
• Show operators how to remove jammed paper and troubleshoot other minor problems by
following the procedures described in the operating instructions.
• Point out the parts inside the machine that they should never touch or attempt to remove.
• Confirm that operators know how to store and dispose of consumables.
• Make sure that all operators have access to an operating instruction manual for the machine.
• Confirm that operators have read and understand all the safety instructions described in the
operating instructions.
• Demonstrate how to turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the
cord) if any of the following events occur: 1) something has spilled into the product, 2) service or
repair of the product is necessary, 3) the product cover has been damaged.
• Caution operators about removing paper fasteners around the machine. They should never allow
paper clips, staples, or any other small metallic objects to fall into the machine.

Safety Instructions for this Machine
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the machine and peripherals, make sure that the
machine and peripheral power cords are unplugged.
2. The plug should be near the machine and easily accessible.
3. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open while the
main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically driven components.
4. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while the machine is
operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with your bare hands.
5. To prevent a fire or explosion, keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and
aerosols.
If you get ink in your eyes by accident, try to remove it with eye drops or flush with water as first aid. If
unsuccessful, get medical attention.
If you ingest ink by accident, induce vomiting by sticking a finger down your throat or by giving soapy
or strong salty water to drink.
• The machine and its peripherals must be installed and maintained by a customer service
representative who has completed the training course on those models.
• The anti-tip components are necessary for meeting the requirements of IEC60950-1, the
international standard for safety.
• The aim of these components is to prevent the products, which are heavy in weight, from toppling
as a result of people running into or leaning on the products, which can lead to serious accidents
such as persons becoming trapped under the product. (U.S.: UL60950-1, Europe: EN60950-1)

Firmware Update
To update the firmware for the machine, you must have the new version of the firmware.
There are three types of firmware: Main, ADF and controller (FV-Lt).
Type of Firmware
There are two types of main firmware. One type is for A3 models, and the other is for B4 models.
Download the firmware that corresponds to the model you are using.
An SD card is a precision device. Always observe the following precautions when you handle SD cards:
• Always switch the machine off before you insert an SD card. Never insert the SD card into the slot
with the power on.
• Do not remove the SD card from the slot after the power has been switched on.
• Never switch the machine off while the firmware is downloading from the SD card.
• Keep SD cards in a safe location where they are not exposed to high temperature, high humidity,
or exposure to direct sunlight.
• Always handle SD cards with care. Do not bend or scratch them. Do not let the SD card get
exposed to shock or vibration.
• Make sure that the write protection of an SD card is unlocked when you download an application
to it.
Keep the following points in mind when you use the firmware update software:
• “Download” means to send data from the SD card to the machine.
155
6. Troubleshooting
• Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the network to prevent a print job for arriving
while the firmware update is in progress before you start the firmware update procedure.
1. Create a folder named “romdata” on the SD card (this step is only necessary when the SD
card is used for the first time).
2. Create one of the following folders inside the “romdata” folder. Make sure to create the
correct folder for the model you are using.
Main or ADF
• A3 model: “C279” folder
• B4 model: “C277” folder
Controller(FV-Lt)
• “C654” folder
• The SD card can be shared with other files (firmware for other duplicators, MFPs, etc.).
• The speed of displaying the right firmware on the operation panel will slow down if there are
many files in the SD card.
3. Store the firmware in the “C279” ,“C277”,or “C654” folder.
File storage location
• Do not remove the SD card from the PC until after all data is transferred (at this time, the PC
says that it is safe to remove the card).
156
Firmware Update
5. Compare the size of the file on the PC and the file on the SD card. If the sizes are different,
the data was not transferred completely.
• Do not take out the SD card until after you turn off the PC or disconnect the USB Reader/
Writer.
1. Before downloading new firmware, check the firmware version number(Main) with
SP1-70 or file suffix number (ADF) with SP 1-78 ( Appendices - Main SP Tables).
2. Prepare an SD card with the latest firmware.
3. Turn off the main switch and disconnect the power cord.
157
6. Troubleshooting
11. After downloading the firmware, turn on the main power and enter SP mode to confirm
that the download is complete.
1. Before downloading new firmware, check the firmware version number with SP9-5 (
Appendices - Main SP Tables).
2. Turn off the main switch.
158
Firmware Update
On the left [B], you can see the firmware version that is now in the machine.
On the right [C], you can see the firmware version on the SD card.
More than one version can be stored on the card. Use the Image Chg button “ ” to select the
version that you want to download.
After selecting, push the ‘#’ button to start downloading.
7. Turn off the main switch after the operation panel changes from “Executing” to
“Completed”.
8. Take out the SD card if you finished downloading.
159
6. Troubleshooting
9. After downloading the firmware, turn on the main power and enter SP mode to confirm
that the download is complete.
• Do not insert or extract the SD card when the machine power is on.
• Do not shut off the power when the firmware is downloading.

Energy Save
Customers should use energy saver modes properly, to save energy and protect the environment.
The area shaded grey in this diagram represents the amount of energy that is saved when the timers are
at the default settings. If the timers are changed, then the energy saved will be different. For example, if
the timers are all set to 120 min., the grey area will disappear, and no energy is saved before 120 min.
expires.
Timer Settings
The user can set these timers with User Tools (System settings)
• Energy saver timer (1 – 120 min): Low Power Mode. Default setting: 1 minute
• Auto off timer (1 – 120 min): Off
Default settings:
C279 1min.
• The energy saver timer and the auto off timer cannot be used at the same time. Only one is
available.
Recommendation
171
7. Energy Saving
• If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please explain that their energy
costs could increase, and that they should consider the effects on the environment of extra energy
use.
• If it is necessary to change the settings, please try to make sure that the Auto Off timer is not too
long. Try with a shorter setting first, such as 30 min., then go to a longer one (such as 60 min.) if the
customer is not satisfied.
• If the timers are all set to the maximum value, the machine will not begin saving energy until 120
minutes has expired after the last job. This means that after the customer has finished using the
machine for the day, energy will be consumed that could otherwise be saved.

This function wraps a blank master around the drum. The ink on the drum may dry up at the
following times:
• The machine is not used for a long time.
• The customer changes to a color drum that has not been used recently.
This might affect the print quality (Poor image: ghost image of the previous print).
Wrap a blank master around the drum after you print, to prevent ghost images of previous
prints when the machine is not used for a long time.
1. Access SP2-100 (Make master without printing). Then press "OK".

This function cancels "Security Mode" when the engineer repairs/inspects the machine.
The technician must cancel security mode in order to take out the drum.
It is not necessary to cancel security mode in order to make prints; put an original on the
exposure glass and make a new master. But if the customer does not want you to waste a
master, and is not concerned about security for the master on the drum, then you can cancel
security mode and make prints with the master that is on the drum.
When this SP8-18 is "ON", security mode is cancelled and the drum rotates to the home
position. You can pull the drum unit out of the machine. At this time, the display on the
8-18
operation panel is reversed (see the illustration below).
"Security Mode" is used to prevent others from accessing the master on the drum and
making prints of confidential documents.
When you set "Security Mode":
• You cannot press the "Proof" key or the "Start" key while the previous master is on the
drum.
• You cannot pull out the drum unit when the machine is in standby mode.
• Printing will not start until you set a new original and press the "Start" key.
• You cannot clear "Security Mode" by turning off the main switch.

In normal operation, an image that is sent from the computer is printed out. But with this SP
mode, the
image is changed to hex data and then output on paper or to an SD card.
There are three settings:
• O: Normal (Default setting)
• 1: Hex Dump
• 2: SD card
Hex Dump
The image is changed to hex data, and the hex data is printed out on paper.
This mode continues until main power is shut off.
In some cases, there will be a large quantity of data, and many masters will be
consumed to print out the hex dump. Be careful when you use this mode.
SD Card
The image is changed to hex data, and the hex data is transferred to an SD card.
Procedure:
1. Turn off the main switch.
2. Put the SD card in the SD card slot.
3. Turn on the main switch.
4. Set SP 9-1 to "1: SD card" and get out from the SP mode.
5. Send the data from the computer
6. The 'data in' LED on the machine blinks during the data transfer, and the LED turns
off when the data transfer is finished (the transfer takes a few seconds).
7. Set SP 9-1 to "0: Normal".
8. Turn off the main switch.
9. Remove the SD card from the machine.
Do not take out the SD card before you turn off the main switch and set the SP Mode to
"Normal".
