Introduction

The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:


1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer-
ence to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol , the arrow indicates the
direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the delivery unit door, which results in
supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value,
however, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors
used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.

The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other purposes, and major changes will be com-
municated in the form of Service Information bulletins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be
able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

When multiple users use the machine, it is necessary to advise each user to set the system management information.
Setting ID and password of system administrator on the operation unit under (Additional functions key) > [System management setting] > [Setting of system ad-
ministrator's information] has an effect of restraining the third person from falsifying information, for the ID and password are required when a user carries out an
important setting of the machine.
Under the environment that the setting is not done, if a user who does not sufficiently know operation situation of the machine tries to change the setting, following
troubles may occur.
- When the user changes [User ID Management] from [off] to [on], copying operation cannot be done unless ID and password are input.
- When each setting is changed on the network from RUI, that enables to falsify data of address book or delete log.
- When TCP/IP fixed address is changed on the network setting, printing operation via network cannot be done until the port setting is changed.
- When usage restriction of USB device is changed to [on], printing operation via USB becomes disabled.

1.2.5.4 Safety of Toner


0018-1174

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The machine's toner is a non-toxic material made of plastic, iron, and small amounts of dye.

Do not throw toner into fire. It may cause explosion.

Toner on Clothing or Skin


1. If your clothing or skin has come into contact with toner, wipe it off with tissue; then, wash it off with water.
2. Do not use warm water, which will cause the toner to jell and fuse permanently with the fibers of the cloth.
3. Do not bring toner into contact with plastic material. It tends to react easily.

In identifying the original size, the data obtained in the original size identification process 1 is compared with the data obtained in the original size identification
process 2 to check whether these two pieces of data are identical.
Note that a wrong original size may be identified because the sensor output level does not change in the following cases:
- When the original is A3-sized black
- When the original is a book (its thickness does not allow the copyboard cover to close fully, making it difficult to detect the sensor level change).
- When the copyboard cover is not closed fully (the sensor level change is not detected after lapse of the above time-out time)

[Description of Control]
- At job end (Dust detection)
The contact image sensor (CIS) checks the light reflected by the ADF platen roller surface at the read position for presence/absence of dust. After completion of a
job, dust detection is performed maximum six times in 3 point of A, B and C. First, dust detection is performed once at position A. If no dust is detected at position
A, dust detection is performed twice there. If no dust is detected, the original is scanned at position A. If dust is detected at position A, move to position B and dust
detection is performed twice at position B. If no dust is detected at position B, the original is scanned at position B. If dust is also detected at position B, move to
position C and dust detection is performed once at position C. If dust is also detected at position C, a relevant message is displayed on the operation panel. In this
case, move back to position A and the original is scanned at position A.

- At job start (Dust bypass)


Presence/absence of dust is detected at all points A, B, and C in this order at job end. The original is read at the point where least dust is detected.

The analog video signals output from the CMOS sensor are corrected so that they will have a specific gain level (gain correction), and the output voltages generated
in the absence of incident light are also corrected so that they it will have a specific offset level (offset correction).

4.3.6.4 CMOS Sensor Output A/D Conversion


0018-1199

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480


After completion of the above corrections, the analog video signals are converted to digital signals corresponding to individual pixel voltage levels by the A/D
converter.

4.3.6.5 Shading Correction (Outline)


0018-1200

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480


The CMOS sensor outputs are necessary even for the following reasons even when the density of the original is uniform:

(1) Variation in sensitivity among CMOS sensor pixels


(2) Variation in light intensity of rod lens array

The machine performs shading correction to even out the CMOS sensor output.
There are two types of shading correction: shading adjustment performed in the Service mode and shading correction performed for each job.

4.3.6.6 Shading Adjustment


0018-1201

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The machine measures the density of the standard white plate, and stores the measured density data. It then processes the stored data to use it as the target value for
shading correction.

4.3.6.7 Shading Correction


0018-1202

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The machine performs shading correction for each scan. It measures the density of the standard white plate, and compares the measured value with the target value
stored in the shading correction circuit to use the difference between the two as the shading correction value. The machine uses this shading correction value to
correct the variation among CMOS sensor pixels when scanning the original, thus evening out the image density level.

5.1 Overview/Configuration

5.1.1 Overview
0018-1203

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The laser scanner unit consists of a laser driver, scanner motor, and others. It is controlled by the signals from the DC controller PCB.
The laser driver operates the laser diode to emit light in response to the laser control signals and video signals from the DC controller PCB.
Laser beams are emitted, through a collimator lens and cylindrical lens, to the hexahedral mirror rotating at a constant speed.
Laser beam reflected by the hexahedral mirror focus on the photoconductor drum via the imaging lens and loop-back mirrors installed before the hexahedral mirror.
When the hexahedral mirror rotates at a constant speed, the photoconductor drum is scanned with laser beams at a constant speed.
When the photoconductor drum rotates at a constant speed and the photoconductor is scanned with laser beams at a constant speed, a latent image is formed on the
photoconductor drum.

0018-1207

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The purpose of this control is to turn ON/OFF the laser diode (LD) in response to video signals.
The DC controller PCB sends laser control signals (CNTRL0, CNTRL1, and CNTRL2), which are used to switch between laser driver operation modes, to the laser
driver IC along with video signals (VDO1, /VDO1, VDO2, and /VDO2). The laser driver IC controls laser emission (ON/OFF) according to the combination of
CNTRL0, CNTRL1, and CNTRL2 signals.
The following table shows combinations of laser control signals (CNTRL0, CNTRL1, and CNTRL2).

5.2.2 Horizontal Synchronization Control


0018-1208

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480


The purpose of this control is to adjust the position where scanning starts in the horizontal direction (main scan direction) of the image with reference to the hori-
zontal synchronization signal (/BD) sent from the BD sensor in the laser scanner. The horizontal synchronization signal is also used as a vertical synchronization
signal to recognize the leading edge of paper. Upon detection of arrival of the fed paper at the prescribed position, the DC controller PCB starts sending the /BD
signal to the image porcessor PCB. The image processor PCB recognizes the leading edge of paper at the start of the continuous /BD signal; it recognizes the trailing
edge of paper at the end of the continuous /BD signal.

MEMO:
About Generation of BD Signal
The BD sensor on the BD circuit board receives only the beam of laser B; it does not receive the beam of laser A. The BD signal is generated from the beam of laser A.

5.4.1 Laser Scanner Motor Control


0018-1210

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

From the moment the laser scanner motor starts to the moment it reaches the target revolution speed, the revolution speed is controlled with reference to the laser
scanner motor revolution speed signal (FG signal). After the target revolution speed is reached, the revolution speed is controlled so that the BD cycle and the laser
scanner motor revolution cycle are in the same phase.
The revolution speed of the laser scanner motor is controlled using an acceleration signal (ACC signal) and deceleration signal (DEC signal).

0018-1224

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

With the primary charging bias method, the drum is charged directly by the charging roller. In addition to a DC bias, an AC bias is applied to the primary charging
roller to stabilize charging. When the drum is charged, both AC and DC biases are applied. When the drum is discharged, only the AC bias is applied.
The ASIC on the DC controller PCB outputs the primary bias drive signal (/PRACFOT), primary AC bias ON/OFF signal (/PRACON), primary DC bias drive
signal (/PRDCFOT), and primary DC bias output level signal (/PRDCPWM) to apply the voltage generated by superimposing the primary AC bias over the primary
DC bias to the primary charging roller.
The primary AC bias is detected by the primary AC bias current detection circuit, and is fed back to the AC generator circuit via the comparison circuit.
The primary DC bias is detected by the primary DC bias current detection circuit, and is fed back to the DC generator circuit via the comparison circuit. Thus, this
machine controls the primary DC bias voltage. The primary DC bias voltage changes with the developing DC bias voltage according to the image density informa-
tion sent from the image processor PCB.

A DC bias and an AC bias are applied to the developing cylinder.


The ASIC on the DC controller PCB outputs the developing AC bias drive signal (/DVACFOT), developing AC bias ON/OFF signal (/DVACON), developing DC
bias drive signal (/DVDCFOT), and developing DC bias output level signal (/DVDCPWM) to apply the voltage generated by superimposing the developing AC
bias over the developing DC bias to the developing cylinder.
To prevent fogging of the drum, a DC bias higher than usual applied except during image formation and when the developing AC bias is applied for warm-up
rotation.
The developing DC bias is detected by the developing DC bias detection circuit, and is fed back to the DC generation circuit via the comparison circuit, thus con-
trolling the DC bias voltage. The developing DC bias voltage changes with the primary DC bias voltage according to the image density information sent from the
image processor PCB.
The remaining toner level is detected during warm-up rotation and when the developing AC bias is applied for printing. The remaining toner level detection signal
(TNRCHKT) sampled from the antenna (for remaining toner level check) in the developing assembly is compared with the reference signal (TNRCHKD) received
from the developing bias detection circuit.

7.3 Cassette Pickup Unit

7.3.1 Overview
0018-1249

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The paper picked up from the cassette is fed to the registration roller using the vertical path roller driven by the main motor (M204). The registration roller is not
rotating when paper reaches there, so an arch is formed at the leading of the paper to prevent skewing. The DC controller PCB turns on the registration clutch
(CL203) at the prescribed timing to transfer the main motor rotation to the registration roller, thus feeding the paper to the delivery tray through the transfer, sepa-
ration, fixing, and delivery assemblies.

F-7-10

7.3.2 Cassette Pickup Operation


0018-1250

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

Rotation of the pickup roller is controlled by the pickup roller drive gear, which transfers the drive power of the main motor (M204) to the pickup roller drive shaft,
and the cassette pickup solenoid (SL202). When the main motor starts rotating, the interlocked relay gear also starts rotating. At this time, the pickup roller drive
gear is not driven because its toothless portion is positioned at the relay gear and therefore these gears are not engaged with each other.
1) The DC controller PCB issues a cassette pickup solenoid drive signal (CSTFD). When the solenoid is turned on, the control arm pushes the cam to rotate the
pickup roller drive gear slightly.

F-7-11

7-9
Chapter 7

2) When the pickup roller drive gear is engaged with the pickup roller shaft gear, drive power is transferred to the pickup roller shaft gear and consequently the
pickup roller starts rotating.

F-7-12
3) When the feed roller drive gear is engaged with the feed roller shaft gear, drive power is transferred to the feed roller shaft gear and consequently the feed roller
starts rotating.
4) When the pickup roller rotates once, the toothless portion of the pickup roller drive gear comes to the position of the relay gear and consequently drive power of
the main motor is not transferred, stopping the rotation of pickup and feed rollers.
5) The picked up paper is fed to the registration roller through the vertical path roller.

7.3.3 Cassette Paper Size Detection


0018-1251

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The size of the paper in the cassette is detected by the DC controller PCB when the user changes the position of the cassette paper size lever. When the cassette is
inserted in the iR host machine, the paper size lever pushes the paper size switches provided in the iR host machine to allow the DC controller PCB to detect presence
of the cassette and the size of paper. Paper size switches are arranged as shown below. Paper sizes are determined by the combinations of the switches pushed by
the paper size lever.

7.4 Manual Feed Pickup Unit

7.4.1 Overview
0018-1252

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

a. Multi Manual feed Pickup Control


The manual feed pickup mechanism picks up sheets of paper in succession from the multi manual feed tray. The sheets of paper stacked in the tray are raised against
the manual feed pickup roller by the inner plate. The manual feed pickup roller is driven by the main motor (M204) via the manual feed pickup solenoid (SL202)
and gears. Only one sheet of paper is picked up by the combination of the manual feed pickup roller and manual feed pickup paper separation pad, and then fed to
the registration roller. These operations are performed for each sheet to be picked. The user must set the size of the paper in the multi manual feed tray using the
operation panel, or the user must register a fixed size in the user mode.

F-7-15
b. Inner Plate Lift Operation
During standby, the inner plate is at the down position with it held by the cams provided at the front and back of the manual feed pickup roller shaft. Rotation of
the pickup roller rotates the interlocked cams to lift the inner plate, raising the sheets of paper (loaded in the manual feed tray) against the manual feed pickup roller.
On the opposite side of the pickup roller is mounted a separation pad that separates only one sheet of paper from others and feeds it to the next section.
c. Manual feed Tray Pickup Drive Mechanism
pickup solenoid drive signal (MFPD) sent from the DC controller PCB. Rotation of the main motor drives the pickup drive power transfer gear. The DC controller
PCB issues a manual feed pickup solenoid drive signal (MFPD). When the solenoid turns on, the stopper operates to rotate the pickup roller once. Next, the stopper
operates again to stop rotation of the pickup roller.

7.4.2 Post-pickup Control after Multi Manual Feed Pickup


0018-1253

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

Paper pickup operation ends when paper is pressed against the registration roller. After this, the registration roller starts rotating and the multi manual feed pickup
clutch turns on. This clutch turns off after feeding the paper by the distance equivalent to the paper size - 126.7 mm (*1) - 5 mm (*2).

*1. Distance that paper is fed from the multi pickup roller to the point where the registration sensor turns on.
*2. Paper is post-fed to the point which is 5 mm to the training edge.

When the paper size is not specified, paper is post-fed by the distance equivalent to the multi paper feed enabled size (148 mm in longitudinal direction).
Minimum post-feed distance: 148 mm - 126.7 mm - 5 mm = 16.3 mm

8.2.1.1 Controlling the Fixing Film Speed


0018-1256

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The rotation cycle is measured with reference to the mark provided at the end of the fixing film to rotate the fixing drive motor at the optimum speed, thus keeping
the paper feed speed constant. Measurement of the cycle of each rotation (excluding the initial rotation and post-rotation) of the fixing drive motor starts when 1
second lapses after the motor starts rotating and ends when the trailing edge of the last sheet has passed through the fixing nipper.

8.2.2 Controlling the Fixing Film Temperature

8.2.2.1 Outline
0018-1257

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

The surface temperature of the fixing heater is detected to control the fixing heater drive signal so that the fixing heater temperature becomes the target temperature.
The temperature of the fixing heater is detected by the thermistor (TH1/TH2) provided on the fixing heater. If the surface temperature rises, the resistance of the
thermistor lowers and the voltage of the fixing heater temperature detection signal (M_TH/S_TH) also lowers.
The CPU on the DC controller monitors the voltage of the M_TH/S_TH signal to control the fixing heater 1 drive signal (H1DRV) and fixing heater 2 drive signal
(H2DRV). These two voltages are generated based on the zero crossing detection signal which is output from the heater control circuit. The CPU controls these two
signals to adjust the fixing heater temperature to the prescribed value.

8.2.2.2 Controlling the Fixing Film Temperature


0018-1258

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

This machine performs fixing temperature control according to the fixing heater temperature as mentioned below.
1) Warm-up temperature control
Upon receipt of a print command from the DC controller, the fixing heater heats to the temperature below the target paper-present section temperature.
2) Paper-present section temperature control
The fixing heater temperature is adjusted to the target paper-present section temperature according to the combination of the paper size, number of sheets fed,
fixing mode, and temperature detected by the fixing main thermistor.
3) Sheet-to-sheet temperature control
The fixing heater temperature is held relatively below the target paper-present section temperature to prevent the paper-absent section temperature from rising
between sheets.
4) Down sequence
The temperature may detect an abnormally high temperature during continuous printing. If the sub-thermistor detects a temperature equal to or higher than 275
deg C, the sheet-to-sheet distance is increased to prevent the paper-absent section temperature from rising. If the sub-thermistor detects a temperature equal to
or lower than 220 deg C in the down sequence, normal control resumes.
5) Cooling mode
If printing is performed using wider sheets (*1) after printing is performed using narrower sheets in the continuous print mode, fixing offset may occur due to
the difference in temperature between the edge and center. If the sub-thermistor detects a temperature equal to or higher than 130 deg C, paper feed and printing
stop to prevent the temperature from rising at the edge. If the sub-thermistor detects a temperature equal to or lower than 130 deg C or two or more minutes lapse,
normal control resumes.
*1: The large size is a paper of which the width is 10 mm larger than the previous job.

target temperature is lowered in 5 deg C steps.
*2: Number of sheets controlled at the initial target temperature. If it is exceeded, the target temperature is lowered. The prescribed number of sheets varies with
the paper size.

Protection Functions
This machine is provided with the following four protection functions to prevent the fixing heater from overheating:
1) The CPU monitors the thermistor (TH1) voltage. If the thermistor (TH1) voltage is abnormal, the CPU judges that the fixing heater is faulty and turns off the
relay (RL1). At the same time, the CPU notifies the DC controller of occurrence of the fixing heater failure.
2) If the temperature of the fixing heater rises abnormally and the thermistor (TH1) detects a voltage lower than about 0.7 V (equivalent of 240 deg C), the fixing
heater high temperature detection circuit cuts off the power supplied to the fixing heater.
3) If the temperature of the fixing heater rises abnormally and the thermo switch (TP1) detects a temperature higher than 250 deg C, the thermo switch turns off
to cuts off the power supplied to the fixing heater.
Failure Detection
The CPU performs error detection at intervals of 40 msec. If any one of the cases a to d occurs, the CPU stops the machine completely. To restart the machine,
remove the cause of the failure and carry out initial rotation. If a failure is detected, an error code "EXXX" is displayed on the operation panel.

MEMO:
In case of this machine, the detail code of the error code of this machine can be confirmed in the following service mode.

9.3.1.1 Outline
0018-1309

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

When the main power switch (SW1) is turned on, AC power is supplied to the low-voltage power supply circuit in the power supply PCB.
The low-voltage power supply circuit supplies +3.3 V, +5 V, and +24 V to operate the machine.
+24 V is supplied to the motors, fan, electromagnetic clutch, solenoid, etc. +5 V and +3.3 V are supplied to the sensor, etc.
There are two types of +24 V voltages: +24 V which is normaly supplied from the low voltage power supply and +24 VR which is cut off when the front cover or
the left door is opened. The +24 VR also plays the role of a door open detection signal (DOPEN). This signal allows the CPU to detect that the front cover or the

The power supply PCB is provided with an overcurrnet/overvoltage protection function to automatically cut off the output voltage when a trouble such as a short
circuit occurs on in the load.
When the overcurrnet/overvoltage protection function is activated, turn off the main power switch, solve the trouble with the load, and then turn on the main power
switch.
Further, the power supply circuit has two fuses which blow to stop power supply when an excessive current flows in the AC line.

Embedded RDS (henceforth: e-RDS) is the front-end module of e-Maintenance embedded with a network module of a device controller.

Product Package Configuration


Embedded with a network module of a device.

Features
e-RDS is embedded with a network module of a device controller, which works as a front-end module of e-Maintenance without any hardware other than device.
With use of e-RDS, device information such as counter information, failure information, consumables information of device controllers are transmitted to a back-
end server called Universal Gateway (centralized device information management host computer, henceforth: UGW) using SOAP protocol. (https(SSL) commu-
nication)

10.1.2 Application Operation Mode


0017-8265

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

Whether to enable (ON) /disable (OFF) the Operation Mode is selectable by setting from e-RDS setting display from the service mode (E-RDS SWITCH).
- OFF (default) : e-RDS is disabled.
- ON : All e-RDS operations are enabled.
By setting from UGW, operations including counter transmission, log transmission, and alert transmission can be controlled.

Note that the communication test (COM-TEST) is required prior to start of e-RDS operation.
(For detail, see 'Settings of e-RDS'.)

10.1.3 Communication Test


0017-8266

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

By implementing a communication test (COM-TEST) from the service mode, service technicians can test the connection of the device with UGW.
In case of a communication error, you can find its cause by referring to the communication error log.

e-RDS obtains the schedule information from UGW by performing COM-TEST.


The obtainment of the schedule information from UGW enables e-RDS to start its operation.

10.1.4 Communication Log


0017-8267

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

In case of a communication error (such as proxy server error), error log is recorded (for 5 cases).
Error code and error information can be displayed on the control panel as a list (service mode: COM-LOG), and printed out as a report.
(service mode: #REPORT > #REPORT OUTPUT > ERDS COM LOG LIST)

10.1.5 Detail of Communication Log


0017-8268

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

Error code and detail of the communication error log can be displayed on the control panel and printed out as a report.

10.1.6 Initialization of e-RDS


0017-8269

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

e-RDS setting can be returned to the factory default.

Step
Initialize the e-RDS setting values using the service mode items below:
#CLEAR > ERDS-DAT

Initialized setting values and data


Followings are the setting values and internally used data that are initialized:
#E-RDS > E-RDS SWITCH
#E-RDS > RGW-PORT
#E-RDS > RGW-ADDRESS
#E-RDS > COM-LOG

10-1
Chapter 10

Initialization of e-RDS resets all the port and address settings so that they are suitable for UGW, but does not reset the CA certificate data.
For this reason, in case a non-default CA certificate data is installed, you need to delete the certificate (installation of the default certificate) after initialization of
e-RDS.
(As for deletion of certificate, see 'CA certificate'.)

10.1.7 SOAP Communication Function


0017-8270

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

Following processings are enabled by use of SOAP communication (SSL client communication).
Server authentication is performed by use of CA*1 certificate issued by VeriSign.
In case the server certificate or CA certificate is expired, the device is not connected to UGW.

*1: CA stands for Certificate Authority, which are the institutions which issue electronic certificate used in e-commerce etc.

0017-8276

imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

(1). Overview of functions


CA certificate (CA-KEY) is included in the system software System (Default CA certificate. For UGW).

The CA certificate other than the default is installable with SST.


[Outline of the step]
* See 'Downloading System Software' for details.
1. Move it from SST to CA Certificate Install > Flash File System.
2. Turn the power off/on.
Read the CA Certificate file from Flash file system during initialization, and register CA Certificate through the key management module.
3. Check the information in the service mode #NETWORK > #CERTIFICATE > #CA-CERTIFICATE to see if the same one as the installed CA Certificate
has been registered.

(2). The number of CA Certificates stored in the device


The upper limit of CA Certificates stored in the device : 1

(3). Saving the certificate


When executing Service Mode > #CLEAR > CA-KEY and turning off/on the power, the default CA Certificate is loaded on the Flash memory.
If necessary, install CA Certificate with SST.

(4). Update of the certificate


The registered CA Certificate is renewed when overwriting with SST.

(5). Deleting the certificate


The default CA Certificate is automatically installed when deleting CA Certificate in the service mode and turning off/on the power.
Deleting CA Certificate therefore means installation of the default CA Certificate.

If a machine is brought from a cold to warm room, its inside can start to develop condensation, leading to various problems.
a. condensation on the BD sensor is likely to cause problems associated with E100
b. condensation on the dust-proof glass is likely to cause poor image density in sub scanning direction
c. condensation on the contact sensor of the reader unit or on the copyboard glass can cause light images
d. condensation on the pickup or feed guide can cause paper feed problems

If the problem given in d. above has occurred, dry wipe the units in the feed system. Do not open the package containing a toner cartridge, developing unit, or drum
unit right after it has been brought in from a cold to warm place to avoid condensation. Be sure to leave it alone for a while (1 to 2 hr), opening it after it has become
fully used to the temperature of the site.

14.5.1.1 Error Code Outline


0018-0400

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

An error code is used to indicate a fault in a machine, and is indicated in the machine's LCD or reports, showing the nature (symptoms) of the fault. Using the error
code, the user or the service man can readily find out how to correct the fault by simply referring to the User's Manual or service manual.
An error code may be either of the following two types:
User Error Codes
A fault indicated as a user error code is one that can easily be corrected by the user, as by operating the machine. It takes the form of "#+number."
Service Error Codes
If a fault calls for a service man for correction, it is indicated as a service man error code in the form of "##+number" or "SYSTEM ERROR E+number."

Memo
A service error code expressed in the form of "##+number" will not appear on the LCD, Error Tx Report, or Activity Report while the machine remains
in factory default state. To check a service error code, shift bit 0 of service soft switch #1 SSSW SW01 to '1'.

Memo
Display only the error codes which are newly incorporated in this machine as well as which require remedies unique to the product. For the causes and
countermeasures of other error codes, refer to the separate G3/G4 Facsimile Error Code List (Rev. 2).

imageCLASS MF7460 / imageCLASS MF7470 / imageCLASS MF7480

Use it to set RTN signal transmission conditions. Raise these parameters for more lenient conditions if errors occur frequently at time of reception because of trans-
mission of the RTN signal.

Memo:
Any of the following error codes may be indicated at time of reception because of RTN signal transmission
##0104, ##0107, ##0114, ##0201

RTN signal transmission condition (1) affects the ratio of error lines to the total number of lines per single page of received images.
RTN signal transmission condition (2) affects the standard value (*2) of burst errors (*1).
RTN signal condition (3) affects the number of errors not reaching the standard value of burst errors.

*1: transmission error occurring cover several lines.


*2: for instance, if '15' is set, a single burst error will represent an error occurring continuously cover 15 lines.

If any of these lines is detected while an image signal is being received, the RTN signal will be transmitted after receiving the protocol signal of the transmitting
party. Higher parameters restrict the transmission of the RTN signal.
