1.4. OVERALL MACHINE CONTROL


The MFCE (M-zone Facsimile Control Engine) contains most of the logical
components for overall system control, and direct interfaces to the IC cards,
an RS232C interface*, and a G4 interface (CiG4-SV). The MFDU (M-zone
Facsimile Drive Unit) contains the interfaces to the power supply, sensors,
drive components, and optional equipment.
* The RS232C interface may not be available in some countries.

There are two CPUs in the machine: the main CPU (SCP) on the MFCE
board and the energy saver CPU on the MFDU board. In energy saver
mode, the main CPU will be switched off and the energy saver CPU is used.
The 2 MB (16Mbit) flash ROM contains the system software, which can be
updated through either an IC card slot or from the remote control center
using RDS (Remote Diagnostic System).
The CGROM (Character Generation ROM) contains all the character fonts
used on the display and in reports.
The 2 MB DRAM is used for the SAF memory, ECM buffer memory, work
area, and page memory. The SAF memory can be extended by 2, 4, or 80
MB with the installation of either an IC memory card or a hard disk.
The 128 kB SRAM contains the user and system parameters. The capacity
can be increased by an additional 512 kB with the installation of the Function
Upgrade card. The SRAMs are battery backed-up.
The MFCE board has two IC card slots.
The upper IC card slot can have any of the following items installed:
Feature Expander Type 140 - 2M (2 MB DRAM)
Feature Expander Type 140 - 4M (4 MB DRAM)
Feature Expander Type 140 - 80M (Hard disk interface with 1 MB
DRAM and 32kB SRAM*)
The lower IC card slot can have any of the following items installed:
Fax On Demand Card (512 kB SRAM*)
Function Upgrade Card (256 kB Flash ROM and 512 kB SRAM*)
Flash/SRAM Data Copy Tool (Service Tool)
* The SRAMs in the IC cards are battery backed up, in case the machine is turned off or the
machine goes into the 2-watt energy saver mode (referred to as Level 2 energy saver mode
in section 2-3). However, the data in the SRAMs are not guaranteed if the card is disconnected from the machine. Whenever the Fax On Demand card or Function Upgrade Card is
removed for the use of the service tool, perform the instructions listed in section 4-1 to avoid
any data loss.

Immediate Transmission:
The scanned data is sent to the VPP4F, where the data will undergo the
analog/digital video processing, the data is then sent to the DCR block in the
SCP through the DCMMR for compression.
The compressed data will then be sent to either the FIFO memory or the
ECM memory, before it is sent to the telephone line through the modem.
Memory Transmission:
The processed video data from the VPP4F is sent to the DCMMR block in
the SCP, where the data is compressed into MMR format or kept as raw
data. The data is then stored in the SAF memory.
At the time for transmission, the DCMMR block will decompress the
data from the SAF memory, then the DCR block will compress the data again
for transmission. The compressed data will be passed to either the FIFO
memory or the ECM memory, then to the telephone line through the modem.
Parallel Memory Transmission:
This feature allows the machine to scan a document into the SAF memory
and to send the same document simultaneously.
The machine will store the processed video data in the SAF memory and will
send a copy of the data through the modem at the same time.

Data from the line will pass through the NCU to the modem. After the modem
demodulates the data, it will pass through either the FIFO memory or the
ECM memory. The data is then sent to the DCR block of the SCP chip to be
decompressed.
At the same time, the demodulated data is also sent to the SAF memory as
a backup, in case of a mechanical failure during printing. (This is known as
substituted reception.)
The decompressed data will then be sent to the page memory for printing.
After a page of data has been stored in the page memory, the data is sent to
the LDDR through the LCP for printing.

G4 Immediate Transmission:
The scanned data is sent to the VPP4F, where the data undergoes the
analog/digital video processing, and is there sent to the DCR block in the
SCP through the DCMMR for compression.
The DCR block will then compress the data into MMR format, and will be
sent to the CiG4-SV board for G4 transmission.
G4 Memory Transmission:
The video processed data from the VPP4F is sent to the DCMMR block in
the SCP, where the data is compressed into the MMR format or kept as raw
data, it will then be stored in the SAF memory.
At the time for transmission, the DCMMR block will decompress the
data from the SAF memory, then the DCR block will compress it again into
the MMR format. The MMR compressed data will then be sent to the
CiG4-SV board for transmission.
G3 Transmission over an ISDN:
The analog data is converted into PCM (Pulse Coded Modulation) format in
the codec, it is then sent over the ISDN.
Parallel Memory Transmission:
This feature allows the machine to scan a document into the SAF memory
and to transmit the same document simultaneously.
The machine will store the processed video data in the SAF memory and will
send a copy of the data through the CiG4 board.

G4 Reception:
Data from the ISDN line is first sent to the SAF memory. The data will then
be decompressed at the DCR block in the SCP, and will be sent to the page
memory.
After a page of data has been stored in the page memory, the data is sent to
the LDDR through the LCP for printing.
G3 Reception from the ISDN:
Data from the ISDN line first will be sent to the modem through the codec,
where it is converted into an analog signal. After the modem demodulates
the data, the DCR block in the SCP will decompress the data from either the
FIFO or the ECM memory.
At the same time, a copy of the demodulated data is backed up in the SAF
memory, in case of mechanical problems during printing (this is known as
substitute reception).
The decompressed data is then passed to the page memory for printing.
After a page of data has been stored in the page memory, the data is sent to
the LDDR through the LCP for printing.

1. SRAM/Real Time Clock (RTC) Backup


+5VBAT supplies the SRAM, which contains system parameters and
programmed telephone numbers, and the real time clock (RTC) inside the
SCP.
While the machine is on, even in an energy saver mode, the +5VBAT supply
is generated from the +5VE signal [B].
While the machine is turned off, the lithium battery (BAT1 on the MFCE [A])
is used as the +5VBAT supply.
The signal 5RTCCS informs the main CPU whether the back-up power
(+5VBAT) is being supplied from the battery or from the +5V power supply. If
the power is coming from the battery, the main CPU is disabled.

SM

1-23

H515

2. DRAM Backup
While the machine is on, the +5VD supply, which generated from the +5V
signal, supplies the DRAM.
In energy saver mode level 2, the energy saver CPU will disable the +5V
supply if there is no data in the DRAM. However, if there is data in the
DRAM, the +5V supply will not be disabled, and +5VD will continue to supply
the DRAM. If the machine has a hard disk, the +5V supply will only be killed
if there are no received fax messages or fax messages for transmission on
the disk.
While the machine is turned off, the rechargeable battery ([D] BAT1 on the
MFDU) will supply the voltage to the SAF memory. It can back up the DRAM
for an hour.
The battery [D] will generate about 3 volts (max. 3.2 volts). The dc/dc
converter will pump up this voltage to 5 volts so it can be used for DRAM
backup. The CPU will monitor the voltage of the +5VD supply with the
1VDET signal. When the battery has run down to 4.4 volts, the CPU will stop
the dc/dc converter by dropping 1SAFFG to low, stopping the DRAM backup.
Note that recharging the battery [D] takes one or two days after it has been
discharged.

the tx motor starts rotating, the mechanical clutch mechanism in the ADF
roller unit will lift up the pick-up roller [B] to feed the bottom sheet of the document. Then, the feed roller [C] will feed the sheet into the scanner. The
separation rubber plate [D] will prevent the feed roller from feeding more
than one sheet at a time.
Because the line speed of the R1 roller [E] is 3 times faster than the feed
and pick-up rollers, the release mechanism [F] will release the feed and pickup rollers from the motor drive. This will cause the rollers turn at the same
speed as the R1 roller, because they are still gripping the paper.

2.1.4. Shading Correction and A/D Conversion


Before scanning a page, the machine will scan the shading plate and keep
the peak voltage for each pixel of the CCD. The VPP4F will first convert the
analog data into an 8-bit digital data. At the same time, the VPP4F performs
the shading correction using the peak voltage that was detected when scanning the shading plate.

SECTION

Cross-reference
Group 3 Facsimile Manual, section 2-3

2.1.5. Process without Halftone


1. Background Detection

Each pixel is tested in relation to its neighbors to determine whether it


is background noise and should be deleted.

2. MTF

MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) can reproduce details such as thin


lines, points, and complex characters.

3. Thresholding

Each video data element is compared against the threshold level,


which depends on the contrast selected by the user. If an element is
lighter than the threshold level, it is compared to a white (0) , otherwise
it will become a black (1).

4. Erasure of irregular dots

After being converted to white or black by the above thresholding, if an


element is irregular as compared to the surrounding pixels, it is
outputed in the opposite color. The central pixel is compared with the
surrounding eight pixels to determine whether this process is
necessary. There are ten cases, as shown below, in which conversion
is done. This will result in a noise-free and clean image.

H515D647.wmf

5. OR processing

SM

2-11

H515

When the user selects Standard or Detail resolution, the VPP4F will
perform the OR processing to convert the scanned resolution into the
resolution required for transmission.

2.1.6. Process with Halftone


1. Gamma correction

Gamma correction corrects the response of the image sensor to the


various shades in the gray scale from black to white. Also, it converts
each pixel into a 6-bit data (64 levels) for the halftone process.

2. MTF

MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) can reproduce details such as thin


lines, points, and complex characters.

3. Halftone process

Each pixel is converted to six-bit data (0 - 63) using either the dither or
the error diffusion formula. At the same time, if the pixel is on a edge of
a image pattern, it is enhanced to provide a sharp outline.
Then, each pixel is thresholded with the corresponding threshold in a
dither matrix or error diffusion matrix.
2.1.7. Data Switching
When halftone is used and image/text separation is enabled, the VPP4F will
perform both the halftoning procedure and the image/text separation procedure to each pixel in parallel. At the end of these processes, the VPP4F will
choose the data from one of these processes.

2.2.1. Printing Process - Overview

H515D550.wmf

This machine uses a "write to black" system, using negative toner.


The charge corona wire supplies the drum surface a negative charge
of about -750 V.
The exposed area (latent image) on the drum lowers the voltage to
about -100 V.
The development roller carries toner to the latent image on the drum
surface. The bias voltages during printing are as follows:
Toner application roller : -700 V
Development roller: -400 V
The transfer roller pulls the toner from the drum onto the paper.
A constant current of +4 A is applied. The antistatic brush is used to
help separate the paper from the drum.
The cleaning blade removes any toner remaining on the drum after the
image is transferred to the paper.
The quenching lamp reduces the negative charge on the drum to about
-50 V.

constant current of -305 5 A (the voltage is about -5.3 kV). The grid plate
[C] ensures that the charge is uniformly spread out. The zener diode [D]
ensures that the charge on the drum does not exceed -750 50 V.
The charge corona unit contains a wire cleaner [E] for user maintenanace.
The ozone fan on the left hand side of the machine provides air flow to the
charge corona unit. The ozone filter (a paper filter coated with carbon)
decomposes the ozone that is generated around the drum by the corona
discharge.

described in section 4-3-3 in the Group 3 Facsimile manual. The drum [A] is
positioned in the same plane as the laser unit, so there is no need of a
second mirror to change the optical path.
POINTS TO NOTE:
The focusing lens [B] is a barrel toroidal lens.
The shield glass [C] is used to prevent toner and dust from entering the
laser optics area.
An optical fiber [D] passes the reflected laser beam to the laser sychronization detector circuit in the MFDU.
The speed of the hexagonal mirror motor [E] depends on the printing
resolution:

The strength of the beam emitted from the LD unit [F] is 5 mW at a


wavelength of 780 nm.
The dimensions of the dot on the drum are 85 m by 85 m.
The charge on the exposed areas of the drum drops to about -100 V, while
on non-exposed areas it remains at about -750 V.

The SCP chip controls the print image density by changing the laser pulse
width to adjust the width of the dots across the page. The beam strength is
not adjusted in this model. The following table shows the relationship
between the pulse width and the image density.

Note: Toner saving mode is only used when printing fax messages and
reports. (However, toner saving is disabled when receiving a halftone mode message in NSF/NSS mode.)
When toner saving mode is selected, the print image density is
automatically set to "Normal"; because in some cases, the image
may become invisible if the Lighter setting is used.

2.2.5. Toner Supply
[A]

[B]
[C]

H515D617.wmf

This machine uses monocomponent toner, which is composed of resin and


ferrite. The toner mixing bar [A] stirs and carries the toner to the toner supply
roller [B]. The toner supply roller supplies the toner to the development unit.
The main motor [C] drives the toner supply mechanism through a gear train.
Toner is supplied to the development unit from the outer openings [D, E] in
the CTM. The spiral mechanism [F] on the toner supply bar distributes toner
through the development unit.
The openings in the central area of the CTM [G] allows the toner to circulate
upwards from the development unit. This circulation prevents an excessive
toner supply to the development unit and ensures that the toner remains
fresh. This helps to prevent blurred images.

Initial Toner Supply Mode


When the first CTM (Cleaning Toner Magazine) is installed in a new

Toner End Detection


Toner near-end is detected by the toner end sensor [A], which is located
below the toner tank.
While the main motor is rotating, the machine will detect the toner end
condition by monitoring the output voltage from the toner end sensor . The
voltage from the sensor is close to 5 V when the toner tank is full and
becomes low when toner is almost empty.

Toner near-end condition: When the CPU detects a low output from the
toner end sensor for more than 30 seconds, the CPU will start to blink the
Add Toner indicator. This is the toner near-end condition.
Toner end condition: After the toner near-end condition is detected, the
machine can print 100 more sheets, then the CPU will disable all printing
operations. This is the toner end condition.
The machine will clear the toner near-end or toner end condition when the
power is switched off and back on, or when the cover is opened and closed,
and if the output from the toner end sensor goes back high again.
However, when the machine is turned off/on or when the cover is opened
and then closed, the machine requires about 30 seconds to check for a toner
near-end condition again. So, if the user prints something within this 30
seconds period without changing the CTM, the machine will allow the
printout to be made, but the print quality may be poor.
If the cover is opened and closed without installing a new toner supply, the
addional 100 sheet counter will not be reset. The counter will remain at its
previous count.

[A]

Overview
There are two rollers in the development unit: the Toner Application Roller [B]
and the Development Roller [D]. The transfer roller [F] is used to transfer
toner from the drum onto the paper.
The toner supply bar [A] stirs and carries the toner to the toner application
roller [B]. Toner is attracted to the toner application roller because it has a
magnetic layer. As the toner application roller turns past the toner metering
blade [C], only a thin coating of negatively charged toner particles stays
adhered. (Refer to section 4-4-2 of the Group 3 Facsimile manual.)
During printing, a bias voltage of -700 V is applied to the toner application
roller and another bias voltage of -400 V is applied to the development roller.
The toner is carried from the toner application roller to the development roller
[D] by the potential difference between these two rollers.
The exposed area (latent image) on the drum surface [E] is at -100 V. The
development roller applies toner to these exposed areas on the drum as the
drum turns past the development roller.
The development roller is made of a soft rubber to ensure that it does not
damage the surface of the drum. The development roller can be ordered as
a separate spare part because it always contacts the toner application roller.
The speed ratio between the drum, development roller, and the toner
application roller is about 1 : 1 : 3. The toner application roller rotates three
times faster than the development roller, so it deposits a layer of toner three
times as thick onto the development roller. This provides a clearer image.
Also, the toner application roller rotates in the opposite direction to the
development roller, which helps to keep the toner level constant on the
development roller.

sensor is turned on, or for 1 second, whichever is first. (See section 2-2-8 for
a diagram of the registration sensor.)
When the paper feed motor rotates counter-clockwise, the projection [B] will
disengage the gear [C] inside the clutch gear box assembly as shown in the
diagram. This will prevent any drive from being transmitted to the paper feed
rollers for the standard cassette.
If a sheet of paper remains in the bypass feed slot for longer than the Auto
Reset Time (System Switch 0B), the machine will automatically feed it out.
The default time is three minutes. The machine cannot print incoming fax
messages while there is a sheet of paper in the bypass feed slot. Feeding
the page out after the Auto Reset time allows incoming faxes to be printed
even if someone had left paper in the by-pass feed slot.
Sheets of paper longer than 600 mm cannot be fed from the bypass feed
slot, or a paper jam will occur (error code 9-81).

Instead of using a transfer corona wire, this machine uses a transfer roller,
which comes in contact with the drum surface of the drum.
A constant current of +4 0.2 A is applied to the transfer roller [A] from the
power pack [B]. The positively biased transfer roller pulls negatively charged
toner off the drum. The combination of the curvature of the drum and the
antistatic brush are used to cause the paper to drop away from the drum for
paper separation.

Temperature and humidity have less effect on the supply of ions when the
transfer current is held constant. With a constant voltage, ions may dissipate
in some conditions.

H515

SM

Cleaning Mode
If the paper size is smaller than the printed image, or if a paper jam occurs
during printing, toner may be transferred onto the surface of the transfer
roller. To prevent this toner from transferring onto the back side of copies, the
transfer roller has to be cleaned before the next printing run.
While the machine is in the cleaning mode, the power pack will supply
-1000V 50 V to the transfer roller, and will charge the drum to -750 V. The
negatively charged toner on the transfer roller is then transferred back onto
the drum.
The machine will automatically perform the cleaning mode procedure in the
following conditions:
At power on (when the fusing temperature reaches half of the standby
temperature).
When the cover is opened and then closed during the printing process.
After a printer jam has been cleared.
After the bypass feed slot has been used (each page). This will only be
done if printer switch 00 bit 3 is set to 1.

The cleaning unit and the used toner tank are contained in the CTM,
(Cleaning Toner Magazine).
The cleaning blade [A] removes any toner remaining on the drum after the
image is transferred to the paper. A magnetic roller [B] will transfer the used
toner into the used toner tank [D]. The mylar blade [C] will scrape the toner
off the magnetic roller and into the used toner tank [D].
When the CTM is removed from the machine, the cleaning roller cover [E] is
closed by a spring. This will prevent the removed toner from falling out of the
unit.
There is no used toner overflow detection mechanism because the used
toner tank is large enough for the lifetime of the installed CTM.

During normal operation, the CPU controls the fusing lamp based on input
from the thermistor using the above circuit.
When the machine is turned on, or when it comes back from the Level 2
Energy Saver Mode, it will determine if the thermistor circuit is intact by
temporarily closing the initial detect switch circuit on the MFDU. If the
thermistor is connected properly, the machine will begin its normal operation.
If it is not, an Auto Service Call (error code 9-22, sub-code 09) will be
generated.
As a backup safety measure, when the temperature of the hot roller reaches
about 400 C, the thermostat will open.

2.2.12. Page Separation and Data Reduction


Incoming pages that are only slightly longer than the copy paper may be
reduced in the sub-scan direction. Whether or not this occurs, depends on
the settings of printer switches 04 and 05. (Refer to section 4.2.3)

If bit 0 of printer switch 03 is at 1 (Enabled), the data will be reduced in the


page memory to fit on the copy paper. However, data will only be reduced if
the length of the incoming page is between 5 mm shorter and the selected
maximum length. This maximum incoming page length that can be reduced
is depended on the copy paper size and on the reduction ratio that is stored
in printer switches 04 and 05.
Each paper size can be programmed with a separate reduction ratio. In each
of the two bit switches, there is one bit for each possible paper size. The
combination of the bit settings determines the ratio for that paper size.

If the machine has the optional 100 sheet cassette and/or an optional 500
sheet paper feed unit installed, the paper size to use is decided using the
following rules.
If all the cassettes contain paper of the same size, the machine will use
the paper in the lower paper feed unit first, the paper in the upper paper
feed unit second, the paper in the 100 sheet cassette third, and the paper in the standard cassette last.
If the received page has to be split up and printed on two pages, both
pages will be the same size.
If the cassettes contain different sizes, the paper size chosen for printing the received fax message is selected in accordance with the following table of priorities. The table assumes that reduction is enabled and
that the reduction ratio is 4/3.

In energy saver mode levels 0 and 1, the main CPU monitors and controls
the system. The fusing lamp is either turned off or kept at the standby temperature, depending on the setting of User Parameter Switch 05, bits 6 and
7.
In energy saver mode level 2 (also known as the 2-watt energy saver mode),
the main CPU and dc power supplies are shut down. The energy saver CPU
monitors the energy saver key, incoming calls, and the document sensor.
When the energy saver CPU detects an activity at any one of the conditions,
it activates the +5V supply with the WAKEUP signal to start up the main
CPU and other power supplies (+5VLD, +12.4V, +12VP, and -9V).
The following sections will explain how the machine uses these three
modes. Note: Energy saver mode will not operate if a printer interface, a G4
interface, or an RS232C interface is installed.

1. Entering an Energy Saver Mode


The flow chart on the next page will explain how the machine goes into a energy saver mode, depending on parameter settings and other machine
conditions.

- Energy Saver Timer When the energy saver timer expires (default value - 5 minutes) since the
last time a condition #1 operation was detected (see the flow chart), the machine will automatically go into a Energy Saver Mode. See the points
marked 1 on the flow chart.
Cross Reference
Energy saver timer initial setting: System Switch 0B, bits 2 and 3
(1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or Unlimited: Timer disabled)

- Energy Saver Key When the energy saver key is pressed, the machine will check if there are
any background operations in progress (these are the condition #2 operations on the flow chart). If there are none, the machine will automatically go
into a Energy Saver Mode. See point 2 on the flow chart.
Which Energy Saver Mode is Selected?
If User Switch 05, bit 6 is set to maintain the fusing lamp at the standby temperature during Energy Saver Mode, the machine will enter Energy Saver
Mode Level 1. See point 3 on the flow chart.
If User Switch 05, bit 6 is set to keep the fusing lamp off during Energy Saver
Mode, the machine checks for events listed on the flow chart as condition #3
events (see point 4 on the flow chart). If none exist, the machine will go to Energy Saver Level 2. If one or more condition exist, the machine will enter
Energy Saver Level 1 until all of the conditions are cleared. Then it will go to
the Energy Saver Level 2.
See the next flow chart for more details on how the machine changes from
Level 1 to Level 2.

3. Receiving a Fax Message in Energy Saver Mode


The flow chart on the next page explains how the machine receives a fax
message while it is in a energy saver mode.

While the machine is in a Energy Saver mode, the energy saver CPU monitors ringing signals from the line. When the energy saver CPU has detected
two consecutive ringing signals, it activates the +5V supply to the main CPU
and will pass the ring detection process to the main CPU.
After the main CPU has detected a ringing signal, the machine will go to Energy Saver Mode Level 0 and receive the fax into memory. Level 0 mode
looks the same as the previous mode for users, but all of the system components are active in the background for receiving a fax message.
See point 1 on the flow chart.
Printing
If either of the following conditions is not met (condition #1 on the flow chart),
the machine will print out the fax message and then return to the Energy
Saver Mode in the manner described in the previous two flow charts at this
section.
Energy Saver mode is activated during the Night Timer period
The machine is currently in the Night Timer period.
If both conditions are met, the machine will return to the Energy Saver Mode
as described at the previous two flow charts at this section. It will print the fax
message after the Night Timer expires.

The excessive jam alarm will automatically notify the service station when
the machines scanner or printer has frequently jam problems.
Both types of jams (scanner & printer) has three counters allocated to each
called JAM, NO-JAM1, and NO-JAM2. Each of the counters have a set of
threshold values called CALL, DEC, and CLR respectively. (the values can
be adjusted.) The machine will use these counters to monitor both types of
jams as follows.
Each time a jam occurs: The JAM counter is increased by 1, and both the
NO-JAM1 and NO-JAM2 counters are set to zero. When the JAM counter
reaches CALL value (6 by default), the machine will send an Auto Service
Report with a System Parameter List to the programmed service station.
If a sheet of paper is fed without a jam occuring: Both the NO-JAM1 and
NO-JAM2 counters are incremented by 1. When the NO-JAM1 counter
reaches the DEC value (16 by default), the NO-JAM1 counter is set to zero,
and the JAM counter is decremented by 1. When the NO-JAM2 counter
reaches the CLR value (48 by default), both the NO-JAM2 and JAM counters are reset to zero.
The CALL, DEC, and CLR threshold values can be adjusted for each type of
jam by rewriting RAM data. The addresses of these thresholds are listed on
the following page. The listed default values above are examples only.

The Call Service indicator will not light for an excessive jam alarm and the
machine can be operated normally after the automatic service call has been
made. Also, the counters related to the jam location are automatically reset
to zero after the call. The alarm is then disabled until either bit 3 (ADF jams)
or bit 4 (printer jams) of address 4805B0(H) is reset to zero.

DETAILED
SECTION
DESCRIPTIONS

When using the memory transmission, normally the machine will start dialing after the document has been completely scanned. When using the
Parallel Memory Transmission, the machine will start to dial at the same time
the machine starts scanning. If the document has multiple pages, the machine will scan the pages into memory and at the same time will send them.

In the following cases, the machine will use normal memory transmission
even if parallel memory transmission is enabled.
Send later transmission
Broadcasting
Transmission of an Auto Document only
File re-transmission from the hard disk filing system
Double-sided document transmission
Partial image transmission (if parallel memory tx is enabled, partial image scanning cannot be used)
Transfer request transmission
If the other terminal is busy
If an external telephone connected to the machine is in use
When communication switch 0A, bit 0 is set to 0 (See section 4.2.4.)
When remaining memory space is less than the threshold (default =
512 kB)
Using G4 transmission, parallel memory transmission is normally disabled
because the transmission speed is much faster than the scanning speed.
Transmission using parallel memory transmission is about twice as long as
normal memory transmission (using an ITU-T #1 test chart).
However, if the document contains pages with complicated images or when
sending a photo document using halftone, using parallel memory transmission may be faster than normal memory transmission.
If the user commonly sends this type of fax message, enable parallel memory transmission for G4 transmission by changing system switch 11, bit 7 to
1.

2.3.4. Transfer Broadcasting

In a transfer broadcasting operation, the transfer requester informs its own


fax number to the transfer station. The transfer station uses that number to
identify the requesters fax number, which the transfer station must dial to
send the transfer result report back to the requester.
Transmission of the transfer result report and selection of the number to dial
depends on the following three settings.
Setting
Conditions required for transfer result
report transmission
Action when there is no fax number in the
programmed Quick/Speed dials which
matches the requesters own fax number
Number of digits compared to find the
requesters fax number from the
programmed Quick/Speed dials.

Switch
Communication switch 0B, bit 3
0: Always
1: If there is an error
Communication switch 0B, bit 5
0: Transfer cancelled
1: Transfer continued
Communication switch 0C, bits 0 to 4
(default setting = 5 digits)

The requesters fax number format is normally as follows.


[ International access code ] [ Country code ] [ Area code ] - [ Local tel. no.]
A Pause (-) must be programmed between area code and local tel. no.
Before the machine transfers the message, the machine compares the last
few digits of the requesters own fax number with all the programmed
Quick/Speed Dials as shown in the diagram on the next page, starting from
Quick Dial 01 to the end of the Speed Dial codes. (The default setting for the
number of digits compared is 5; see the above table.)
If the machine finds a number in which the compared digits match those of
the requesters own fax number, the machine will choose the number as the
destination for sending the report back. However, depending on the number
of digits compared, the machine may choose the wrong destination, as
shown in the example diagram on the next page.
Note that the machine does not compare the following:
Pause (-)
ISDN sub-address (/aaaa, aaaa is a sub-address number)
With a G4 transfer request, the G4 and G3 own fax numbers are informed
from the requester, then the machine compares the G4 number first, and the
G3 number second.

In the above example:


If the requester is within the same area, Quick Dial 05 or Quick Dial 08
is the correct destination, depending on the required dialing method for
numbers in the same country or area. The machine will select Quick
Dial 05 if it compares from 5 to 7 digits, and will select Quick Dial 08 if it
compares from 8 to 10 digits.
Or, if the requester is in another country, Speed Dial 07 is the correct
destination. The machine will select this number if it compares 11 digits.
Any setting higher than this will result in no match, due to the different
international access codes at the start of the numbers.
If the machine compares less than 4 digits, it will select Quick Dial 01.
If the number of digits to compare is set to zero, the machine will send
the report to the first Quick or Speed Dial number which a fax number
has been programmed in.
Note that the result can be changed depending on the locations where the
candidates are programmed. For example, if 00-12012223456 is programmed in Quick Dial 01, the machine always selects this number for
sending back the report, even if the transfer request is from within the same
country.
So, when programming the machine to act as a Transfer Station, the best
combination of the communication switch 0C setting and the programmed location of the requesters fax number has to be considered carefully.

The machine can have up to 100 fax messages in the SAF memory for the
Fax On Demand application. Anyone who can access the machine can get
up to 5 fax messages in one polling operation using a DTMF tone sequence.
A password (Remote ID) can be used to secure the information from
unauthorized access.
The machine can have up to seven voice messages to instruct the caller
about the procedure (each message must be shorter than 30 seconds). The
voice messages are recorded using the microphone. The Voice A/D Converter on the MFCE will convert the messages into a digital format and store
them in the SRAM inside the Fax On Demand card. When playing back a
message or transmitting it to a caller, the Voice A/D Converter will convert
the digitized message back into an analog voice message and will send it to
the speaker or the NCU through the HIC on the MFDU.
The SRAM in the Fax On Demand card is backed up by a battery in the card
when the machine is turned off or when the machine is in the 2-watt (level 2)
energy saver mode.

After ringing detection, the machine will send a pre-recorded message, and
at the same time, will start to detect CNG signals or DTMF tones from the remote caller. The dedicated DTMF receiver on the MFDU is used to detect
both the CNG signals and DTMF tones.
If the machine detects CNG signals, the machine will go into the fax reception mode. If the machine detects the DTMF tone signals, the machine will
then send a voice prompt messages to instruct the caller what to do. After
the last message has been sent to the remote caller, the machine will go into
the fax transmission mode.
Sometimes the machine might not detect DTMF signals while the machine is transmitting a voice message. To avoid this, the messages
should instruct the caller to send DTMF signals after the message has
been finished.
While Fax On Demand is enabled, the machine will disable receiving Transfer Request using DTMF tones, because it may use the same key sequence.

2.3.6. Hard Disk Filing System


If the machine has the hard disk option and a function upgrade card, the
hard disk can be used as a kind of document filing system.
The feature can be implemented in either of two ways:
Enable for specified parties only
Enable for all parties except those specified
The machine will keep fax messages that have been sent to enabled parties
and fax messages received from those parties in the hard disk.
Each filed message is given a unique cabinet number. Using this number,
the messages can be printed or resent later. Refer to the Operators Manual
for more details.
For transmission, the machine can file fax messages that were sent using
normal memory transmission. Messages that were sent using the following
features cannot be filed in the hard disk.
Parallel memory transmission Immediate transmission
Auto document
Confidential transmission
Messages sent from polling standby
Note that the machine cannot file messages that were sent using parallel
memory transmission. So, parallel memory transmission should be disabled
when using this function.
For reception, the machine can file any fax messages that were received, except the following.
Messages with a confidential ID
Messages received while Memory Lock was enabled
Messages for Transfer
If the total amount of filed messages exceeds the threshold (40 MB is the default), if the total number of filed pages exceeds 3000, or if the number of
files exceeds 500, the machine will delete files, starting from the oldest one.
Also, if a message takes up more than the 95% of the threshold (40 MB x
95% = 38 MB at default), the machine will not file it.

3.3.3. Fax on Demand


CAUTION: Before installing the Fax on Demand option, review all of
the precautions listed below.
1. The Fax on Demand card can only be inserted into the lower slot
because thepin configuration of the slots are not compatible.
The connector in the upper slot contains 68 pins and the pins are located
directly under each other. Example: o o o o o o o ------ o o o
o o o o o o o ------ o o o
The connector in the lower slot contains more pins (88 pins) and the pins
are adjacent to each other. Example: o o o o o o o ----- o o o
o o o o o o o ----- o o o
2. The data stored in the card is held by a Lithium battery. Install the battery
and turn the battery switch to the on position before inserting the card
into the machine.
3. After the option is installed, System Switch 16, bit 0 MUST be set to 1.
4. If System Switch 16, bit 0 is set to 0, each time that the card is removed and
re-installed in the machine, all of the stored data in the card will be erased.
When the card is re-installed, (power off - remove card - power on), then
power off - insert card - power on), the machine will perform a
initialization procedure which will erase all of the stored data in the card.
5. When System Switch 16, bit 0 is set to 1, during the procedure listed
above, the machine will not perform the initialization routine. The stored
data will not be erased.
6. If after the proper installation, the card is removed (power off - remove
card - power on), the machine will give the appearance of being dead.
The display panel will remain blank, all of the LED indicators will be off
and the machine will not accept key entries. This is the correct
condition of turning on the machine without the card installed.
With System 16, bit 0 set to "1", at power on, the machine will look for
the installed card in the lower slot. When the card is not found, the
machine will lock up (appear to be dead).
Turn the power off and re-insert the card. If the card is not available,
insert the Flash/SRAM Copy Tool.

7. The Fax on Demand card and the Function Upgrade card CANNOT be
used in the same machine. As illustrated on page 1-14 of the Service
Manual, both cards can only be inserted into the lower slot.
The problem occurs when the cards are interchanged in the same
machine. Each time that the opposite card is installed, the machine will
recognize that a different card was installed and will perform a
initialization procedure to erase the stored data in the card.

With System 16, bit 0 set to 1, at power on, the machine will
look for a card in the lower slot. The machine will find a card but
will recognize that it is not the original card. The machine will
perform an initialization procedure to erase all of the stored data
in the new card to allow the operator to load new data.
When the operator inserts the original Fax on Demand card into
the machine (power off - remove Function Upgrade card - insert
Fax on Demand card - power on). As indicated above, the machine will look for a card in the lower slot but again will recognize
that is a different card. Again, the machine will perform an initialization procedure to erase all of the stored data in the new card
to allow the operator to load new data.
At this moment, the operator had inadvertently erased all of the
stored data in both the Fax on Demand and the Function Upgrade cards.
8. During the servicing, the original card can be removed and the
Flash/SRAM Copy Tool can be inserted into the lower slot. The
machine will not perform the initialization procedure. When the original
Fax on Demand card is re- inserted, the stored data will not be erased.

COMMENTS
1: Instead of the personal code, the following data are
listed on the TCR for each analog G3 communication.
e.g. V33 14 01 03 00 02
First set of numbers: Final modem type used
Second set of numbers: Final modem rate (for
example, 14 means 14.4 kbps)
Third and fourth numbers: Line quality data. Either a
measure of the error rate or the rx level is printed,
depending on the bit 3 setting below. (An M on the
report indicates that it is error rate, and an L indicates
Rx level.) The left hand figure is the low byte and the
right hand figure is the high byte (refer to the following
note for how to read the rx level). If it is a measure of
the error rate; a larger number means more errors.
Fifth set of numbers (rx mode only): Total number
of error lines that occurred during non-ECM reception.
Sixth set of numbers (rx mode only): Total number
of burst error lines that occurred during non-ECM
reception.
The fifth and sixth numbers are fixed at 00 for
transmission records and ECM reception records.

How to calculate the rx level listed on the TCR (Journal)


Example: V29 96 L 01 A0 00 00
The four-digit hexadeimal 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 (= 01A0 [H]) is 416.
So, the actual rx level is 416/-16 = -26 dB

After the machine receives a transfer request, the
machine will compare the "own telephone number"
sent from the Requesting Terminal with all
Quick/Speed Dials programmed in the machine,
starting from Quick Dial 01 to the end of the Speed
Dials.
This number determines how many digits from the end
of the telephone numbers the machine will compare.
If it is set to 00, the machine will send the report to the
first Quick/Speed Dial that the machine compared. If
Quick Dial 01 is programmed, the machine will send
the report to Quick 01. If Quick Dial 01 through 04 are
not programmed and Quick Dial 05 is programmed,
the machine will send the report to Quick 05.

4.4. DEDICATED TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS


Each Quick Dial Key and Speed Dial Code has four bytes of programmable
parameters allocated to it. If transmissions to a particular machine often
experience problems, store that terminals fax number as a Quick Dial or
Speed Dial, and adjust the parameters allocated to that number.
The programming procedure will be explained first. Then, the four bytes will
be described.
4.4.1. Programming Procedure

1. Set bit 3 of System Bit Switch 04 to 1. Refer to secion 4.1.1.


2. Either use Function 31 (for a Quick Dial number) or Function 32 (for a
Speed Dial number)
Example: Change the Parameters in Quick Dial 10.

4. Press Quick Dial key 10.

Note: When selecting Speed Dial 10 with Function 32, press   at


the ten key pad.

5. Press  four times. (speed dial press five times)


6. The settings for byte 0 are now displayed. Press a number from 0 to 7
corresponding to the bit that you wish to change.
Example: Change bit 7 to 1: Press 7
7. To scroll through the parameter bytes, either:
Select the next byte:
or

Select the previous byte:


until the correct byte is displayed. Then go back to step 6.
8. After the setting is changed, press
9. To finish, press

.

 .

10. After finishing, reset bit 3 of System Bit Switch 04 to 0.

If communication with a particular remote


terminal often contains errors, the signal level
may be inappropriate. Adjust the Tx level for
communications with that terminal until the
results are better.
When disabled, NCU parameter 01 setting is
used.
Note: Do not use settings other than listed on
the left.
Use a higher setting if there is signal loss at
higher frequencies because of the length of
wire between the modem and the telephone
exchange when calling the number stored in
this Quick/Speed Dial.
Also, try using the cable equalizer if one or
more of the following symptoms occurs.
Communication error with error codes such
as 0-20, 0-23, etc.
Modem rate fallback occurs frequently.

Note: Do not use settings other than listed on

If the machine has a Function Upgrade Card or a Fax On Demand Card installed, the SRAM data in the defective MFCE can be copied to the new
MFCE. Otherwise, all the data stored in the card will be initialized the first
time that the power is switched on after replacement.
In such a case, perform the following procedure.
1. Ensure that System Switch 16 - bit 0 is "1", and the battery switch of the
card is ON, before removing the IC card from the MFCE. Then, turn the
machine off.
2. Disconnect the optional IC cards.
3. Replace the old MFCE with the new MFCE (ensure that the battery
switch in the new MFCE is on).
Do not turn on the machine at this point.
4. Connect the Flash/SRAM Copy Tool into the lower slot of the new MFCE,
then connect the old MFCE to the Copy Tool (refer to section 4.1.22).
5. Turn the machine on.
6. Transfer the SRAM data from the old MFCE using service function
12 (refer to section 4.1.22).
7. At the complettion of the data transfer, turn the machine off and
disconnect the tool.
8. Re-insert the optional IC card(s).
9. Turn the machine on and check if the IC cards can be used as before.

In Germany (1TR6) and France (CNET), a time


delay to answer a call is required.
In other countries, use this switch as follows:
If the machine is connected to the same bus from
the DSU as a model K200 is connected, the
machine receives most of the calls because the
response time to a call is faster than the K200.
If the customer wants the K200 to receive most of
the calls, adjust the response time using these bits.
If the customer does not want one machine to
receive most of the calls, use subaddresses to
identify each terminal.

Action when receiving


[SETUP] signal containing
user-specific callrd party
subaddress
0: Ignores the call
1: Receives the call

Normally, the 3rd octet of called party subaddress


information in the [SETUP] signal is set to NSAP.
However, some networks may add user-specific
subaddress to the [SETUP] signal (UK), and the
result of this is that the machine wont answer the
call if a subaddress is specified.
So, change this bit to 1 to let the machine receive
the call if the machine is connected to such a
network.

Bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 17 contain a CPS code, and bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 18
contain another CPS code. If a CPS code is received which is the same as either of
these, communication will fall back from ISDN G4 mode to ISDN G3 mode.
The CPS codes must be the same as those specified in table 4-13 of CCITT
recommendation Q.931.
Examples: Bit

For the codes in bits 0 to 6 of bit switches 17 and 18 to be recognized, bit 7 of bit
switch 17 must be 1. Also, bit 0 of the Communication Switch 07 must be at 0, or
Fallback from G4 to G3 will be disabled.

Signal attenuation level for G3 fax signals received from ISDN line.
If an analog signal comes over an digital line, the signal level after decoding by the
TE is theorically the same as the level at the entrance to the digital line. However,
this sometimes causes the received signal level to be too high at the received end. In
this case, adjust the decoded signals attenuation level using these switches.
The values in the Codec column below show the attenuation level at the G4
interface board. The values in the Modem column show the actual attenuation level
at the modem, because the signal is attenuated again on the MFCE by -6dB.

3.1. ERROR CODES


The tables on the following pages show the error codes that will be printed
on the Service Monitor Report. See the Service Manual for the base machine for instructions on how to print this report.
The meaning of the numbers in the Action column is as follows.
1. Check Layer 1 signalling with a protocol analyzer to determine the cause
of the problem. This may require assistance from a G4 specialist.
2. Repeat the communication. If the problem does not repeat itself, the
problem was a temporary one caused by the user connecting the machine to another interface. However, if the problem remains, there is a
network problem.
3. There is a network problem.
4. There is a network problem. Do the following:
Check the error bit rate of the network. If it is high, contact the network
and ask them to improve the line.
Check the network speed (is it 56 or 64 kbps), and make sure that the
bit switch setting is correct. You may also use the dedicated transmission parameters if this problem only occurs when dialing certain numbers.
Check that the user dialed the correct number.
5. There is a network problem, or a problem in the machine at the other end.
6. There is a problem in the machine at the other end; ask a technician to
check it.
7. The machine at the other end is not a Group 4 fax terminal.
8. The machine is not compatible with the machine at the other end. A compatibility test is needed.
Error codes related with the errors detected by the FCU are listed in the Service Manual of the main body.

3. Make the following bit switch adjustments:


In the machine acting in NT mode, set bits 0 and 1 of G4 parameter
switch 0D to 1.
In the machine acting in TE mode, set bit 0 of G4 parameter switch 0D
to 0 and bit 1 to 1.
4. Reset the machine by switching it off, waiting a few seconds, then switching back on.
5. Place a document in one of the machines, dial a number, then press
Start.
6. After you have finished the test, set bits 0 and 1 of G4 parameter switch
0D back to 0. then reset the machine.

A.2. How to Read the Dump List


A.2.1. Data Format
The machine logs the details of layer 1 communication whenever a event
has taken place. The event can be either a request from the machine, a request from the DSU, a transmission of a signal, or a reception of a signal.
Each log consists of 4 bytes. The first byte indicates the type of event, the
second and the third bytes for optional data, which depends on the type of
event, and the fourth byte indicates the layer 1 status. The following table explains all types of data formats.

A.2.3. Layer 1 Status

1. Activation Procedure from the TE


In idle F3 status, the TE send the
INFO1 signal to the NT and changes to
F4 status. The NT then changes to
G2 status and sends INFO2 signal to
the TE.
The TE changes to F5 status and
stops sending signals to synchronize itself to the signal from the NT.
After the TE has synchronized to the
signal, it sends INFO3 signal to the NT
and changes to the F6 status.
The NT then changes to G3 status
and sends INFO4 signal back to the
TE to inform that a physical link has
been established.
The timers T1, T2 and T3 are used to
reset the TE or NT if a correct response has not received before the
timers expire.

The Printer Interface Unit consists of two (2) logic boards called the
Controller Board and the Interface Board (identified in the Service Manual as
the PIF-L Board).
The Controller Board contains a CPU chip, ROM for the firmware, Page
Memory, an optional Font or Postscript Interface Connector and two (2) Host
Interface Connectors ( a standard Bi-Centronic or an optional Local Talk).
Refer to the Controller Board Specifications for additional information.
The PIF-L Board also contains a CPU chip which is used to emulate the
commands from the Controller Board and to modify the displayed message
in the display panel of the FAX machine. For example, if the FAX machine
can not use Legal size paper, the CPU chip on the PIF-L board will modify
the displayed message in the FAX machine to eliminate the displayed
selection of the Legal size paper. If the option of the legal size paper is not
displayed, the operator can not choose the legal size paper.
Data Path
The Controllers CPU chip will interpret the print data from the host computer
and will write an imaginary page of data in the Page Memory on the
Controller Board. After a page of print data has been stored in the Page
Memory, the Controller CPU chip will transfer the page of print data to the
CPU chip in the FAX machine will then pass the data directly to the Laser
Unit for printing.

PIF100

1-2

SM

The interface between the CPU chips on the Controller board and the FAX
machine is known as "Video Interface". The function of the Video Interface is
to specify the handshaking procedure and the timing of the data transfer.
Dual Access

If a FAX message is received while the machine is busy printing data from
the computer, the FAX message will be received and the data will be
temporary stored in the SAF memory of the FAX machine. At the completion
of the computer print task, the machine will print the received FAX message
that was stored in the SAF Memory.
If the computer attempts to initiate a print task while the FAX machine is busy
receiving a FAX message or printing a report, the print data from the
computer will be received and stored in the Page Memory on the Controller
Board. At the completion of the FAX machine task, the machine will switch
the printer resources of the Controller board to the computer printing task. If
the print data exceeds the Controllers memory size, the print data will be
spooled in the computer (if the computers operating system or the
Application Program contains the Print Spooler Function).
The term "Spooler" is an acronym for Simultaneous Print Operation On Line.
Print Spooler is a computer software program that, when the printer is busy,
will intercept the print data that is on the way to the printer and will redirect it
to a disk or memory. When the printer is no longer busy, the print data will
then be sent to the printer. An advantage of the Print Spooler feature is that
by diverting the entire print job to disk or memory and then coordinating it
with the printer, frees the user from waiting until the print task is completed
before moving to another task.

1.4. POWER DISTRIBUTION


The required +24 volts and the +5 volts are supplied to the Printer Interface
from the FAX machine. The PIF-L board will then generate a different +5
volts for the CPU chips located on the PIF-L and Controller boards.

The CPU on the PIF-L board acts as a interpreter (emulator) between the
printer controller board and the FAX machine.
2.2.1. Command and Status Signals
The controller board will send various command signals to the FAX machine
through the CPU on the PIF-L board requesting hardware status (e.g.,
cassette paper size, jam, toner end) and for specifying a cassette for
printing. The FAX machine will respond to each command signal with a
status signal.
The CPU on the PIF-L board emulates the commands for FAX machines
hardware specifications (e.g, some models can have only one cassette).

2.2.2. Key/Display Emulation

Because the capabilities of the controller and the FAX machine are not the
same (for example, Monarch paper is available with the controller, but not
with the FAX machine), the PIF-L board will emulate the user key operations
for the controller board and the display message to the FAX machine, so that
the user cannot select settings that the FAX machine is not capable of
performing.
2.2.3. Print Density Control
The controller controls the print density adjustment using the Level 2 menu.
Depending on the density setting sent from the controller board, the PIF-L
board will adjust the pulse width of each pixel.

The Printer Interface Unit consists of two (2) logic boards called the
Controller Board and the Interface Board (identified in the Service Manual as
the PIF-L2 Board).
The Controller Board contains a CPU chip, ROM for the firmware, Page
Memory, an optional Font or Postscript Interface Connector and two (2) Host
Interface Connectors ( a standard Bi-Centronic or an optional Local Talk).
Refer to the Controller Board Specifications for additional information.
The PIF-L2 Board also contains a CPU chip which is used to emulate the
commands from the Controller Board and to modify the displayed message
in the display panel of the FAX machine. For example, if the FAX machine
can not use Legal size paper, the CPU chip on the PIF-L2 board will modify
the displayed message in the FAX machine to eliminate the displayed
selection of the Legal size paper. If the option of the legal size paper is not
displayed, the operator can not choose the legal size paper.
Data Path
The Controllers CPU chip will interpret the print data from the host computer
and will write an imaginary page of data in the Page Memory on the
Controller Board. After a page of print data has been stored in the Page
Memory, the Controller CPU chip will transfer the page of print data to the
CPU chip in the FAX machine will then pass the data directly to the Laser
Unit for printing.

H515 PIF200

1-2

SM

The interface between the CPU chips on the Controller board and the FAX
machine is known as "Video Interface". The function of the Video Interface is
to specify the handshaking procedure and the timing of the data transfer.
Dual Access
Since the printer resources are shared, the FAX machine was designed to
perform multiple tasks.

If the computer attempts to initiate a print task while the FAX machine is busy
receiving a FAX message or printing a report, the print data from the
computer will be received and stored in the Page Memory on the Controller
Board. At the completion of the FAX machine task, the machine will switch
the printer resources of the Controller board to the computer printing task. If
the print data exceeds the Controllers memory size, the print data will be
spooled in the computer (if the computers operating system or the
Application Program contains the Print Spooler Function).
The term "Spooler" is an acronym for Simultaneous Print Operation On Line.
Print Spooler is a computer software program that, when the printer is busy,
will intercept the print data that is on the way to the printer and will redirect it
to a disk or memory. When the printer is no longer busy, the print data will
then be sent to the printer. An advantage of the Print Spooler feature is that
by diverting the entire print job to disk or memory and then coordinating it
with the printer, frees the user from waiting until the print task is completed
before moving to another task.

1.4. POWER DISTRIBUTION


The required +24 volts and the +5 volts are supplied to the Printer Interface
from the FAX machine. The PIF-L2 board will then generate a different +5
volts for the CPU chips located on the PIF-L2 and Controller boards.

SM

H515 PIF200

Printer
Interface Type

If a FAX message is received while the machine is busy printing data from
the computer, the FAX message will be received and the data will be
temporary stored in the SAF memory of the FAX machine. At the completion
of the computer print task, the machine will print the received FAX message
that was stored in the SAF Memory.

The CPU on the PIF-L2 works as a interpreter (emulator) between the printer
controller and the fax machine.
2.2.1. Command and Status Signals
The controller will send various command signals to the FAX machine
through the CPU on the PIF-L2 for requesting hardware status (e.g.,
cassette paper size, jam, toner end) and for specifying a cassette for
printing. The FAX machine will respond to a command signal with a status
signal.
The CPU on the PIF-L2 emulates the commands for FAX machines
hardware specifications (e.g, some models can only have one cassette).

H515 PIF200

SM

2.2.2. Key/Display Emulation


While the operator is using the printer function from the FAX machine, the
FAX machines keys and LCD are connected to the printer controller board
through the CPU on the PIF-L2 board.
Because the capabilities of the controller and the FAX machine are not the
same (for example, Monarch paper is available with the controller, but not
with the FAX machine), the PIF-L2 will emulate the user key operations for
the controller board and the display messages to the FAX machine, so that
the operator cannot select settings that the FAX machine is not capable of
performing.

The controller board controls the print density adjustment using the Level 2
menu. Depending on the density setting sent from the controller board, the
PIF-L2 board will adjust the pulse width of each pixel.

The controler has its own print counter, which is independent from the FAX
machines print counter. The counter value can be checked by printing out
the status sheet. (Described as the "PAGE COUNT" in the CONFIG column.)
To reset this counter to zero, perform the following.
1. Ensure that the paper is loaded and the machine is turned off.
2. Hold down the button on the control panel and turn the main switch back
on. Release the button when the LEDs flash at pattern 2. Press the button again within 2 seconds.
3. Print out the status sheet and confirm that the counter has been reset to
zero.
Note that this procedure does not reset the printer interface output counter
(PRN) of the FAX machine. Reset this counter manually by rewriting the
RAM addresses for this counter.

05 to 64 (H) (5 to 100s) - This setting determines the


machines wait time between pages in printer mode.
A longer setting forces the FAX machine to wait until
the end of printer interface output before printing any
incoming FAX message.
A shorter setting allows the FAX machine to print
incoming FAX messages while printing from a
computer. If the controler takes more than the specfied
time to process a page of data from the host
computer, the FAX machine releases the printer
resources for FAX output.

DIRECT TRANSMISSION

Direct PCFE transmissions will bypass the fax machine DCR/DCMMR and other
fax resources. The fax machine will be used as an external faxmodem, exchanging
protocols with remote devices. The communications have the characterstics provided
by the PC faxing application. The operation is governed from the PC by the faxing
application.
Compression will be MH or MR, dpending on the faxing application; MMR
compression will not be available. ECM will be available only if the faxing software
provides it. The fax machines pre-programmed Quick Dial, Speed Dial, and Group
numbers cannot be used to dial when the fax machine is set for Direct Transmission.
ISDN G4 dialing is not available in Direct Transmission.
Direct transmissions are reported in the fax machine TCR as well as by the PC
faxing application.

DIRECT RECEPTION

Direct PCFE receptions use the fax machine as an external faxmodem to


exchange communication protocols. The data route will bypass the fax machine
processes such as DCR/DCMMR and ECM/SAF memory.
To receive the communication, the PC must be turned on, and the PC faxing
application must be running and set for Auto Receive. The fax machine will notify the
PC when it detects an incoming call. The PC will then have control of the reception.
If the PC is unable to receive, the fax data will be sent to the DCR as in a normal
G3 reception. The message will then be reconstructed and printed by the fax machine.
Direct receptions are reported in the fax machine TCR as well as by the PC
faxing application.

MEMORY TRANSMISSION
A PCFE memory transmission occurs in two stages.

(1) PC to FAX : The PC will send the image data in compressed form, MH or
MR, to the fax machine. The data is passed through the DCR where errors can be
detected and reported back to the PC for retransmission. The data will be routed to and
accumulated in SAF memory. This is reported in the TCR as a reception by the fax
machine.
(2) FAX to REMOTE : When all the information has been accumulated, the fax
machine will send it to the destination as a normal FAX4700L fax transmission.
Depending on the capabilities of the receiver, the data will be sent as MR, MH, or MMR
files and will be passed to either FIFO or ECM memory on its way to the modem. This
transaction is reported as a transmission in the fax machines TCR. The fax machine
can also generate a Communication Result Report or a Communication Failure Report
for PCFE memory transmissions.
Fax TTI is normally added to fax transmissions. Switch 14 allows the TTI to be
turned off to avoid conflicting with the faxing application header.
PCFE adds prefixes similar to the Transfer Request notations (Operators
Manual, page 59) so that Quick Dial, Speed Dial, and Group numbers programmed with
Functions 31, 32, and 33 can be used to dial from the PC :

#
#*
#**

Quick Dial
Speed Dial
Group number

ISDN G4 addresses can be dialed with Quick Dials, Speed Dials and Groups
stored in the fax with G4 destinations. ISDN G4 dialing requires the ISDN Interface
Type 140 option.

SAF Memory Overflow
If the SAF reaches its memory capacity during transmission, the data
accumulated to that point will be sent to the destination as a file. An error report will be
issued by the fax machine.
Memory PC TX File Delete (Fax Function 27)
The PCFE option introduces fax Function 27 specifically to delete PCFE memory
transmission files. (Fax Function 21 deletes standard fax memory files.)

MEMORY RECEPTION

When set for memory reception, the fax machine governs the reception, sending
the demodulated data to SAF or to page memory. PCFE adds the ability to direct the
data to different output locations with User Parameter Switch 14.

to the fax machine printer


to the PCa
to the fax printer and the PCa
a

When the PC is selected as an output location, the PC must be on and running


the faxing application, which should be set for automatic receive or auto answer.
If the output location is the fax machine printer, the image data will follow the
reception path described in the Service Manual section 1.5.2. (including either FIFO or
ECM memory). The demodulated, decompressed data will be sent to page memory for
printing and the demodulated data will be stored in SAF for Substitute Reception, if
Substitute reception is on (User Parameter Switch 05-0).
If the PC is specified as an output location, the path is the same except that the
data stored in SAF will be recompressed with MH or MR technique before it is sent to
the PC. If the PC is unable to receive the data, it will be printed by the fax machine and
deleted from SAF (Substitute Reception).
The fax machine will attempt to resend the message to the PC according to
COMSW 10 and COMSW 12 settings for memory transmission redials. The default
settings are 5 attempts every 5 minutes (05H, 05H).
The PC may be unable to receive the incoming message because the PC has no
power, the faxing application is not activated, or the faxing application is not set to
receive faxes.

SCANNING (Fax Function 17)

PCFE adds fax Function 17 to the set of FAX4700L fax functions. With Function
17, the fax machine will scan a document and send it to the PC, where it will be
received by the faxing application.
Scanning from the fax machine is similar to sending an immediate fax message
from the fax to the PC, except that all basic transmission options (OPTIONSf) are
disabled during the scanner operation. For example, there will be no TTI. Also, the Fine
resolution mode is not available (the setting will default to Detail resolution). Resolution
is not adjustable during multi-page scanning. And, SAF memory will be bypassed.
Scanning will be identified in the TCR (Mode G3T*S, or G3T*D). See Transmit
File 002 in TCR, page 19. An error will terminate the process and generate an error
report.
For the PC, receiving the scanned image is the same as receiving a fax as
described in the faxing application manual.

Notes on Ricoh CFM TWAIN Scanning


The PCFE Type 140 option provides the customer with a TWAIN scanner driver,
RICOH CFM TWAIN. Scanning can be activated from a PC application supporting TWAIN,
for example, Cheyenne Bitware for Ricoh, or CFM ScanWork. The procedure is
described in documentation supplied with the software.
If the TWAIN driver cant be activated the faxing applications Auto Receive
should be turned off.
Basically, the document is set in the fax machine document feeder. The
application is opened, the source is selected from the scan feature, and R ICOH CFM
TWAIN is acquired. When the module is opened, the scan parameters, such as line or
halftone mode, page size format, resolution, brightness are set and scanning can be
performed. The details and limitations are described in the documentation.
The Scan Autoroute Option
When the NEST option is installed, Function 17 will allow dialing network clients
with the autoroute code (#...#). The fax machine must be set for immediate
transmission.

PRINTING

The PC-Fax Expander can use the fax machine as a printer for the PC. Using
the special four-digit fax number, 0 0 0 0, as a destination number, the faxing
application can send a document to the PC-Fax Expander for printing.
The fax machine will receive the data from the PC and send it to the DCR to be
decompressed. It will then be sent to page memory for printing. The memory file will be
deleted when printing is completed.
Unless Substitute Reception is switched off (User Parameter Switch 05-0), the
data will also be routed to the SAF memory. If the fax machine is out of paper or a jam
occurs, the document will be stored in SAF memory and will be printed out after the
problem has been corrected.
Printing will be identified in the TCR (Mode G3R*S or G3R*D). See Receive File
003 in the TCR, page 19.

INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS

If the faxing application has a difficulty in locating the modem, check the fax
machine to ensure that it is on and ready : Turn it off, wait a few seconds, then turn it
back on. Run the MS-DOS diagnostics to review the COM ports and IRQs for possible
conflicts. Review the faxing applications manual for possible solutions.
8.1.

COMMUNICATION PORTS

The PCs serial ports are usually configured as COM1 and COM2. These are
assigned the Interrupt Request numbers (IRQs). IRQs are used to establish priorities
which will prevent conflicts from occurring when two devices want to use the same
resources at the same time.
To determine the availability of COM ports and their IRQs, Windows usersa can
the MS-DOS diagnostics program. Change the directory to the root and type msd :
C:\WIN> cd\
C:\>msd
When the diagnostics menu appears, choose COM Ports.... The next
screen will indicate if the COM ports (1 through 4) are enabled or available. Choose
IRQ to indicate the Interrupt Request status of each COM port. The COM ports must
not have the same IRQ. The PCs serial ports are usually configured with IRQ4 and
IRQ3. For example.

The installation of an internal modem may cause an IRQ conflict to occur


between two ports even if no device is using the second port. The second port may
have to be disabled to overcome this problem.
One solution is to remove the internal modem and re-enable the COM port for
PCFE use. Another solution is to install a third serial port.

What is a Ricoh PC-Fax Expander?


Ricoh Fax With
RS232 PC-FAX
EXPANDER

PC With
Cheyenne
BitWare for Ricoh

It is the physical connection between a Ricoh facsimile machine and a personal computer,
linking the optional RS232 serial port on the fax to the RS232 port on the PC.
With appropriate software, it expands the functionality of both devices, providing the
following features:
PC-Faxing (send and receive)*
Printing
Scanning
Windows TWAIN Scanning
Unlimited autodialing capacity
Can integrate a standalone fax into a Local Area Network (LAN)
It is compatible with IBM PC AT (non PS/2) computers that employ either Microsoft
DOS or Microsoft Windows operating platforms.
Can be integrated into or onto a local area network (LAN) so that all network users
can share the PCFE.
There are two series of Ricoh PC-Fax Expanders available:
Type 80 Series
Includes only the Type 80 interface
Type 100 Series
Includes the Type 100, Type 130, Type 130E, Type 140, and Type 174 interfaces

*In addition to PC compatibility, the Type 100 Series can connect to a Macintosh computer for
single user applications via a serial cable.

following features that come standard with the Type 100 Series:
TWAIN Scanning - An industry standard that allows users to scan a document with a
wide variety of compatible scanning software and hardware. TWAIN is an acronym for
Technology Without Any Important Name.
Windows TWAIN driver/Scanning software - Since the Type 80 does not support the
TWAIN standard, there is no reason to include the respective driver and software.
LAN Connectivity - The Type 100 can be integrated into a local area network, which is
fast becoming a popular means for businesses of many sizes to allow employees to share
different office devices, including printers, files, and fax functions. It is estimated that
85% of corporate PCs are on LANs.

A RICOH PC-Fax Expander provides different solutions than a fax modem does.
An Error Correction Mode (ECM) that automatically corrects corrupted streams of data
before they are received. With this, the receiving unit will check the data for errors prior
to printing the document. If errors are found, it will request that the data be retransmitted.
This process continues until the data is sufficiently received.
The more effective Modified Modified Read compression method versus the more
archaic and less effective Modified Huffman method. Published findings indicate that
Modified Modified Read (MMR) can transmit a document approximately 25% faster than
Modified Huffman (MH) can.
The ability to Scan and "recognize" (also known as Optical Character Recognition)
fax messages and convert them into text documents that the PC can edit and
manipulate. Optional software is required.
Because the RICOH PC-Fax Expander is based on a fax machine with a laser printer
engine and printing capabilities, it can print out received faxes.

Scanning with the PCFE: Manual Scanning

If you want to get a hard copy document into your PC, the Ricoh PCFE can easily scan it in at
200 dpi resolution, using the scanner of the Ricoh fax machine with a PCFE to get the data
entered. This saves much time-consuming keyboarding and allows the hard copy information to
be manipulated before being forwarded.

What is a manual scan?

Although it falls under the category of scanning, the PC-Fax Expander is essentially
sending a fax directly into the Bitware software of the PC, where it can be saved as a
file, manipulated, or faxed.

Before performing a manual scan, you must make sure that you have the Cheyenne Bitware
for Ricoh software program opened and that the "Receive Manager" is activated. The
"Receive Manager", which can be left on permanently, allows for reception of a fax either in
the background (for uninterrupted fax reception while working on the PC) or in the
foreground. An icon at the bottom of the screen will inform you whether it is activated or
not.
To perform a manual scan, press Function 16 on the Ricoh fax machine.
Press "Yes" on the fax.

Place the document in the ADF.


Press "Start" on the fax. The document will be scanned just like a document to being faxed.
When completed, click on "View" on the PC screen.
Click on "View fax".
Now, if you want to fax the document out (perhaps broadcast it to multiple sites), you can
create a custom cover page at this point. Or, you can elect to save the document as a file. If
it is a graphical image, you can save it either as a TIF file, PCX file, or Bitmap file. At this
point you can also reduce or enlarge the image.

TWAIN Scanning

The TWAIN scanning driver enables you to scan from each Windows application that is
equipped with a TWAIN interface.
Here's how to perform TWAIN scanning:

Open Ricoh Bitware software.


Choose "View" and then "File".
Choose "Scan Page".
Click on "Scan". This activates the TWAIN driver.
Place the hard copy document face-down in the automatic document feeder of the Ricoh
fax machine.
At this point, from your PC, you must select either "Line art" or Halftone".
Click on "Scan" on the PC screen. The document will begin scanning into the fax. On the
PC screen, Bitware will measure the size of the document, in bytes, as it is being scanned.
After the scanning is completed, you can either save the document as a file, fax it, or edit
it.

Note: The Ricoh fax machine with the PCFE is a page scanner only, which means that you
can only scan a single page at a time even though the Ricoh fax is equipped with a multiplepage ADF.

CFM TWAIN Scanning with Cheyenne Bitware

CFM TWAIN Scanning is similar to conventional TWAIN scanning though with limited
functionality. For instance, you can only save an image as a Bitmap file, while with TWAIN
scanning it can be saved in a number of different formats.
To perform a CFM TWAIN scan:

From your main window, choose Ricoh CFM TWAIN.


Choose CFM Scanwork.
Select "File" and then "Acquire". This will open the CFM TWAIN driver.
Place the hard copy document face-down in the automatic document feeder
of the Ricoh fax machine.
Click on "Scan" on the PC screen. The document will begin scanning into the fax.
After the scanning is completed, click "Okay".
CFM TWAIN scanning only allows you to save the image as a Bitmap file.

Local Printing: Faxing to Yourself


See what happens when you fax from a PC to the number "0000"!

It's an alternate way to print without changing the printer driver!

Instead of changing the printer driver every time you want to print a document from a client
or PC, you can save yourself those extra steps by faxing the document from the PC to your
Ricoh fax machine equipped with a PCFE. Instead of faxing it out, though, the fax will print
it as if it were receiving an incoming fax.
Here's what you do:
While in an opened application, click "File".
From the File menu, click "Print". The Bitware driver will appear in the "Printer"
typeline.
Click "Okay".
When the Fax Send box appears, type the numbers "0000" in the fax number typeline.
Click "Send".
The document will be sent from the PC to the Ricoh fax machine.

What is NEST?
NEST is an acronym for Novell Embedded Systems Technology, which is a Novell
patent.
It is an alternative routing methodology that lets users route faxes directly to a recipient's
workstation, through a Novell 3.12 or 4.x server, running Cheyenne FaxServe. With this,
the receiving party is always assured of receiving the information.
It uses a numeric code (Nest Autoroute code), typically four digits. The customer enters
the code at the end of the telephone number (preceded and followed by the # ). It is
transmitted attached to the end of the transmitting machines TSI. Its purpose is similar
to that of a post office box number.
The NEST Autoroute code is given to the network during the handshake process. The
FaxServe software directs the information to the appropriate workstation on the LAN.
The benefits include minimizing the number of lost faxes, reducing the possibility of a
confidential fax being read by an unauthorized person(s), and the elimination of dedicated
telephone lines to be installed for direct routing of incoming documents.

Cheyenne FAXSERVE with NEST

The Various Applications With Autoroute Technology

For the different means of sending information via Autoroute, there are specific
configurations:
Standalone PC - The customer, with a Ricoh fax machine and Cheyenne Bitware with
NEST, should be using the fax machine as an external modem. The fax does not have to
have NEST to send Autoroute faxes from the PC, just Bitware with NEST. However, if
the customer is going to fax from the fax machine and not from the PC, then the fax
machine must have the NEST option.
Peer-to-Peer LAN - There is no NEST Autoroute solution. However, by recommending
Cheyenne Bitshare to your customer and connecting a Ricoh fax machine with a PCFE
to a COM port (via an RS232 cable) on one of the client PCs, you would be providing
them with a solution. The fax is seen as an external modem which can then be shared by
all of the PCs on the Peer-to-Peer network to send out faxes. Any incoming faxes will be
received by the fax machine and printed out as a conventional fax.
In the future, Ricoh expects Bitshare to be upgraded to NEST for fax transmission,
allowing a fax machine to support NEST for walk-up use as well as from a PC.
Local Area Networks - With Cheyenne FAXserve with NEST, users will be able to
send and receive Autoroute messages. The LAN can send or receive via a modem or a
Ricoh fax machine with a PCFE, neither of which needs to have NEST. The telephone
number and subaddress are forwarded to the network by the modem or fax machine. The
decoding of the Autoroute address, which takes place during the fax handshake period, is

SM

55

PC FAX Expander Type 140

FAX Expander
Type 140

Automatically and accurately routes incoming faxes to the appropriate recipients on a


network, whether the device is a PC, printer, copier, or a fax machine.
When FAXserve receives an incoming fax, it interprets the identification number and
routes the fax directly to the recipient's PC or other device according to the
preprogrammed ID number.
Its automatic routing of incoming documents minimizes the number of lost faxes and
reduces the possibility of a confidential fax being seen by unauthorized personnel.

performed by the LAN fax software. The software forwards the fax to the respective
client. The fax transmission takes place as if it were occurring between two fax
machines.
In a Netware LAN application, an autoroute fax can be forwarded to e-mail. Faxes
received can be viewed on the Bitware viewer or the e-mail viewer. This can be very
beneficial to customers who want only one user interface. The fax machine with a PCFE
can connect, via the RS232 cable, to a com port on the file server. This is a viable
solution for small offices with perhaps 20 to 30 people on the network where the file
server is in the immediate work area. In a corporate setting, the file server is generally
farther away. To connect multiple fax machines, a multiport serial board and fax server
are required. Because of the close proximity of the fax server, long serial cables running
throughout the work area are eliminated.

Scan Autoroute - With NEST incorporated into Ricoh's fax products, users can scan a
document into a fax machine and have it automatically routed to an address on a
network. Now users can send hard-copy documents via a fax machine and take
advantage of NEST autorouting features. This function can be supported by a stand-alone
configuration or in a LAN configuration.

The procedure for transmitting a document using the NEST Autoroute option is very
similar to the conventional means of transmitting a document. Just follow these steps:
You must first know the respective passcode or subaddress (again, it's usually four
digits) of the intended recipient. Let's say the subaddress is 1234.
Whether you are faxing from within an application or not, the dialing procedure is the
same. You dial the intended recipient's fax number. Let's say it is 555-1515.
Then you dial a star (*), which is typically found on the lower left-hand corner of a
telephone keypad.
Now dial the subaddress. In this case, it is 1234.
Once again, dial the star (*), so that two stars frame the subaddress.
Now send your document by either pushing the "Start" key on the fax machine or by
clicking on "Send" on your PC.

Your document will now be faxed to the dialed fax number and then automatically onto
the assigned subaddress, being received directly into the recipient's PC, printer, or fax.

Multiple users can benefit from a RICOH PC-Fax Expander as it can be used as a shared
device within a Local Area Network (LAN). Here are some of those benefits:
Multiple users can fax directly from a PC and, utilizing the modem of the Ricoh fax
machine, out to the intended recipient. This eliminates the need for the user to leave
the desk and walk over to the fax machine, as well as eliminating the extra step of
printing the document in order to fax it via the automatic document feeder.
All users have access to an unlimited number of remote fax locations to transmit or
broadcast to, thanks to the memory storage capacity of their PCs. Included in this
storage are Quick Dial keys, Speed Dial keys, and Group Dial keys. This is in contrast
to the limited memory capacity typically found on most standalone fax machines.
Multiple users now have access to a departmental scanner for fast and convenient
input of hard-copy documents.
All users have access to a primary or secondary laser printer. This is beneficial
should any alternate standalone printer be out of service or busy printing a large job.
All users also have convenient access to a secondary plain-paper copier within their
department. This is beneficial should the primary copier be out of service or engaged
in a large copying job. Users can even make multiple copies if required, just as a
conventional copier would allow.
If a company was to purchase all of these office tools separately for each individual
on a LAN, the cost would be astronomical and the required office and desk space
would be overwhelming. With the RICOH PC-Fax Expander, though, all users should
share one multifunctional tool that would effectively serve their daily business needs.

All clients on the LAN must be assigned a four-digit passcode or subaddress by the
Program Administrator.
Any party sending a fax must be informed of this assigned passcode for the document
to be automatically routed on the receiving end.
In the PC Setup Dialog Box on the PC, select automatic answering, so that incoming
faxes will be received without operator assistance.
The benefits of receiving incoming documents directly to the appropriate recipient
include:

Keeping the received document from lying stray on a fax machine catch tray where it
is open for all eyes to see. This can prove detrimental in an environment where
sensitive information is communicated.

Should the fax machine itself run out of toner or paper, and the fax memory be filled
to capacity, there will always be sufficient memory in the PC to successfully receive
the document. This is especially true for environments where documents consisting
of high graphical content are communicated. With this, no important incoming
documents will ever be lost.

Glossary of Terms

The following list will introduce you to some of the most common terms you will encounter
during the selling process and use of a RICOH PC-Fax Expander and its corresponding
Cheyenne BitWare for Ricoh software.
Application Software - A program or software group of programs used for a specific task, such
as word processing, accounting, desktop publishing, etc.
Background Operation - The ability to transmit or receive a fax form a PC while the user
continues -- without interruption -- working on the PC.
Binary File Transfer - The ability of two equally-equipped computer systems to transmit data
and image files in their original format rather than a series of digitized dots.
Emulation - A printer operational mode in which one type and brand of printer connected or
networked with a PC mimics the operation of another type and brand of printer. This allows it to
print data form an application compatible with the printer it is emulating.
Fax Server - A dedicated PC that provides other PCs on a network with fax capabilities. It is the
only PC directly connected to the department fax machine.
Inbound Routing - The process of relaying a fax received at a LAN fax server past the server to
the specific intended recipient's mailbox or output device (copier, printer, fax, etc.).
Modem - An abbreviation for MOdulator/DEModulator. A communication device which alters
data in digital form suitable for transmission over telephone lines. It then carries out the same
process in reverse when receiving data.
Multitasking - The ability to perform two or more functions simultaneously. For example, scan
an image into a PC while that same PC is printing a job.
NEST (Novell Embedded System Technology) - Novell's response to Microsoft's MS At-Work

PC FAX Expander Type 140

APPENDIX B
Class 1 and Class 2 modem operation.
Class 1 and Class 2 are EIA (Electronics Industry Association) standards which specify
the condition of communications between PCs and facsimile machines.
How do they affect operation?
In this model, the practical difference is that Class 2 operation allows memory
transmission and reception, while Class 1 operation allows only direct transmission and
reception.
If the machine is set up for Class 1 communication, the customer will not be able to use
the fax machines SAF memory capabilities.
In receive mode, when Class 2 operation is selected, the customer can choose to:
print a received fax message,
store it in SAF (Store and Forward) memory, then print it or
store it in SAF memory then send it to the PC.
In transmit mode, when Class 2 operation is selected, memory transmission is
available.
For more details, see Memory Transmission, section 4.3 and Memory Reception,
section 4.4 in this manual.
Additional background information
The Class 1 and Class 2 interfaces are standards for PC-fax adapters. They define
which Group 3, T.30 protocol functions the PC-facsimile device is capable of
performing.
In Class 1 operation, the PC-fax adapter provides an interface between the PC and the
PSTN, allowing basic capabilities such as modem functions for sending fax data,
handshaking, tone generation and tone detection. In Class 1 operation, data is sent
through the fax machines modem, but cannot be stored in its SAF memory, so memory
transmit and receive features are not available.
In Class 2 operation, the fax expander hardware has more functionality. Additional
protocol signals are exchanged between the PC the fax adapter. This allows access to
the SAF memory in the fax machine.

OVERALL MACHINE CONTROL

The MFCE contains most of the logical components for overall system control, and
direct interfaces to the IC cards, an RS232C interface, a G4 interface (CiG4-SV)
and a optional G3 interface (SG3-V.34).
The MFDU has interfaces to the power supply, sensors, drive components, and
optional equipment.
The RS232C interface may not be available in some models.
There are two cpus in the machine: the main cpu (SCP) on the MFCE and the
energy saver cpu on the MFDU. In energy saver mode, the main CPU switches off
and the energy saver CPU takes over.
The 2 MB (16Mbit) flash ROM contains the system software, which can be updated
through an IC card slot or from the remote control center using RDS.
The CGROM (Character Generation ROM) contains all the character fonts used on
the display and in reports.
The Panasonic MN195003MFL modem is used for all the communications (V.34,
V.17, V.29, V.27ter., and V.21). The 512kB flash ROM contains the modem
program.
The 2 MB DRAM is used for the SAF memory, ECM buffer memory, work area,
and page memory. The SAF memory can be extended by 2, 4, or 80 MB with an IC
memory card or a hard disk.
The 256 kB SRAM contains the user and system parameters. This can be
upgraded by 512 kB with the function upgrade card. These SRAMs are battery
backed-up.
The SRAMs in the IC cards are battery backed up, in case the machine is turned
off or the machine goes into the 2-watt energy saver. However, the data in
these SRAMs are not guaranteed if the card is disconnected from the machine.

CAUTION
When ever the Fax On Demand card or Function Upgrade Card needs to be
removed for using the service tool, follow the instructions in section 3.3.9
to avoid any data loss.

SEP/SUB CODING

2.1 SEP/SUB CODING


OVERVIEW.

SEP (Selective Polling): This signal informs the other terminal of the polling ID to enable secured
(ID) polling.
PWD (Password): This signal informs the other terminal of the password to enable stored ID
override.
SUB (Sub-address): This signal informs the other terminal of the confidential ID to enable
confidential transmission.
SID (Sender ID): This signal informs the other terminal of the sender ID to enable confidential ID
override.

The ITU-T recommendation only clarifies the requirements for the transmitting terminal, and does
not specify the requirements for the receiving terminal. How the receiving terminal should treat
these signals depends on the manufacturer.
Note: Up to 20 digits or characters can be sent in a SEP, PWD,SUB or SID Frame.

SM

2-1

H551

Detailed
Descriptions

ITU-T introduced the following protocol signals in the T.30 recommendation in 1996. These signals
enable confidential transmission and secured polling between machines produced by different
manufacturers.

CFR

H551D501.wmf

SEP Signal:
When the Rx terminal receives the SEP signal with the NSC or DTC signal, the Rx
terminal switches over to secured polling transmission using the SEP ID. The SEP
(Selective polling) signal must contain four digits as an ID.
The Rx terminal automatically disconnects the line when any of the following
conditions occurs (error code 0-15).
When the SEP ID is other than four digits.
When anything other than numbers is included in the ID.
The communication becomes free polling when the SEP ID programmed is 0000.
PWD Signal:
When the PWD (password) signal is transmitted together with the SEP signal, the
PWD programmed is used as an ID code for stored ID override.
However, PWD reception is disabled for this machine at the factory setting.
NOTE: The machine automatically disconnects the line when it receives a PWD
signal. To enable PWD reception, the communication bit switch 17 bit 2
must be switched on.
Cross reference: Section 4.2 Bit switches
Communication bit switch 17 bit 0: SEP signal reception.
Communication bit switch 17 bit 2: PWD/SID reception.

SUB Signal:
The SUB (sub-address) signal transmitted from the Tx terminal contains a
confidential ID. A stored message can be printed using the SUB ID as confidential
ID override.
The SUB ID must contain four digits. The receiving terminal automatically
disconnects the line when any of the following conditions occurs (error code 0-15).
When the SUB ID is other than four digits.
When anything other than numbers is included in the ID.
When a confidential ID is not programmed in the Rx terminal and when the
transmitted SUB ID is 0000.
A stored message can be printed using the (normal) confidential ID stored in the
machine when the SUB ID sent from the transmitter is 0000.
SID Signal:
SID reception is disabled for this machine.
NOTE: This machine automatically disconnects the line when it receives a SID
signal. To enable SDI reception, communication bit switch 17 bit 2 must be
switched on.
Cross reference: Section 4.2 Bit switches

JBIG COMPRESSION

2.2 JBIG COMPRESSION


JBIG (Joint Bi-Level Image Coding Expert Group) is a working group which
consists of members of ITU-T and ISO. The JBIG compression method allows data
compression of approximately 1.2 to 1.3 times the MMR method in text mode, and
2 to 10 times in halftone mode.
JBIG compression is only available in the optional G3 unit.
JBIG compression is disabled when any of the following conditions occurs.
When JBIG compression is turned off by communication bit switch 00.
When ECM is turned off by communication bit switch 01.
When the receiving terminal does not have the JBIG feature.
When the receiving terminal does not have the ECM feature.
There are two modes for JBIG compression;
Standard mode: the transmitted data block consists of 128 lines.
Optional mode: the transmitted data block consists of one page (transmission
speed with this mode is faster).
This machine supports both modes for transmission and reception. Which mode to
use for communication is determined during handshaking.
Cross reference: Section 4.2 Bit switches
Communication bit switch 00 bit 5: JBIG reception mode
0: Standard mode only
1: Standard mode and optional mode (default)
Communication bit switch 00 bit 6: Priority of JBIG mode used for transmission
0: Standard mode
1: Optional mode (default)
Data Compression
JBIG compressed data is called the Bi-level Image Entity (BIE).
The BIE consists of a header frame (BIH: Bi-level Image Header) and compressed
data frame (BID: Bi-level Image Data).
The BIH frame contains information such as main scan width (pixels), sub scan
length, and compression mode (standard/optional) used.
The BID frame contains the actual data.

MEMORY RECEPTION CONDITIONS

User parameter switch 05 bit 1 allows the user to select how to treat an incoming
message that is without RTI or CSI.
User parameter switch 05 bit 1:
Memory reception if no RTI or CSI received 0: Possible, 1: Impossible
If 0 is selected, the machine receives all message regardless of RTI and CSI.
When this is set to 1 (default setting), the following bit switch works in combination
with the user parameter setting.
System bit switch 11 bit 6:
Conditions for memory reception if no RTI or CSI is received.
0: Memory reception is available only when RTI or CSI is received.
1: Memory reception is always available unless there is a mechanical (printer)
error.
The default setting is set to 1.
The default setting means that if the printer is working, all messages will be
received, regardless of the user parameter setting. But the user can decide
whether or not to print messages that have no RTI or CSI. However, when there is
a mechanical error in the printer, the machine rejects such a message because no
trace of the sender will be stored in the machine.
This switch has been added from the LFO model.

Rev. 11/16/98

When the machine is initially used only with the PSTN, the line type programmed with phone
numbers in Quick Dials and the Speed Dials is stored as PSTN G3.
Later, if the line connection is changed so that G3 is to be used only with the ISDN, the
communication port for all stored Quick and Speed Dials must be changed to ISDN G3.
This feature allows the communication mode and port to be changed for all stored numbers at
once.
Procedure:
1) Change the data in the following RAM addresses.
4B5846(H) - Current line type setting.
4B5847(H) - Line type to be used after this procedure.
The default setting for the above addresses are FF(H).
2) Turn the main switch off and on.
Then, the machine checks all phone numbers stored in Quick Dials, Speed
Dials, AI Redial, and Forwarding Stations. If the communication mode and the
port setting for a number is the same as specified for the current setting in
the above address, the machine changes these to the new setting.
3) After this procedure, the data programmed automatically returns to FF(H).
Setting:
Bit 0 and 1: Communication mode
Bit
1 0 Setting
0 0 G3
0 1 G4
1 0 Not used
Bit 2 to 4: Communication port

(This setting can be used only when an optional G3 or G4 unit is installed in
the machine.)
Other settings - Not used
Bit 5 to 7: Not used
Example:
If you wish to change the port setting from PSTN G3 to ISDN G3,
change the data to 00(H) (0000 0000) in the address 4B5846(H)
change the data to 0C(H) (00001100) in the address 4B5847(H)
NOTE: Do not use this procedure if there are any files stored in the memory

4.1.26 SAVING DATA PROGRAMMED IN IC CARDS


If the machine has an optional Function Upgrade Card or Fax On Demand Card,
the card has to be removed from the IC card slot before performing any of the
following procedures:
Downloading/uploading software
Replacing the MFCE
Replacing the MFDU or other components
Also in this case, System Switch 16 - bit 0 should have been set to 1 as explained
in section 3.3.9, to prevent the data inside the IC card from being initialized
accidentally.
So, do the following procedures to prevent data from being erased from the card.
NOTE: The data in the SAF memory card or hard disk will be erased if the card or
the hard disk interface is removed from the machine.

1. Make sure that System Switch 16 - bit 0 is set to 1, and that the battery switch
on the IC card is turned on.
2. Turn off the machine, and remove the IC card.
3. Connect the data copy tool and data copy board or MFCE, and do the required
procedure as explained in section 4.1.20 to 4.1.25.
4. After the downloading/uploading operation has been finished, turn off the

COMMENTS
1: Instead of the personal code, the following data
are listed on the TCR for each analog G3
communication.
e.g. 32 V34 288 M 01 03 00 02
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
1) First number: Symbol rate used
(for example, 32 means 3200 bps)
2) Second number: Used modem type
3) Third number: Final modem rate
(for example, 288 means 28.8 kbps)
4) Letter M or L:
An M indicates that is error rate, and an L
indicates Rx level. This is selected by the bit 3
setting below.
5-6) Fifth and sixth numbers: Line quality data.
If an error rate is selected (when M is indicated),
a larger number means more errors.
If Rx level is selected (when L is indicated), the
left hand figure is the high byte and the right hand
figure is the low byte.
7) Seventh number (rx mode only): Total number
of error lines that occurred during non-ECM
reception.
8) Eighth number (rx mode only): Total number of
burst error lines that occurred during non-ECM
reception.
The seventh and eighth numbers are fixed at 00
for transmission records and ECM reception
records.
How to calculate the rx level listed on the Journal
Example: 32 V34 288 L 01 A0 00 00
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.

H551

In the above example, the decimal value of N (= 01A0 [H]) is 416.


So, the actual rx level is 416/-16 = -26 dB
Line quality data output
This bit determines the data type to be printed on
method

computer, there may be a delay in receiving page
data after the local machine accepts set-up data
and sends CFR. This is outside the T.30
recommendation. But, if this delay occurs, set this
bit to 1 to give the sending machine more time to
send data.
Refer to error code 0-20.

If bit 0 or bit 2 is set to 1, the functions of the following RAM addresses are
changed.
480608 (if bit 0 = 1) or 480638 (if bit 2 = 1): tolerance for on or off state
duration (%), and number of cycles required for detection, coded as in address
480633.
48060B (if bit 0 = 1) or 48063B (if bit 2 = 1): on time, hex code (unit = 20 ms)
48060C (if bit 0 = 1) or 48063C(if bit 2 = 1): off time, hex code (unit = 20 ms)
3. Pulse dial parameters (addresses 48064A to 48064F) are the values for 10
pps. 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 time
specified 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 N480652/480654 dBm
Low frequency tone: - 0.5 x N480652/480654 + N480653) dBm

DEDICATED TRANSMISSION PARAMETERS

Each Quick Dial Key and Speed Dial Code has four bytes of programmable
parameters allocated to it. If transmissions to a particular machine often experience
problems, store that terminal's fax number as a Quick Dial or Speed Dial, and
adjust the parameters allocated to that number.
The programming procedure will be explained first. Then, the four bytes will be
described.

4.4.1 PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE


1. Set bit 3 of System Bit Switch 04 to 1.
2. Either use Function 31 (for a Quick Dial number) or Function 32 (for a Speed
Dial number)
Example: Change the Parameters in Quick Dial 10.
1.    
4. Press Quick Dial key 10.
NOTE: When selecting Speed Dial 10 with Function 32, press   at the ten
key at the ten key pad.
5. Press  four times.
6. The settings for byte 0 are now displayed. Press a number from 0 to 7
corresponding to the bit that you wish to change.
Example: Change bit 7 to 1: Press 7
7. To scroll through the parameter bytes, either:
Select the next byte:
or
Select the previous byte:

until the correct byte is displayed. Then go back to step 6.


8. After the setting is changed, press  .
9. To finish, press  .
10. After finishing, reset bit 3 of System Bit Switch 04 to 0.

COMMENTS
If communication with a particular remote
terminal often contains errors, the signal level
may be inappropriate. Adjust the Tx level for
communications with that terminal until the results
are better.
When disabled, NCU parameter 01 setting is
used.
Note: Do not use settings other than listed on the
left.
Use a higher setting if there is signal loss at
higher frequencies because of the length of wire
between the modem and the telephone exchange
when calling the number stored in this
Quick/Speed Dial.
Also, try using the cable equalizer if one or more
of the following symptoms occurs.
Communication error with error codes such as
0-20, 0-23, etc.
Modem rate fallback occurs frequently.

COMMENTS
The machine uses inch-based resolutions for
scanning. If inch only is selected, the printed
copy may be slightly distorted at the other end if
that machine uses mm-based resolutions.

(0, 1): Use this setting if echoes on the line are


interfering with the set-up protocol at the start of
transmission. The machine will then wait for the
second DIS or NSF before sending DCS or NSS.

Do not change the setting.


This bit determines the capabilities that are
informed to the other terminal during
transmission.

For example, if ECM is switched on but is not


wanted when sending to a particular terminal, use
the setting of (0, 0).

H132D551.WMF

Procedure
Scanned documents are sent as electronic mail (e-mail).
All messages are sent using memory transmission. When a backup mail address
(Bcc address) has been stored with the NIC Fax user settings, the machine also
sends all the messages to the Bcc address.
All e-mail transmissions are controlled using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
procedures. There must be an SMTP server on the same LAN as the sending
machine, or the machine will not be able to send e-mail (it is not necessary to set
up an SMTP account).

Data Formats
The scanned data is converted into a DCX or TIFF-F formatted file (only MH
compression can be used). The file format depends on a user setting.
The fields of the e-mail and their contents are as follows:

NOTE: 1) The message no. will exist in the subject field if no TSI or RTI is
registered.
2) The label of the personal code and RTI will appear at the end of the
subject field, if the personal code is entered.
3) The file number can be checked on the TCR/Journal.

Errors
An error report will be generated if an error occurs during the communication
between the machine and the SMTP server. However, it is possible that the sender
will not receive notice of errors that occurred between the SMTP server and the
receiving terminal.
The interval between attempts to resend mail to the same destination when an
SMTP error occurs is the same as for G3 fax transmission.
NOTE: The interval programmed with LAN switch 0A determines the minimum
required interval between mail transmissions when there are no errors.
For what happens when an error occurs when the machine is receiving, refer to the
Mail Reception section.

Results
The transmission result is listed on the TCR/Journal. The file list for e-mail
transmissions is created in the same way as for G3 memory transmissions. The
TTI for the mail message includes the word Mail at the head of the information in
the TTI column.

Selectable Options
1. With the default settings, the scan resolution can be either standard or detail.
Inch-mm conversion before tx depends on the machine setting. Detail
resolution will be used if Fine resolution, unless Fine resolution is enabled with
LAN bit switch 07.
2. The requirements for originals (document size, scan width, and memory
capacity) are the same as for G3 fax memory tx.
3. The default compression is TIFF-F format.
4. The following options are available when sending a fax by e-mail:
Personal code

When optional features which are not available for e-mailing are selected, the
machine will work as follows.
Example: Using personal code with confidential ID in a broadcasting operation

However, if the e-mail addresses are input first, then the personal code, then the
G3 addresses, the mail will be sent to all addresses. However, personal code with
confidential ID will only be used for the G3 transmissions in the broadcast.

LAN
H132D562.WMF

Procedure
There must be a POP (Post Office Protocol) server on the same LAN as the NIC
fax, or it cannot receive e-mail, and an account must be set up for the fax machine.
The machine calls the POP server at a regular interval to check if any e-mail has
come in (three minutes is the default interval; the interval can be adjusted from 1
minute to 60 minutes in one-minute steps).
If the POP server is holding several e-mails for the NIC fax, the machine picks up
the e-mails one at a time.
E-mail reception is done in accordance with Post Office Protocol version 3.0
(POP3) procedures.

Errors during reception


Errors during POP3 procedures
When an error of this type occurs, the machine stops receiving and the message
stays in the server. After a certain interval, the machine calls the server and starts
to receive, starting with the interrupted message. If there is an incompletely
received message in the machines memory, it will be erased.
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 out and
sends information about the error by e-mail to the senders address (in the From
or Reply-to field of the message). If there is an incompletely received message in
the machines memory, it will be erased.
The machine prints an error message when it fails to send a message after a
certain number of attempts.

Abnormal files are as follows:

Content-Transfer-Encoding

Supported Types
Multipart/mixed, text/plain, message/rfc822 Image/tiff,
application/octet-stream
US-ASCII, ISO-2022-JP, Others are determined to be
US-ASCII.
Base 64, 7-bit, 8-bit

2. MIME decoding error


3. The machine cannot recognize the file format as DCX or TIFF-F.
4. The resolution, document size, or compressed type cannot be accepted.

Remaining SAF capacity error


The machine calls the server but does not receive e-mail if the remaining SAF
capacity is less than a certain value (the value depends on LAN Switch 08). The email will be received when the SAF capacity increases (for example, after
substitute reception files have been printed).
Also, if the capacity of the SAF memory goes down to zero during reception, the
machine acts in the same way as when receiving an abnormal file (refer to
Abnormal files).

Paper Size
1. The maximum paper width for a received message depends on the paper size
in the machine (max. B4). An error will occur if the received message is larger
than B4 width. The procedure is the same as when receiving an abnormal file.
2. When the machine receives a B4 document but there is only A4 and B5 paper
in the machine, the machine reduces the data automatically and prints it on A4
paper.

Printing
1. The machine detects whether it has received a DCX or a TIFF-F format image,
then prints it.
2. Text in either US-ASCII or ISO-2022-JP format can be printed. When a line of
text is longer than the paper width, the excess data will be deleted.

Multi-part
When a multi-part e-mail message contains several text parts and binary files, the
message will be divided with boundaries. Then, each part will be printed
separately. If the machine cannot determine where the boundary is, it will generate
an error report and print, then send error information e-mail back to the sender.

H132D552.WMF

The machine can send the same message to several destinations in one operation.
Some destinations can be G3 fax and some can be e-mail. For the G3 fax
transmissions, each address has to be dialed separately. However, all the e-mail
addresses can be sent with the message to the SMTP server in one transmission.
The SMTP server then sends the message to each destination.
The following example for broadcasting to three e-mail destinations and two G3 fax
destinations shows how G3 fax messages are each sent individually, but the e-mail
destinations are all sent to the server at the same time.
Order of inputting the addresses at the operation panel
G3 fax (1) - mail (1) - G3 fax (2) - mail (2) - mail (3)
Order of transmission
G3 fax (1) - mail (1), (2), (3) - G3 fax (2)
The SMTP server cannot broadcast the message if a feature included individual
information for each terminal in the transmitted data (such as label insertion). If this
type of feature was used, the machine sends the e-mails to the server one by one.
With the default settings, up to 200 destinations (including both e-mail and G3 fax)
can be dialed for one broadcast. The maximum number of e-mail destinations in a
broadcast depends on the mail servers limits.

Broadcasting will not work if batch transmission is disabled with user switch 06.

The requesting terminal dials the transfer station, and requests it to transfer the
message to end receivers stored as quick dials, speed dials, and group dials in the
transfer station. A quick dial number is indicated by a # and two digits, a speed
dial is indicated by #, *, and two or three digits, and a group dial is indicated by
# and ** and two digits.
The machine can request transfer to a maximum of 30 destinations for each
transfer station. The destinations can be a mixture of e-mail and G3 fax addresses.
The transfer request goes to the SMTP server as an e-mail message. The
quick/speed/group dials (and the ID code) are included in the mail body field of the
e-mail as text. The message arrives at the POP server of the transfer station.
The transfer station sends the message to the end receivers (see Operation at the
Transfer Station for details).
The transfer station sends back a transfer result report. The original may be
attached to the transfer result report, depending on the G3 settings of the fax
machine. For transmissions to e-mail end receivers, the transfer result report only
indicates whether the message was successfully transmitted from the transfer
station to its SMTP server.
When making a transfer request, the machine can send the same message to
more than one transfer station (each transfer station may transfer the message to a
maximum of 30 destinations). All addresses dialed by the requesting terminal must
be transfer stations.

The requesting terminal dials the transfer station, and requests it to transfer the
message to end receivers stored as quick dials, speed dials, and group dials in the
transfer station.
Using NSF, the machine sends an ID code and the machines own telephone
number. Up to 30 end receivers can be requested.
End receiver destinations can also be selected using tonal signals, in the same
way as for other recent fax models. E-mail address can also be selected in this
way, as end receivers and as the destination for receiving the transfer result report.
The receiving NIC fax machine receives the transfer request on the PSTN
connection. It then handles the transfer request in the same way as explained in
Request by Mail.

The NIC fax polls the POP server at regular intervals, as mentioned in a previous
section. If a transfer request has come in, it receives the e-mail from the server,
then sends the message to the end receivers by G3 fax or e-mail, depending on
the type of end receiver address.
The NIC fax sends each G3 fax as an individual transmission. However, for the email, the NIC fax sends the message to the SMTP server once, and the server
broadcasts the message to the e-mail end receivers one at a time.
The transfer station sends back a transfer result report to the address in the From
field of the received e-mail. If an administrator's address is registered, the result
report is also sent to that address. The original may be attached to the transfer
result report, depending on the G3 settings of the fax machine.
For transmission to e-mail end receivers, the transfer result report only indicates
whether the message was successfully transmitted from the transfer station to its
SMTP server (the transfer station does not know what happens to the messages
on the way to the end receivers).
If a communication error occurs between the machine and SMTP server during
result report transmission, the machine prints the result report.

1. The requesting terminal requests transfer station A to transfer a message.
2. Transfer station A passes the request on to transfer station B.
3. Transfer station A sends a transfer result report back to the requesting
machine.
4. Transfer station B passes the request on to transfer station C.
5. Transfer station B sends a transfer result report back to transfer station A.
6. The broadcasting station (transfer station C) sends the message to its SMTP
server (e-mails) and to the G3 destinations.
7. Transfer station C sends a transfer result report to transfer station B (for e-mail
end receivers, it only indicates whether the message was successfully passed
on to transfer station Cs SMTP server).
NOTE: The requesting machines own telephone number is not included in a
transfer request message by e-mail, so the transfer station at the end of
the chain cannot send a report back directly to the requesting machine.
The requesting terminal only receives a report of how the communication
went between transfer stations A and B.

4) When the PC fax application dials 0000, the NIC Fax prints the message
instead of transmitting it (this is the 200-dpi printing feature, also known as
Convenient Printing).
5) Communication failure reports and TCRs/Journals printed by the machine
cannot be delivered to a PC.
6) The range of client PCs that can use the NIC Fax can be controlled by
programming the Access Control and Access Mask parameters. These are
user and service adjustments. If 0.0.0.0 is stored as the Access Control
setting, any PC can use the NIC Fax for a LAN Fax operation.
7) Two PCs can connect to the machine at the same time. The third PC will
receive a busy signal from the machine.

NOTE: The TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) was developed by Aldus and
Microsoft as an extensible common file format for the exchange of image
files.
In order to increase the portability of TIFF files, various classes of TIFF
files have been defined in order to clarify the requirements of readers and
writers to ensure compatibility.
Class F TIFF files are used for the exchange of fax images and are a
subset of Class B (bi-level or black & white) TIFF images.
MH, MR, and MMR compressions can be used to make a TIFF-F file. This

rejects the data and replies with an error email notification.
If the AT command is not received from the PC
application within this duration, the machine
times out.
The LAST command is sent to the POP server
by the machine during POP procedures. The
reply from the server informs the machine which
e-mail to start receiving from.
If POP server responds abnormally, set the bit to
1. The machine will always receive from the first
e-mail on the list in the server. This will be
necessary if the POP server still contains old email that cannot be deleted.
This bit is only effective if the encoding type is
Quoted-Printable.
When this bit is set to 0, the e-mail is deciphered
as one-byte codes (suitable for some European
non-ASCII characters). When this bit is set to 1,
it is deciphered as Shift-JIS code (for Japanese
text). If Japanese text is received with this bit at
0, it will be deciphered as one-byte code and will
appear to be a string of non-ASCII European
characters.

LAN TEST FUNCTION

5.2

LAN TEST FUNCTION

5.2.1 LINK CHECK


A machine and a hub send and receive link pulses to each other to check the
connections to the LAN at regular intervals. The machine lights the green LED on
the NIC board when the pulses are received successfully.
When the link check is performed, the machine checks for a link pulse. The
machine indicates OK on the display when the link pulse is received successfully.
Check the LEDs both on the NIC board and on the hub to see if the connection
through the LAN cable is active. This is because the link check uses receiving data.
NOTE: While the machine is on, the orange LED on the NIC board is lit if it has
been initialized successfully.

When the loop back test is performed, the FCE sends test data to the NIC board.
The data is sent back to the FCE using the loop-back function of the NIC. The FCE
checks if the test data is the same as the data returned from the NIC. When they
are the same, the FCE indicates RESULT = 0000 on the display, which means
that the NIC board test was successful.
NOTE: The machine does not send test data out of the machine on the LAN during
the loop back test. The result is indicated even if the LAN cable is not
connected to the NIC board.
When the NIC board is defective, one of the error codes in the following table will
appear. In this case, re-install the NIC board and/or cable, or change them if the
loop back test is still not successful.

SYMPTOMS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

5.4 SYMPTOMS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING


Internet fax machines, LAN fax transmission, and the PC utilities use procedures
which are not the same as the fax machines we are familiar with. The following can
help solve problems in the field.

5.4.1 INTERNET FAX


Decoding error during reception (1)

- Possible Cause When the machine receives e-mail with attached files that are not in TIFF-F or
DCX format, a decoding error occurs because the machine cannot decode the
files. The error occurs even if a text file is attached.
- Explanation/Action ITU-T and IETF require a TIFF-F formatted file to be attached for an internet fax
message. The sender should send the e-mail again, with a TIFF-F formatted file
attached.
Decoding error during reception (2)

- Possible Cause The received e-mail has an attached file that has an unsupported resolution or
page size. Messages of up to A4 width and up to 200 x 200 dpi resolution can be
received.
- Explanation/Action ITU-T and IETF specify a maximum size of A4 width for an attached file. The
sender should resend the e-mail, with an A4 size file attached. The paper size is
not negotiated during Internet fax handshaking.

H551

5-14

SM

SYMPTOMS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The machine can send e-mail even though the host name and domain name
are not stored in the machines LAN parameters

- Possible Cause During transmission to the SMTP server, the host name and domain name stored
in the machine are used in the argument of the SMTP HELO command.
However, the SMTP server can receive the "HELO" command without the
argument, so the machine does not check whether the host name and domain
name are stored.
- Explanation/Action At installation, the host name and the domain name are not required if they are
unknown at the time. If incorrect names are stored, the SMTP server does not
accept the HELO command and the machine cannot send e-mail to the SMTP
server. Then, the machine fails to resend the correct number of times and prints
an e-mail transmission error report.
An error occurs in the first part of the e-mail transmission procedure

- Explanation/Action When an e-mail address is sent to the SMTP server without a domain name (the
address is blank is after the @ symbol), the server searches for the same user
name in the local server. The server fails to find the user name then the
transmission is rejected in accordance with SMTP procedures. This is done in the
first part of the e-mail transmission SMTP procedure.
NOTE: The following describes what happens if the domain name of the
destination is correct but the user name of the destination is incorrect.
1) When an e-mail with a domain name which is different from the local
domain name is sent, the SMTP server accepts the transmission and
forwards the e-mail to the next SMTP server even if the user name of
the e-mail address is incorrect. The local SMTP server cannot check
user names in a remote server.
2) After that, the destination SMTP server checks the user name to see if
that user has an account with the server. If there is no account, the
server creates an e-mail error report and sends it to the sender, and this
report is printed by the machine.

- Possible Cause There is no domain name in the destination e-mail address (e.g., 123 is used
instead of an e-mail address).

SYMPTOMS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

LAN parameters are not listed on the system parameter list after the NIC
board is replaced

- Possible Cause Poor electrical contact between NIC board and machine
- Explanation/Action When the machine does not recognize the NIC board, the NIC board does not
initialized and LAN parameters are not listed. The NIC board should be installed
again.
A communication error is indicated on the operation panel because the email server is down

- Possible Cause The machine attempts to receive e-mail from the POP server by POP procedures
at a regular interval. When the machine cannot contact the server, a POP error
occurs in the machine. A POP error also occurs if the LAN cable is pulled out of
the machine or if the network is down.
When there is a POP error, a communication error is indicated on the display and
the communication error LED is lit.
- Explanation/Action The machine recovers from a POP error when either the next POP procedure or
the next SMTP procedure with the server is performed successfully. The user
does not have to press the Stop key.
When a number of e-mail addresses separated with commas are stored for
transmission, a transmission error occurs. (eg. aaa@bbb.com,
ccc@ddd.com, ddd@eee.com)

- Possible Cause An SMTP error occurs in the above case.


- Explanation/Action When storing more than one e-mail address, the user must press the Yes key
after storing each address.

5.4.2 IC FAX MONITOR


The user forgot the password for going into administrator mode

- Possible Cause The administrator password is stored in the machine, not in the PC. The
password is not reset if the user re-installs the utility. The administrator password
can changed with the utility, but the current password is needed.
- Explanation/Action A new password can be stored as follows.
Use rifmaint as the administrator password for the utility.
Change the password using rifmaint as the current password.
Rifmaint is always available even after a new password is stored.
Error after the user restores backed-up data

- Possible Cause Data must be backed up before resetting the RAM.


- Explanation/Action Restore backed-up data with IC Fax Monitor after the RAM in the machine has
been reset.

SYMPTOMS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

When an administrator logs into the machine, some functions cannot be


done at the operation panel and BUSY! PC COMMUNICATING appears on
the display.

- Possible Cause When IC Fax Monitor is being used in administrator mode, user functions 21 to
25, 31 to 36, 41 to 46,and the functions that require a password of 2222 cannot
be used at the operation panel. This is to prevent stored data in the machine from
being changed simultaneously at the PC and the fax machine.
NOTE: If any of the above functions is being used at the machine, the
administrator password cannot be used to log into the machine with IC
Fax Monitor.
- Explanation/Action Use the above functions after logging out of administrator mode.

5.4.3 COM REDIRECTOR


A Windows 95 error occurs when Com Redirector is reinstalled.

- Possible Cause When Com Redirector is uninstalled while it is still running, some files are not
removed from the PC. The error occurs because the files are not overwritten
during reinstallation.
- Explanation/Action The following are required to reinstall.
Shut down Windows 95.
Start Windows 95 again.
Stop running Com Redirector and all applications.
Uninstall Com Redirector
Reinstall Com Redirector.
The PC cannot send a message to the machine using LAN fax transmission.

- Possible Cause Two PCs can send a message to the machine at once. The third PC receives a
busy signal from the machine and cannot send the message. Another cause may
be that the PC was rejected as a result of the stored access control/access mask.
- Explanation/Action The user at the third PC must resend the message after the first or second PC
has finished.

SM

SYMPTOMS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

The Windows 95 COM port cannot be used after Com Redirector and fax
application software were both installed.

- Possible Cause The fax application software does not supported COM 5 or higher because the
application is a 16-bit application.
- Explanation/Action When Com Redirector is installed, it automatically looks for an available COM
port starting from COM3, then uses this port. Com Redirector offers this COM port
to the fax application. When Com Redirector offers COM5 or higher, because the
lower ports are already taken, a 16-bit fax application cannot use it.
Remove the application software that uses COM 3 or COM 4, then release the
COM ports. Then install the 16-bit fax application again.

LAN CONFIGURATIONS

1. LAN BASICS
1.1 LAN CONFIGURATIONS
1.1.1 OVERVIEW
A LAN (Local Area Network) links computers within an installation such as a
building or factory. It consists of communications hardware such as interface
boards and cables, and software for the computers that are to be connected.

1.1.2 BASIC TYPES


The following three configurations are available for linking computers. The different
wiring configurations are often referred to as topologies
With all three topologies, signals sent from one computer go to all other computers.
An address is included at the start of the data so that it is ignored by all computers
except the destination.

Bus Configuration
One central cable is installed, with computers connected to it in branch fashion. All
data is sent via the central cable.

Ring Configuration

c) Ring Connection

H132X503.WMF

Because the data sent by one computer reaches all the others, only one computer
may send data at any one time, or there will be a collision of data on the circuit. If
one computer continues sending data, it will occupy the LAN to the exclusion of all
others. To prevent this problem, data is limited to a length of a few kbytes. These
small units of data are referred to as packets or 'frames'.

1.1.3 AVOIDING DATA COLLISION


Collisions occur when data is sent from a number of computers simultaneously.
Two methods are employed to prevent this.
(a) The computers detect whether there is any data on the LAN, and only send
when the LAN is free. There are several ways to do this. A typical method is
CSMA/CD, which is used with Ethernet applications.
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sensing Multiple Access/Carrier Detection)
A method by which multiple computers have access to the transmission route
(referred to as multiple access). The computers monitor the transmission route
for data (carrier sensing), and send data if none is currently being sent. If a data
collision is detected, the data is resent after a randomly determined wait time.
(b) Token passing, in which collision of data is avoided before the event. Tokens
ensure that the data only goes to the intended computer.
The various connection configurations and ways of avoiding data collision have
resulted in a number of different types of LANs. The different types are
incompatible when directly connected to each other, thus requiring the use of relay
devices.

ETHERNET

1.2 ETHERNET
1.2.1 OVERVIEW
Ethernet is currently the commonly-used LAN. It was originally developed by DEC,
Intel, and Xerox. The original Ethernet standard incorporated what is now known
as the 10Base-5 specialized Ethernet coaxial cable.
The IEEE802.2 standard was based on the Ethernet standard. Specifications for
hardware components such as cables, were revised.
IEEE802.3 was then developed for use with media other than 10Base-5. 10Base2, 10Base-F, and the most widely used 10Base-T, were subsequently developed.
In contrast to the Ethernet standard data transfer speed of 10 Mbps, IEEE802.3
allows data transfer at speeds between 1 and 20 Mbps.

1.2.2 ETHERNET FRAME STRUCTURE


Ethernet frames consist of the addresses of the source and destination computers,
an identifier for the type of protocol used, the data, and finally the FCS (which is
used to check whether or not the data has been correctly sent and received).
Compare the Ethernet frame type and the IEEE802.3 frame type in the following
diagram.

FCS (Frame Check Sequence):


A CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) is employed to check whether or not the
received data is correct. The receiving device (receiving node) reconstitutes
the FCS from the received data. If it does not match the sent FCS, that frame
is discarded as corrupted.
Identifier:
Indicates the type of data that follows. The identifier is referenced by the
receiving node to determine the type of protocol used to send the data.
Octet:
A unit employed to indicate network data size. 1 octet is 8 bits (1 byte).
The term is used to make a clear division into 8-bit units from a continuous
stream of 1s and 0s with no inherent division into bytes.
LLC (Logical Link Control):
The name of the data frame defined in IEEE802.3.
Node
A computer or printer connected to the network.

1.2.3 MAC ADDRESSES


To allow each node in the network to communicate with others, it must have a
unique identifier. In the Ethernet standard, a 48-bit address known as the MAC
(Media Access Control) address is assigned to each computer. Each data frame
contains the MAC addresses of the source and destination computers.
The MAC address is a fixed physical address that is set on the network card. It is
six bytes in length for the Ethernet standard. The first three bytes are a header
code which is controlled and allocated by the IEEE, and the last three bytes are a
code independently controlled with each header (to prevent duplication). This
ensures that the physical address of each Ethernet card is unique.

Appendix A
H132

Under the Ethernet standard, frames are sent and received using these addresses
(see Ethernet Frame Structure).

LAN HARDWARE

1.3 LAN HARDWARE


1.3.1 OVERVIEW
The basic LAN configuration consists of four hardware items.
Interface boards - also known as LAN boards or Network Interface Cards
(NICs):
Convert digital data into electrical signals, prevent data collision, and transmit
data on cables
Cables:
Primarily unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) and optical fiber cables
Hubs:
Distribute signals
Relay devices:
Connect LANs for the transmission of data to remote locations
LAN devices are regulated by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers) standards.
In addition to hardware, the following types of software are also needed.
Transmission protocol software that can transmit data via a variety of relay
devices
Applications (database, e-mail), to provide the data in a format usable by
the operator

1.3.2 RELAY DEVICES


Relay devices are required to expand LANs. These devices do the following.

Extending the Connection Distance


LANs allow high-speed transmission of data, achieved by sending high frequency
signals over the cables. High frequency signals are considerably attenuated when
transmitted over the cables, and signal waveforms are easily distorted, resulting in
difficulties when transmitting over long distances (the maximum distance for
transmission using twisted-pair cables to connect the hub and terminals with
10Base-T is 100m).
When expanding a LAN, relay devices are used to amplify the attenuated signals.
Distorted signals are first converted back to digital format and regenerated to
remove the distortion.
To cover even more remote locations, telecommunications companies provide
dedicated lines, PSTN lines, and ISDN lines for connection to remote LANs.

H551

APPENDIX A-6

SM

LAN HARDWARE

Connection between Networks of Different Standards


As the types of cable used, and the signal and data format differ between different
LAN systems, such systems cannot be connected directly. When a LAN system
has to be connected to a different system, a relay device that can convert between
the two systems is employed.
Conversion between different LAN systems involves first converting the signals
back to digital format, and resending them in a format appropriate for the
destination LAN.

Control of High-speed Transmission Routes


As the network grows, the number of connected computers increases, and so does
the volume of data transmitted. There is a limit to the amount of data that can be
transmitted on the network. When this is exceeded, the flow of data is impeded and
communications are no longer possible.
There are a number of ways to increase the speed of data transmission on a LAN.
A high-speed LAN may be used to prevent network congestion when the amount of
data to be transmitted is large. When connecting LANs of different transmission
speeds, relay devices are required that can convert between the two LAN types.
By-pass circuits may be installed when connecting LANs with relay devices. When
there is a complex web-like interconnection of networks, there are a number of
routes to the destination, so that busy parts of the network can be by-passed.

Filtering
There are also relay devices that can check the data on the network and remove all
except that which is necessary. This is referred to as 'filtering'.

As the number of users increases, the network is used for greater variety of
purposes, resulting in the entry of data through illegal access. Relay devices to limit
access and to maintain security become necessary.

SM

APPENDIX A-7

H551

Appendix A
H132

Controls which pass only specific protocols (used for the transmission of data and
voice between terminals on networks such as TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, AppleTalk) are
used to alleviate congestion in the relay circuits.

1.4.1 REPEATERS
A repeater amplifies signals. It is normally connected to a number of LANs, and
amplifies signals from one LAN (one segment) and outputs it to another LAN
(another segment).
It is considerably cheaper than a bridge or router, and does not require special
setup. After power is switched on, the repeater connects to the two networks.
As distortion occurs when signals are amplified, the number of repeaters is limited
to two with Ethernet.
Repeaters have no ability to store data, and are unable to prevent collisions when
sending signals. Therefore, they have no effect on relieving congestion in a
network.

TYPES OF RELAY DEVICES AND GATEWAYS

1.4.2 BRIDGES
In the same way as a repeater, a bridge converts received electrical signals back to
digital format, and then regenerates the original electrical signals for transmission,
thus preventing signal distortion.
Bridges can also filter out unnecessary data, and can act to alleviate congestion on
the network. The bridge records the source MAC address in the header of the
arriving data packets. In this way, the bridge builds up a picture of the location of
each node (PC and printer).
In the example shown below, data sent from A to B also reaches the bridge. The
bridge automatically records this data and remembers that A is located in the lefthand segment. When data is subsequently sent from B to A the bridge does not
relay it to the right-hand segment. This process is referred to as filtering.
The bridge does not require special setup. After power is switched on, the bridge
connects to the two networks.

Switches have the same filtering function as bridges, however they also support
simultaneous connection of multiple LANs, and allow parallel relaying.
Relay processing time is reduced in comparison to bridges, and operation is
therefore faster.

1.4.4 ROUTERS
A router checks the destination information in the headers of the data packets on
the network and determines which LAN it has to be sent to. The router contains a
table which records the destinations.
Data going to LAN segment A is transferred to the upper route.
Data going to LAN segments B or E is transferred to the left-hand route.
Data going to LAN segments C or D is transferred to the right-hand route

In contrast to repeaters and bridges, simply switching power on and connecting to


the networks does not make ready the router for operation. Software appropriate
for the communications protocol must first be installed, the network configuration
checked, and the setup completed.
While filtering with bridges is implemented primarily by the checking of addresses,
filtering with a router is implemented by the communications protocol.
Depending upon the application protocol, the router may be set to pass e-mail
data, but not to transfer files.
Routers support considerably more sophisticated functions than bridges. For
example, they may be set up to allow high priority data to be passed more quickly
(priority control). Different LAN types have different formats for the destinations.
The router makes sure that the destination is in the correct format for the next
network.
When there are multiple routes to the destination, bridges and switches cannot be
employed to reduce congestion since the data is sent via all routes. Routers, on
the other hand, employ a number of routes set beforehand in accordance with the
amount of data to distribute the load throughout the network (while bridges divide

up the network with MAC addresses, routers achieve this, in the case of a TCP/IP
protocol, by analyzing IP addresses and sub-nets).
The router is a device central to the configuration of the network, and as such
router functions are implemented in software in PC LAN servers and UNIX
machines.
In the NIC fax, the device setting the IP address as the default gateway is in
practice a default router. When data is sent from the network belonging to
the local machine to other networks, the device at the exit from the network
is referred to as the default router.

1.4.5 GATEWAYS
While repeaters, bridges, and routers are available as dedicated hardware for
network use, gateways are available as server and client software packages. They
analyze all network communications protocols, and convert data, thus allowing
connection of different networks. The Netware Gateway Service supplied with the
WindowsNT Server is an example of this software.

NETWORK PROTOCOLS

1.5 NETWORK PROTOCOLS


1.5.1 OVERVIEW
Network protocols are standard procedures for transmitting data over a network.
There are different protocols for different stages of the communication.

1.5.2 DATA TRANSMISSION


Data is sent using the following procedures.
(1) Finding the destination
(2) Determining the route to the destination
(3) Sending the data
A number of protocols must be used in combination in order to execute each
procedure. The TCP/IP protocol used with the Internet, the Netware IPX/SPX
protocol, and the Macintosh AppleTalk protocol, are combinations of protocols
designed to achieve various specific procedures.
Protocols used for steps (1), (2), and (3) listed above are referred to as (1) the
name service protocol, (2) the routing protocol, and (3) the transfer protocol
respectively.

NETWORK PROTOCOLS

1.5.3 NAME SERVICE PROTOCOL


A computer name is normally assigned to the computer. However, for the purposes
of transmitting data, the name is converted to an address indicating its location on
the network. The name service protocol provides lists of all names when the
destination computer name is unknown.
The address is an identifier used in distinguishing between terminals and nodes on
the network. The most common addresses are IP addresses and MAC addresses.
An IP address consists of a network address (to identify the network to which the
terminal belongs) and a host address (to identify the terminal within the same
network), both of which are set by the user.
A MAC address is registered in the memory of the network interface board by the
manufacturer. Each MAC address is unique (no two are alike throughout the
world).

1.5.4 ROUTING PROTOCOL


The routing protocol is used in determining the route used to transmit the data. A
preset network route may be necessary, or it may be determined automatically by
communication between routers.
If relay devices are to be added or moved, it is convenient to have a method of
automatically determining new routes. The routing protocol provides this ability.

1.5.5 TRANSFER PROTOCOL


The transfer protocol is used in the transmission of data. It first checks for errors in
the received data, and resends it if an error is detected. It also controls the rate at
which data is transmitted, by communication between the source and destination.
In addition to these basic protocols, there are also various other protocols which
provide for notification of network congestion, notification of errors, and so on.

TCP/IP

1.6 TCP/IP
1.6.1 OVERVIEW
TCP/IP is the standard Internet protocol, and is supported as a standard by
Windows 95. It allocates 32-bit network addresses (IP addresses) to the nodes. As
the addressing system does not depend upon physical media, TCP/IP provides for
considerable flexibility in selection of routes.
The use of TCP/IP is not limited to Ethernet, but allows use of a variety of physical
media.
TCP/IP is a combination of the TCP protocol and IP protocol.

1.6.2 COMMUNICATIONS WITH IP PROTOCOL


The IP protocol divides data into packets. When the destinations may be on
several different LANs, the router selects the appropriate route for each packet
before it is sent. This process is repeated until all data arrives at the destination
network.

1.6.3 IP ADDRESS
Communications with IP protocol requires that network devices such as PCs and
routers using TCP/IP be assigned a 32-bit IP address as a means of identification.
When used in a single closed network, the IP addresses (referred to as private
addresses in this case) may be used freely. However, when connected to the
Internet, global addresses which are unique throughout the world must be used.
Global addresses are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA), and are assigned upon receipt of an IP address.

1.6.4 IP ADDRESS FORMAT


IP addresses are 32 bits in length, and are normally converted to decimal notation
in four 8-bit blocks as shown below.
Example of IP Address Notation
133. 139. 212. 11
Host portion (16 bits)
Network portion (16 bits)
The IP address consists of host and network blocks as shown above. The network
block represents a logical collection of hosts (a network), and the host block
specifies a unique host within the network.
In the example above, a maximum of 65,534 (the maximum number of
combinations of 16 bits) hosts may be allocated to that particular network block.

H551

APPENDIX A-16

SM

TCP/IP

As TCP/IP involves the routing of packets using the address in this network block,
the network block must be unique (no two can be alike throughout the world). On
the other hand, the address within the host block is up to the user.

1.6.5 SUBNET AND SUBNET MASKS


Subnet masks divide the host block into sub-nets. In the example above, there are
65,534 possible host addresses, and it is difficult to manage all with one network.
The host address block is therefore subdivided into the upper and lower 8 bits, with
the upper 8 bits handled as a logical group address. In this way, the IP addresses
assigned to a company for its networks can be divided up into sub-nets of about
250 hosts for ease of management (each department of the company can be
allocated a different logical group number, for example).
Example: Sub-net
133. 139. 212. 11
1 ~ 254 ... 254 hosts
Logical group
Host block (8-bit)
The final part of the IP address (the host block) cannot be 0 or 255.
The dividing is done using a parameter known as the subnet mask. The subnet
mask blocks off addresses, only permitting certain addresses to be used in a
subnet.
A logical AND operation is done using the subnet mask to find the range of allowed
sub-net addresses.

The following diagram shows how the AND operation can be used to limit the size
of the subnet to a few IP addresses.

SM

APPENDIX A-17

H551

Appendix A
H132

If your computer has the IP address 210.145.159.11, and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0, the server can recognize that machines with an IP address of
210.145.159.* are on the same LAN, so messages are sent to it directly. Any IP
address with a different value at the start has to be accessed through a router.

1.6.6 TCP AND UDP


While data is formatted into packets and sent to the desired node on the Internet
using IP, communications applications (eg e-mail) do not control data transmission
in packets.
The host requires a procedure for passing IP packets to the desired application.
This requirement is satisfied with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP
(User Datagram Protocol).

PRINCIPLES

1. E-MAIL BASICS
1.1 PRINCIPLES
1.1.1 OVERVIEW
Electronic mail (E-mail) is a system by which messages in the form of digital data
are sent and received between computers. A variety of types of electronic mail are
available - Internet e-mail, Microsoft Mail as used with the exchange client under
Windows95, and Lotus Notes Mail.
E-mail works as follows.
Messages are stored at some location.
Users generally have equal privileges, and are able to both send and
receive messages.
A telephone system requires that users are able talk to each other simultaneously.
In the case of e-mail, the user first receives the message, and may then read it at
any time, and send a reply if necessary.

1.1.2 SENDING AND RECEIVING


E-mail generally supports the following functions.
A UA (User Agent) for creating e-mail and displaying received mail.
An MTA (Message Transfer Agent) to handle transfer of messages.
The mail created by the sending UA is sent from the sending MTA to the receiving
MTA, and displayed by the receiving UA.
User Agent

Message Transfer Agent

Message Transfer Agent

User Agent

The simplest e-mail system is one in which messages are stored at a location
accessible by all users. Each user has his/her own mailbox, and the sender puts
messages in the recipients mailbox. The recipient checks his/her mailbox to
receive mail.
The mailboxes are normally at one location, often referred to as a post office, and
the process of sending e-mail approximates that of sending mail at the post office.
When the post office is accessible from all computers connected to the network,
the system constitutes an e-mail system.

SM

PRINCIPLES

1 June, 1998

Microsoft Mail as used in Windows95, and Lotus Cc: Mail employ this system, as
does the UNIX local mail system (i.e., not connected to the Internet, etc.).

1.1.3 E-MAIL NETWORKS


As the number of users increases, and geographically distant users are connected
to the network, multiple post offices must be established, and users are no longer
able to use the same post office for sending and receiving mail. A system which
connects post offices for the purpose of exchanging mail (a transfer system) then
becomes necessary.
In this case, the destination of mail is checked at the post office, separated into the
various destination post offices, and passed it to the transfer system. The transfer
system then communicates with the transfer systems of other post offices, and
transfers the mail to the appropriate post offices. Mail sent from other post offices is
sorted into the appropriate mailboxes at the receiving post office.
The above is a general description of an e-mail system. These functions are
implemented with the exchange server software packages for Microsoft Mail and
CC: Mail using optional gateway software.
The fundamental principles of Internet mail are the same, and are implemented in
the UNIX SendMail program under UNIX.

H551

APPENDIX B-2

SM

PRINCIPLES

The following diagram shows what happens when somebody sends mail from a PC
to a receiver with an account in the same post office and to a receiver with an
account in another post office.
Machines A and B both have accounts in mail server 1. Machine C has an account
in mail server 2.
When machine A sends the message, it goes to the local mail server using SMTP
protocol. SMTP is based on TCP/IP. The post office transfers the message to
receiver Bs mail box. Receiver B picks the mail up from there, using POP
procedures (POP is also based on TCP/IP).
To get to receiver C, the server sends the mail to mail server 2, using SMTP
procedures. Mail server 2 puts the incoming mail into receiver Cs mail box.
Receiver C picks it up using POP procedures.
Some more detail on SMTP and POP follow later in this section.

INTERNET MAIL

1 June, 1998

1.2 INTERNET MAIL


1.2.1 OVERVIEW
Internet e-mail (hereafter referred to as Internet mail) is a system for creating text
messages in accordance with a set of standards, the messages then being sent to
destinations using SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
SMTP is a protocol for sending and receiving mail as defined in RFC821. It was
originally developed for sending and receiving mail between servers. However it is
currently used for sending mail from client environments using POP (Post Office
Protocol discussed in a separate section).

1.2.2 CHARACTER CODES


Messages consist of a header and the main text, both being subject to restrictions
on usable character codes.
Specifications for data exchanged on the Internet are determined within the
organization of the Internet, and do not necessarily conform to ISO (International
Standards Organization) requirements. However, these organizations have codified
these specifications to the extent that they are now the default standards
organizations.
For example, the main text of a message created Japanese using JIS character
codes must satisfy a particular set of requirements for transmission on the Internet.
However, if it is to be sent on a network within a particular company, the unique
requirements of that system may mean that the JIS codes are not always used.

1.2.3 MESSAGE ADDRESS NOTATION


The UA attaches the required header to the main text and sends it to the MTA. The
MTA then adds to or changes the header as required to ensure that the message
transfer route is recorded, and that the addresses of the destination and sender are
correct.
Internet mail employs an 'address' to specify the message destination. The address
format is generally as follows.
user name @ domain name
The mailbox name is generally employed as the user name.
The MTA uses the domain name to check the destination IP address with the
DNS, and then sends the mail using SMTP.
DNS (Domain Name System) is a service which enables the IP address to be
obtained from the host name under the TCP/IP network environment.

H551

APPENDIX B-4

SM

Rev. 01/00

INTERNET MAIL

1.2.4 DNS AND DOMAINS


The IP address allows destinations within the Internet to be identified. This IP
address is, however, a string of numbers not easily remembered by the user. To
resolve this problem, a corresponding name is added so that the user need only
specify the name in order to identify the destination.
DNS was developed for this purpose. Internet domain names are distributed
among organizations in a hierarchical manner, with lower order domains being
managed by the higher order domain. All organizations participating in the Internet
have a domain name. The domain name first identifies countries, and is
subsequently further divided in a tree structure to identify organizations.
The name server (DNS server) located in each domain holds the information about
the domains and hosts under its management. When the client communicates
using a host name or domain name, an inquiry is made to the DNS to obtain the
destination IP address. Note that this domain name structure is independent of the
physical structure of the network. The items in brackets below are examples of
domain and mail addresses.

1.2.5 TRANSFER OF INCOMING MAIL


In some cases, incoming mail may be transferred to another server using SMTP
and then stored on another mail server.
The UA used by the user receiving this mail detects its arrival by some method
(e.g., by monitoring the contents of the directory designated to contain mail) and
informs the user of this fact.
The UA then extracts the mail in accordance with instructions from the user and
displays it.
The mail stored on the server is transferred to the user's PC using POP.
POP (Post Office Protocol) is a protocol used in reading the content of the mail
spooler using TCP/IP protocol. It is specified in RFC1725 (see a later
section for more details).

The mail address consists of a host name (mailbox name) and domain name. Mail
is distributed by first finding the IP address of the destination with the DNS, and
then transferring the message using SMTP.
1. The mail destination within the relevant domain is checked using the domain
portion of the mail address.
2. The MTA then connects to the destination mail server using the mail address
thus obtained.
3. The mail is transferred to the destination MTA using SMTP.
4. Depending upon the size of the organization, the message may be further
transferred to an internal MTA (not visible from outside the domain).

1.2.6 VERIFYING INCOMING MAIL


Arrival of mail at the intended destination on the Internet is not guaranteed. In the
worst case, it may disappear at some unknown location. Furthermore, it is
impossible to verify whether sent mail has been read or not.
Mail sent on the Internet passes through multiple servers and networks, and
computers used within the Internet are of a variety of architectures. The network
therefore contains a wide variety of hardware environments, in addition to the wide
variety of software employed for mail transfer.

While there are no problems in most cases, it is obvious that arrival of mail cannot
be completely guaranteed within this complex environment.

MESSAGE HEADERS

1.3 MESSAGE HEADERS


1.3.1 REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS
The basic protocols used for transmission of messages on the Internet are defined
in RFC822. RFC822 primarily defines the header information for e-mail, with the
details of the main text of the message being defined in MIME (RFC2045 - 2047).
NOTE: 1) An RFC (Request For Comments) is a document formally released by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The IETF has released a
wide variety of RFCs on technical matters (e.g., network protocols)
related to the Internet environment.
2) MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a protocol which
removed such restrictions as the number of characters per line, and the
maximum size of an e-mail transmission. It also made possible the
transmission of non-character data (e.g., programs and bitmaps).

1.3.2 HEADER FORMAT


The header of an e-mail message consists of a header and the main text. A blank
line is inserted between this header and the main text (the blank line is not included
in the header).
The header is defined as a collection of fields, with the field format as follows.
field name : content
An example of the To field, indicating the destination, is as follows.

1.3.4 FIELDS FOR SENDING E-MAIL


From Field
The From field indicates the person sending the mail. The difference between the
From and Sender fields is that between the person creating the message and the
person actually sending the message. These two fields are used when the two
differ. When the From field is omitted, the Sender field is added automatically.
When a error occurs, a error notification is sent to the destination in the Sender
field. When the Sender field has been omitted, the notification is sent to the
destination in the From field.

Fields containing mail addresses may also include real names as a comment (the
same applies to the Person Sending Mail and Addressee fields). In both cases
below , IC FAX is handled as a comment, and H132@ricoh.com is recognized as
the address.
Example 1 From: IC FAX <H132@ricoh.com>
Example 2 From: H132@ricoh.com (IC FAX)
Multiple mail addresses may be delineated by commas, and both address formats
may be used together.

Reply-To Field
Reply-To clearly specifies the address to which the reply is to be sent. As this field
may be omitted, it is possible that mail may be sent with this field blank. In such
cases, the mail is returned to the address in the From field.
When both the From and Reply-To fields are used, the latter has priority.
The Return-Path field appears to have a similar function at first glance,. However it
is not for return of mail, but is automatically added by the transfer system to specify
the person submitting the mail, and is used to investigate the mail route when an
error occurs.

1.3.5 ADDRESSEE FIELDS


To Field
The To field specifies the addressee for the mail. As with the From field, multiple
mail addresses may be delineated with commas. The To field differs from the Cc
field in that only the name of the person sending the message is specified.
Cc Field
Mail is sent to the addresses in the Cc (carbon copy) field in the same way as to
the address in the To field. The difference only with the To field is whether the
name is in the To field or the Cc field of the received mail.

H551

APPENDIX B-10

SM

MESSAGE HEADERS

Bcc Field
Bcc means Blind Carbon Copy. The Bcc field is deleted in mail sent to the
addressees in the To and Cc fields. It is most commonly used when the address of
the person sending the mail (the user in the From field) is to be entered in order to
leave a copy of the sent mail.
As some mail software saves a copy of the sent mail, it may not be possible to
specify the Bcc field in some cases.

Exceptions
The addressee fields do not always contain the addressees name when mail is
received. This is because since the actual addressee for the mail is specified by
the MTA, when an alias is used to create a virtual addressee (in a local system, for
example), the virtual address remains in the To field. This also occurs in cases
such as mailing lists in which mail is sent to all on the mailing list.
NOTE: 1) An alias is a group address. Mail sent to the group address is sent to all
members in the group.
2) A mailing list is a form of electronic conference using e-mail. E-mail sent
to a mailing list is transferred to each member of the list. As such, it
provides the same service as available with a PC-based centralized
host-type bulletin board system in a distributed network environment.

1.3.6 DATE
The Date field indicates the date on which the mail was created (not the date it was
sent). The date is in the following format.
Day, date month year hour: minute: second zone
Zone indicates the local time used in the system in which the mail was created, and
is expressed as GMT+/-hhmm.

1.3.7 MISCELLANEOUS

The Received field is used by the MTA sending the mail, to record the status of the
mail. This field shows the route over which the mail was sent, and the computers
which handled it prior to delivery.
In addition to information showing when and where the mail originated, and where
it was sent to, some systems add further information (e.g., host IP address,
software version) as a comment.

Message-Id Field
Internet mail adds an internationally unique message ID. This ID is created
automatically, and is normally a combination of the time the message was sent and
the name of the mail server.

RFC1651 and RFC1653 as ESMTP.
SMTP uses text-based commands and responses between the client and server. In
practice, it is a protocol used under TCP/IP, and data is therefore sent and
received under TCP. Retry processing with communications errors is therefore
handled at the TCP/IP level, and SMTP therefore needs only to handle sending
and receiving of data, and command errors.

1.4.2 SMTP COMMANDS


SMTP commands are sent, and responses received, between the client and server
when sending Internet mail. This communication involves sending of the domain
name, sender's name, destination name, and main text etc to the server, and user
verification.

1.5 POP
1.5.1 OVERVIEW
E-mail on the Internet was originally transferred between hosts using SMTP, with
the computer receiving the mail being operated all day long under the control of
SMTP.
In practice, the use of dial-up IP connections to connect to the mail server via
telephone lines, and the fact that the power supply may be switched off when the
user returns home in the case of PC clients, means that mail cannot be transferred
until the user connects to the server.
POP (Post Office Protocol) servers are used in such cases, i.e., when the
connection is not permanently established.

1.5.2 POP SERVER CONFIGURATION


The POP server is a computer which receives user mail using SMTP. The mail for
the user includes a setting to ensure that it is directed to the POP server.
Following connection to the Internet, the user receives e-mail directed to the server
with POP procedures.

Appendix B
H132

As with SMTP, POP is text-based, and as such sends command lines and receives
responses, as well as sending instructions for user identification by clients,
transmission of passwords, acquisition of mail, and deletion of mail on the server.

MIME

1.6 MIME
1.6.1 OVERVIEW
Audio messages and image files cannot be sent without further processing, if mail
is restricted solely to characters.
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a specification for the inclusion of
various types of data in e-mail, and currently supported by almost all e-mail
software for attachment of files.
MIME is defined in RFCs 2045 - 2049.

1.6.2 MIME FUNCTIONS


MIME supports the following functions.
Inclusion of multiple objects in e-mail. other than text, each able to be
handled at the receiving end.
Binary encoding.
Insertion of non-ASCII code characters (eg names in Japanese) in the
header.
As MIME is a set of conventions which dictate how the main text of the message is
to be handled, it employs a character string, referred to as the MIME header, to
specify the content and method of encoding used, and to identify whether or not
MIME is used in the mail.

1.6.3 MIME HEADER


Messages using MIME contain a header field as follows.
MIME-Version: 1.0
The use or not of this field determines whether or not the main text of the message
follows the MIME conventions. Currently, only Version 1.0 of MIME exists.

APPENDIX B-14

SM

MIME

[Content-Type] is added to the header to indicate that a message is in MIME


format. The [Content-Transfer-Encoding] header is also added as necessary to
indicate how the data has been encoded. As some types of data do not require
encoding, the [Content-Transfer-Encoding] header is not always required.
The [Content-Description] header is used when including comments. The content
of this header is interpreted as comments referring to the content of the message,
and has no effect on operation of the software.

1.6.4 DATA TYPES SUPPORTED WITH MIME


The following data types may be specified in the [Content-Type] header.
Information consisting of characters. The ISO-2022-JP character
Text:
code set is used in Japan, while US-ASCII is used for ASCII
codes.
Still images such as GIF and JPEG data.
Image:
Audio information.
Audio:
Digital animation such as animation and MPEG.
Video:
Application: Various application files and standard data formats.
Multipart: Main text which includes multiple objects. A MIME header is also
added within the message to record other messages. Use of this
data type allows sound, animation, and messages to be included
in the same e-mail message.
Message: Text message information.

1.6.5 MULTIPART
A data type which allows inclusion of multiple data items (objects). It allows for the
inclusion of text and attached files in messages, and is the most commonly used
type.

Multipart supports the following sub-types to indicate the relationship between the
individual parts.
The message consists of multiple independent parts.
Mixed:
Alternative: The message consists of multiple parts of the same content, but
in different format.
The message consists of multiple parts which are reproduced
Parallel:
and displayed simultaneously.
A collection of RFC822-format messages in digest format.

1.6.6 BINARY DATA ENCODING


The binary data must be encoded as character strings in order to insert a binary file
into a text message. In Internet mail, non-ASCII data such as single-byte Katakana
in Japanese is not sent correctly.
This encoding method is indicated in the [Content-Transfer-Encoding] field in the
MIME header. The following encoding methods may be specified in the [ContentTransfer-Encoding] field.
7-bit code (8th not used)
7-bit:
Full 8 bits used
8-bit:
Binary data
Binary:
Encoding of binary data in base64 notation
Base64:
Quoted Printable: Encoding of character subject binary data
Of the above, only 7-bit, Quoted Printable, and Base64 are normally used with email. Other encoding methods cannot be used unless they are supported over the
network.

1.6.7 BASE 64
Base 64 is commonly supported in e-mail application software for the transmission
of binary data.

Appendix B
H132

This method of encoding takes each six bits of the original binary data and
converts it to numbers between 0 and 63, each of these numbers being assigned
to one of 64 characters (26 upper case characters of the alphabet, 26 lower case
characters of the alphabet, the numbers 0~9, and the + and / symbols).

The above drawing outlines some of the network operations that the H132 can
support.
The NIC Fax at nicfax@xyz.co.jp receives a G3 fax message from a G3 fax
machine inside Japan (dotted line in the diagram). The NIC Fax then relays it to
another NIC Fax in the USA. This NIC Fax then passes the message on to a PC
(name@abcd.com).
The NIC Fax in Japan can also send the message to the PC in the USA directly,
via the internet, by dialing its e-mail address (unbroken line in the diagram). The
message will be stored in the network server at the remote end, until the PC picks
it up.
The rest of this section outlines each of the network features individually.

INTERNET MAIL

1.2.4 DNS AND DOMAINS


The IP address allows destinations within the Internet to be identified. This IP
address is, however, a string of numbers not easily remembered by the user. To
resolve this problem, a corresponding name is added so that the user need only
specify the name in order to identify the destination.
DNS was developed for this purpose. Internet domain names are distributed
among organizations in a hierarchical manner, with lower order domains being
managed by the higher order domain. All organizations participating in the Internet
have a domain name. The domain name first identifies countries, and is
subsequently further divided in a tree structure to identify organizations.
The name server (DNS server) located in each domain holds the information about
the domains and hosts under its management. When the client communicates
using a host name or domain name, an inquiry is made to the DNS to obtain the
destination IP address. Note that this domain name structure is independent of the
physical structure of the network. The items in brackets below are examples of
domain and mail addresses.

MESSAGE HEADERS

1.3 MESSAGE HEADERS


1.3.1 REQUESTS FOR COMMENTS
The basic protocols used for transmission of messages on the Internet are defined
in RFC822. RFC822 primarily defines the header information for e-mail, with the
details of the main text of the message being defined in MIME (RFC2045 - 2047).
NOTE: 1) An RFC (Request For Comments) is a document formally released by
the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The IETF has released a
wide variety of RFCs on technical matters (e.g., network protocols)
related to the Internet environment.
2) MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is a protocol which
removed such restrictions as the number of characters per line, and the
maximum size of an e-mail transmission. It also made possible the
transmission of non-character data (e.g., programs and bitmaps).

1.3.2 HEADER FORMAT


The header of an e-mail message consists of a header and the main text. A blank
line is inserted between this header and the main text (the blank line is not included
in the header).
The header is defined as a collection of fields, with the field format as follows.
field name : content
An example of the To field, indicating the destination, is as follows.
To:XXX@ricoh.com

1.3.4 FIELDS FOR SENDING E-MAIL


From Field
The From field indicates the person sending the mail. The difference between the
From and Sender fields is that between the person creating the message and the
person actually sending the message. These two fields are used when the two
differ. When the From field is omitted, the Sender field is added automatically.
When a error occurs, a error notification is sent to the destination in the Sender
field. When the Sender field has been omitted, the notification is sent to the
destination in the From field.

Fields containing mail addresses may also include real names as a comment (the
same applies to the Person Sending Mail and Addressee fields). In both cases
below , IC FAX is handled as a comment, and H132@ricoh.com is recognized as
the address.
Example 1 From: IC FAX <H132@ricoh.com>
Example 2 From: H132@ricoh.com (IC FAX)
Multiple mail addresses may be delineated by commas, and both address formats
may be used together.

Reply-To Field
Reply-To clearly specifies the address to which the reply is to be sent. As this field
may be omitted, it is possible that mail may be sent with this field blank. In such
cases, the mail is returned to the address in the From field.
When both the From and Reply-To fields are used, the latter has priority.
The Return-Path field appears to have a similar function at first glance,. However it
is not for return of mail, but is automatically added by the transfer system to specify
the person submitting the mail, and is used to investigate the mail route when an
error occurs.

1.3.5 ADDRESSEE FIELDS


To Field
The To field specifies the addressee for the mail. As with the From field, multiple
mail addresses may be delineated with commas. The To field differs from the Cc
field in that only the name of the person sending the message is specified.
Cc Field
Mail is sent to the addresses in the Cc (carbon copy) field in the same way as to
the address in the To field. The difference only with the To field is whether the
name is in the To field or the Cc field of the received mail.

FAX4700L WITH PC FAX EXPANDER (PCFE) TYPE 140

SYMPTOM:
1. No Multiple transmission from a computer via the FAX4700L-PCFE.
This problem occurs only when the FAX4700-PCFE, Hard Drive and the Function Upgrade Card (or
Function Upgrade Card plus NEST) options are all installed.
2. FAX ON DEMAND does not function after installing the PCFE firmware. This problem occurs only
when using the FOD function prior to installing the PCFE. In this case, the FOD files stored before
PCFE installation will not be accessible after installing the PCFE firmware. This means that these
FOD files will not be able to be polled from a remote terminal.

2. This problem is caused by the difference in the file structure between the original FAX4700L firmware
and the PCFE firmware.

2. To prevent this problem from occurring, the previously stored FOD files should be deleted before the
PCFE firmware is installed. We strongly recommend a level-3 initialization
(System Switch 00, bit 1 = 1) be used to delete these FOD files before installing the PCFE firmware.

EXHAUST FAN

CAUSE:

PAPER PATH

Check the machines that are experiencing Vertical Black Bands to see if the Interlock Switche had been
replaced in the past. If so, please make sure that the Exhaust Fan has been installed correctly. The label on
the Exhaust Fan (shown below) should be facing outward.
After the Exhaust Fan has been installed, please confirm that the air is blowing out of the machine.

ELECTRICAL

SOLUTION:

To enable the replacement of the Interlock Switch (REF. PUB 85), the Exhaust Fan must first be removed.
There have been reports indicating that the Exhaust Fan was reinstalled facing in the opposite direction,
which led to a rise in the temperature inside the machine.This causes poor toner circulation and resultes in
Vertical Black Bands. If this problem is not rectified, Vertical Black Bands may reoccur even if the
Development Unit is replaced.

SYMPTOM:
Vertical gray bands appear on the printed image.

CAUSE:
An unwanted build up of toner in the middle of
the Development Unit causes the Toner
Metering Blade [A] to bend in an irregular
fashion. As the Metering Blade bends, toner
passes between the deformed blade and the
Toner Application Roller [B]. This toner is
pulled onto the Development Roller [C] and is
passed onto the Drum [D] causing gray vertical
bands on the documents.

GRAY VERTICAL BAND ON PRINTED IMAGE

SYMPTOM:
Vertical gray bands appear on the printed image.

CAUSE:
An unwanted build up of toner in the middle of
the Development Unit causes the Toner
Metering Blade [A] to bend in an irregular
fashion. As the Metering Blade bends, toner
passes between the deformed blade and the
Toner Application Roller [B]. This toner is
pulled onto the Development Roller [C] and is
passed onto the Drum [D] causing gray vertical
bands on the documents.

AUTO SERVICE CALL 0-05
T
MECHANICAL

SYMPTOM:
1. Auto Service Call 0-05 (Fusing Unit Failure).
2. Constant "Add Toner" condition.

CAUSE:

Evaporated Silicon Oil from the Fusing Unit Cleaning Pad may chemically react with the 24V contacts of the
interlock switch. This results in a black deposit forming on the switch contacts, which interrupts the 24V
passing through the switch.

SOLUTION:
If the above mentioned symptom(s) occur:
1. Replace the Interlock Switch (H5219610).
.
2. Clear the Service Call indication by changing the data at RAM Address 4805AF[H] from "05" to
"00."
3. Ensure that the new style Fusing Unit Cleaning Pad (see note) is installed.
NOTE :The type of Silicon Oil used on the Fusing Unit Cleaning Pad was changed September,1995.
To reflect this change, the color of the Cleaning Pad has been changed from black to green.

INSTALLING OPTIONAL UNITS

Rev. 11/98

When the machine is initially used only with the PSTN, the line type programmed with phone numbers in
Quick Dials and the Speed Dials is stored as PSTN G3.
Later, if the line connection is changed so that G3 is to be used only with the ISDN, the communication port
for all stored Quick and Speed Dials must be changed to ISDN G3.
This feature allows the communication mode and port to be changed for all stored numbers at once.

Procedure:
1) Change the data in the following RAM addresses.
4B5846(H) - Current line type setting.
4B5847(H) - Line type to be used after this procedure.
NOTE: The default setting for the above addresses are FF(H).
2) Turn the main switch off and on.
Then, the machine checks all phone numbers stored in Quick Dials, Speed Dials, AI Redial, and
Forwarding Stations. If the communication mode and the port setting for a number is the same as
specified for the current setting in the above address, the machine changes these to the new
setting.
3) After this procedure, the data programmed automatically returns to FF(H).

HARD DISK OPTION PROBLEM

SYMPTOM:
MECHANICAL

Note: This copy is intended as a master original


for reproduction of additional bulletins.

SUBJECT:

Memory transmission is not possible. After the Hard Disk Drive Option is installed.
Memory transmission is possible if the Hard Disk (HDD) is removed.

CAUSE:
The control signals, which are positioned between the FCU and the HD, are affected by electromagnetic
noise from the Data Bus. Due to these conditions there are cases where the data in the HD cannot be
loaded correctly.
The data bus and signal lines should not be placed in parallel and if possible not close to each other.

SUBJECT: SC3 - 31
GENERAL:

SYMPTOM:
Polygon Mirror Motor error: SC 3-31.

CAUSE:
The edge of the Polygon Mirror Motor shaft can sometimes contact the Mylar, affixed to the underside of the
laser unit (H5522042), causing a reaction between the Mylars adhesive and the oil inside the shaft,
triggering SC3-31.

ACTION:
Production line:
The shape of the Mylar has been changed to ensure a gap between the Mylar and motor shaft. In addition,
the adhesive is not applied to the center of the Mylar (the area just below the shaft).
In the field:
Replace with the modified Polygon Mirror Motor, which includes the modified Mylar.

Copyright 2003 RICOH Corporation. All rights reserved.

Page 1 of 2

PARTS

When installing for the first time, be sure to replace the new motor and Mylar together as a set.
The Polygon Mirror Motor itself has not been changed. The new P/N (H5529100) consists of the same motor
plus the new Mylar.
