    1. Construction

    1.1 Outline

    The Kit consists of the following three PCBs: Network PCB

    Used to connect the host machine to a network.

    RIP1 PCB

    Used to accelerate RIP processing executed by the main controller PCB.

    Relay PCB

    Used to relay signals between the host machine and the LIPS PCB and the power to the

    LIPS PCB.

    1.2 Division of Work Between Main Controller PCB and theRIP1 PCBThe functions used at time of PDL printing are divided between the main controller PCB

    and the RIP1 PCB as follows:

    Main controller PCB

    Receiving jobs from the network PCB or the

    parallel interface

    PDL identification

    Identifies an incoming print job as being in

    PCL or in PostScript, and selects the appropri-

    ate interpreter to use.

    RIP Processing

    Develops PDL data into image data using the

    interpreter selected at time of PDL identifica-

    tion.

    Smoothing/Thickening

    RIP1 PCB

    RIP Processing

    Receives part of PDL data from the main con-

    troller PCB, and executes RIP processing (par-

    allel processing) side by side with the main

    controller PCB.

    2. Basic Operation

    2.1 Start-Up Sequence (host machine)

    2.1.1 OutlineThe system program used to control the host machine is stored on the hard disk drive. The

    CPU on the system controller PCB calls the system program from the hard disk drive to the

    main memory fitted to the DIMM socket of the system controller PCB for use. This is why

    it takes a while before the control panel becomes ready after the control panel power soft-

    ware switch of the host machine is turned on, during which time the following screen ap-

    pears in the control panel.

    The progress of the start-up sequence is indicated by the progress bar on the screen.

    CHAPTER 2 OPERATIONS

    2-3

    When the control panel power soft switch is turned on, the CPU on the system controller

    PCB executes the self diagnosis program stored in the ROM.

    The self-diagnosis program checks the condition of the main memory and the hard disk

    drive, and any presence of a fault is indicated by means of an error code in the control panel.

    CHAPTER 2 OPERATIONS

    2-4

    When the self-diagnosis program ends normally, the boot program stored in the ROM

    starts up, reading the system program from the hard disk to write it in the system area of the

    SRAM.

    When writing is done, the system program in the main memory starts up to initialize each

    part, at the end of which the control panel shows the Control screen and the Start keychanges from red to green, indicating that the host machine is ready to accept a job.

    The system program of the host machine consists of multiple modules, and those needed

    for particular processing are called into the system area of the main memory for use.

    2.2 Printing2.2.1 Processing by the PC

    When the user sends a print command to the application program, the application pro-

    gram in turn sends image data to the printer driver with the help of the operating system.

    In response, the printer driver translates the image data and the printer settings informa-

    tion into PCL/PostScript commands (page description language). Thereafter, the print job is

    sent to the host machine through the network port.

    The printer driver for the PS/PCL is contained in the User Software CD-ROM that comes

    with the Kit.

    CHAPTER 2 OPERATIONS

    2.2.2 Processing by the PrinterA print job coming from the parallel interface of the main controller PCB or the network

    PCB is first checked by the main controller PCB to find out if it is in PCL or in PostScript

    (PDL identification).

    Then, the print job is sent to the RIP processing block for RIP processing by the maincontroller PCB and the RIP1 PCB operating simultaneously for conversion from PDL data

    into image data.

    After smoothing and thickening processes on the main controller PCB, the print job is

    once stored on the hard disk drive.

    The system controller PCB reads the image data stored on the hard disk drive, and trans-

    fers it to the DC controller PCB; the data is then used for laser exposure, development,

    transfer, and fixing for the generation of a print.

    2.3 Transferring Print Data2.3.1 Connecting the Parallel Port

    The installation of the Kit enables the parallel port of an iR5000/6000 to function as a

    printer interface.

    The parallel port is designed to the IEEE1284 standards (commonly known as bi-

    Centronics), and it supports the following operation modes: compatible mode (supporting

    the existing Centronics interfaces), nibble mode (transmitting data from the printer to the PC

    in 4-bit units), and ECP (Enhanced Capability Port; supporting 8-bit bi-directional commu-

    nication at high speed).

    2.3.2 Connecting to the Networka.Outline

    The network PCB of the Kit comes with an RJ-45 connector for 10/100Base-T, serving an

    interface for Ethernet.

    The network PCB has a function to automatically switch between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX based on the result of detection (provided that [auto detect] is selected under [Ethernet

    driver] as part of network settings.

    b.AppleTalk

    For a Macintosh network environment, the Kit uses AppleTalk as its standard protocol.

    Depending on the type of network, AppleTalk may be any of the following three: LocalTalk,

    EtherTalk, and TokenTalk, and the board supports EtherTalk.

    The print service of AppleTalk uses PAP (Printer Access Protocol), and enablingAppleTalk for the board automatically enables its PAP service.

    The Board supports EtherTalk Phase II, allowing the selection of the zone to which the

    Board belongs if the network is set up with AppleTalk zones.

    When printing in AppleTalk, each machine is allowed to directly send a print job to the

    printer.

    c. TCP/IP

    For an Ethernet, intranet, or UNIX network, TCP/IP is used as the network protocol. The

    protocol is also used commonly for Windows NT networks.

    Using TCP/IP

    To use TCP/IP, you must set the IP address of the Kit and the subnet mask of the network

    to which the board is connected.

    An IP address may be set either automatically or manually, and the Board supports the

    following three protocols for automatic acquisition of IP addresses: DHCP (Dynamic HostConfiguration Protocol), BOOTP (BOOT Protocol), and RARP (Reverses Address Resolu-

    tion Protocol).

    For this function to be available, there must be a DHCP server, BOOTP server, or RARP

    server on the network, each with correct settings. With the function, you can centrally con-

    trol the IP addresses of the devices connected o the network.

    When [auto] is selected, the Kit will request the server for an IP address when the Kit

    turns on and logs onto the network; in response, the server sends the IP address assigned to

    the Kit. In addition to IP addresses, subnet masks may also be obtained automatically. (In

    the case of RARP, however, only IP addresses may be obtained, requiring manual operation

    for subnet masks.)

    An IP address or a subnet mask may manually be set from the printer control panel.

    If external users (belonging to a sub network different from the one to which the Kit is

    connected) are expected to use the Board, you must set up a gateway address.

    Using LPD Service

    UNIX and Windows NT are equipped with an LPR port for the use of LPD services so

    that a work station can directly send print data to the printer board without routing it

    through a server.

    Windows NT comes with LPR, but you must install it from the control panel (i.e., it is notpart of the basic software designed for automatic installation).

    Windows 95 is not equipped with an LPR port, requiring the use of a server equipped

    with an LPR port or the installation of Canon LPR Port Utility 95/98 that comes with the

    Kit for printing by taking advantage of LPD services.

    d.IPX

    A NetWare network form Novell uses IPX as its protocol for print jobs. The Kit supports

    two types of network architectures: the bindery mode used in NetWare 3.12 (including the

    bindery emulation mode of NetWare 4.X) and NDS (Novell Directory Service) used in

    NetWare 4.X.In the case of IPX, all print jobs are sent to the host machine by way of the print queue

    built on the print server (Novell file server); the host machine, on the other hand, checks the

    presence of a job in the print queue of the connected print server at specific time intervals.

    When it finds a print job, it requests the print server to transfer the print job so that it can

    start printing upon arrival.

    For IPX settings, see the Settings Management Guide that comes with the Kit. Keep in

    mind that NDS settings will overwrite the bindery mode settings. If the host machine is to

    be connected to an environment in which both network architectures are used, advise the

    user to make NDS settings first.

    2.4 Processing Print Jobs2.4.1 Image Data Output Block

    When a print job has been processed by the Main Controller PCB and RIP1 PCB and the

    host machine becomes ready for printing, the CPU on the Main Controller PCB sends infor-

    mation needed for printing (e.g., source of paper), and instruct the host machine to start

    picking up paper.

    2.4.2 Processing by the Host MachineThe image data uses the image memory of the main controller PCB as a line buffer. After

    smoothing and thickening, the image data is once stored on the hard disk drive as in the case

    of normal copying operation; after adjustments are made for registration (main and sub

    scanning directions), the DC controller PCB starts to use the image data to generate images.

    2.5 New Functions2.5.1 Secured Printing

    In secured printing, the printer driver assigns a password to each print job and printing is

    held back until an input of the password is entered on the touch-panel display in the control

    panel of the host machine, thus ensuring the security of information.

    In secured printing, the print job is held in wait on the hard disk drive until its password is

    entered.

    Memo

    As many as 16 jobs are accepted for secured printing. If 16 jobs are held in

    wait without entering a password, the 17th job will not be accepted; it may,

    however, be printed as an ordinary print job.

    If the user forgets the password and the job remains in the queue, the job

    must be deleted by turning off and then on the power. At this time, all other

    jobs and the job log information will also be lost; be sure to consult withthe network administrator before doing so.

    2.5.2 Bulletin BoardThe network administrator can make use of the remote UI (or making appropriate settings

    in user mode) to indicate any message on the touch-panel display in the control panel of the

    host machine. Some of the messages that are exchanged in the form of e-mail messages or

    by means of groupware may be communicated between the PC of the administrator and the

    control panel of the host machine.

    The system administrator may select any strings of characters, and execute the function sothat the touch-panel of the control panel will indicate the message. The touch-panel may be

    set so that the message may be a status area message (1 line) or a pop-up message (4 lines).

    The message is indicated on the Copier screen, Box screen, or Extension screen (in the

    case of the printer model, on the Extension screen only), and the message may be in any of

    the following three formats:

    Status are message 23 characters

    Pop-up message Indicated at all times 23 characters x 4 lines

    Indicated in response to all-clear 23 characters x 4 lines

    2.5.3 Port 9100 printingPort 9100 printing is a print service the host machine supports for Windows 2000. Basi-

    cally, it is identical to printing in LPD/LPR using TCP/IP, and it prints using TCP communi-

    cation port numbers 9100, 9101, 9102, and 9103.

    F02-205-01

    2.5.4 ID Management by GroupEach group may be assigned a 7-digit group ID and its own ID number so that the host

    machine may be used only when these numbers are entered (ID management by group).This function can take care of as many as 1000 groups, and the print counts may be checked

    according to group.

    The settings needed for ID management by group may be set up from the touch-panel in

    the control panel of the host machine or by using the remote UI (user mode>system set-

    tings> group ID managed).

    2. Printer Drivers

    When a print command is executed from an application program, the printer driver starts

    to convert print images it receives from the application program into commands written inits page description language. In addition, it also converts settings made on the printer's

    Properties screen into commands, and send the result to the printer board.

    In general, a different operating system uses a different protocol for the transmission of

    image data, requiring a specific printer driver. The User Software CD-ROM of the Kit pro-

    vides PCL5e, PCL6, and PostScript 3 printer drivers to support the following operating sys-

    tems:

    3.1 NetSpot

    NetSpot is a utility program used to manage printers on a TCP/IP or an IPX network,showing the state of printers and progress of print jobs on PC screens.

    A printer that supports NetSpot has a built-in database called an MIB (Management Infor-

    mation Base), and NetSpot installed to the PC of the system administrator accesses the data-

    base to obtain control information and to make settings.

    A PC to which NetSpot has been installed is capable of accessing all printers supporting

    NetSpot, thus enabling the system administrator to manage all printers connect to the net-

    work.

    The PC used by the system administrator must be able to sue TCP/IP or IPX.

    3.2 JBIG ViewerJBIG Viewer is used to view images stored in the Boxes by means of the PC browser of a

    PC connected to the network.

    6. Troubleshooting

    If the connection to the network is not correct, you may suspect the following causes; per-

    form the steps given under 5.1 and later to correct the problem:1. The connection between the network and the Network PCB is not correct.

    2. The TCP/IP settings are not correct.

    3. The Network PCB or a PCB is not correctly mounted.

    4. The user's network is not faulty.

    6.1 Checking the Connection of the Network CableCheck to make sure that the network cable is correctly connected to the Network PCB.

    1) If the connection is correct, go to 6.2.

    2) If the connection is not correct, make a check once again using a remote host address.

    6.2 Making a Check with a Loop-Back AddressA loop-back address is returned before reaching the Network PCB, enabling you to check

    the TCP/IP settings by executing PING using the address.

    1) Enter the loop-back address (127.0.0.1) for PING.

    2) If 'NG' has appeared, check the TCP/IP settings once again, and execute PING once

    again.

    3) If 'OK' is indicated, go to 6.3.

    6.3 Making a Check Using a Local Host AddressA local host address in question is the IP address of the host machine, and it will be re-

    turned after reaching the Network PCB when you execute PING using the address, enabling

    you to check the Network PCB.

    1) Enter the IP address of the host machine to PING.

    2) If 'NG' has appeared, perform the following, and execute PING once again:

    a. If the IP address is faulty, check the IP address by contacting the system administrator.

    b. If the Network PCB is not correctly connected, check the connector of the Network

    PCB.

    c. If the Network PCB is faulty, replace the Network PCB.3) If 'OK' has appeared, suspect a problem on the user's network; contact the user's system

    administrator for appropriate action.

    1. Outline of Troubleshooting

    Start troubleshooting work by checking the simplest causes first (e.g., wrong settings,

    loose connectors), moving on to causes that call for complicated solutions. Go through thefollowing for an idea of how you may troubleshoot the system:

    1.1 Checking the Host MachineBefore starting to troubleshoot the Kit, check to make sure that the host machine operates

    normally by generating copies and test prints.

    If the host machine fails to operate normally, troubleshoot it by referring to its Service

    Manual.

    1.2 Checking the ConnectionsBefore starting full-scale troubleshooting work, check the connections for loose or miss-ing connectors of cables and the print PCB. Each symptom calls for a check on a particular

    point, which is likely to be any of the following:

    Network cable

    Connector between RIP1 PCB and relay PCB

    Connector between relay PCB and main controller PCB

    Parallel port connector

    1.3 Checking the HardwareTurn off and then on the host machine to make sure that it starts up normally; then, gener-

    ate test prints. If the machine fails to generate test prints, suspect a fault in its hardware: see

    2. "Basic Procedure for Checking Network Connections," 3. "Troubleshooting by Error

    Code," and 4. "Disassembly/Assembly."

    2. Basic Procedure for Checking Network Connections

    2.1 Basic Procedure for Checking the Network in a TCP/IP

    EnvironmentIf the user's network is in a TCP/IP environment, check to see that the network PCB is

    correctly mounted and the network is correctly set up using PING in service mode.

    2.1.1 Using PING1) Select PING in service mode: Copier>Test>Network>PING.

    2) Enter the IP address using the keypad on the control panel, and press [OK].

    3) Press [START].

    4) See that 'OK' has appeared to indicate that PING has been successful. ('NG' indicates the

    failure of PING.)

    2.1.2 Making a Check Using a Remote Host AddressBy executing PING using a remote address, you can find out whether the connection to

    the network is correct or not.

    1) Inform the user's system administrator that you are going to check the connection to the

    network using PING.

    2) Obtain the remote host address from the system administrator.

    3) Start service mode, and enter the remote host address you obtained in step 2) to 'PING'.

    4) See that 'OK' has appeared to indicate that the connection to the network is correct.

    5) If 'NG' has appeared to indicate that the connection to the network is not correct, per-

    form the following troubleshooting work:

    CHAPTER 5 TROUBLESHOOTING

    5-3

    2.2 TroubleshootingIf the connection to the network is not correct, you can suspect any of the following

    causes; go to 2.2.1 for appropriate action:

    1. The connection between the network and the Network PCB is faulty.

    2. The TCP/IP settings are wrong.

    3. The auto identification mechanism for the Ethernet driver is faulty.

    4. The Network PCB or any of the PCBs is not mounted correctly.

    5. The user network is faulty.

    2.2.1 Checking the Connection of the Network CableCheck to find out whether the network cable is connected correctly to the Network PCB.

    1) If the connection is correct, go to 3.2

    2) If the connection is wrong, make the needed corrections, and make a check using a re-

    mote host address.

    2.2.2 Making a Check Using a Loop-Back AddressA loop-back address is returned before it reaches the Network PCB; for this reason, you

    can find out whether the TCP/IP settings are correct or not by execution PING with the ad-

    dress.

    1) Start service mode, and enter the loop-back address (127.0.0.1):

    Copier>Test>Network>PING.

    2) If 'NG' has appeared, check the TCP/IP settings once again, and execute PING.

    3) If 'OK" has appeared, go to 2.2.3.

    2.2.3 Checking the Ethernet Driver SettingsSome network environments prevent the Ethernet driver auto identification mechanism of

    the host machine from operating normally. In such a case, make the Ethernet driver settings

    manually.

    1) Find out the type of communication and the type of Ethernet from the system adminis-

    trator.

    2) Make the following selections in user mode: System Management Settings>Network

    Settings>Ethernet Driver Setting. Then, change the setting to 'no', and set it to the type

    of communication and type of Ethernet you found out in step 1).3) Turn off and then on the power.

    4) Make a check once again using the remote host address.

    5) See that 'OK' has appeared.

    6) If 'NG' has appeared, go to 2.2.4.

    5-4

    2.2.4 Making a Check Using a Local Host AddressA local host address is an IP address, and executing PING using the address causes it to

    be retuned only after it has reached the Network PCB, enabling you to find out whether the

    network PCB is normal or not.

    1) Start service mode, and make the following selections: Copier>Test>Network>PING;

    then, enter the IP address of the host machine.

    2) If 'NG' has appeared, check the following and take the appropriate actions; then, execute

    PING:

    If the IP address is faulty, check with the system administrator to make sure that the

    settings of the IP address are correct and the IP address is valid.

    If the connection of the network PCB is faulty, check the connection of the Network

    PCB.

    If the Network PCB is faulty, replace the network PCB. If the main controller PCB is faulty, replace the main controller PCB.

    3) If 'OK' has appeared, suspect a problem in the user's network environment. Report to the

    system administrator for appropriate action.
