This Service Manual provides basic facts and figures needed to service the GP215/GP200 in the field. The GP215/GP200 is designed to accommodate fax and printer functions in addition to copier functions, and separate service manuals are available for each function; refer to the appropriate ser vice manual as necessary.

This Service Manual is organized as follows:

CHAPTER 1, “General Introduction,” shows the GP215/GP200’s features, specifications, and step-bystep instructions on how to operate the copier.

CHAPTER 2, “Copying Processes,” shows how the GP215/GP200 generates copies while discussing each of the steps involved.

CHAPTER 3, “Operations and Timing,” explains the GP215/GP200’s mechanical system by function and principles behind its electrical systems in relation to timing of each operation.

CHAPTER 4, “Mechanical System,” explains how to disassemble/assemble and adjust the GP215/GP200.

CHAPTER 5, “Installation,” provides points to note when selecting the site of installation and instructions on how to install the GP215/GP200.

CHAPTER 6, “Maintenance and Inspection,” provides tables of periodically replaced par ts and consumables/durables as well as a scheduled servicing chart.

APPENDIX contains a general timing chart, general circuit diagrams, and PCB diagrams.

This Service Manual is accompanied by the Service Handbook, which contains information on how to maintain and inspect the GP215/GP200 through adjustment and troubleshooting work.

Information found in this manual ma y be updated from time to time for product improvement, and major updates are communicated in the form of Service Information bulletins.

I. FEATURES

1. Establishes a new set of standards for “high-quality imaging” at a resolution of 1200 ××600 dpi (equivalent), which is the world’s first.

• In copier mode, the resolution is 600 ××600 dpi when reading and 1200 ××600 dpi when writ-

ing.

• In fax reception mode, the resolution is 600 ××600 dpi (hyper genesis smoothing).

• In printer mode, the resolution is 1200 ××600 dpi (new super smoothing technology).

2. Ease of operation and productivity from an integrated design.

• The display is a large LCD touch panel for clear viewing and simple operation. (The display

intensity may be varied.)

• The on-going fax communication status may be indicated while in copier mode.

The display indicates the status (reception/transmission) job number , fax number, party number, and number of processing pages at intervals of 1 sec.

3. P ower -saving, space sa ving, and ozone-less considerations f or the office and the en vir onment.

• The on-demand fixing method warms up the machine quickly so that sleep mode may be

made use of without the risk of wasting time.

• The wait time is 8 sec or less. (at power-on on the control panel; 8.6 sec or less if the main

switch is used)

• The machine is appreciably quieter than the existing models for a better office environment.

• With the help of its power-saving design, the power consumption is 4 W or less* in sleep

mode (about 1/25 of existing Canon models) and 57 W or less** in standby (about 1/4 of existing Canon models).

• The roller charging method has enabled ozone-less operation.

• The width is only 58.5 cm. With the MDC function built into the machine, more space is saved.

All additional copier, fax, printer, and network functions may be built into the machine without affecting the machine size.

4. GP215 Series with duplexing functions

• As many as four models are available—with combinations of copier, copier/fax, and copi-

er/printer.

• The copier/fax model comes standard with an ADF-F1 or an RDF-G1.

: Standard : Option : Either copyboard cover, ADF-F1, or RDF-G1. (as an option, PostScript Level 2).

* Sleep state is when the main power is OFF. Fax reception is possible. (Not 4 W if a fax transmission

reservation has been made or the printer function has been added.)

** Standby state is when the main power is on. In copier/fax mode, 57 W or less. In copier mode, 50 W

or less.

2. Operations Available during Copying

q Stopping Copying

To stop continuous copying, press the Stop key or the Reset key . Copying will stop after completing the ongoing copying run.

w Switching from AE Mode to Manual density

Control Mode You may switch from AE (auto density control) mode to manual density adjustment mode during continuous copying. Howev er , y ou cannot s witch from manual density adjustment mode during continuous copying.

e Interrupting On-Going Copying

To make copies of a different original, press the Interrupt key to stop the on-going copying.

Note:

The following keys are effective during continuous copying: a. Stop key b. Reset key c. Interrupt key d. Copy Density key (from AE to manual)

3. Interrupting On-Going Copying

If you want to make copies of a different or iginal while making a large number of copies in continuous copying mode, you can suspend the ongoing copying operation temporarily.

Or, you can suspend fax reception or printer operation to make copies. (Fax reception or pr inter operation will resume as soon as you end interrupt mode.)

1) Press the Interrupt key to select interrupt

mode. Available Operations

• Making one-sided copies

• Making 1 to 100 copies

• Selecting non-sort mode

• Selecting manual feed mode

• Selecting a density (darker, lighter, AE)

• Selecting a reproduction ratio (may be auto)

• Selecting a cassette

• De-selecting ID mode

• De-selecting interrupt mode

You cannot use the document feeder for interrupt mode.

2) Place the original, and press the Start key.

3) To end interrupt mode, press the Interrupt mode once again.

1–18

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

4. Making Two-Sided Copies or Overlay Copies

Using manual feeding mode, you can make

two-sided copies overlay copies.

Be sure to keep the following in mind when making two-sided or overlay copying mode: q Make sure that the side copied and the side to

be copied have the same orientation (i.e., do not reverse rear and front) when turning over the copy paper.

w Make sure that the copy paper is not moist. e Make sure that the copy is not curled. r After the first copying run, cool the copy paper

sufficiently and remove the curling before starting the second copying run.

t Use 64 to 128 g/m2paper. y Remove the curling before the second copy-

ing run for a post card or thick paper (128 g/m2).

5. Using ID Mode

In ID mode, you must enter a 4-digit ID number to make copies. As many as 100 ID numbers may be stored, and you can check the count (number of copies made) by number for control of copying volume by group.

a. Setting the System Control Password

1) Select ‘user mpde’, ‘custom common set-

tings’, and then ‘system settings password setting’ to set the system control password.

b. Storing ID Numbers

1) Set the system control password.

2) Select ‘custom common settings’ and ‘DEPT.

ID MANAGEMENT’ to enter the system control password.

3) Select ‘yes’ to ‘DEPT. ID MANAGEMENT’,

and store the appropriate group ID and ID number for ‘STORE DEPT. ID PASSWORD’.

c. Entering an ID Number

1) Press the ‘ID’ icon in the upper right corner of

the Basic screen.

2) Enter the appropriate ‘ID’ and ‘password’.

d. Cleaning the Count (all ID numbers)

1) Select ‘user mode’, ‘custom common set-

tings’, and then ‘DEPT. ID MANAGEMENT’ to enter the system control password.

2) On the ‘DEPT. ID MANAGEMENT’ screen

select ‘ON’ and then ‘COPY TOTALS’; then, press ‘CLEAR ALL TOTALS’.
