Introduction

The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:

1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical

and mechanical systems with reference to the timing of operation.

　In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies the symbol ,

the arrow indicates the direction of the electric signal.

　The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and closing the

delivery unit door, which results in supplying the machine with power.

2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to

indicate "Low".(The voltage value, however, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in

"DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.

In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field. Therefore, the

operations of the microprocessors used in the machines are not discussed: they are explained in terms of from

sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the DC controller PCB to the loads.

The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement or other

purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the form of Service Information bulletins.

All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual and all relevant

Service Information bulletins and be able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

1.1 Product composition

Chapter 1

1.1.1 Product Components

This kit consists of:

- License access number certificate sheet

Memo:

Manual for users is not packaged with this product. The functions of this product are described in Sending and

Facsimile Guide as the optional functions of the Send function which is packaged with the Universal Send Kit.

Using this kit, you can get a license key from the License Management System (LMS) and register it in an iR/

imageRUNNER to activate the specific feature included in the System Software.

Note:What's LMS?

A license server system to activate software options of iRs/imageRUNNERs, provided by Canon Inc. Collectively

manages options in the form of licenses and protects copy rights of optional products. The options are activated with

license keys being different from conventional activation measures that use dongles and PCs. Whereas the details

of its management differ among countries and regions, it is designed assuming the users access it and activate

licenses by themselves respectively. Per optional product, the license access number certificate sheet is supplied.

Per license access number, a user can get a license key and activate the feature on an iR/imageRUNNER. To get a

license key, a user accesses the Web server of the LMS.

0008-5959

URL for LMS:

http://www.canon.com/lms/ir/

When a user enters the license access number and the serial number for an iR/imageRUNNER in the LMS, 24-digit

figure of a license key is generated. The license key includes the information of serial number for the iR/

imageRUNNER so that the key cannot be used for iRs/imageRUNNERs. Once the option is activated, the option

information is saved as the backup in the iR/imageRUNNER. Parts replacement will not deactivate the feature.

The staff in each regional headquarters can access the administrator's pages of the LMS. They can view the license

number issued for each iR/imageRUNNER and can reissue the license. The procedures are the same as the license

management system for MEAP except for the point the license key is used instead of the license file.

Transfer of a License

An optional function that has been enabled by the LMS may be used on a different device by transferring its license,

1-1

Chapter 1

as when the original iR device needs to be replaced, say at the end of its lease arrangement. Specifically, individual

licenses registered for optional functions must first be invalidated in user mode before transfer may take place. Doing

so will invalidate the optional functions on the source iR device and, at the same time, proof of invalidation will be

generated within the device in the form of an invalidation license key. The user may then communicate the indicated

invalidation license key, the serial number of the original iR device, and the serial number of the new iR device to

the Sales Company, which in turn may issue a new license key for the new iR device. The user now may register the

new license key to the new iR device in user mode, thereby enabling the optional function on the new iR device. For

details of transferring a license in service mode, see the descriptions of service mode that come later.

Important Note:

To use the Searchable PDF feature, Universal Send Kit　is required to attach to the iRs/imageRUNNER as

required as the license key. An attempt to register the license to an iR/imageRUNNER without attaching the Send

kit results in the error message saying the functions required to install the license is missing and fails in activating

the feature.

1.3.1 Limitations(Serchable)

Use of Text in a Searchable PDF File

If the PDF viewer possesses a text search function, a search may be run within the transparent text in the file. If the

application is equipped with a PDF editing function (as is Adobe Acrobat), transparent text may also be copied for

pasting in a different application or turned into a text file. If Widows NT4.0/2000/XP/Server 2003 is used, turning

on the operating system's index service and installing the Adobe PDF Filter will enable running of a search in the

entire text of a PDF file.

2.1 New Function

Chapter 2

2.1.1 Searchable PDF

A searchable PDF file consists of pages of scanned images that have been put through OCR processing. The test data

is extracted, and is laid over the original images in the form of invisible text so that a search may be run for a

particular segment of the data. A search in a PDF file requires a PDF browser application (e.g., Adobe Acrobat,

Adobe Reader). Or, Windows' search function may be used to look for a string of characters. Here again, the target

of transmission must be an e-mail address or a file server. To make use of this function, PDF (OCR) is specified when

selecting the file format on the Transmission screen. A PDF file that will be generated in response will consist of the

following:

- image block

300 x 300 dip fixed, MMR compression

- text block

Latin1, Latin2, Latin4, Greek, Russian

The character code recognized by OCR processing is determined by Additional Functions>Common

Settings>Langage Switch. Nevertheless, ASCII characters (English) will always be recognized regardless of the

selected language.

Caution:

The target of transmission of a searchable PDF file must be an e-mail address or a file server. In other words, it

cannot be sent if the target is a group of addresses that include a fax, i-fax, or Box address.

0008-5963

If the resolution (300 x 300 dpi) is changed after selecting the PDF (OCR), there will be a dialog box asking if the

file format must also be changed to PDF. In other words, PDF (OCR) cannot be selected unless the resolution is 300

x 300 dpi.

2.1.2 Document Orientation Auto Detection

Document orientation auto detection is available when PDF (OCR) is selected. When a PDF (OCR) file is sent to an

e-mail address or a file server, the result of OCR processing is used to identify the orientation of the original (with

reference to the orientation of characters), and the file is sent after automatically rotating the image, if necessary, so

that the user need not concern himself with the orientation of the document for transmission. It is important to bear

in mind, however, that any of the following types of documents may be transmitted in the wrong orientation:

- whose characters are at an angle (+/-3 deg or more)

- which contains white characters against black background, uncommon font, or handwritten characters

- whose text is not at 300 dpi and is not between 10 and 20 pt

- whose characters per page are appreciably limited in number (ideally, there must be 50 characters or more)

0008-5964

2-1

Chapter 2

Memo:

A document may not fall under the foregoing types, but may still be transmitted in the wrong orientation. If wrong

orientation is too frequent, disable the function.

2.1.3 Document Name OCR

0008-5965

The file name OCR function is available when PDF (OCR) is selected. When a PDF (OCR) file is sent to an e-mail

address or a file server, a file name will be assigned with reference to the result of OCR processing. When

transmission is executed with the File Name OCR button checked (part of transmission settings), as many characters

as specified in Additional Functions will be collected from the head of the text block on the first page and used as

the name of the file. A maximum of 24 characters may be used, and it may be combined with a name that has

separately been assigned. All characters that follow the initial 24 will be cut out of the name.

Memo:

If the setting Additional Functions>Common Settings>Langage Switch is set to [ON] , 2-byte characters will not

be collected for the file name. If a name must include a 2-byte character, be sure to set the setting to [OFF].

Service Mode Item Used to Invalidate a License for Transfer to a Different Device (Level 2)

Possible Situation

A license may be used on a different device through transfer, as when replacing the device at the end of a lease

agreement. To do so, the user must first invalidate the existing license by performing a set of steps referred to as

"invalidation of a license" using service mode. At times, both source and target of transfer may be the same device,

and a license therefore may also be invalidated only temporarily. It is important to note that the user must contact the

Sales Company to make a license good regardless of whether it has been invalidated intentionally or inadvertently.

Invalidation Procedure

Invalidation consists in invalidating the license in service mode and generating an invalidation certificate that proves

the completion of invalidation. Invalidation may take place for individual optional functions, and a specific function

becomes no longer available as soon as an invalidation certificate is issued. The user contacts the Sales Company

and provides the following: the invalidation certificate, the device serial number of the source of transfer, the device

serial number of the target of transfer, reason of transfer. In response, the Sales Company may issue a license key for

new installation on a different device. The user must take note of the new license key in writing, and keep it as a

record after registering it to the target device.

0008-5968

Installation Procedure

1. Start service mode, and activate Level 2 so that the following is true:

3. Thereafter, when [OK] is pressed, the indication under A will change to '0' and, at the same time, an invalidation

certificate will be indicated in the form of a number. Take note of it in writing together with the serial number of the

target device.

4. When the target device is ready, check its serial number.

5. Contact the Sales Company, and provide the following: invalidation certificate for transfer, serial number of the

source device, serial number of the target device. The Sales Company, in response, may issue a new license key that

may be registered on the target device.
