Symbols Used
This documentation uses the following symbols to indicate special information:
Symbol Description
Indicates an item of a non-specific nature, possibly classified as Note, Caution, or Warning.
Indicates an item requiring care to avoid electric shocks.
Indicates an item requiring care to avoid combustion (fire).
Indicates an item prohibiting disassembly to avoid electric shocks or problems.
Introduction
Memo
REF.
Indicates an item requiring disconnection of the power plug from the electric outlet.
Indicates an item intended to provide notes assisting the understanding of the topic in ques­tion.
Indicates an item of reference assisting the understanding of the topic in question.
Provides a description of a service mode.
Provides a description of the nature of an error indication.
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 accom-
panies 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."

Select the site of installation against the following requirements; if possible, visit the user's before delivery of the
machine:
1) There must be a power outlet properly grounded and rated as indicated (+, -10%) for exclusive use by the machine.
2) The environment of the room must be as indicated in the following diagram, and the machine must not be installed
near a water faucet, water boiler, humidifier, or refrigerator:

3) The machine must not be installed near a source of fire or in an area subject to dust or ammonium gas.
If the area is exposed to direct rays of the sun, provide curtains to the window.
4) The room must be well ventilated. (The level of ozone generated by the machine in use will not affect the individ-
uals around it. However, some may find its odor to be unpleasant, as when working in a poorly ventilated room.)
5) The floor of the machine must be level so that the feet of the machine will remain in contact and the machine will
remain level.
6) The machine must be at least 10 cm away from any wall, permitting unobstructed use.

1.1.3 Making Checks Before Starting the Work

0001-7575
iR C3100 / / / iR C3100N
1-1 Points to Note
Keep the following in mind concerning the installation of the machine:
1) If you are moving the machine from a cold to warm place for installation, the machine can suffer condensation,
causing image faults. If such is the case, leave the machine alone unpacked for at least 2 hr so that it is fully used
to the temperature of the room before installation.
(The term "condensation" refers to the droplets of water on a metal surface when it is brought in from a cold to warm
15
Chapter 1 
place, caused by rapid cooling of the vapor in the atmosphere by the cold metal.)
2) The machine weighs about 100 kg (max.; including the DADF). Be sure to work in a group of 4 persons or more
when lifting it.
1-2 Recording the Service Mode Settings
Be sure to record the service mode settings as instructed herein as part of the installation work. At the end of the
work, check to be sure that the record shows all settings.

It is important that you send back the QR Sheet that comes with the machine. Regardless of the presence/absence of
a fault in the machine, be sure to fill it out and fax it as soon as possible. If there is a missing item, indicate its number
in the QR Sheet. If there is a fault in he external appearance, indicate it also in the QR Sheet by referring to the fol-
lowing diagram.

0004-6602
Chapter 1
1-1 Points to Make Before Installation
Be sure to go through the following before starting the work:
1) If you are installing the machine after moving it from a cold to warm location, be sure to leave the machine un-
packed for at least 2 hours so that the machine is fully used to the site temperature, thus avoiding image faults
caused by condensation. (The term "condensation" refers to the formation of droplets of water on the surface of a
metal object brought in from a cold to warm place, i.e., as the result of the rapid cooling of the moisture (vapor)
around the object.)
2) The machine weighs a maximum of about 65 kg/ 143.3lb. Be sure to work in a group of 4 persons when lifting it.
1-2 Recording the Service Mode Settings
Be sure to record the following service mode items as part of the installation work. Fill in the blanks as instructed
herein, and be sure all these blanks have been filled at the end of the installation work:
