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."

1.1.1 UFR II Printer Driver
0010-7471
The UFR II assigns print processing loads to the print driver and the print controller for high-speed, lowcost outputs.
Advantages
- While the features are enhanced, the memory usage can be saved supporting both page and band descriptions.
- Balancing the data processing loads of the driver and controller allows high-speed outputs.

The UFR II print driver requires 5.0 mm of the top, bottom, left, and right margins.
-Even if Print with Upper Left of Sheet as Starting Point option is selected, marginal areas of the data for
a page are missing in some print results. To solve this problem, adjust the scaling so that the data fit into
the printable area and print the data again.

Area-Specific Paper Sizes:
In addition to default paper sizes (A4/LTR) and user-defined paper sizes, the printer driver supports areaspecific paper sizes (e.g., Officio), and it handles these area-specific paper sizes as user-defined paper sizes, requiring the user to register them in advance of use. To do so, see the instructions on registering userdefined paper sizes for individual operating systems.
When an area-specific paper size is manually set up under [Form to Tray Assignment] of the driver UI, or
if the size obtained by running dynamic configuration happens to be an area-specific paper size, the driver
operates in the corresponding mode. After performing all associated internal operations, the driver runs a
check of area-specific paper sizes stored as user defined paper sizes, and handles any matching paper as a
default paper size (special paper ID) instead of as a user-defined paper size. Moreover, the driver permits
registration of multiple area-specific paper sizes, treating them as a separate paper group. The driver UI
handles them using specifications designed for LTR paper, permitting the use of finisher functions, which
were previously offered for user-defined paper sizes (except the use of the middle binding function). Although it will permit all settings, the printer unit may ignore some of the settings. (The printer driver will
simply ignore them, not issuing conflicts.)

2.1 Basic Function
Chapter 2
2.1.1 Canon Driver Information Assist Service (DIAS)
0011-3456
This is a subset version of the Netspot Suite Service, supporting Driver only: we have selected Driver's
functions (mainly, the functions to acquire Device configuration information) and redesigned them. The
DIAS has the following functions:
- To acquire Device configuration information (acquisition when setting up Printer Property.)
- To acquire calibration information (acquisition when setting up Printer Property and printing by the color
LBP, Color iR, and etc.)
- To make recognition in department-control printing (communication when setting up Printer Property or
when making a department-control print)
Main structure of DIAS
DIAS (DLL): It is a module loaded on Driver
DIAS (Service): It does a service of installation on printer server when using a shared printer (resident
process)
CBT: It is a module group to control a local port, such as Centronics Cable or USB
H-VDC: It is a module group which are needed for the driver function in DIAS.
Characteristics of DIAS
- Local printer can acquire the configuration information in DIAS (DLL) only.
Local printer means a printer that is "Peer to Peer" connected with Local PC vi a LPR/IPP/Cen tronics Cable/USB and that Spooler (Print queue) appears on the Local PC.
- Shared printer needs to have DIAS (Service) installed on printer server.
The installation of DIAS (Service) must be done via Driver installer.
Shared printer means a printer whose Spooler (Print queue) appears on the printer server (Remote PC).
- However, in some cases, DIAS (Service) needs to be installed for Local Port connection. (See "Help" >
"Troubleshoot the acquisition of configuration information".
1, WinNT4.0 OS Family (All)/ At the time of Local Port connection (LPT)
2, Win2k Server OS Family (Except Professional)/At the time of Local Port connection (LPT/USB) and
Terminal Service introduction
3, WinXP Home/Professional Edition/ServerOS 2003 Family (X86:All)/ At the time of Local Port connection (LPT/USB) and Terminal Service introduction
About the version indication
The same Driver version indication as the one via Netspot Suite Service appears only when communicating with Device via DIAS (Service) (i.e., when connected through a shared printer).
Compatibility of DIAS and Netspot Suite Service
DIAS and Netspot Suite Service are compatible and independent. Driver supporting DIAS does not use
Netspot Suite Service even if it is installed.
Cautions when using DIAS
CBT controls all access to Local Port; both DIAS (DLL/Service) and NetSpot Suite Service use CBT to
access Local Port from the same PC.
CBT was installed only on Netspot Suite Service before; it is automatically uninstalled in response to uninstalling the existing NetSpot Suite Service. Follow the procedures below when uninstalling the former
versions of NetSpot Suite Service v3.40 and when uninstalling JobMonitor v4.20 and former.
- Reinstall DIAS after the uninstallation is complete. (Reinstallation of DIAS is enabled via Installer.)
- Update NetSpot Suite Service to the latest version (v3.40 and later).

2.1.2 FTP Printing
0011-3457
This device provides a FTP server for receiving print data. The device can accept print jobs sent in FTP
from client PCs. This is called FTP printing, a new feature first employed on iRC 6800. To use this feature, the FTP Print option must be selected. It is selected by default. You can access the option by pressing
Ad Func, System Settings, Network Settings, TCP/IP Settings, and FTP Print Settings buttons. In FTP
Print Settings screen, only one pair of a user name and password can be entered for the user who can log
in to the FTP server. No settings are made for both of the fields by default.
F-2-1
Commands
The FTP server complies with the RFC 959 -- File Transfer Protocol -- but provides only printing function.
Thus the server does not support other functions required as a RFC 959 compliant server. The commands
available for the FTP client are "user," "password," "bin," "put," "bye," "hash," and "help." There is no
use of other commands since the server does not provide functions other than printing. The following lists
the notes to use the commands.
- To send print data with the command "put," set the mode to the binary mode using the command "bin."
In the ascii mode, the data cannot be sent with the command "put."
- If the user and password fields are blank, any user with any password can log in. If the user name "anonymous" is used, any character string can be entered as the password. The device displays the string in User
filed of Log screen.

- This function is featured mainly to print prn files output from PDL drivers. The device processes text
files and the like as it receives data in LPR (and does not properly print depending on settings.) The device
of PostScript-compatible model can print PDF files, compatible with PDF V1.3.
The following shows a command specification example, which you will connect the device of the IP address "172.16.181.131" in FTP with the user name "test" and the password "test" and print the file
"test.prn" in the root directory of the drive C on the client PC.

Number of Connections and Used Ports
The maximum number of concurrent connections is three. If a user attempts to connect to the FTP server
with which three connections have been established, the user cannot log in and fails in connection. The
default port for the FTP server is 21. There is no measure provided to change the port.
The control port time-out is set to 300 seconds. You need to re-connect to the server if you have left the
connection for 300 seconds or more after logging in. The data port time-out is 60 minutes. If a data transmission takes more than 60 minutes, the connection is automatically disconnected.

Clicking the "Settings" button will open the "Custom Settings" dialog to set the halftone screen frequency
and angle.
The "Frequency" spin box will default to a value of 71.0 and will accept a value between 40.0 and 150.0.
The "Angle" spin box will default to a value of 45.0 and will accept a value between 0.0 and 90.0.
2.1.4 Secured Print Jobs
0011-3459
Overview:
Secured Print is the function that a password is provided to the PDL(UFR II and PCL) print job and it is
sent to the device. Then, it is rasterized on the device side, saved in the image server and output by entering
the password from the device's panel. This function is used when dealing with the documents which you
do not want other people to see, such as confidential documents.
a) Password is provided.
In order to conduct the Secured Print, the printer driver requires the user to enter the password from GUI.
This password is provided to the print job and it is sent to the device. This function can be conducted by
using CPCA protocol(UFR II and PCL).
b) Job execution and pending
PDL print job sent to the device as the Secured Print job is compiled on the job queue like the normal PDL
print job. Then, it is rasterized by PDL interpreter, saved in the image server as the document image file
and becomes pending here. However, all job information, such as paper supply/output, the number of copies and finishing information remains.
2-4
Chapter 2
c) Job started by entering the password
If the Secured Print job is pending, the display indicating the pending state appears on the job status screen
of the panel. If you select this job from the panel, you are required to enter the password. When the password you entered is same as the password provided from the printer driver, the pending job will be started.
When the password is different, the job is treated as an error, so it is not started and it remains in the pending state. Entering the password to start the job cannot be executed before the Secured Print job transfers
to the pending state.
d) Output
The started Secured Print job is output to the printer engine with the top priority. This top priority means
that if the jobs can be changed in priority order, the Secured Print job can be prioritized. This job is proceeded according to all job information specified by the printer driver, etc., such as paper supply/output,
the number of copies and finishing information. When the processing is completed and all documents are
output, the documents and job information stored in the image server are deleted.
e) Operations for Secured Print jobs
Like other print jobs, Secured Print jobs can be deleted, interrupted, restarted and promoted by operating
from the status screen of the print job. Regarding these operations, the device side does not distinguish
from operations of the normal PDL job. That is, the password entry is required only when the job is output.
If you interrupt or restart the job during outputting, the password setting and matching are not conducted.
f) Automatically delete of Secured Print Jobs
When Secured Print Job is continuing being suspended for a long time, apparatus deletes a job automatically.
There are options for automatic job deletion time -- 1, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. With a view of security
and memory usage, no option longer than 1 day is available. The elapsed time starts after all the processes
for the PDL data and the rendering for all the image data, for which Secured Print is specified, are finished.
g) Specifications and Limitations on Secured Print Jobs
The limitations on Secured Print jobs are listed as follows.
- Once data of a Secured Print job is printed, it is immediately deleted and cannot be printed any more.
- If the power for the controller is shut down, unprinted data of a Secured Print job is deleted from the printer.
- All the job information, represented by the paper source and output information, information of the
number of copies, and finishing information, cannot be changed on the printer.
- If the entire raster information for a Secured Print job cannot be stored in the image server (hard disk
drive) due to insufficient memory, the job results in an error, to be deleted.
- Up to 50 Secured Print jobs of image data being rendered and left unprinted can be stored.

Up to 50 mm of the gutter can be specified. The gutter can be adjusted within a range from 0 mm to 50
mm in 1 mm increments. The local UI and the print driver have the controls for the gutter settings.
The image is shifted to the width value specified for gutter, making a margin. If the shift causes the image
to overflow from the printable area, the overflowing area is missing from the print results. The overflowing image will not be reduced to fit into the printable area.

2.1.6 Processing on System
0011-3461
Processing after Power Shutdown
If the power is shut down during PDL data processing, all the image data temporarily stored in the hard
disk drive to be printed or stored in Mail Boxes are destroyed and the jobs are canceled. PDL data stored
in the hard disk drive immediately before a power shutdown are destroyed as the power is shut down.
Processing the data of those, therefore, will not resume when the power is turned on after the shutdown.
Jobs interrupted by a power shutdown will be displayed in the Log list with the End Code "NG (#852)."

Support of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
When printing an EPS file existing in an application program, selection of PS_EPS File Output will enable
printing of the EPS data as it is without conversion into PS print data.
In EPS, page size is not described in the file so that the page range is determined with reference to the image size.
The paper size will be fixed to the default paper size specified as part of print settings on the iR engine
control panel.
_If the image is smaller than the paper size, centering will take place.
_If the image is larger than the paper size, on the other hand, the upper left corner of the paper and that of
the page will be matched.

2.2.3 Application Color Matching Priority
0011-3469
There have been some cases that color reproducibility may become inappropriate if users perform color
matching in the printer driver again though they have already done it in PC.
When the checkbox for Application Color Matching Priority under [ In Quality > Manual Grayscale Settings > Grayscale Settings > Matching] is cleared, it can declare to the application software on PC that
Driver handles ICM processing.
This notice enables to perform Image Color Matching processing as designated in printer driver UI since
the process is not done to the color values given from OS to driver.
Though Application Color Matching Priority is set to on as default so that existing version can be compatible, when specified color tinge cannot be materialized, clearing the checkbox makes it manageable.
