The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specic functions and the
relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with reference to the timing of
operation.
In the diagrams,
accompanies the symbol, the arrow
The expression "turn on the power" means ipping 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 eld. 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

In order to use UFR II, PCL, the memory capacity must be SOC:1025MB.
In order to use PS the memory capacity must be SOC:1536MB.
■How to handle the license option of which multiple functions are
integrated to 1 license:
Conventionally in the Send option, in case of integration of multiple functions into 1 license
option, multiple license certicates for each function had been packed with the machine.
Inactivation of the license transfer had been available for each function.
Such license option product as [UFR II+PCL] or [PCL+PS] has 1 integrated license certicate.
Registration of 1 license information concurrently activates multiple functions such as [UFR
II+PCL] or [PCL+PS].
Inactivation of the license transfer inactivates the transfer of all the activated printer options
collectively.
No separate transfer inactivation is available.
Separate inactivation of the license from the service mode screen results in the NG message.
■Notabilia with regards to the license transfer inactivation:
In the standard option settings for the host machine, due to the lack of transfer inactivation
information, no license transfer to the other host machine of the same model is available.
[Invalidating the License for Transfer to a Different Device] can only license option.
license in the host machine A.
->In this case, as there is no transfer inactivation information in the host machine A, the
license cannot be transferred to the host machine B.
Ex.2
The host machine A is a copier-only machine. The UFR II option was purchased to register
the license information.
The newly-purchased host machine B is a copier-only one.
Want to change the host machine B to a printer model by transfer inactivation of UFR II
license in the host machine A.
->In this case, as there is a transfer inactivation information in the host machine A, the license
can be transferred to the host machine B.
■How to conrm the activated printer option license:
The options displayed by selecting [counter conrmation key > device conguration
conrmation] for the users in the operation panel are individual functions (such as UFR II+
PCL), not the names of the purchased options.
Consequently, the license certicate is the only way to see the combination of options.
Enter the service mode level 2 and go to the service mode described below. Then the license
condition is displayed and transfer inactivation can be executed.

The eld No.1 in the table below shows the activated/inactivated condition of UFR II, PCL,
