Precautions

Always observe the following general precautions when installing and servicing the ColorPASS:

• Report any shipping damage.

If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to the packing boxes or their contents, save the damaged boxes and parts, call the shipper immediately to ﬁle a claim, and notify your authorized service/support center.

•Never alter an existing network without permission.

The ColorPASS will probably be connected to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) based on Ethernet hardware. The network is the link between the customer’s computer, existing laser printers, and other prepress equipment. Never disturb the LAN by breaking or making a network connection, altering termination, installing or removing networking hardware or software, or shutting down networked devices without the knowledge and express permission of the system or network administrator or the shop supervisor.

•Never assign an IP address in ColorPASS Network Setup.

Only the network administrator should assign an IP address to a network device. Assigning the ColorPASS an incorrect IP address may cause unpredictable errors on any or all devices connected to the network.

• Always disconnect power before opening the ColorPASS.

•Use care when handling parts of the ColorPASS, as some edges on the unit may be sharp. For example, be careful when:

•Accessing the DVD drive (keep the drive door closed when not in use)

•Plugging in cables at the back of the unit

•Removing the panels

•Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions while working on the internal components.

Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area around the copier and the ColorPASS is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes, synthetic clothing ﬁbers, silks, and plastics may generate a static charge of more than 10,000 volts. Static discharge is capable of destroying the circuits etched in silicon microchips, or dramatically shortening their life span. By observing standard precautions, you may avoid extra service calls and save the cost of a new board.

When possible, work on a ground-connected antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding strap, grounded at the same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible:

•Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.

xiii

Preface

• When you unpack the ColorPASS from the carton for the ﬁrst time, touch a metal area

of the copier to discharge the static on your body.

•Before you remove the side panel(s) and handle internal components, touch a metal

part of the ColorPASS.

• Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to

install them. When you remove components from an antistatic bag, place them on a grounded antistatic surface, component-side up.

• When you remove an electronic component, place it into an antistatic bag

immediately. Do not walk across a carpet or vinyl ﬂoor while carrying an unprotected board.

•Do not damage or remove the gaskets afﬁxed to one edge of the side panels and around

the DVD (digital video disk) drive enclosure. The gaskets are designed to reduce possible electromagnetic interference (EMI).

•Handle printed circuit boards by their opposing edges only, and avoid touching the

contacts on the edge of the board.

•Protect the thermal material on the base of the heatsink. If you remove the CPU

cooling assembly (for instance, when transferring the CPU to a new motherboard), avoid touching the thermal material on the base of the heatsink. When setting the heatsink aside, set it base-side-up.

•Never set any liquid on or near the ColorPASS or the copier.

Tools you will need

To install or service the ColorPASS, you should bring the following tools and parts:

• ESD wrist grounding strap and antistatic mat

•Wire cutters

•Needlenose pliers

• #0 and #1 Phillips head screwdrivers (non-magnetic)

•Flathead screwdriver

xiv

You should also bring this guide, documentation for any optional service kits you may be installing, and any technical notes for the ColorPASS.

Introduction

How the ColorPASS operates

The ColorPASS enables the customer to use a copier as a printer and scanner. Users can print to the ColorPASS from networked PCs running Microsoft Windows, from networked Mac OS computers, and from networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP.

The custom-designed boards and system software of the ColorPASS are responsible for efﬁcient image processing and printing controls. The main functions of components and software are described in the following paragraphs.

The ColorPASS uses specialized circuit boards, the motherboard, and the copier interface board to process image data for printing and scanning images.

The motherboard includes a 2GHz CPU that controls the image data transfer to and from the copier interface board and runs the interpreter. The interpreter rasterizes the page description ﬁle and then compresses the image pattern into memory.

The interpreter sends compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to the copier interface board. The copier interface board decompresses the image data and sends it to the copier through the copier interface cable. The raster data supplied to the laser in the copier charges the drum and renders the ﬁnal image on paper at full copier speed.

High-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the motherboard hold the image data during printing. The ColorPASS is conﬁgured with two 256MB DIMMs for a total of 512MB of memory.

When Fiery Scan uses the copier as a scanner, the ColorPASS acquires red, green, and blue (RGB) image data from the copier, stores it in memory, and transmits it to the computer that requested the scan.

Print options

The ColorPASS supports a variety of applications to create and print pages of text and/or images. The ColorPASS operates over a network.

Sending print jobs over a network to the ColorPASS allows users to print documents directly from applications in which they are created. In addition, the ColorPASS offers an efﬁcient way to print ﬁles that have been saved as PostScript, Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Portable Document Format (PDF), or Tagged Image File Format (TIFF). These ﬁles can be downloaded directly to the ColorPASS.

Installation sequence

Chapter 2: Preparing for Installation

This chapter includes the following information:

•Summary of the installation sequence

• Checking the customer site

•Unpacking the ColorPASS

• ColorPASS front and back overview

Installation sequence

Familiarize yourself with this chapter and Chapter 3 of this guide before you attempt an installation. The installation sequence described in this chapter is designed to make your job as easy as possible. Installation problems are easier to avoid and diagnose if you proceed from the component to the system level and verify functionality at each stage. Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 outlines the recommended installation procedure for connecting the ColorPASS to the copier.

Because the ColorPASS is a node on the customer’s computer network, make sure you coordinate your scheduled installation with the network administrator at the customer site. Refer the network administrator to the Conﬁguration Guide for network setup information.

IGURE 2-1 Recommended installation steps and references

Checking the customer site

Before you install the ColorPASS, check site conditions and inform the customer of any installation requirements.

Copier model

❑ Is the service mode COPIER>OPTION>REMOTE set to 2?

❑ Is there space near the copier for the ColorPASS?

Make sure that there is space for the ColorPASS. Allow enough space at the back panel for the cables to route easily and at the side panel so that the ColorPASS does not interfere with use of or service to the copier (such as clearing a paper jam). You may need to move the copier away from the wall so that its interface connectors are accessible.

20cm+ (8 in.)

❑ Does the copier require service or adjustments?

Print the copier color test page before you install the ColorPASS. If the copied image indicates that the copier needs adjustment, inform the customer.

After getting approval, complete the copier service needed.

Power

❑ Is there a dedicated, grounded electrical outlet for the ColorPASS near the copier?

Locate the grounded electrical outlet that will supply power to the ColorPASS. You should not run the ColorPASS and the copier on the same circuit. Make sure to use a surge suppressor for the ColorPASS if the customer has provided one.

• Do not use a 3-prong adapter in a 2-hole ungrounded outlet.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Do not plug the ColorPASS into a circuit with heating or refrigeration equipment

(including water coolers).

• Do not plug the ColorPASS into a switchable wall outlet. Doing so may result in the

ColorPASS being powered off accidentally.

Preparing for Installation

Network

❑ What is the network cable and connection type?

•Unshielded twisted pair for 100/1000BaseT

❑ Is the network connection ready and tested for ColorPASS installation?

To verify that the network is functioning before you attach the ColorPASS:

• Ask the network administrator to print a document on a shared printer over

the network.

• Ask the network administrator to verify the computer and network requirements as

speciﬁed in Quick Start Guide.

System contact person

❑ Will the person responsible for the computers and the network be available at the time

set for installation? Find out the name of the system contact person.

Setting customer expectations

If the site is ready, installation takes about one hour. The customer should be informed of the following:

•Some nodes on the network may be unavailable for up to one hour.

• The copier may be unavailable for up to one hour.

• The network administrator needs to be available during the installation for

network connectivity. Equipment downtime and impact on the network can be minimized if the network

administrator installs a network connector for the ColorPASS and conﬁrms network functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled for the ColorPASS installation.

• The network administrator should have a networked computer available during the

installation. The appropriate software should already be installed. Documentation for the networked computer and the network operating software should be available.

• The network administrator should install the user software shipped with the

ColorPASS (user documentation is also included) onto networked PC and Mac OS computers that will print to the ColorPASS.

NOTE: This guide covers hardware installation and service. It provides general

information on connecting the ColorPASS to the customer’s network. Network setup and conﬁguration information goes beyond the scope of this guide. For network setup and conﬁguration information, refer the network administrator to the Conﬁguration Guide.

Unpacking the ColorPASS

The ColorPASS is assembled and shipped from the factory in a box that includes all necessary cables and documentation, as shown in Figure 2-2 on page 2-6.

TO UNPACK THE COLORPASS

1. Open the box and remove the packing material.

You may want to save the original boxes and packing materials if you need to transport the ColorPASS at a later date.

2. Remove the contents from the top container. Inspect the contents for visible damage. The top container should include the following items:

•Bags containing one copier interface cable and one or more AC power cables

(depending on the market region)

•Media package (includes CDs for system software, user software, and user

documentation)

3. Give the media package to the customer or the network administrator.

Let the customer or network administrator know that in order to take full advantage of the ColorPASS, the user software must be installed on computers that will print to the ColorPASS.

4. Set aside the remaining components from the top container.

5. Remove the top container and any packing materials.

Set aside the packing material and note the orientation of the ColorPASS inside the shipping container, in case you need to repack it later.

6. Carefully lift the ColorPASS out of the box.

If you notice shipping damage to any component, be sure to save the shipping container in case the carrier needs to see it. Call the carrier immediately to report the damage and ﬁle a claim, then call your authorized service/support center. Be ready to furnish the serial number printed on the back of the ColorPASS.
