INTRODUCTION

Terminology and conv entions

The term “ColorPASS” is used throughout this manual to refer to the ColorPASS-Z40e/ Z20e and PS-NX40W/20W.

The term “ColorPASS” is used in this manual to refer to the ColorPASS-Z40 Color Server.

The term “Network administrator” refers to the person responsible for maintaining the network at the customer site.

The term “Control Panel” refers to the area on the top of the ColorPASS including the green/red activity light, the display window (LCD-liquid crystal display), and the buttons on the sides of the display window.

The term “System software” refers to the software installed on the ColorPASS hard disk drive.

References to other ColorPASS manuals, such as the Configuration Guide, are displayed in italics.

Precautions

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

1. Never alter an existing network without permission.

The ColorPASS will probably be connected to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) based on Ethernet or Token Ring 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.

2. Never enter an IP address in ColorPASS Network Setup.

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

3. Always disconnect power before openig the ColorPASS.

4. Handle the ColorPASS Control Panel display window with care.

The ColorPASS display window is made of glass. If the glass breaks and the liquid crystal inside leaks out, avoid contact with it. If you do come in contact with the liquid crystal, wash it off with soap and water immediately.

5. Avoid pressing the surface of the display window.

Applying pressure to the display window will cause it to change color.

6. Use a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl or ethyl alcohol to clean the surface of the

ColorPASS display window. Other solvents, such as water, may damage the polarizer on the display window.

7. Use care when handling parts of the ColorPASS as some edges on the unit may be

sharp. For example, be careful when:

• Plugging in cables at the back of the unit

• Using the power switch to power on/off the unit

INTRODUCTION

8. Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions while working on the internal components of the ColorPASS. 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.

• 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 ColorPASS side panel and before you handle internal compo-

nents, 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 immedi-

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

9. Handle printed circuit boards by their edges only, but avoid touching the contacts on the edge of the board.

10. Never set a cup of coffee-or any liquid-on or near the ColorPASS or the copier.

INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1 Features

The ColorPASS Color Server adds computer connectivity and highly efficient Adobe

PostScript 3 color printing capability to color copiers. It is optimized for high-speed network communications, processing, rasterization, and printing of continuous tone color and monochrome pages.

The ColorPASS, as an integral part of a color printing system, enables users to:

• Send images over AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and Novell networks to print on ColorPASS supported devices.

• Spool print jobs and select a printing priority for each job. Users can control spooled print jobs sent to the ColorPASS with remote user software running on networked PC and Mac OS computers.

• Print files in color, grayscale, and black and white.

• Use the copier as a high-resolution color scanner with Fiery Scan software.

• Use 136 resident PostScript fonts (126 Adobe Type 1 PostScript, and 10 TrueType), plus two Adobe Multiple Master fonts used for font substitution when printing PDF files. Fiery Downloader or any third-party LaserWriter downloader, such as the Adobe Font Downloader, can be used to download additional fonts.

• Use built-in ColorWise™ color management and NetWise™ network features.

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

2 Outline of Operation

2.1 Outline

The ColorPASS enables the customer to use a color 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.

2.2 Operation

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

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

The motherboard includes a 433MHz CPU chip which controls the image data transfer to and from the video board and runs the interpreter. The interpreter rasterizes the page description file and then compresses the image pattern into memory using compression technology.

The interpreter outputs compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to the ColorPASS video board. The video 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 engine speed.

High-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the motherboard hold the image data during printing. The ColorPASS is configured with 128MB of memory.

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

CHAPTER 2 PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

2.2 Power

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

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. Use a surge suppressor for the ColorPASS.

• 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. This can result in the ColorPASS being turned off accidentally.

2.3 Network

■ What is the network cable and connection type?

■ 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 Getting Started.

2.4 System Contact Person

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

set for installation? Get a name as a contact.

2.5 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.
