1.2.9 Operating Specification

1.2.9.1 How to Open Bins
1. Display is changed to user authentication mode when the Open button on the Multibin Unit is pressed.
Display: Enter Password = XXXX
NOTE: When the Open button on the Multibin Unit is pressed, the
LED of the bin(s) for which password is disabled goes on. At this time, this bin(s) can be opened. If there is no bin for which password is enab led , Enter Password=XXXX is not displayed, and Open Multibin Unit is displayed.
2. Enter password by pressing 4 switches, and all bins which matched the password will open. The LED of the bin(s) that can be opened goes o n, and Open Multibin Unit is displayed on the LCD. If the entered password is incorrect, Password Error is displayed for two seconds, and Enter Pasword=XXXX is once again displayed afterwards.
3. The bin(s) will be automatically locked 20 seconds after the Open button is pressed. The Unit goes Off-Line when the Open button is pressed, and for the next 20 seconds, no operation on the panel except for entering password is possible.
1.2.9.2 Period in which the Multibin Unit can be opened
o Can be opened When the printer is in a status of lower priority
than XXX Error yyy.
o Cannot be opened During the printer is in SelecType mode, or
during printing.
NOTE: Bins can be opened when the Multibin Unit is not installed on
