Function improvement

Measures against the wrong detection of the cassette

[Affected cassettes] Cassettes in the main unit, PF-471, PF-470

Engine firmware PF-471/470 firmware

The message [Error occurred at cassette X] might be displayed if the machine was left without operation after turning the main power ON. (The message is displayed when the lift plate does not arrive at the detecting point within a certain time, and it can be reset by opening and closing of the cassette.) Therefore, this was corrected. [Cause] The upper limit detection of the cassette lift plate may fail because of the misalignment between the software and hardware detections due to slight change of voltage output from the waiting detection sensor. [Change] The change was made so that the lift plate can be detected and lifted up at the following timing only while the upper limit of the lift plate is conventionally always detected.

- While feeding paper (same timing to turn the feeding clutch ON)

- When the cassette is opened and closed

- When the main power is turned OFF and ON

- When the machine recovers from the sleep mode <Error indication (Sample)>

<Date>December 21, 2012

Topic

The engine firmware and the PF firmware were upgraded as follows.

Content of changes

1. Measures against the wrong detection of the cassette.

2. Measures against the JAM0100 (for monochrome MFPs only)

3. Improvement for the cleaning failure in the intermediate transfer unit (for color MFPs only)

* Upgrade Packs for the HyPAS models will be set up when the main firmware is upgraded next time.

Please refer to the page 3 and following for the firmware version table.

Measures against the JAM0100

JAM0100: Secondary paper

feed request time out

[Affected model] Monochrome MFPs only

If KYOcontrol is installed, JAM0100 might occur when outputting. Therefore, this was corrected.

Specifications change

Improvement for the cleaning failure in the intermediate transfer unit.

[Affected model] Color MFPs only

The following changes were made in order to improve the cleaning function after the use count and the timing to apply the cleaning voltage were reviewed.

1) The initial settings of the voltage for the intermediate transfer cleaning were changed. Also, the compensation function was added to reset the setting value when 20K is reached.

U107 [Setting the voltage for the intermediate transfer cleaning]

--> Belt(A)

The voltage control shifts to the value for over 20K although the value

indicated on the panel at the maintenance mode U107 remains unchanged after the count exceeds 20K.

(Related Service Bulletins: SB-2MY-0005-C240 and SB-2KZ-0031-

C258)

2) The timing to turn the brush motor ON is now 150msec later than the timing to turn the cleaning voltage ON since the cleaning voltage may not be output due to the friction electrical current generated by turning the cleaning voltage and the brush motor ON at the same time.
