Corrected: “Making ID Sensor Patterns” paragraph
Making ID Sensor Patterns
The machine makes two different ID sensor patterns, one for Low Duty Mode and one for High Duty Mode. The mode is determined by SP 2201 004.
If the average copy volume is high (2.5 km/month or more), this SP should be
switched to High Duty Mode to prevent toner scattering.
However, if the machine is in High Duty Mode and the average copy volume becomes low again, the image density may decrease. If this happens, switch back to Low Duty Mode.
The ID sensor pattern development bias voltages for high and low duty modes can be adjusted with SP 2201 002 and 003, as shown in the following table.

SYMPTOM
When HDD Spindle Control is disabled (default), SC980 may occur just after the machine recovers from Auto Off / Panel Off.
CAUSE
When the machine is brought out of these modes, it is able to warm up quicker than when the main power is turned on, and therefore checks the HDD status at an earlier point. However since the HDD must warm up from a stop, it does not reach the ready speed in time and a mainframe/HDD communication error occurs.
SOLUTION
The default setting for HDD Spindle Control (SP4960-005, 006) has been changed from Off ! On, which keeps the HDD rotating constantly.
Cut-in serial numbers:
B010-17: From 1st production
B010-22: From 1st production

ACTION IN THE FIELD

1. SP4960 005,006 (HDD Spindle Control) setting changed Symptom
When HDD Spindle Control is disabled (default), SC980 may occur just after the machine recovers from Auto Off / Panel Off. Cause: When the machine is brought out of these modes, it is able to warm up quicker than when the main power is turned on, and therefore checks the HDD status at an earlier point.

2. New UP mode added (Weekly Output Volume)
To prevent toner scattering from the development unit (see the conditions below), the “Weekly Output Volume” setting has been added to System Setting – General Features.
Symptom
When customers use low duty mode to make high-volume copy jobs (relative to the ACV), the toner concentration in the development unit increases. This causes the oversupplied toner to drop onto the copies, especially under low temperature conditions.
Solution
Change the “Weekly Output Volume” according to the customer’s average weekly copy volume from inside System Setting – General Features:
Less than 750m (2,500 ft): Low duty mode (default). More than 750m (2,500 ft): High duty mode
Action in the field
Please instruct customers on the following points at machine installation:
1) Method for how to enter UP Mode and change the Weekly Output Volume value.
2) For the first 1-2 months following installation, have the customers keep track of their copy
volumes at weekly intervals. The weekly changes in CV over this time will enable them to decide which of the two settings is best for them. Note: For customers installing the Dolphin as a replacement machine, please use the weekly ACV on the previous machine for reference and set the Weekly Output Volume accordingly (as a starting point).
3) During these first couple of months, if the average weekly copy volume exceeds 750m (2,500
ft), please have the customer change the setting of the Weekly Output Volume to “More than 750m (2,500 ft)”.
Note: Please also check the total counter value at PM visits, calculate the weekly CV, and if necessary change the Weekly Output Volume setting.

The four symptoms listed below tend to occur if the toner cartridge is not shaken properly before it is inserted into the toner hopper. This is because transport and storage conditions can cause the toner to bunch together, which prevents the toner agitator from rotating properly.
Please be sure to remind the customer at installation that it is very important to shake the bottle 5 to 10 times before inserting it into the hopper. This is also mentioned on the decal on the left side of the machine.
1) The toner supply drive gears (B0103126, AB017539) break.
2) The shaft for these drive gears break.
Note: In this case, it is necessary to replace the development unit.
3) The toner hopper cover opens during copying.
4) Add Toner is displayed again soon after replacing the cartridge.

1. New SP Mode added to enable the Ready Temperature Setting function (SP1917)
This has been added in order to prevent insufficient fusing with translucent paper when making copies just after the machine is turned on. The settings for this mode are as follows:

1917 Ready Temp. Setting Select the ready fusing temperature.
[0 ~ 2/ 0 / 1 step]
0: Standard (143ûC)

The default of this mode was changed from "3 seconds" to "instant" for use with the Printer/Scanner controller.

3. Design-use SP Modes added
SP5959 and SP5957 have been newly added. However, these are strictly for design use only. Please do not change the values in the field. The defaults are as follows:
SP5959OFF SP5957Disabled
The following items (4 ~9) have been corrected in this version.
4. SMC printout onto undefined paper sizes
In response to a request from the field, the SMC printouts can now be printed onto any paper size that can be loaded into the paper trays.
5. Occurrence conditions changed for SC353
SC353 will not be displayed during Toner End. This was changed because sometimes when copying originals with a very high image area ratio, SC353 would occur unnecessarily when the ID sensor pattern density dropped and the Near End condition was detected.
6. Jam Recovery
The machine was sometimes unable to perform successful jam recovery if a jam occurred while printing out a series of preset jobs.
7. Display error - number of jobs
Even after being cancelled, a preset job is not subtracted from the total job count.

8. Part of image missing when printing out "Additional Copies" with electronic sort, mixed original mode
Following a mixed-original electronic sorting job, the machine is still set to use the paper roll it did for the last copy. Therefore when "Additional Copies" are initiated, instead of resetting the paper roll to the initial one, the machine starts printing out onto the most recently used roll, cutting off some of the image. The software was corrected so that copies of any additional sets are printed out onto their correct sizes, i.e. as originally set in the initial job.
9. Unlimited scanning before beginning a copy job
The software was changed so that when the Print Start Trigger is set to "press start key", originals can be scanned an unlimited number of times before initiating the copy job. Each time a new scan is initiated, the previous scan data is overwritten.

After replacing the MCU, please send back the old MCU (suffix A or B) to the location that sent you the new MCU.
MCU REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
Caution: Be sure to unplug the power cord before starting the following procedure.
1. Remove the right rear cover [A] (5 screws).
