SYMPTOM

In cases where the country code has been changed to France (00), the following error is displayed as soon as the quick dial key is selected: "This destination is not available. Please check FAX number".

CAUSE

The communication switch 06 bit 4 mode is a carryover from the previous model and is not used in the Russian-C1. However, the software activates the mode by changing the value from 0 to 1 when the country code is changed to 00. For modes that are carried over but not meant to be used, the software will normally not do this.

SOLUTION

After changing the country code to France (00) at installation, communication switch 06 bit 04 should be disabled by changing the value from 1 to 0.

As a permanent solution, a modified version (ver. 13.04) of the software has been released.

However, when the operator brings the machine out of the mode and returns to System Settings or Copy Features (both inside user tools), a message is displayed asking the operator to wait and the machine returns to the main copy screen. At this time, the LED for the user tools key is lit, and all indicators except the LCD report that the machine is st ill in User Tools.

If the operator enters System Settings or Copy Features (both inside user tools) from Fax, Printer or Scanner mode while a duplex or staple copy job is in progress, the “Copy in progress” screen is displayed.

The message is still displayed even if the operator presses the User Tools Key to return to the main copy screen after the copy job finishes.

If a jam occurs while printing out a counter report, the jam indication is displayed but soon disappears. The machine then returns to the counter display screen. In addition, if the paper end condition occurs while the paper is being fed, the machine returns to the counter display screen without properly displaying “Set A4 (81/2 X 11) paper in tray”.

SYMPTOM

When using the scanner function, the machine sometimes scans part of the exposure glass scale and the edge of the original. A black line appears on the scanned image.

CAUSE

Scanning starts from the upper-le ft hand corner o f the exposur e glass. Ther e for e, w hen the original is curled or not lined up flush against this corner (platen mode) or when DF feed is late (ADF mode), the machine scans part of the exposure glass scale and the edge of the original.

SOLUTION

A new scanner SP mode has been added (SP017, “Trimming”) so that the scanning margin can be adjusted. This SP mode was made available with the release of scanner controller firmware version 4.0.0. After installing to perform SP006 to reset the UP and SP settings related to the scanner.

The details of this SP mode are as follows: Scanner SP017

No Function Settings

017 Trimming

Adjusts the scanning margins for both the main and sub scan directions.

The larger the value, the wider the margin.

Note:

This problem occurs only when the machine is set to scan the entire original, not when scanning a selected area within the original. Therefore, this SP mode does not apply to cases where the Preview function is used.

Examples:

1. When the machine scans an A4 sized original in Platen Mode and the value of SP017 is 5 (illustration 1 below):

Since the scanning start position is at “A”, margins will placed at 5 mm from the left and right edges (main scan) as well as from the leading and trailing edges (sub -scan). Any image within 5 mm of the four edges will be erased.

2. When scanning a selec ted area with the P r eview function in Platen Mode and the value of SP017 is 5 (illustration 1):

Since scanning starts from point “B”, the 5 mm margin is not applied to the selected area, and nothing in this area is erased along either scan direction.

3. When the machine scans an A4 sized original in ADF mode and t he value of SP017 is 5 (illustration 2):

Date:

No.:

RA265006

In ADF mode, the original is centered along the main scan direction. Although the subscan direction margins are applied to the original (as in example 1), the main scan margins will not appear (left/right edges). This is because the machine applies the 5 mm main scan margin using reference point “C” (where scanning begins), and so the centered A4 original is too narrow for the main scan margin to appear.

Retrofit information

This RTB informs possible compatibility problems with the Printer Hard Disk Type 185 (model code: G690-06).

This hard disk unit can be used in the following models.

• Stinger-C (Stinger-C1L) printer option

• Russian-C printer option

• Russian-P

Background

The production of the current 1.6 GB hard disk unit will be discontinued in March ’00, and the new 6.0 GB hard disk will be used from April.

When the new 6.0 GB hard disk unit is installed in the machine with a previous version of the controller software, an error may occur.

Please note that the controller firmware has been modified from January ’00 production (for all above models) so the machines are compatible with both the old 1.6 GB and the new 6.0 GB hard disk unit.

Retrofit information

This RTB informs of possible problems when using the NIB NVRAM backup and restore function.

Symptom

The machine may not start up after the NIB NVRAM backup procedure (Service Tool: NIB read/write). This problem may occur after the NIB NVRAM data is backed up to the controller (data copy direction: “NIB -> CTL”). This is because the NVRAM is not big enough to store all the NIB data.

Note: The NIB NVRAM backup and restore procedure is required only when replacing the

NIB.

Solution

Do not use the NIB NVRAM backup (and restore) procedure.

If the machine does not start up after performing this function, you must download the controller firmware using the error recovery firmware update procedure. (This procedure will force the controller to boot from the IC card. Please refer to section

4.5.2 of the service manual for the detailed procedure.)

The controller firmware will be modified so this function will no longer be valid. It will not be shown in the Service Tools. The firmware is modified from the April ’00 production (version 1.3.6). Currently there is no way to enable this function because the current NVRAM on the controller board is not big enough to store all the NIB NVRAM data.

After replacing a NIB, please input the data manually.

Printer Controller Service Manual (B306) Correction

The printer controller manual should be corrected as follows.

1. Delete the column for the Service Tools – L (NIB Read/Write) on page 4-2.

2. Delete section 4.4.3 NIB NVRAM BACKUP AND RESTORE on page 4-7.

When using the Create Margin Transmission function and the rear side image needs to be rotated 180 degrees, the margin for the rear side is placed on the right (instead of the left). A ghost image may appear on the left of the page in JBIG direct transmission mode during dual operation. (The page width data is occasionally not received before making the page.)

Symptom Corrected

A communication error occurs when the modem data is erased by a loader malfunction. The malfunction is caused by a buildup of static electricity. Note: * Panasonic modem only.

* The loader is a function normally contained in the modem software that allows it to be overwritten to a newer version.

Version

To prevent this error, the manufacturer has removed the loader function from ROM version 0334. This function was also removed because the manufacturer does not intend to release any versions after 0334, as it has judged that the need will not arise in the field. As a result, customers who use an SG3 option with ver.0334 will need a technician to install a new SG3 board to update to the next version (if released).
