Printer/Scanner

 The SP model already contains printer and scanner features.

 No set-up is needed at installation.

 The basic models can be upgraded as follows:

 To the basic model, add a printer unit and 512 MB memory, to make a

copier/printer model.

 Then, to the copier/printer model, you can add a scanner enhanceoption,

to make an SP model.

-or –

 To the basic model, add a printer/scanner unit and 512 MB memory to

make an SP model.

-also -

 To add Document Box to the basic model without upgrading to an SP

model, the optional hard disk must be installed.

 The printer enhance option and the printer/scanner option both contain a

hard disk.

 It is not possible to install a scanner option without the printer option.
 NA models only: Note that the 512 MB memory is included in the printer

and printer/scanner upgrade kits.

 The options mentioned on this slide are all new.

 The next slide shows the above in a graphic format.
 Printer drivers are PCL and PDF direct. Postscript 3 is an option. There is no

RPCS.

Fax Unit

 In this fax unit, the FCU and MBU boards have been

combined. Because of this, the data backup procedure has
been changed.

 The optional memory module is the same as previous

models.

 The FCU contains the ROM, SRAM and NCU circuits.
 Fax Options:

 Handset (for the USA): This is a new model.
 Extra G3 Interface option: This provides one more analog

line interface. This allows full dual access. Two extra G3
interface options can be installed.

 Memory Expansion: This expands the SAF memory and the

page memory (used for image rotation); without this
expansion, the page memory is not big enough for image
rotation at 400 dpi, so transmission at 400 dpi is not
possible.
