The caution icon indicates a need for special care and safety when handling the equipment.

Precautions

Always observe the following general precautions when installing and servicing the E-650:

1. Report any shipping damage.

If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to packing boxes or their contents, save the damaged boxes and parts, call the shipper immediately to ﬁle a claim, and notify your authorized service/support center.

2. Never alter an existing network without permission.

The E-650 probably connects to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) based on Ethernet hardware. The network is the link between the customer’s computer, existing laser printers, and other prepress equipment. Never disturb the LAN by breaking or making a network connection, altering termination, installing or removing networking hardware or software, or shutting down networked devices without the knowledge and express permission of the network administrator.

3. Never enter an IP address in Network Setup.

Only the network administrator should enter an IP address on a network device. Assigning an incorrect IP address to the E-650 can cause unpredictable errors on any or all devices.

4. Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions while working on the internal components of the copier.

Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area around the copier is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes, synthetic clothing ﬁbers, silks, and plastics may generate a static charge of more than 10,000 volts. Static discharge is capable of destroying the circuits etched in silicon microchips, or dramatically shortening their life span. By observing standard precautions, you may avoid extra service calls and save the cost of a new board.

When possible, work on a ground-connected antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic wristband, grounded at the same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible:

• Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.

• When you remove an electronic component, place it into an antistatic bag

immediately. Do not walk across a carpet or vinyl ﬂoor while carrying an unprotected board.

• Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to

install them.

• When you unpack the electronic components, touch a metal area of the copier to

discharge the static on your body. Place the components on a grounded antistatic surface, component-side up.

xiii

Preface

5. Avoid ﬂexing printed circuit boards and handle them by opposing edges (not corners) only.

6. Never set a cup of coffee—or any liquid—on or near any components or the copier.

Tools you will need

To service the E-650, you should bring the following:

• ESD wrist grounding strap

• Antistatic mat

• #0, #1, and #2 Phillips head screwdrivers (non-magnetic)

• 3/16" hex nut driver (recommended)

• Small ﬂat-blade screwdriver (non-magnetic)

• Small needlenose pliers

• Flashlight

• This guide and any technical notes you may have for the E-650.

Features

Chapter 1: Introduction

The E-650 is a high performance embedded color controller that provides computer connectivity and highly efﬁcient color printing capability to digital color copiers. It is optimized for high-speed communications, processing, rasterization, and printing of continuous tone color and monochrome (black and white) pages. Users can print from networked Mac OS computers (version 7.6 or later), from networked PCs running Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windo ws 98, and from UNIX workstations. I n addition, the E-650 parallel port can be used for printing directly from a PC.

Features

As an integral part of the printing system, the E-650 enables users to:

• Send images over AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and Novell networks, or through the parallel

port to print on a copier.

• Spool print jobs and select a printing priority for each job. Users can control spooled

print jobs sent to the E-650 with user software running on networked Mac OS computers and PCs.

• Print ﬁles in color, grayscale, and black and white.

• Use PostScript fonts. The customer can download additional fonts, as needed.

• Use built-in ColorWise

Introduction

How the E-650 operates

The E-650 provides efﬁcient image processing and printing control. The E-650 board includes a MIPS R5000 RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) CPU with a built-in ﬂoating point accelerator that runs the PostScript Interpreter. It interprets a page description ﬁle to produce the image pattern in memory. The RipChips™ on the board control data management and other system functions, freeing up the CPU for efﬁcient image data processing.

Two high-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the E-650 board hold image data during printing. The standard memory conﬁguration is 256MB.

With the Fiery Scan TWAIN plug-in, the E-650 acquires RGB (red, green, blue) image data from the copier, stor es it in memory, and transmits it to the computer that requested the scan.

The PCI-based video interface board provides communication with the color engine. Image data is sent via the video interface connector on the video interface board that attaches to both the E-650 board and the copier I/F unit. Raster data is supplied to the laser in the copier at full copier rated speeds.

E-650 print options

The E-650’s efﬁcient PostScript capabilities allow customers to use a variety of applications to create printed color or black and white pages of text and/or images. The E-650 operates both over a network and directly over the parallel port. Since the E-650 has the ability to print an image while processing the next image (RIP-While-Print™), it is capable of printing documents at full copier speeds.

Users can print documents directly from the applications in which they were created. In addition, the E-650 offers an efﬁcient way to print ﬁles that have been saved in PostScript, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript), or PDF format. These ﬁles can be downloaded directly to the E-650 using the Fiery Downloader, a r emote utility provided with E-650.

Through the parallel port, customers can print documents directly from applications running on a stand-alone or networked PC. PostScript ﬁles can also be printed to the parallel port from Windows, including the MS-DOS window, without requiring the applications in which the ﬁles were created.

Setting customer expectations

Chapter 2: Installation

This chapter describes the process for installing the E-650 kit in the I/F unit. Topics include setting customer expectations, unpacking the E-650, and performing the installation.

Setting customer expectations

The customer should be informed of the following:

• Some nodes on the network may be unavailable during the installation.

• The network administrator needs to be available during the installation for network

connectivity. Equipment downtime and impact on the network can be minimized if the network

administrator installs a network connector for the E-650 and conﬁrms network functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled for the installation.

• The network administrator should have a networked computer available during the

installation. The appropriate software should already be installed. Documentation for the networked computer and the network operating software should be available.

• The network administrator should install the user software shipped with the E-650 (a

package of user documentation is also included) onto networked Mac OS computers and PCs that will print to the E-650.

NOTE: This guide covers E-650 hardware installation and service. It provides general

information on connecting the E-650 to the customer’s network. Network setup and conﬁguration information go beyond the scope of this guide. For network setup and conﬁguration information, the network administrator should refer to the Administrator Guide.
