Precautions

Precautions
Always observe the following general precautions when installing and servicing the E-800A:
1. Report any shipping damage.
If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to the E-800A packing boxes or their contents, save the damaged boxes and parts, call the shipper immediately to le a claim, and notify your authorized service/support center.
2. Never alter an existing network without permission.
The E-800A will probably be connected 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 system or network administrator or the shop supervisor.
3. Never assign an IP address in the E-800A Network Setup.
Only the network administrator should assign an IP address to a network device. Assigning the E-800A an incorrect IP address may cause unpredictable errors on any or all devices connected to the network.
4. Always disconnect power before opening the E-800A.
5. Handle the E-800A Control Panel display window with care.
The E-800A display window is made of glass. If the glass breaks and the liquid crystal inside leaks out, avoid contact with it. If you do come in contact with the liquid crystal, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
6. Avoid pressing the surface of the display window.
Applying pressure to the display window will cause it to change color.
7. Use a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl or ethyl alcohol to clean the surface of the E-800A display window.
Other solvents, such as water, may damage the polarizer on the display window.
xiii
Page 14
Preface
8. Use care when handling parts of the E-800A as some edges on the unit may be sharp. For example, be careful when:
Accessing the CD-ROM/ZIP drive (keep the drive door closed when not in use)
Plugging in cables at the back of the unit
Using the power switch to power on/off the unit
9. Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions while working on the internal components of the E-800A.
Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area around the copier and the E-800A is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes, synthetic clothing bers, 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 grounding strap, 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 unpack the E-800A from the carton for the rst time, touch a metal area of
the copier to discharge the static on your body.
Before you remove the E-800A side panel and before y ou handle internal components,
touch a metal part of the E-800A.
Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to
install them. When you remove components from an antistatic bag, place them on a grounded antistatic surface, component-side up.
When you remove an electronic component, place it into an antistatic bag
immediately. Do not walk across a carpet or vinyl oor while carrying an unprotected board.
10. Handle printed circuit boards by their opposing edges only, and avoid touching the contacts on the edge of the board.
11. Never set a cup of coffee—or any liquid—on or near the E-800A or the copier.

Introduction

How the E-800A operates
The E-800A enables the customer to use a color copier as a printer and scanner. Users can print to the E-800A from networked PCs running Microsoft Windows, from networked Mac OS computers, and from networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP.
The E-800A custom-designed boards and system software are responsible for efcient image processing and printing controls. The main functions of E-800A components and software are described below.
The E-800A uses specialized circuit boards, the motherboard and the copier interface board to process image data for printing and scanning images.
The motherboard includes a 500MHz CPU which controls the image data transfer to and from the copier interface board and runs the interpreter. The interpreter rasterizes the page description le and then compresses the image pattern into memory using compression technology.
The interpreter outputs compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to the E-800A copier interface board. The copier interface board decompr esses the image data and sends it to the copier through the copier interface cable. The raster data supplied to the laser in the copier charges the drum and renders the nal image on paper at full copier engine speed.
High-speed DIMMs (dual in-line memory modules) on the motherboard hold the image data during printing. The E-800A is congured with 320MB of memory.
When Fiery Scan™ uses the copier as a scanner, the E-800A acquires RGB (red, green, and blue) image data from the copier, stores it in memory, and transmits it to the computer that requested the scan.

Checking the customer site
Before you install the E-800A, check site conditions and inform the customer of any installation requirements.
Copier model
What copier model is installed? Is there space near the copier for the E-800A?
Make sure that there is space for the E-800A. You may need to move the copier out from the wall for easier access to the connectors.
Does the copier require service or adjustments?
Copy the copier color test page before you install the E-800A. If the copied image indicates that the copier needs adjustment, inform the customer.
After getting approval, complete the copier service needed.
Power
Is there a dedicated grounded electrical outlet near the copier for the E-800A?
Locate the grounded electrical outlet that will supply power to the E-800A. You should not run the E-800A and the copier on the same circuit. Use a surge suppressor for the E-800A.
Do not use a 3-prong adapter in a 2-hole ungrounded outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not plug the E-800A into a circuit with heating or refrigeration equipment
(including water coolers).
Do not plug the E-800A into a switchable wall outlet. This can result in the E-800A
being turned off accidentally.
Network
What is the network cable and connection type?
Unshielded twisted pair (10BaseT/100BaseT)
Optional Token Ring (shielded twisted pair or unshielded twisted pair)?
Is the network connection ready and tested for E-800A installation?
To verify that the network is functioning before you attach the E-800A:
Ask the network administrator to print a document on a shared printer over the
network.
2-3
Page 26
Preparing for Installation
2
Ask the network administrator to verify the computer and network requirements as
specied in Getting Started.
System contact person
Will the person responsible for the computers and the network be available at the time
set for installation? Get a name as a contact.

Setting customer expectations

If the site is ready, installation takes about one hour. The customer should be informed of the following:
Some nodes on the network may be unavailable for up to one hour.
The copier may be unavailable for up to one hour.
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-800A and conrms network functionality with the connector in place before the date scheduled for the E-800A 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-800A
(user documentation is also included) onto networked PC and Mac OS computers that will print to the E-800A.
NOTE: This guide covers E-800A hardware installation and service. It provides general
information on connecting the E-800A to the customer’s network. Network setup and conguration information goes beyond the scope of this guide. For network setup and conguration information, the network administrator should use the Configuration Guide.

Checking E-800A internal connections
The most common causes of hardware problems are faulty and loose connections. Before you conclude that any board or component has failed, remove, inspect, and reseat all appropriate connections, and then verify that the problem still occurs.
TO CHECK BOARD AND CABLE CONNECTIONS
1. Before you touch any parts inside the E-800A, attach a grounding wrist strap. Touching the metal part of the power supply case inside the E-800A also discharges static electricity.
2. Position the E-800A so it is resting on its side and the internal components of the E-800A are facing up.
3. Inspect the E-800A boards for secure insertion into the motherboard. Press down firmly on each board to make sure it is securely installed.
Looking into the tray from the top, the standard board conguration includes the following (from top to bottom):
Connector PCI1IX UIB board Connector PCI2Empty Connector AGPAGP video board Connector PCI3Empty Connector PCI4Empty
4-8
Connector PCI5Copier interface board Connector PCI6Empty Connector SlotA1Empty
4. Inspect ribbon cables to see if they are intact.
Faulty ribbon cables are easily overlooked. Check the contact point between the cable and the connector to ensure that they have not separated. If a ribbon cable is suspect, substitute it with a tested cable.
5. Make sure that all E-800A ribbon cables and power cables are seated on connectors. See Figure 4-6 on page 4-9.
Cable connectors are keyed to t only when properly oriented.
6. Check the front fan, back panel fan, CPU fan, and reset cable connections to the motherboard.
7. After tightening connections, if one or more E-800A components are still not getting power, see “Checking voltages” on page 4-40.
