Precautions

Always observe the following general precautions when installing
and servicing the Fiery XJ-R/R2:

1. Report any shipping damage.

If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to the
Fiery XJ-R/R2 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 Fiery XJ-R/R2 will probably be connected to an existing
Local Area Network (LAN) based on Ethernet
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

®

hardware. The

xii

PrefaceInstallation and Service Guide

software, or shutting down networked devices without the
knowledge and express permission of the system or network
administrator or the shop supervisor.

3. Never enter an IP address in Fiery XJ-R/R2 Network Setup.

Only the network administrator should enter an IP address on a
network device. Assigning a Fiery XJ-R/R2 an incorrect IP
address can cause unpredictable errors on any or all devices
connected to the network.

4. Always disconnect power before opening the Fiery XJ-R/R2
chassis.

Although Fiery XJ-R/R2 circuitry operates on 5V DC and 12V
DC, 115V AC is present when the chassis cover is removed.
Before you service the Fiery XJ-R/R2, shut it down completely
(switch the Fiery XJ-R/R2 off and unplug the AC power cord
from the rear of the Fiery XJ-R/R2).

5. Handle the Fiery XJ-R/R2 Control Panel display window with care.

The Fiery XJ-R/R2 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 Fiery XJ-R/R2 display window.

Other solvents, such as water, may damage the polarizer on the
display window.

8. Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions while
working on the internal components of the Fiery XJ-R/R2.

Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is
highly unlikely that the area around the copier and the
Fiery XJ-R/R2 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:

xiii

Installation and Service Guide

Preface

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

• When you unpack the Fiery XJ-R/R2 from the carton for
the first time, touch a metal area of the copier to discharge
the static on your body.

• Before you remove the Fiery XJ-R/R2 cover and before you
handle internal components, touch a metal part of the
Fiery XJ-R/R2 chassis.

• 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 floor while carrying an unprotected board.

9. Handle printed circuit boards by their edges only, but avoid
touching the contacts on the edge of the board.

10. Never set a cup of coffee—or any liquid—on or near the
Fiery XJ-R/R2 or the copier.

Tools you will need

To install or service the Fiery XJ-R/R2, you should bring the
following tools and parts:

• ESD wrist grounding strap

• Wire cutters

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

• Small flat-blade screwdriver (non-magnetic)

• Small needlenosed pliers

• 5/16" wrench

• Flashlight
You should also bring this guide and the latest Fiery XJ-R/R2

Installation and Service Guide

1: Introduction

How the Fiery XJ-R/R2 operates

The Fiery XJ-R/R2 enables the customer to use a color copier as a
printer and scanner. Users can print to the Fiery XJ-R/R2 from
networked Apple Macintosh computers, from networked IBM PC
or compatible computers running Microsoft
networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP. In addition, the
Fiery XJ-R/R2 parallel port can be used to print directly from a PC.

The Fiery XJ-R/R2’s custom-designed boards and operating
software are responsible for the Fiery XJ-R/R2’s efficient image
processing and printing controls. The main functions of
Fiery XJ-R/R2 components and software are described below.

The Fiery XJ-R/R2 uses two specialized circuit boards to process
image data for printing and scanning color images: the motherboard
and the video interface board.

®

Windows

™

, and from

The motherboard includes a MIPS R4600/4700 RISC (Reduced
Instruction Set Computer) CPU with a built-in floating point
accelerator that runs the CPSI (Configurable PostScript
Interpreter). The CPSI (an implementation of Adobe’s PostScript
language) interprets the PostScript page description file to produce

™

the image pattern in memory. The RipChips

on the motherboard
control data management and other system functions, freeing up
the CPU for efficient image data processing.

High-speed SIMMs (single in-line memory modules) on the
motherboard hold the color image data during printing.
Fiery XJ-R/R2 SIMM configurations include 48, 80, 128, and
256MB (see "SIMMs" on page 5-31).

The CPSI outputs raster data to the Fiery XJ-R/R2 video interface
board. Image data is sent from the external video interface board
connector (through the copier interface cable) to the copier’s
interface port. The raster data is supplied to the laser in the copier at
full copier rates in order to charge the drum and render the final
image on paper.

When Fiery XJ Scan software uses the copier as a scanner, the
Fiery XJ-R/R2 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.

Installation and Service Guide

Chapter 2: Preparing for Fiery XJ-R/R2 Installation 2

This chapter includes the following information:

• Summary of the Fiery XJ-R/R2 installation procedure

• Preparing a customer site for Fiery XJ-R/R2 installation

• Unpacking the Fiery XJ-R/R2

Overview of the installation procedure

Familiarize yourself with Chapters 2 through 4 of this guide before
you attempt an installation. The installation sequence described in
this chapter is designed to make your job as easy as possible.
Installation problems are easier to avoid and diagnose if you proceed
from the component to the system level and verify functionality at
each stage. Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 outlines the recommended
installation procedure for connecting the Fiery XJ-R/R2 to a single
copier.

Because the Fiery XJ-R/R2 is a component of the customer’s
computer network, make sure that you coordinate your scheduled
installation with the network administrator at the customer site.
Refer the network administrator to the Administrator Guide for
network setup information.

For sites that print to the Fiery XJ-R/R2 through a parallel
(Centronics) port, you will need the parallel (Centronics) printer
cable shipped with the Fiery XJ-R/R2. If you use your own parallel
printer cable, it must have a male 36-pin D-shell connector on one
end and a 25-pin male D-sub, shielded connector at the other end,
and cannot be more than six feet long. Because of the cable
arrangement necessary to connect the Fiery XJ-R/R2 to a PC-based
server, make sure the customer has enough space near the copier for
both the Fiery XJ-R/R2 and the server.
