Precautions

Always observe the following general precautions when installing
and servicing the Fiery XJ80e:

1. Report any shipping damage.

If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to the
kit 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 XJ80e 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
software, or shutting down networked devices without the
knowledge and express permission of the system or network
administrator or the shop supervisor.

®

hardware. The

3. Never enter an IP address in Network Setup.

Only the network administrator should enter an IP address on a
network device. Assigning the Fiery XJ80e an incorrect IP
address 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.

Fiery XJ80e Built-in Color Server

Preface

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 unpack the Fiery XJ80e board and other kit
components for the first time, touch a metal area of the
copier to discharge the static on your body.

• 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.

5. Handle the printed circuit boards by their edges only.

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

can also control spooled print jobs sent to the copier/printer
with remote utility software running on networked Macintosh
and PC-compatible computers.

• Use 39 resident fonts. The customer can download additional
PostScript Type 1 or Type 3 fonts, as needed.

The Fiery XJ80e enables the customer to use an A166/A187/A189
color copier as a printer and scanner. Users can print to the
copier/printer from networked Apple Macintosh computers, from
networked IBM PC or compatible computers running Microsoft
Windows

®

3.1x, Windows NT or Windows 95, and from

®

networked UNIX workstations running TCP/IP. In addition, the
Fiery XJ80e parallel port can be used to print directly from a PC.

The custom-designed Fiery XJ80e board and operating software are
responsible for efficient image processing and printing controls. The
main functions of Fiery XJ80e components and software follow.

The Fiery XJ80e board includes a MIPS R4700 RISC (Reduced
Instruction Set Computer) CPU with a built-in floating point
accelerator that runs Adobe’s PostScript Interpreter. This software
interprets the PostScript 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.

High-speed SIMMs (single in-line memory modules) on the
Fiery XJ80e board hold the color image data during printing.
SIMM configurations include 32MB and 64MB.

1-1

Fiery XJ80e Built-in Color Server

1: Introduction

Image data is sent from the video connector (through the CIVIC
cable) to the EXU board. The raster data is supplied to the laser in
the copier at full copier rated speeds 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 XJ80e 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.
