Service program mode 2 - 902 is not available (2-902 will be available). Please correct your service manual so that the mode 2 - 214 and 2 - 207 are used instead of the 2 - 902 for the development unit initial setting.

(1) The procedure #25 on the page 3-11 should be changed as follows:

25. Perform the "TD sensor initial setting" SP mode follows:

1) Enter "2" and press the "Enter" key.

2) Enter "214" and press the "Enter" key.

3) Press the "Start" key. NOTE: The machine will automatically stop when TD sensor initial setting is

completed. (It takes about 2.5 minutes.)

Then perform the "Compulsory toner supply" SP mode as follows:

1) Press the "Clear Modes" key twice.

2) Enter "2" and press the "Enter" key.

3) Enter "207" and press the "Enter" key.

4) Press the "start" key. NOTE: The machine will automatically stop when compulsory toner supply is

completed. (It takes about 30 seconds.)

5) Compulsory toner supply must be performed twice in order to supply enough toner

to the toner hopper, so press the "Start" key again.

(2) The procedure #26 on the page 3-11 should be changed as follows:

26. A156 copier only:

Select the proper language for the guidance display as follows:

1) Press the "Clear Modes" key twice.

2) Enter "5" in the 3rd digit of the copy counter and press the "Enter" key.

3) Enter "910" and press the "Enter" key.

This SP mode performs TD sensor initial setting and performs forced

toner supply twice.

Performs TD sensor initial setting and then performs forced toner supply twice. To start this SP mode, press the "Start" key. This SP mode has the same effect as doing SP2-214 then doing SP2-207 twice.

This Sp mode must be done only at copier installation.

This SP mode takes totally about 3 minutes.

Correct: Step 25 - TD sensor initial setting (SP2 - 214) and forced toner supply (SP2

supply twice.

Note: An RTB for program mode 2 - 902 will be issued as soon as the 2 - 902 is

available.

- ADS Pattern Detection and ADS Correction -

If the user selects Auto Image Density (ADS) mode, the machine monitors the output from the ADS sensor and adjusts the development bias to compensate for variations in ADS sensor response. This prevents dirty background.

Every 1,000 copies, the machine calibrates the ADS sensor output by reading the ADS pattern under the left scale of the exposure glass.

The ADS sensor must also be recalibrated:

• If the drum is changed

• If the ID sensor is cleaned or changed

• If the exposure lamp or optics are cleaned or changed.

The actual messages displayed on the operation panel LCD would not be good enough for service engineers to know what mode the machine is set in. Therefore some description in the SP mode table of the service manual are different from the messages displayed on the operation panel (A156 copier only) to make it clear what mode the machine is set in.

The following is the message-description cross reference table of the SP-modes.

Reason

(1) Similar descriptions to the previous model have been adopted for the service manual.

(2) The messages displayed on LCD do not change even though the different 3rd level SP

numbers are selected. Therefore, in the service manual, the correct descriptions are written for each 3rd level SP numbers.

(3) Translation mistake of message on LCD.

(4) The part names have been changed after the translation of LCD’s message was done.

(5) The SP mode descriptions in service manual explains the actual function of the mode

A rubber plug has been added to each fiber optics cable connector to prevent a machine operation malfunction due to light from outside.

The plug(s) must be removed when a peripheral unit is installed. Please add a plug removal procedure in the peripheral unit installation procedure of your service manual.

The plugs must be installed when the fiber optics cable connection is not used. Please instruct your field techs to put the plugs in the unused connectors.

This RTB explains the modifications made to meet the Energy Star requirements. With this modification, to conserve energy, the copier automatically turns off 60 minutes

after the last copying job has been completed. The details of the machine operation can be found on pages 3 onward of this RTB.

Auto Off Mode To automatically turn off the copier, a new type of main switch with an incorporated coil is

used. When the CPU drops CN143 - 1 from +24 to 0, the main switch contact is opened. The wiring diagram and connector layout are shown below.
