EXPLANATION
Revision of service manual

FROM: Copier Technical Support Section
MODEL: General
The corona discharge causes ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) to accumulate on the corona
casing.
NH4NO3 functions as an insulator that reduces the corona discharge to the casing. The
power pack responds by increasing the voltage to the corona wire in order to maintain a
constant current output. (The power pack is a constant current type.)
If toner or some other material accumulates inside the corona end block especially inside
the hook groove [A], it may cause an electrical leak under humid conditions.
NH4NO3 can be easily removed with water but not with alcohol. Toner can be easily
removed with alcohol but not with water.
Therefore, be careful to use the proper cleaning method for each corona unit section.

Retrofit Information
Based upon the request from the market, three type of cleaning solution have been
registered as service parts. Please order them from the parts center as usual. The details
are as follows:
Procedure:1) Shake well and spray onto the soiled cover or on the floor.
2) After 10 seconds, wipe cleaner using a soft cloth.
2. DF BELT CLEANER (NET. 180 cc)
P/N: A0129531
Purpose: To clean document feeder belts.
Procedure:1) Dampen a soft cloth with the cleaner, and wipe the belt.
2) Repeat until the belt is clean.
3. Optics Cleaner (NET. 190 cc)
P/N: A0129532
Purpose: To clean mirrors, lenses, exposure glasses, and paper feed rollers
Procedure: Dampen a soft cloth with the cleaner, and wipe the soiled parts.
CAUTION
Since these three type of cleaning solution are FLAMMABLE, pay attention to the
following caution:
1. Do not spray onto bare skin.
2. Keep away from heat and open flame.
3. Store in a cool place.
4. Keep away from children.
5. Do not dispose of the cleaner by burning it, by applying heat to it, or by any
means that might cause it to ignite.
6 Comply with all local regulations for disposal.

The earth is a closed environment with limited resources. People need a good
environment, where they can live safely and comfortably. We, Ricoh as a manufacturer,
believe that protecting the environment and passing on a better environment to posterity is
one of the most important duties of every living being.
In live with the above concept, we are improving not only the machines, but even the
packages for the service parts to help preserve the environment as follows:

WARNING
Do not adjust a bit switch that is described as "Not used", as this may
cause the machine to malfunction or to operate in a manner that is not
accepted by local regulations.
Important:
In the CiG4 unit, after changing any of the bit switches, turn off the machine, wait for 5
seconds or more, and turn it back on, so that the new settings take effect.

FUNCTIONCOMMENTSNOTE
For Germany 1TR6, a time delay for
answering calls is required.
In other countries, use this switch as follows:
If the machine is connected to the same bus
from the DSU as a model K200 is connected,
the machine receives most of the calls
because the response time to a call is faster
than the K200.
If the customer wants the K200 to receive
most of the calls, adjust the response time
using these bits.
If the customer does not want one machine to
receive most of the calls, use subaddresses
to identify each terminal.
Normally, the 3rd octet of called party
subaddress information in the [SETUP] signal
is set to NSAP. However, some networks
may add a “user-specific” subaddress to the
[SETUP] signal, and as a result the machine
won't answer the call if a subaddress is
specified.
So, change this bit to 1 to let the machine
receive the call if the machine is connected to
such a network.

64 kbps calling is indicated in the Bearer
1:

Capabilities, but communication is at 56 k.
Use this bit if the machine is connected to a

data transfer rate as a bearer capability.
This bit determines the transfer capabilities
informed in the Service Indicator for 1TR6
ISDN G3 transmission. This switch is
effective in coping with communication
problems with some types of T/A and PBX.

General
Condition for fallback from G4 to G3
Bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 17 contain a CPS code, and bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 18
contain another CPS code. If a CPS code is received which is the same as
either of these, communication will fall back from ISDN G4 mode to ISDN G3
mode.
The CPS codes must be the same as those specified in table 4-13 of CCITT
recommendation Q.931.
Examples: Bit 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
For the codes in bits 0 to 6 of bit switches 17 and 18 to be recognized, bit 7 of
bit switch 17 must be 1. Also, bit 0 of the Communication Switch 07 must be at
0, or Fallback from G4 to G3 will be disabled.
This bit determines whether fallback from G4 to G3 occurs on receipt of one of
the CPS codes programmed in bit switch 17 or 18, or on receipt of a certain
standard code.
0:
Fallback occurs on receipt of any of the following CPS codes:
See the explanation for bits 0 to 6 of bit switch 17
This bit helps to choose the CPS code set for G4 to G3 fallback.
0:
Fallback occurs on receipt of the CPS code set which is specified by the
country code setting.

1:
Fallback occurs on receipt of the Universal CPS code set (#3, #18, #57, #58,
# 63, # 65, #79, #88, and #127) even if another country code is programmed.
If bit switch 17 bit 7 is “1”, fallback occurs on receipt of the Universal CPS code
set or one of the CPS codes programmed in bit switches 17, 18, 1A, 1B, or 1C.
G4 to G3 fallback
Bit 0 of Communication Switch 07 must be at 0, or fallback from G4 to G3 will be disabled.
The CPS codes for which fallback occurs are decided as follows.
G4 bit switch 17, bit 7 - If set to “0”, fallback occurs on receipt of a code from a set that
•
depends on the country code. If set to ”1”, fallback occurs for the 5 CPS codes
programmed in bits 0 to 6 of G4 bit switches 17, 18, 1A, 1B, and 1C, in addition to the
country code set.

Signal attenuation level for G3 fax signals received from an ISDN line.
If an analog signal comes over an digital line, the signal level after decoding by
the TE is theorically the same as the level at the entrance to the digital line.
However, this sometimes causes the received signal level to be too high at the
received end. In this case, adjust the decoded signal's attenuation level using
these switches.
The values in the “Codec” column below show the attenuation level at the G4
interface board. The values in the “Modem” column show the actual attenuation
level at the modem, because the signal is attenuated again on the MFCE by 6dB.
If there are several TEs on the same bus and
the machine responds to calls for another TE,
the call may be without HLC information.
Identify the type of calling terminal and
change this bit to 1 if the caller is not a fax
machine.

This switch is useful when used in
combination with communication switch 07 bit
4. This is to cope with communication
problems where G4 communication fails on
the ISDN B-channel.
Set this bit to match the type of layer 3
signalling used by the ISDN.
The dedicated parameters have the same
setting for specific destinations.
Do not change the default setting, unless the
machine is experiencing compatibility
problems.
This value is sent in the CR packet. This
value must match the value stored in the
other terminal, or communication will stop (CI
will be returned). If the other end returns CI,
check the value of the packet window size
with the other party.
Note that this value must be the same as the
value programmed for the transport block
size (G4 Parameter Switch 0B, bits 0 to 3).
Normally, do not change the default setting.

The part number for the silicone oil has been changed. The difference between the two
new parts (A2579100 and A2579550) is the design of the bottle label. The label for
A2579100 contains the "RICOH" brand name and the label for A2579550 contains no
brand name (generic use).

NOTE
The interchangeability is O/O for all models except for the Cattleya A257/A269. The old
type of silicone oil (54209550) should NOT be used for the Cattleya A257/A269. Please
refer to RTB #RA257001 and MB #MA257001.
