printer controller.
Note:
If a Postscript Driver job is canceled midway through, the image data for the next job is
not printed out correctly.
"Waiting..." is displayed when an error occurs, but the machine does not return to
normal operating mode (ready status). The next job is not printed out.
When two separate jobs of text data less than 256 bytes are sent from the network, the
two jobs are printed out simultaneously on the same page.
It is possible to print out the HDD Directory List when there is no HDD or PS option
installed.

Retrofit information
This RTB informs possible compatibility problems with the Printer Hard Disk Type 185
(model code: G690-06).
This hard disk unit can be used in the following models.
• Stinger-C (Stinger-C1L) printer option
• Russian-C printer option
• Russian-P
Background
The production of the current 1.6 GB hard disk unit will be discontinued in March ’00, and
the new 6.0 GB hard disk will be used from April.
When the new 6.0 GB hard disk unit is installed in the machine with a previous version of
the controller software, an error may occur.
Please note that the controller firmware has been modified from January ’00 production
(for all above models) so the machines are compatible with both the old 1.6 GB and the
new 6.0 GB hard disk unit.

For Stinger-C/Russian-P with printer option: SC2001 3003 (HDD error) is displayed
For Russian-P: Error 5 (HDD error) is displayed
Solution

Retrofit information
This RTB informs of possible problems when using the NIB NVRAM backup and restore
function.
Symptom
The machine may not start up after the NIB NVRAM backup procedure (Service Tool: NIB
read/write). This problem may occur after the NIB NVRAM data is backed up to the
controller (data copy direction: “NIB -> CTL”).
This is because the NVRAM is not big enough to store all the NIB data.
Note: The NIB NVRAM backup and restore procedure is required only when replacing the
NIB.
Solution
Do not use the NIB NVRAM backup (and restore) procedure.
If the machine does not start up after performing this function, you must download the
controller firmware using the error recovery firmware update procedure.
(This procedure will force the controller to boot from the IC card. Please refer to section
4.5.2 of the service manual for the detailed procedure.)
The controller firmware will be modified so this function will no longer be valid. It will not be
shown in the Service Tools.
The firmware is modified from the April ’00 production (version 1.3.6).
Currently there is no way to enable this function because the current NVRAM on the
controller board is not big enough to store all the NIB NVRAM data.
After replacing a NIB, please input the data manually.
Printer Controller Service Manual (B306) Correction
The printer controller manual should be corrected as follows.
1. Delete the column for the Service Tools – L (NIB Read/Write) on page 4-2.
2. Delete section 4.4.3 NIB NVRAM BACKUP AND RESTORE on page 4-7.
