4. NOTE FOR INSTALLATION
CAUTION:MX-PEX2 is compatible with both MX-5500N/6200N/7000N and MX-3500/4500 series.
The MFP model is detected when the power is turned on for the first time after the shipment from the factory, and the system that matches the
MFP (MX-5500N/6200N/7000N or MX-3500/4500 series) is started.
After the system is started, the initial setup screen is displayed.
After the completion of the setup, the detection of MFP model at the boot-up will not be executed.
It is necessary to return the controller to the default state if you want to re-connect it to another MFP after the setup.
System setting → Printer Setting (administrator area) → Fiery Setting → Run Setup
Password: Fiery.1 (Default) → Factory Default
NOTE: Please make sure to reset to the default state if you connect the controller to another model, because the controller starts
even when it is connected to another MFP (e.g., the controller set for MX-3500/4500 series to the MFP for MX-5500N/6200N/
7000N) even after completion of the setup.
NOTE: MX-PEX1 was shipped after setting the basic setting (the information of MFP) by default, but MX-PEX2 is shipped in the fac-
tory shipment setting (without setting of the information of MFP), because it is necessary to detect MFP when turning on the
power.

LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The PWB’s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder.
The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the
exclusive-use soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering
capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land
separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when
completion of soldering is confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron
tip after completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
