(445.33 lb), therefore pay full attention when handling it. (e-STUDIO555/655/755/855, eSTUDIO556/656/756/856)
-Be sure not to hold the movable parts or units (e.g. the control panel, ADU or RADF) when trans-
porting the equipment.
-Be sure to use a dedicated outlet with AC 110 V / 13.2 A, 115 V or 127 V / 12 A, 220-240 V / 8 A
for its power source.
-The equipment must be grounded for safety.
11/12
-Select a suitable place for installation. Avoid excessive heat, high humidity, dust, vibration and
direct sunlight.
-Provide proper ventilation since the equipment emits a slight amount of ozone.
-To insure adequate working space for the copying operation, keep a minimum clearance of 80
cm (32”) on the left, 80 cm (32”) on the right and 10 cm (4”) on the rear.
-The equipment shall be installed near the socket outlet and shall be accessible.
-Be sure to fix and plug in the power cable securely after the installation so that no one trips over
it.
2) General Precautions at Service
-Be sure to turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable during service (except for the service
should be done with the power turned ON).
-Unplug the power cable and clean the area around the prongs of the plug and socket outlet once
a year or more. A fire may occur when dust lies on this area.
-When the parts are disassembled, reassembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise
noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to install small parts such as
screws, washers, pins, E-rings, star washers in the wrong places.
-Basically, the equipment should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
-The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband
since the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity.
Caution: Before using the wristband, unplug the power cable of the equipment and
make sure that there are no charged objects which are not insulated in the
vicinity.
-Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to
expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver
on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting
service.
-Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, fuser unit, damp
heater and areas around them.
-Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers, transfer belt, 2nd transfer roller,
developer, high-voltage transformer, exposure lamp control inverter, inverter for the LCD backlight and power supply unit. Especially, the board of these components should not be touched
since the electric charge may remain in the capacitors, etc. on them even after the power is
turned OFF.
-Make sure that the equipment will not operate before touching potentially dangerous places (e.g.
rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts pulleys, fans and laser beam exit of the laser
optical unit).
-Be careful when removing the covers since there might be the parts with very sharp edges
underneath.
-When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and
rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam.
-Use designated jigs and tools.
-Use recommended measuring instruments or equivalents.
-Return the equipment to the original state and check the operation when the service is finished.
-Be very careful to treat the touch panel gently and never hit it. Breaking the surface could cause
malfunctions.
3) Important Service Parts for Safety
-The breaker, door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, IC-RAMs including lithium
batteries, etc. are particularly important for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly. If
these parts are short-circuited and their functions become ineffective, they may result in fatal
accidents such as burnout. Do not allow a short-circuit or do not use the parts not recommended
by Toshiba TEC Corporation.
4) Cautionary Labels
-During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels such as “Unplug the
power cable during service”, “CAUTION. HOT”, “CAUTION. HIGH VOLTAGE”, “CAUTION.
LASER BEAM”, etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface and if they are properly stuck to the
equipment.
5) Disposal of the Equipment, Supplies, Packing Materials, Used Batteries and IC-RAMs
-Regarding the recovery and disposal of the equipment, supplies, packing materials, used batter-
ies and IC-RAMs including lithium batteries, follow the relevant local regulations or rules.
6) When the option has been installed:
When the EFI printer board has been installed, be sure to unplug the power cable before performing
maintenance and inspection, otherwise troubles such as a communication error may occur.

•Dual Access
-FAX transmission
There are two types of FAX transmission: Page-by-page direct transmission and memory transmission that all pages are stored in the memory before being transmitted.
-FAX reception
Basically, all pages are input in the memory before being output. This reduces the time that the
FAX communication occupies the machine, making Dual Access between the copying/faxing and
printing operation possible.
Namely, the followings are possible:
- Memory input during the memory transmission
- Memory input during the memory reception
- Copying during the memory transmission
- Reception during the copying
- Reception during the memory output
- Reception during the list output

power and the heater power to save power consumption.
•Drawer selection
It is possible to choose a drawer on to whose paper the received images are to be printed.
[Options]
•2nd line
One extra line can be added by installing the 2nd line unit (option).
This machine offers various printing modes such as the selection of the applicable recording paper and
the recording method, etc. to meet users’ needs. To take full advantage of these features, it is important
to understand the concepts of the recording paper selection algorithm and printing algorithm as
described in 2. 2.
2.2Recording Paper Selection Algorithm and Printing Algorithm
Before printing the received image, the preset settings are evaluated in the order of the following 1) and
2), and the printing is performed based on the result.
1) Recording paper selection algorithm
-Basically, the received image is printed on a sheet of paper of the same size as the original.
However, if this size is not available, this algorithm determines on which size of recording paper
the output should be made. (Actual Size Mode/Free Mode)
2) Printing algorithm
-Determines how the received image is to be printed. (Discard printing/Vertical reduction printing/
Regular size reduction printing/Split printing)
2.2.1Recording paper selection algorithm
It is possible to distinguish the size of each received image (A3(LD)/B4(LG)/A4(LT)/B5/A5). Basically,
recording paper of the same size as the original is used for printing. If recording paper of the size is not
available, this algorithm selects paper of another size according to the setting in the Setting Mode.
1) Actual Size Mode (13-517: 0)
-Printing is performed when regular size reduction is not applied to the received image. In this
mode, an A4/LT received image is printed on a B4 recording paper.
2) Free Mode (13-517: 1)
-Printing is performed on any available recording paper.
2.2.2Printing algorithm
Recording paper has its effective printing area. Even if the size of the original paper and the recording
paper are the same, the length of the original is normally longer.
This means that the received image would be divided onto two sheets. To prevent this, the printing
algorithm works as described in the following pages.
-Since the trailing edge area of the original is normally blank, this blank area is cut off to allow the
image fit in one sheet in this mode. Image reduction is not performed.
-Maximum discarding amount:
0 mm: Discard not performed
10 mm: Corresponding to the inside the TTI
18 mm: Corresponding to the outside the TTI 1
22 mm: Corresponding to the outside the TTI 2
34 mm: A4 → LT conversion
(TTI: Transmission Terminal Identifier)
When the discard function is ON (13–378:1):
Actual size recording is performed with no vertical reduction nor division. The original image is
recorded as it is. Namely, the data exceeding the effective printing area are discarded.
A
B
Area B is discarded.
A : Effective printing length
B : Recording data length outside the
effective printing area
(
A + B = Recording data length

)
Discard parameter (13-375: 0 to 4)
The following parameters are available:
Discard functionLength of B (Discard parameter)Set value
OFF0 mm0
ON10 mm1
18 mm2
22 mm3
34 mm4
Reference: These parameters should be set by the service technician (in the FAX Function Mode).
2) Vertical reduction printing (13–377: 0)
-The recording data length is reduced so that the image fits in the recording paper.
The data can be reduced up to 90/75%, and the machine automatically selects the appropriate
ratio.
-When the discard and vertical reduction printing cannot be applied to the received image, and
any of the combinations A3 → B4, A3 → A4, B4 → A4, B4 → B5, B4 → A5, A4 → B5, A4 → A5,
COMP → LT, COMP → ST, LD → COMP, LD → LG/LT, LD → ST, LT → ST, FOLIO → B5, FOLIO
→ A5 is satisfied, the regular size reduction printing is performed.
In case that the recording data length is within the effective printing length A, but the recording
paper of the same size as the original’s or larger size is not available;
In case that the recording data length exceeds the effective printing length A, the vertical reduction printing is not applicable and larger size recording paper is not available;
(In the following example, A4/LT original was sent but the recording length exceeds A4 size and
the data do not fit in A4/LT even if the vertical reduction is performed. The reduction B4 → A4 or
A3 → A4 is applied in this case.)
4) Split printing
When the recording data do not fit in a recording paper even if vertical reduction is performed for the
recording data length (the recording data length is exceeding the effective printing length of the largest recording paper in the drawer installed in the machine), the recording data are divided onto two
sheets while vertical reduction is performed.

B × vertical reduction ratio
2.2.3Setting for the split recording
1) Split recording onto A4/B5/A5/ST
Set as to whether split recording onto the short length paper (A4/B5/A5/ST) is to be performed or
not.
When this function is disabled, split recording for A3/B4/A4 data onto A3/B4/A4/LG/LT recording
paper is not performed.
The size of the recording paper on which the received image data are printed is determined according
to the presence/absence of the recording paper and the above-mentioned function settings. Relation
between the recording paper size and the function settings is described in this section.
The fuser unit, main power and power supply for the control panel can be shut off during a specified
period of time such as night time that the machine is in the ready mode, using a weekly timer function of
the equipment. When a FAX is received in the Energy Saver Mode, the fuser unit, main power and
power supply for the control panel are automatically turned ON. Printing is then started when the
machine reaches the specified temperature. The Energy Saver Mode is useful for hours in which the
amount of communication is small and immediate printing is not necessary.
The setting of the Energy Saver Mode and time (start time, end time) are made on the USER FUNCTIONS screen. (Default setting is made by the weekly-timer function of the equipment.)

•TCF signal
An error may occur in the image data if the training is not performed correctly. The transmitting side sends a TCF signal and checks if any error occurs in image data before the image
data communication to follow. When the receiving side detects an error in the TCF signal, it
transmits an FTT signal to the transmitting side to request the retraining. When there is no
error, the receiving side transmits a CFR signal.
The TCF signal transmits all zeros for 1.5 seconds at the same modem speed as that for the
training signal.
-V.8 is performed as a startup procedure to switch to V.34. V.8 can connect an existing facsimile
machine to the equipment using a data modem or other V-series modems. The V.34 modem has
a modem circuit previously recommended, allowing it to be also connected to the existing
modems while they are upper compatible.
-New technologies such as the pre-emphasis technology *1 and the probing technology *2 are
fully used. The pre-emphasis technology *1 not only speeds up the modulation, but also gains
the S/N ratio. The probing technology examines the line characteristics and optimizes the
modem for the line condition. Therefore, not only do these technologies speed up the transmission momentarily, but also the average speed of the process during the data transmission is
increased.
-For V.8 and the pre/post-FAX transmission for V.34, the procedure is speeded up by the full
duplex communication.
-Following 14 types of the image transmission speed are available: *3
-The modulating speed (baud rate) *4 can be selected from 2,400, 3,000, 3,200 symbol/sec (mandatory), or 2,743, 2,800, 3,429 symbol/sec (option). The data rate can be set more accurately
than the conventional modem.
3
*1: A signal is sent while raising the output level in the high-frequency band in which the noise
is relatively loud.
*2: Tone signal called “Probing Tone” is sent for the receiver to examine the line characteris-
tics of the line.
*3: In the ITU-T Recommendation, it is described as “data rate”. “Image transmission speed”
is the same as “data rate”.
*4: In the ITU-T Recommendation, it is described as “symbol speed”. The “Symbol rate”,
“Modulating speed”, and “Baud rate” are the same thing. This machine cannot realize the
speed of 2,743 symbol/sec.
Notes:
1. ECM is used in the V.34 procedure. If the setting for the ECM transmission/reception of the
user data is set to “Not performed”, the V.8 procedure is not performed and the procedure is
not switched to V.34. V.17 or lower is selected in this case.
2. When the transmission/reception speed is set to 14.4 kbps or slower, the V.8 procedure is not
performed, and V.17 or lower is selected.
3. See “Late start (P3-20)” to move to the V. 8/V.34 procedure after starting with the V.21 proce-
dure.
4. After the V.34 procedure is started, the fallback for the V.34 procedure is performed.
However, the fallback for the V.17 mode or lower mode is not performed.
The available modulation mode is in formed.
Each declares that it has V.34 capability. The
procedure moves to V.34 in the phase 2.
After the information about the modem capability is exchanged, the receiver determines
the modulation speed based on the result of
reception of the probing signal which was sent
by the transmitter.
To determine the image transmission speed,
the transmitter sends a training signal.
The optimum image transmission speed is
determined according to the training signal
received.
The pre-FAX transmission which is the same
as that for the normal T.30 is performed at
1,200 bps.
The training signal is sent with the determined
Primary channel
parameter, then the image data are sent.

Reference:In the control channel, the frequency of the signals to be sent is different
between the transmission and reception. The signal echoed back has never
been misidentified as a signal sent from the other side. Therefore, this channel is
not influenced by signals echoed back.
3) Example of protocol
The signals shaded in the following figure are the most important signals in the procedure.
-Late start
The receiver cannot detect CM signal while it is sending the ANSam signal. Therefore, it sends a
DIS signal to inform the availability of V.8 support. The transmitter sends a CI signal that causes
the receiver to send another ANSam signal which makes the receiver move to the V.8 procedure.
In the same manner as the T.30 procedure, the transmitter sends a PPS-MPS signal after sending the image data. The receiver sends an MCF signal and moves to the next page transmission.
The transmitter and receiver send a PPS-EOM signal and an MCF signal respectively. Then the
receiver and transmitter send a DIS signal and a DCS signal respectively to change the mode.
-Change of the image transmission speed by the receiver
The receiver sends a PPh signal responding to an Sh signal sent from the transmitter. Then, the
image transmission speed is determined according to the MPh sequence sent from the both
modems.
-Change of the image transmission speed by the transmitter
The transmitter sends a PPh signal after sending the image data. The receiver returns a PPh signal. Then, the image transmission speed is determined according to the MPh sequence sent
from the both modems.
There are two types of setting for the FAX Auto-Switching Mode Selection: TEL Mode and FAX Mode.
3.3.2TEL mode
This mode is selected to prioritize telephone communication when the frequency of the fax reception is
low. When the TEL mode is selected, the automatic FAX reception function does not work. Therefore,
when a calling signal comes from the exchange, the telephone ringer continues ringing until the operator picks up the handset. When the operator has learned that the caller is sending a FAX, he has to perform the manual reception operation.
3.3.3FAX mode
This mode is selected when the telephone circuit is used only for FAX communication. When the FAX
mode is selected and a calling signal comes from the exchange, the FAX reception operation starts
automatically without ringing the telephone ringer.
In the FAX mode, a calling number can be set up to 15 calls in the self-diagnosis setting “CI detection
counter” (13–372).

The line monitor circuit consists of the CML relay (NA/TW: RLY2, EU/AU/AS/C: RLY3), analog switch
(NA/TW: IC51, EU/AU/AS/C: IC3), the ASIC (IC29 [IC26]) and analog switches (IC3, IC9 [IC3, IC2]) on
the FAX board, and other peripheral devices. It switches the telephone line path using the analog
switch and monitors the line status and ringer signal in the FAX transmission and reception using the
speaker connected to CN503 on the FAX board. It also switches the analog switch to output a buzzer
tone from the speaker.
The signal to be monitored is selected by switching the analog switch (IC3) according to SP-SEL signal
and MON signal which are output from the ASIC.
To monitor the line during the transmission and reception, the ASIC makes the CML1 signal become
HIGH to switch the analog switch and connect the line to the MODEM side.
For the line path switching control, refer to P. 4-5 "4.2.2 Line path switching control circuit".
The relation between the signal levels and monitoring signals is as follows.

The monitoring signal selected by IC3 is input to the analog switch (IC9 [IC2]) to select the output
sound volume. The sound volume is selected by switching IC8 according to the VOLSEL0-2 signals
output from the ASIC and selecting an input resistance for the monitoring signal.
