Color Printer Service & Support

The Phaser 1235 Color Printer with lower tray feeders

Service Guide

The Phaser 1235 Color Printer

The Phaser 1235 Color Printer combines a 4-color LED-based, tandem-design print engine with an EFI image processing controller board supporting Adobe’s PostScript Level 3 page description language. The controller features a bi-directional parallel interface and an Ethernet port for host communication. The Ethernet port supports EtherTalk 10/100baseT, Novell and TCP/IP. An optional network adapter card allow the printer to communicate with Token Ring networks. All printer versions support the color PCL5C printer language.

The printer is available in three conﬁgurations:

■

The

Phaser 1235N

supplemented with an additional 32-, 64- and 128-Mbyte RAM DIMM; maximum usable capacity is 512 Mbytes. The printer contains 136 standard, built-in fonts. The Phaser 1235N prints at a color resolutions of 600 x 600 dots-per-inch and 600 x 1200 dots-per-inch.

■

The

Phaser 1235DT

128 Mbytes of memory , an auto-duplexer, an internal hard drive and a lower feeder tray assembly. With the hard drive the 1235DT supports a print collation mode, a “First Page Preview” mode and a secure printjob “password” mode.

■

The

■

600 x 600 dpi (Normal)

■

600 x 1200 dpi (High-quality)

The printer also accepts 300 x 300 dpi ﬁles from PCL legacy drivers, PCL bit map fonts, PCL bit map images, although these ar e imaged at 600 x 600 dpi. The r esolution supported is a function of the PDL used and the feature being selected, such as Fax Friendly Black and Draft Mode. Both PostScript and PCL allow full selection of all paper sources, paper sizes, paper types and output destinations.

The auto-duplexer unit (optional on the Phaser 1235N) allows the printer to automatically create two-sided prints.

Print speeds depend on the chosen resolution and selected media. For resolutions of 600 x 600 (standard), in color, the printer prints at 12 pages-per-minute (ppm) on paper. Monochrome printing is at 20 ppm on paper. Transparency ﬁlm printing is always 5 ppm. For 600 x 1200 dpi (enhanced) color printing, the printer prints color at the same speeds as standard mode.

The printers support printing on A-, A4- and Legal-sized paper and transpar ency ﬁlm from an adjustable tray. Optional lower tray feeders, up to two can be installed, are available. The printer features a built-in multi-sheet bypass feeder from which specialty media, cardstock and envelopes can be fed. The printer also supports manual feeding using the multi-sheet bypass feeder.

Phaser 1235 Network Color Printer

If the printer is equipped with multiple trays loaded with the same-size paper, the printer will switch to an alternate tray as a paper source when a tray runs out of paper.

After being idle for the selected amount of time the printer switches into its Energy Star mode where it consumes less than 45 watts of power. It “awakens” upon receiving data at any of its ports.

Proof Jobs.

customer assigns a password and copy account at the client workstation before printing. The ﬁrst set of prints are printed immediately. The original number of requested sets are printed after the customer enters the matching password on the printer’s control panel. The customer has the option of printing the original number of requested sets or deleting the job. Since more than one job may be associated with the same password, the customer can print all the jobs, delete all the jobs or select or delete individual jobs. A proof job that has not been printed is retained on hard disk through power cycles. Proof jobs sent to a printer without the har d disk option ar e not printed and are discarded.

Secure Jobs.

matching password is entered from the control panel. The customer assigns the password at the client workstation before printing. The job is stored, and printing is delayed until the password is entered on the printer’s control panel. Since more than one job can have the same password, all secure jobs with the same password are printed. A secure job that has not been printed or r eleased is r etained on disk through power cycles. The internal hard drive is required for this function.

TIFF Direct Printing.

itself has no capability to select printing options such as orientation, paper size, or duplexing. All TIFF ﬁles downloaded to the printer are processed using the default PostScript parameters stored in the printer. Auto sensing of TIFF ﬁles are included in the emulation sensing and switching logic when the TIFF option is enabled. TIFF direct printing requires the internal hard drive.

PDF Direct Printing

PDF ﬁles directly requires a hard disk. PDF printing uses the printer’s currently deﬁned imaging settings. Auto sensing of PDF ﬁles are included in the emulation sensing and switching logic when the PDF option is installed. PDF direct printing requires the internal hard drive.

A proof job is a speciﬁc case of a multiple-copy job. With a proof job, the

hexadecimal codes as well as the ASCII equivalent. Hex mode pages are numbered and formatted to clearly indicate the order in which data was received. Hex mode is invoked from the control panel’s Print Menu, and remains active until it is explicitly disabled at the control panel or the printer is reset. SNMP data may be processed in Hex mode, since it is not print data. EtherTalk or TokenTalk is not operational in Hex mode, since these protocols require the PostScript interpreter to be running. PostScript and PCL interpreters are not available in Hex mode. When Hex mode is active, all PDL job streams are printed in hex, rather than interpreted. This includes TIFF, PDF, and PJL.

The printer features a hex mode in which all prints are printed as

Service Guide

Printer RAM and printer capabilities

The printer features three DIMM connectors which accept 64-, 128-, and 256-Mbytes RAM DIMMs. The printer can use off-the-shelf RAM meeting these speciﬁcations:

■

168-pin DIMM

■

Synchronous DRAM

■

3.3 volt

■

9 nsec speed

■

Valid on-board Serial Presence Detect ROM.

The Startup page and the Conﬁguration Page list the amount of RAM installed in the printer.

Upon power-up, the image processor interrogates the 256 byte Serial Presence Detect ROM which describes the DIMM with details such as data width, clock delay, number of address columns and row, refresh rate and more. If the DIMM does not meets the required speciﬁcations it the printer reports and “Invalid Memory DIMM Conﬁguration” message and stops the booting process.

If the power-up self-test diagnostics detect a DIMM with defective memory cells the printer declares “Diagnostics Failed - Press Enter to Continue.” After the enter key is pressed the boot process continues and the defective RAM DIMM is ignored. Note that a seriously defective RAM DIMMs (with grounded address lines, for example) can keep the system controller board from booting up at all.

With mor e memory the printer gains the capabilities of printing without having to use image compression (which trades less installed RAM for longer image processing time) and dual frame buffers for printing one image while processing a second image (which gives greater printing throughput).

The printer features three slots each of which can contain a 64-, 128-, or 256-Mbytes SDRAM DIMM. Any slot may be used for any size DIMM. However, 256 Mbyte RAM DIMMs cannot be mixed with smaller RAM DIMMs. DRAM memory totalling beyond 512 Mbytes will be ignored. The image-processing controller board also contains 16 Kbytes of non-volatile memory (NVRAM), to store all for the necessary values that can be set on the printer.

CRU life counter behavior

Internal counters track customer replaceable unit (CRU) life usage and store the values in NVRAM. The controller monitors these counters in order to display the near end of use and end of use messages.

The toner states displayed are OK, Low, and Empty, where the engine senses and automatically reports the Low and Empty states. When the empty state is r eached for toner, the printer terminates printing at the end of current page and displays the appropriate message on the control panel. No further jobs are accepted from any input port.
