[1] NOTE FOR SERVICING
This Service Manual uses some photographs to assure safe operation. This Service Manual uses some photographs to assure safe operation. Please understand the meanings of photographs before servicing. WARNING: If this WARNING should be ignored, a serious danger to life or a serious injury would be resulted. CAUTION: If this CAUTION should be ignored, an injury or a damage to properties would be resulted.
6) Do not leave the machine with the cabinet disassembled. Do not allow any person other than a serviceman to touch inside the machine. It may cause an electric shock, a burn, or an injury. 7) When servicing, do not breathe toner, developer, and ink excessively. Do not get them in the eyes. If toner, developer, or ink enters you eyes, wash it away with water immediately, and consult a doctor if necessary. 8) The machine has got sharp edges inside. Be careful not to damage fingers when servicing. 9) Do not throw toner or a toner cartridge in a fire. Otherwise, toner may pop and burn you. 10) When replacing the lithium battery of the PWB, use a specified one only. If a battery of different specification is used, it may be broken, causing breakdown or malfunction of the machine. 11) When carrying a unit with PWB or electronic parts installed to it, be sure to put it in an anti-static-electricity bag. It may cause a breakdown or malfunctions.
1. Warning for servicing
1) Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Avoid complex wiring, which may lead to a fire or an electric shock. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. 2) If there is any abnormality such as a smoke or an abnormal smell, interrupt the job and disconnect the power plug. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. 3) Be sure to connect the grounding wire. If an electric leakage occurs without grounding, a fire or an electric shock may be the result. To protect the machine and the power unit from lightening, grounding must be made. 4) When connecting the grounding wire, never connect it to the following points. It may cause an explosion, a fire or an electric shock. · Gas tube · Lightning conductor · A water pipe or a water faucet, which is not recognized as a grounding object by the authorities. · Grounding wire for telephone line 5) Do not damage, brake, or work the power cord. Do not put heavy objects on the power cable. Do not bend it forcibly or do not pull it extremely. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. 6) Keep the power cable away from a heat source. Do not insert the power plug with dust on it into a power outlet. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. 7) Do not put a receptacle with water in it or a metal piece which may drop inside the machine. It may cause a fire or an electric shock. 8) With wet or oily hands, do not touch the power plug, do not insert the telephone line jack, do not operate the machine, or do not perform servicing. It may cause an electric shock.
3. Note for installing site
Do not install the machine at the following sites. 1) Place of high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, low humidity, place under an extreme change in temperature and humidity. Paper may get damp and form dews inside the machine, causing paper jam or copy dirt. For operating and storing conditions, refer to the specifications described later. 2) Place of much vibrations It may cause a breakdown. 3) Poorly ventilated place An electro-static type copier will produce ozone inside it. The quantity of ozone produced is designed to a low level so as not to affect human bodies. However, continuous use of such a machine may produce a smell of ozone. Install the machine in a well ventilated place, and ventilate occasionally. 4) Place of direct sunlight. Plastic parts and ink may be deformed, discolored, or may undergo qualitative change. It may cause a breakdown or copy dirt. 5) Place which is full of organic gases such as ammonium The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum used in the machine may undergo qualitative change due to organic gases such as ammonium. Installation of this machine near a diazo-type copier may result in dirt copy. 6) Place of much dust When dusts enter the machine, it may cause a breakdown or copy dirt. 7) Place near a wall Some machine require intake and exhaust of air. If intake and exhaust of air are not properly performed, copy dirt or a breakdown may be resulted. 8) Unstable or slant surface If the machine drops or fall down, it may cause an injury or a breakdown. If there are optional paper desk and the copier desk specified, it is recommendable to use them. When using the optional desk, be sure to fix the adjuster and lock the casters.
2. Precautions for servicing
1) When servicing, disconnect the power plug, the printer cable, the network cable, and the telephone line from the machine, except when performing the communication test, etc. It may cause an injury or an electric shock. 2) There is a high temperature area inside the machine. Use an extreme care when servicing. It may cause a burn. 3) There is a high voltage section inside the machine which may cause an electric shock . Be careful when servicing. 4) Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective material such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path. It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams. 5) When servicing with the machine operating, be careful not to squeeze you hands by the chain, the belt, the gear, and other driving sections.

The GDI-PWB is provided with IEEE1284 I/F on the host side, and the 16-bit bi-directional data bus I/F and UART on the machine side. Transfer of image data with the IMC-PWB is performed with this 16-bit bi-directional data bus. Command status information with the engine is processed with UART. This unit is installed to the position of PCL-PWB on the conventional AR-235/275. JBIG compression data sent from the host are transferred to the IMC PWB, where the data are extracted to be VIDEO data, and sent through the MCU PWB to the LSU.

The set value is received from the digital copier, and data are made according to the set value.
Left margin
CPU
Since the paper size sensor is not set, the digital copier cannot recognize the size and direction of paper which is actually inserted. Therefore, the left margin is set according to the paper size specified in the print data sent from the computer, and print process is performed. If the computer does not specify the paper size, or in the case of the custom size, the left margin is set according to the default paper size.
