SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

SAFETY WARNINGS

[1] MODIFICATIONS NOT AUTHORIZED BY KONICA


Konica controllers for copier are renowned for their high reliability. This reliability is achieved through high-qual-
ity design and a solid service network.
Print controller units design is a highly complicated and delicate process where numerous mechanical, physical,
and electrical aspects have to be taken into consideration, with the aim of arriving at proper tolerances and
safety factors. For this reason, unauthorized modifications involve a high risk of degradation in performance and
safety. Such modifications are therefore strictly prohibited. the points listed below are not exhaustive, but they
illustrate the reasoning behind this policy

PROHIBITED ACTIONS:

• Using any cables or power cord not specified by Konica.

• Using any fuse or thermostat not specified by Konica. Safety will not be
assured, leading to a risk of fire and injury.

• Disabling fuse functions or bridging fuse terminals with wire, metal clips,
solder or similar object

• Disabling relay functions (such as wedging paper between relay contacts).

• Disabling safety functions (interlocks, safety circuits, etc.) Safety will not
be assured, leading to a risk of fire and injury.

• Making any modification to the print controller units unless instructed by


Konica

• Using parts not specified by Konica.


SAFETY AND IMPORTANT WARNING ITEMS

[2] CHECKPOINTS WHEN PERFORMING ON-SITE SERVICE


Print controller units are extensively tested before shipping, to ensure that all applicable safety standards are
met, in order to protect the customer and customer engineer (hereafter called the CE) from the risk of injury.
However, in daily use, any electrical equipment may be subject to parts wear and eventual failure. In order to
maintain safety and reliability, the CE must perform regular safety checks.

1. Power Supply

WARNING: Wall Outlet


• Check that mains voltage is as specified. Plug the power cord into the
dedicated wall outlet with a capacity greater than the maximum power
consumption.
If excessive current flows in the wall outlet, fire may result. kw

• If two or more power cords can be plugged into the wall outlet, the total
load must not exceed the rating of the wall outlet.
If excessive current flows in the wall outlet, fire may result.

WARNING: Power Plug and Cord

• Make sure the power cord is plugged in the wall outlet securely.
Contact problems may lead to increased resistance, overheating, and
the risk of fire.

● Features of the Print Controller
The print controller can be used to connect the main body printer to computers or to a network on which the
main body printer can function as a printer / network printer from applications.

The print controller receives files from computers or networks and converts those files into image data (video
data), so as to be able to be printed out using the main body printer. To do this, a video interface kit needs to be
mounted to the main body printer.

This service handbook provides information on product configuration, removal and installation procedures and
troubleshooting. Appendices provide information on software installation, mother board jumper settings to be
checked for, error messages, beep codes, and copier codes assisting service personnel in troubleshooting,
among others. This service handbook is intended to be bound together with the 7075 Service Manual.

Chapter 1 Overview

2 ● Expanding the Print Controller’s Memory


The print controller has the base memory of 64 MB. This memory can be expanded up by inserting a DIMM into
a slot in the mother board.

Caution: Adding memory makes more complex print tasks possible.

Combination of additional memories


e.g.
DIMM 1 DIMM 2 DIMM 3 DIMM 4 Total
Memory size
64 MB --- --- --- 64 MB
64 MB 64 MB --- --- 128 MB
64 MB 64 MB 64 MB --- 192 MB
64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 256 MB

Caution: With IP-601M, you can add memory for a total of 256 MB.
With IP-602, you can add memory for a total of 512 MB
You need to use the slots in an ascending order of numbers.

Caution: Before you go on to the disassembly/reassembly process, be sure to dis-
connect the power cable. Having the equipment off is not enough.

Caution: • Before you go on to the disassembly/reassembly process, check to see that all of the
cables are disconnected from the print controller.

• To prevent the hard disk from being affected, only use non-magnetized tools for the
disassembly/reassembly tasks.

• Take, in advance, appropriate grounding measures by wearing a wrist strap for ex-
ample. Otherwise, there is a risk that circuit boards can be damaged.

• The disassembly/reassembly tasks should be performed on cushioning materials.

■ Corrective Diagnostics Program


The corrective diagnostics program is a tool that allows a quick recovery from occasionally occurred
troubles. Diagnostic tests included in the program check whether or not error conditions exist in the print
controller.
After you have identified the cause of errors based on the results of the individual diagnostic tests and
have taken measures against the specific causes of errors, you can check to make sure that error conditions
have been removed by running the corrective diagnostics program again.

2
Caution: In this manual we conveniently use the IP-601M’s screens.

■ Using Corrective Diagnostics Program


[1] Basic Operations of Corrective Diagnostics Program
1 Select optional items and confirm your selection.
To select an option from the corrective diagnostics program, use the cursor keys ([ ↓ ],[ ↑ ],[ → ],[ ← ])
to move the select bar (a line in reverse video), and press [Enter] to confirm your selection.

2 Close windows.
To close the currently opened window, press [Esc] key.
When you press [Esc] key, the display is switched to show the previous window.

3 Interrupt diagnostic tests.

[01] is an error having no chance of developing because of the system specification.


[02] and [FF] are errors caused by a malfunctioning CPU, memory or motherboard and dictate that
you perform the following steps.

(1) If [RTM] error appears after running a diagnostic test on the motherboard, replace the board,
and then repeat diagnostic test.

(2) If [NPX] error appears after running a diagnostic test on the CPU, replace the CPU, and then
repeat diagnostic test.

(3) If no [NPX]/[RTM] error appears in the above cases or if the same error indication appears even
after having performed step (1)/(2), remove and reinsert the expanded memory, and then re-
peat diagnostic test.

(4) If the same error indication appears even after having performed step (3), replace the expanded
memory, and then repeat diagnostic test.
Memory locations in which to remove and reinsert the expanded memory or to replace it, are dictated by the
addresses at which errors developed. Closer to the DIMM1 side, smaller the address numbers.

3 2 CMOS Data Rewriting Procedure

Caution: For IP-601M and IP-602 firmware of Ver5.x and before, you should follow the proce-
dure below.

When the motherboard or CPU is replaced, it is necessary to rewrite the CMOS data.
It is also necessary to connect the display and the keyboard with the print controller.

Caution: • Never interrupt the CMOS rewriting process halfway through. Be sure to let it be
completed once started. If the process is stopped before it is all over, the system
will not start up next time.
• Never reset the system while the rewriting process is running.
• Never switch the power off while the rewriting process is running.
• Never take out the floppy disk while the rewriting process is running.
• Do not unplug any devices (such as display and keyboard) from the print controller
when the rewriting process is progressing.
• Do not generate any interruptions from the keyboard (operations such as [Ctrl]+[Z]
and [Ctrl]+[Break]) when the rewriting process is progressing.
• Care should also be taken over the power supply environment to insure against
sudden drop in voltage or power failure during the rewriting process. Such irregularities
also make it impossible to get the system started up next time.

(1) Check to see that the print controller is switched OFF, and that the display and the keyboard
are connected.
(2) Power to the display.
(3) Insert the "CMOS Rewrite Tool" floppy disk (containing the DOS system, too) into the floppy
disk drive on the print controller, and press power up the print controller by pressing its power
switch.

3 4 Recovery of Print Controller System

Caution: For IP-601M and IP-602 firmware of Ver5.x and before, you should follow the proce-
dure below.
FDs for recovery-use only are available. You need to confirm and use proper ones.

Overview
The system software of the print controller is contained in the hard disk.
The hard disk in the print controller is divided into drive C, which holds the system software, and drive
D, in which backed-up images are stored, as shown below.
A compressed backup of the system software is held in a separate partition on the same hard disk in
case the system software is damaged at the software level.
When an error condition occures, you can use this backed up system data to recover the print controller.
To restore the print controller system, you need to use the firmware recovering floppy disk. For details
of how to use the floppy disk, refer to the section, “Steps for Recovering Print Controller
System(p.Appendix-4-4).”

Steps for Recovering Print Controller System

Caution: For IP-601M and IP-602 firmware of Ver5.x and before, you should follow the proce-
dure below.
FDs for recovery-use only are available. You need to confirm and use proper ones.

Complete the following steps to recover the print controller system.

Caution: As a result of completing the following steps, downloaded fonts, password print
data and scanned image data are lost, then the settings for the print controller are
reset to defaults.

1. Switch off the power.


2. Insert the recovering floppy disk into Drive A.
3. Switch on the power.
The print controller system is automatically recovered using a batch file (this takes about 8 minutes).
The batch processing includes the following:
• Starting up from a floppy disk (about 1 minute and 10 seconds)
• Formatting drive C (about 1 minute)
• Checking the hard disk surface (about 3 minutes and 30 seconds)
• Extracting the compressed print controller system from drive D to drive C (about 2 minutes and 30
seconds)
• Writing the boot codes of VxWorks (about 1 second)

Caution: The time numbers shown above are approximate. The processing time varies
depending on the hard disk condition and contained data size.

4. Check if the process was successful.


A series of blips attests that the process is over.
5. Turn the copier off.
6. Remove the floppy disk.
7. Turn the copier back on to check if it behaves normally.

Caution: If the process was not successful, intermittent bleeping buzzer will sound. If this is
the case, try again from step 1.
If you walk through the steps for a second time and the system is still not recov-
ered, then you need to replace the hard disk.
If the user is using additional fonts, they need to be downloaded again.

[7] P Feature
Procedures for checking the number of printed out sheets
The copier is provided with a "P feature" that enables you to know how many prints have been produced so far at
a given time. The number of printed out sheets is shown on a printer counter.
1. Switch on power to the copier.
2. Press the P button.
P mode screen will show on the operation panel and it indicates Printer counter.
3. Press the EXIT button to complete the procedure.

[8] Handling Print Controller Mother Board


The following are general guidelines for you to follow when handling the mother board.
Switching off power
Turn the system off, and then remove the power cord plug from the print controller. Otherwise, it may have
a chance that the power is switched on accidentally during transport.
Power Supply Unit
The main unit connectors are required to be connected to the mother board so that the black line of each
connector comes side by side.
Board Height
Always have a spare nylon stand at hand. An old stand is fragile and is likely to be damaged in the removal
process. When replacing the stand, check to make sure that the height of both the old and new stands is
identical. If the mother board tilts even slightly, plugging ad-on cards into the board gets difficult.
Plugging in DIMM Modules
When plugging in DIMM memory modules, refer to "Installation of DIMM Memory Modules" in the service
handbook. The DIMM memory module is held in place by means of the cutouts in its bottom. If the module
is loose and wobbly at the ends, do not push it in with force, but remove it and try again.
Use Proper Tools
Do not use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the mother board from the nylon stand. If you let the screw-
driver slip accidentally, the board pattern easily scratches. Be sure to use a pair of pliers having tapered
ends to hold the wing of the nylon stand at a height of about 1 mm off the board, and carefully take out the
stand.
Ribbon Cable
When reinstalling the ribbon cable for the disk drive, make sure that the color (mostly, red) stripe-marked
lead becomes the #1 lead. For the disk interface as well, the corresponding interface port or mother board
is mostly marked #1. When removing a drive from a cable, be sure to always arrange the #1 lead so as to
come on the same connector side as the power cable.
