- 3 - ENERAL ESCRIPTION MFF terminals are part of a range of multifunction office equipment. The product consists of a duplex color scanner with a resolution of 600 dpi and a black-and-white laser printer with a resolution of 600 dpi. These two components are combined in a monobloc unit. The documents to be processed are read by means of a sheet feeder scanner using CIS (Contact Image Sensor) technology via the ADF (Automatic Document Finder) or via la the exposition window for bulky documents.

- 19 - OFTWARE OWNLOAD Three methods can be used to update the machine software: • by means of a link to a PC, • by means of an STN (switched telephone network) connection, • by means of a local network. The main software (that runs on the CPU board), the boot software, the line 2 modem software and the PCL/SG Script font files can be downloaded independently.
- 20 - - Enter the phone number of the fax to be downloaded in the first destinataire (addressee) field; - Click on <Emettre> (send): the transmission is effected when it reaches the top of the transmission queue. • The Quadrige calls the fax. If the connection is made, the fax displays Téléchargement en cours (download in progress) and the comm.
- 21 - • Perform the downloading process following the steps bellow: - Modify the terminal IP adress following the steps bellow: - Go to the menu: , 2, 5, 3, 2 then OK. - Type 169 254 000 001 then OK and STOP. - Position the SOS Softswitch bit 8 at 1: , *, #, OK, 1, OK, STOP.
- 22 - • The “threshold” criterion is based on the page thresholds entered in the remote readout menu accessed by means of the key sequence MENU, *, 6. When a consumables counter drops below the corresponding threshold, the remote readout is triggered. For instance, if the toner threshold is set to 1500 pages, a remote readout will be transmitted when the toner counter drops below 1500, or in other words, when the remaining toner allows no more than 1500 pages to be prin- ted.
- 24 - 9.4.2 EMOTE EADOUT EPORT For each transmission a remote readout report is printed. It contains all the data that have been transmit- ted to the server in transparent mode. In the case of a transmission in fax mode, the fax that is received is identical to this report.
- 25 - 9.4.3 ESCRIPTION OF THE ARAMETERS The different fields shown in the report are described below. General Information • No 23 millions (TNO_23MIL): the 23M of the module managed by the server, entered by the installer; • No de série (TNO_SERIE): the identification of the terminal, entered by the installer; •...
- 26 - • Précédente télérelève le… (T_DATE_SEUIL_NOIR): date of the last remote readout triggered by the toner threshold criterion, or installation date if there has not been any previous remote readout; • (XXXX pages) (T_CPT_NOIR): theoretical number of pages remaining to be printed at the ins- tant of the triggering of the previous remote readout by the toner threshold criterion (or 0 if there has not been any previous remote readout);...
- 27 - If this transmission is not possible for any reason, print out the Remote Readout parameters or display the copy counter and note these values on the intervention report. 10. SAVING DATA ON EEPROM CARD The control panel is equipped with a reader that can read and write on EEPROM cards in I2C format (“directory card”).

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE 3-1. To Ensure the Printer is Used in an Optimum Condition • Never place a heavy object on the printer or subject the printer to shocks. • Insert the power plug all the way into the outlet. •...
HANDLING OF THE CONSUMABLES Before using any consumables, always read the label on its container carefully. • Paper can easily damp. To prevent absorption of moisture, store paper in a place with lit- tle moisture. • Keep consumables out of the reach of children. •...
PAPER PATH Exit Tray Multipurpose Tray 4136M539AA • The printer adopts the 1-way paper feeding system by means of the Multipurpose Tray (capable of holding up to 150 sheets of paper). • The paper taken up and fed in by the Paper Take-Up Roll is transported through the printer by the Image Transfer Roller, Fusing Roller, and Exit Roller and fed out of the printer face down onto the Exit Tray.

5-2. Laser Exposure Process • The laser beam light emitted from the Print Head is used to create an electrostatic latent image on the surface of the PC Drum. • The following control is provided to correctly time image printing. Print Head Unit Laser Diode Polygon Motor...
5-3. Laser Emission Timing • When a READY signal is detected a given period of time after the print command has been issued, the Controller/Mechanical Control Board outputs a laser ON signal. • The laser ON signal makes a laser beam to be emitted and the laser beam travels to the Polygon Mirror, G1 Lens, and the SOS Mirror to eventually hit the SOS Sensor, which generates an SOS signal.
5-4. Laser Emission Area Main scanning direction • The print start position is determined by the main scanning print start signal (/HSYNC) output from the Controller/Mechanical Control Board and the width of the paper. • The laser emission area is determined by the paper size. Areas with a width of 4 mm on both edges are not, however, printed.
5-5. Cooling of the Printer Interior • The Cooling Fan Motor is used to discharge heat generated from the PH Unit out of the printer, thereby preventing the PH Unit from getting hot. PH Unit Cooling Fan Motor 4136M518AA...
DRUM CHARGE Overview • The PC Drum is charged with static electricity before laser exposure. • The Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film are used for charging. • Since the Drum Charge Brush and the Pre-charge Film directly deposit charge on the PC Drum, they produce little ozone.
IC (IMAGING CARTRIDGE) SECTION 7-1. Overview • The illustration below shows the construction of the Toner Cartridge and the Developing Unit. • This printer adopts the single-component FMT, or Fine Micro Toning, developing system. • The Toner Agitating Screw conveys toner in the Toner Cartridge onto the Toner Supply Roller.
Page 153
• The Imaging Cartridge consists of a T/C (Toner Cartridge) and a D/C (Drum Cartridge) (see the illustration below). D/C (Drum Cartridge) Imaging Cartridge 4136M511AA 4136M513AA T/C (Toner Cartridge) M-12...
7-2. PC Drum • The PC Drum used in this printer is the organic photoconductor (OPC) type. • The drum consists of two layers - Charge Transport Layer (CTL) and the Charge Gener- ating Layer (CGL) - applied to an aluminum alloy base (cylinder). Handling Precautions: The PC Drum of this type exhibits light fatigue after being exposed to light for a long time, which results in its sensitivity being changed.
7-3. Developing System • The Toner Agitating Screw conveys toner in the Toner Cartridge onto the Toner Supply Roller. • The Toner Supply Roller transports the toner to the Sleeve Roller. • The 1st Toner Blade located above the Sleeve Roller spreads a thin, even coat of toner over the Sleeve Roller.
7-4. Detection of Toner Cartridge Installation detection • The IC chip (CSIC) built into the Toner Cartridge detects that the Imaging Cartridge is installed in position when the power switch is turned OFF and ON, and the Front Door is opened and closed.
IMAGE TRANSFER 8-1. Overview • The toner image formed on the surface of the PC Drum during the developing process is transferred onto the paper. • This printer adopts the roller image transfer system, in which the Image Transfer Roller is used to transfer the image onto the paper.
FUSING UNIT 9-1. Overview • The toner image transferred onto the paper is securely fixed to the paper. • A heated roller system is used as the fusing system. The paper, to which the toner image has been transferred, is fed between the Fusing Roller heated by the Fusing Roller Heater Lamp and the Pressure Roller.
