Servicing Notes

Power and Plug Requirements

The imageCLASS MF236n/MF232w devices require a NEMA 5-15 receptacle for proper operation. Before installation, confirm that a proper NEMA receptacle is available for this device. It is not necessary to have a dedicated line.

Table 4 — Power and Plug Requirements

Installation Space Requirements

The approximate installation space requirements for the imageCLASS MF236n and MF232w are shown below. Always ensure that there is enough space for the service and operation of the device.
Keep the back and sides of the machine at least 4" (100 mm) away from a wall for proper servicing of the equipment.

Estimated Installation Time

The estimated length of time needed to unpack and install the machine is approximately 5.2 minutes^[3]. This is based on one (1) experienced technician or end-user.

Notes on the Wireless LAN

• The imageCLASS MF232w machine is designed for indoor use, and must be kept at a close distance (approximately 16.4' (5 m)) from an access point.
• It is recommended to check if masking is found. Communications between walls and floors can deteriorate; therefore, arrange for the proper installation of the machine to reduce any deterioration in communications.
• Radio wave interference may occur if radio wave equipment, such as a microwave is near the machine, and it is in the same frequency band as the radio wave used by the wireless LAN. Keep the machine away from radio wave sources as much as possible.

Firmware Upgrade

The imageCLASS MF236n and imageCLASS MF232w support two methods to upgrade the firmware.

1. Upgrading with the UST
   Firmware is available for download on the Canon USA public Web site (http://www.usa.canon.com/support). When servicing the machine, make sure to go to the Canon USA public Web site, and download the most recent firmware.
   Note:
   • A computer and the most recent UST (User Support Tool) file are required to install upgraded firmware.
   • The UST and firmware are included in the firmware package download from the Canon USA public Web site.
2. Upgrading via the Internet
   The imageCLASS MF236n and imageCLASS MF232w firmware can be upgraded without the use of an external PC.
   
   • To upgrade the firmware via Internet, the Serial Number of the machine must be written on the Main Controller PCB, and the BODY number must be registered in the Service Mode.
   • The machine must also be connected to a network with Internet access.
     After the machine's firmware is updated, the machine restarts and installs the update. For more information on updating firmware without a PC, see the imageCLASS MF230 Series Service Manual.

Service Support Tools

The only tools required for servicing the imageCLASS MF236n/MF232w are part of the technician's standard tool set. No special tools are required.
The oil in the table below should also be carried to ensure the imageCLASS MF236n and MF232w are serviced properly. For more information on the oil below, see the imageCLASS MF 230 Series Service Manual.

Table 7 — Oil

Type	Part Number2	Usage/Remarks
Ethyl Alcohol	-	Cleaning of metal parts, grease, and toner Procure locally Keep away from fire
Lubricant	HY9-0007	Apply to the gears, shafts, and shaft supports. Molykote EM-50L (Dow Corning Corporation)

2 Item numbers and part numbers are subject to change without notice.

Cleaning

The imageCLASS MF236n and MF232w do not have parts which require cleaning during a service visit. If the platen glass becomes dirty during servicing, clean the glass with a dry, lint-free paper.

Periodic Replacement Parts

The imageCLASS MF236n and MF232w do not have parts that require periodic replacement.

Consumables

Consumables are all products and materials that are consumed with regular use and cannot be reused. Such consumables include, but are not limited to, paper and toner.
A number of factors are considered to determine the approximate yield expectancy of a consumable item, including paper size and the amount of coverage per page.
Note: All consumables shown in the table below are estimates for reference purposes only, and are subject to change without notice.
