Releasing the limitation
of the output number
when stapling a few
sheets of paper at the
DF

The current limitation to stop outputting at 150 sets to prevent the stack of paper from
falling from the main tray with sets of paper consisting of a few sheets of paper with 1
staple is changed.

The firmware is upgraded so the limitation to stop the paper output at 150 sets can be set
in maintenance mode U237 (Setting finisher stack quantity).

The content of setting "0" and "1" after selecting the "Main Tray" in the maintenance mode
U237 is changed.
[Before change]
With staple 0: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 150 sets or
- 1500 sheets if 30 or less sheets are stapled.
- 4000 sheets if 31 or more sheets are stapled.
1: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 150 sets or 1500
sheets.
Without staple 0: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 4000 sheets. (*1)
1: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 1500 sheets.
[After change]
With staple 0: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 4000 sheets. (*1)
1: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 150 sets or
- 1500 sheets if 30 or less sheets are stapled.
- 4000 sheets if 31 or more sheets are stapled.
Without staple 0: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 4000 sheets. (*1)
1: Number of the paper stacked on the main tray is 4000 sheets. (*1)

(*1): The above numbers are when the small size paper is used. If the large size paper is
used, number is decreased to 1500.

Default: 0
2 Corrective measure for
failure of the paper
width paddle operation
when ejecting
Executive paper (7.25
10.5 inch)
The paper width paddle operates at the position not correctly aligning with the paper size
when using the Executive paper (7.25 x 10.5 inch) as the shift amount of the cursors is
not defined.
Firmware is upgraded so the shift cursors are not operated when using Executive paper.

Details of Changes
No. Changes and Implementations Remarks
1 Reducing the toner dropping to
the transfer belt
Toner is accumulated on the fur brush when continuously printing high
coverage and it may drop to the transfer belt if the accumulation exceeds the
certain amount. Thus, the following is changed.
[Change]
It is so changed to rapidly rotate the transfer belt cleaner fur brush linked with
the LSU cleaning timing in order to eject the toner. Also, the ejected toner is
collected by driving the transfer belt and drum to apply the bias.
2 Measure for the paper backside
contamination during the print
operation
Negatively-charged toner may remain after transfer depending on the type of
paper and as a result, the cleaning failure may occur. The following change is
implemented.
[Change]
While the positive bias is conventionally applied between pages for Bond only,
it is now applied for all the media types.
3
Shortening the recovery time for
the quiet mode at low
temperature

For details, please refer to the
following pages
It may require more time before starting to print in the quiet mode as the fuser
is warmed up at every print operation.
The following change is implemented.
[Change]
The starting temperature for the low temperature compensation can now be
changed in the maintenance mode.
[READY TIME ADJUST] is added to the U161.
Note) The fusing ability may be affected with no aging when the starting
temperature for the low temperature compensation is set to low.
4 Corrective measures for the
excessive toner concentration at
the trailing edge of solid image

Newly added as described at right
for the TASKalfa 7550ci/6550ci
(Added to the U464)
Changed as described at right for
the TASKalfa
5550ci/4550ci/3550ci/3050ci
[Edge Reduction] in the U464 is changed to [Solid Image].
VslvDC is reduced by 20V in the color print mode.
(The following are changed after the change to VslvDC.)
Adjustment change to each compensation value
Toner Dispose Amount change
Target Value change
physical paper size error
detection failure

The physical paper size error
occurs when the paper size set
for the paper source and what is
actually printed is different.
(e.g. A4 size is set for the MP
tray but A5 size is placed and
fed.)

While the physical paper size error is detected when the paper eject is
completed, if a paper jam is detected before the paper ejection, the paper is
then held and the physical paper size error cannot be detected. The physical
size error occurs again after clearing the jam and the feed operation starts,
triggering a jam at the DF eject or duplex copy operation.
[Change]
The physical paper size error is now detected when it occurs instead of at the
paper eject timing, displaying the error message to call users attention. (The
following messages appear when the physical paper size error occurs.)
- [Check MP tray paper]
- [Paper size error]
- Load selected size paper and press [Continue]
6 Preventing the start-up failure
after installing the Panel Plus
The Panel Plus with customized panel setting may fail to start up due to an
error. This is corrected.
7 Preventing the F2A6 error When sending via NW-Fax or in-Fax, even if an error is detected internally, it
tries to operate normally, triggering the F2A6 error. As a preventative measure,
it is changed to terminate Fax sending with error.
8 Corrective measure for the
event mail sending failure
The event mail may not be sent even if the event mail setting is enabled. This is
corrected.



9 Measure for the F000 error with
the HyPAS application
The F000 error may occur with certain operations using the
Sequim (HyPAS). This is corrected.
10 Measure for the U332 problem
with the Printing System 11/12
(Fiery) installed machines
The U332 (Setting the size conversion factor) Mode=1 sets the color
coverage count threshold by color coverage (Low, Middle, High) but it is
not correct in the machines with the Printing System 11/12 (Fiery) installed.
This is corrected.
cancellation of "Low Toner"
state in the event report
The "Low Toner" state may be cancelled in the event report. This is
corrected. (If Add Toner displays when multiple Low Toner occur, even
other colors Low Toner is cancelled.)
duplicate content in the
maintenance mails
Listing of the service call errors may duplicate in the attachment file in the
maintenance mail. This is corrected.
13 Correction in the HyPAS Part of the HyPAS function does not operate. This is corrected.
14 Function improvement in the
copy service setting
The panel screen motion is slow if the copy service mode is enabled in the
U206. This is corrected.

Enhancement
16 Eliminating the punch unit
firmware from the enhancement
firmware upgrade pack
The punch unit firmware is eliminated from the enhancement
firmware upgrade pack as an error may occur with some
models if downloading the punch unit firmware when the punch
unit is not installed in the DF.
(No problem is expected unless the DF is installed.)

Shortening the recovery time for the quiet mode at low temperature

- [READY TIME ADJUST] is added to the U161.
- Shorten the recovery time by changing the setting value as necessary.
If the value is small, it is not regarded as low temperature and the maximum post-warm-up aging time is
reduced.
In order to secure the fusing temperature at 18
o
C temperature or less, the post-warm-up aging starts when the
[Ready] lamp turns on.

paper is changed.
(About 50mm before the current position)
JAM6510

JAM6510: DF bundle discharge
sensor stay jam
The paper width adjustment may fail when printing 3 sheets with staple by
the DF-790. Thus, the bundle interval is set to the current setting plus
500ms for 3 sheets with staple of small sizes of A4Y, B5Y and 16K-Y that
are held by the DF drum.
14 Corrective measures for the failure of
the cassette heater

PF-740,
PF-770
54 Support of the next series2 machines Tab index paper is supported.
[Current phenomenon]
Paper length is extended by the tab of the index paper and
the paper is not completely ejected since the eject distance
is short with the tab width. Then, next paper pushes it to
cause paper stock failure
[Change]
The eject motor is slowed down depending on paper length
and it is not applied to during feed of the tab index paper to
prevent the eject failure.
DF-770,
DF-790



No Details of changes Remarks

55 Change of the specification of the
manual staple mode clear time
The manual staple mode is now cleared if no stapling is
executed in a certain clear time after the last stapling
operation.

[Before]
If no stapling is executed during the manual staple mode,
it is cleared in 60s.

[After]
The manual staple mode is cleared despite the case whether
to execute the mode after the preset mode clear time*

*Mode clear setting if stapling is executed
-> System Menu -> Common Settings -> Manual Staple
-> Login -> Manual Staple -> ON/OFF
-> Clear Time -> OK

After the change, if no stapling is executed in the preset time
as above*, the mode also is cleared.
DF-790
56 Change of the main tray cursor width
adjustment
The eject paper width is adjusted for the main cursor when
ejecting custom size paper without offset, however, this is
meaninglessly adjusted with the maximum width and this
operation is eliminated.

57 Support for the next series2 models Productivity is changed matching the next series2 models

DP-770
58 Correcting the jam indication with an
narrow width original of about 5cm
width
The display remains at Scanning originals screen and the DP
jam does not appear when setting an narrow width original of
about 5cm and pressing the start key. After a while, it turns to
JAM0100, a jam at the main machine ( Secondary paper feed
request time out). This is corrected.
[Change]
This is so changed that the DP JAM* appears

* Depending on the paper conveying condition,
JAM9001: DP conveying jam,
JAM9400: DP timing sensor non-arrival jam or
JAM9410: DP timing sensor stay jam occurs
DP-770
59 Correction for Form Overlay

When forms and originals are set on the DP with the settings
of form overlay, 2-side to 1-side and scan new form at a time
and executed, the 2nd sheet original is also inconsistently fed
as form scanning and only one side of the 2nd sheet original
may be scanned. This is corrected.
[Change]
It may occur if the DP scanning interval is short. Thus, paper
feed interval is changed if paper length is less than A4 size
from 67 pulses to 93 pulses

12 Corrective measures for the problems
when using the pre-punched paper.

<Reference service bulletin>
2LC-0094(C214)/2K9-0029(C245)
Corrective measures for the paper
tear/jam of at the switchback section
and the horizontal line on the image
at the paper rear side. (When using
3-hole pre-punched paper*)
If using the 3-hole pre-punched paper, the regist sensor may mistakenly
detect the center hole among 3 as the paper rear end and then the motor
driving the regist roller may stop once although the paper rear end after 3
holes is nipped at the regist roller section after passing 3 holes.
As a result, the horizontal line on the image may appear on the paper rear
side. This is corrected.
[Change]
In the case the media type is the pre-punched paper,
- Timing for stopping the regist roller is delayed by 10mm.
- Timing for watching each sensor is revised.
- The interval between pages is extended for improving the margin against
the paper slip. (Decreased the productivity down to 80 %.)

Enhancement unit firmware Applied
1 Change of the detection of JAM9001
[DP original conveying jam].

(Refer to the following pages for
details.)
JAM9001 detection is revised because the short length original
becomes irremovable by entering into the space between the
rollers and then JAM9001 cannot be cleared.
[Change]
The jam timer is changed to 130mm because the distance
between the rollers nipping the original is 129.1mm.
Timing switch ON to OFF:
(Before) The jam code displays if the time is 110mm or less.
(After) The jam code displays if the time is 130mm or less.
DP-771
2 Corrective measures for JAM1514 The paper jam may occur or the paper may be fold in accordion
if feeding the paper from the cassette 4 without the document
finisher. This is corrected.
[Change]
The data may not be read by retied due to delay of the
communication with the engine. Thus, the control is revised so
that the communication is not excessively concentrated.
PF-730
PF-740
PF-770
PF-780
3 Change of way to clear the jam
(SMT).
Currently, JAM0000 occurring at PF-780 can be cleared by
opening both of the top cover and the right cover and then
closing the both covers. This time, this is changed so that it can
be cleared by opening and closing either of the covers in order.
PF-780
4 Improving the productivity of PF-770. According to revision of the control in the main machine, the
50mm interval between pages is eliminated when feeding the
paper from PF-770.
PF-770
5 Change of the control for conveying
Monarch envelop.
When continuously ejecting the paper to the sub tray, Monarch
envelop is processed as the largest paper size because it is
regarded as irregular size. Depending on the control, the DF
exit motors speed is reduced to 400mm/sec at a defined timing
although the DF conveying motor speeds up 600mm/sec after
passing through the DF paper entrance sensor. As a result, the
paper jam may occur by the DF paper conveying motor's step-
out due to the speed gap between the DF paper conveying
motor and the DF exit motor. This is corrected.
[Change]
This is changed so that the control judges the DF paper
conveying speed when reducing the DF exit motors speed, and
then stops reducing the DF exit motors speed if the DF paper
conveying speed is 600m/sec.
DF-790
6 Support for the new models. The control is changed for supporting FS-C8600DN and
FS-C8650DN.
MT-730



1. Support for the maintenance time display of the paper feeding pulley at the cassette and the large
capacity feeder.

This firmware upgrade enables to display the maintenance time of all the paper sources.
The maintenance time of the paper feeding pulley for the cassette and the large capacity feeder is not displayed currently,
but U250 and U251 are so changed that they can be displayed.

1. U250 ([Checking/clearing the maintenance cycle]) and U251 [Checking/clearing the maintenance counter]) are changed for
enabling to refer to, set and clear the page counts of each paper source by adding Cass1~Cass7. (Except MPF and duplex
section.)
2. As for the optional feeder/deck, the installed one in the machine is displayed.
3. Initial setting when shipping the machine from factory is the following.
U250: 150K, U251: 0
4. Count-up condition is based on the spec of the page counts of the paper source at U901.
5. In case of setting U250 to 0, the maintenance time is not displayed.
6. As for the display on the Command Center (CCRX), they are displayed on the status message of the device status.
However, if the prior status may occur, they are not displayed. And, if reaching the maintenance time of the multi-paper
source at the same timing, only the one of them is displayed. (It is not reflected to the other utilities, etc.)
7. The following are required when upgrading the firmware in field.
- Change the base page counts to 150K that is newly added in U250.
- Input the page counts of U901 to the page counts for the maintenance in U251.
(If exceeding 150K, please replace with the new paper feeding pulley and input 0 to U251.)
(The machine shipped from the factory with the new firmware has no particular problems.)
8. If the prior message is displayed on the operation panel, they are not displayed.

2. Auto switching of the default paper source for the large capacity feeder (PF-740/770).

This change enables auto switching to the feeder having the smallest page counts as the default paper source in order to
equalize the use frequency of the paper feeding pulley at the large capacity feeder. (PF-740/PF-770)

1. [Auto Switch] is added to the paper source setting in the Menu.
[System Menu] > [Common Setting] > [Original/Paper Settings] > [Default Paper Source]
> [Auto Switch] (*) --- [off] or [on] <-- Added.

(*) Unless the cassette # of the large capacity feeder (PF-740 or PF-770) is selected in [Default Paper Source],
[Auto Switch] is not displayed.
Initial setting when shipping the machine from factory: [on].
2. If upgrading the firmware in field, [Auto Switch] is set as [off]. Thus, change it to [on] manually.
(The machine shipped from the factory with the new firmware does not need to change the above setting.)
3. If all of the following 5 conditions are fulfilled, the auto switching of the default paper source is executed when starti ng up the
main power or recovering from the sleep mode only.
1) [Auto Switch] is set to [on] that is added to [Menu].
2) Total of the large capacity paper source is 2 and more regarding the large capacity feeder PF-740/PF-770.
(PF-740 containing the 2 large capacity paper sources can fulfill this condition by installing one unit only.)
3) The large capacity feeder (PF-740 or PF-770) is selected in the default paper source setting.
4) The multiple large capacity paper sources including the default paper source have the same paper size and same
media type setting
5) The large capacity paper source that has smallest page counts (U251) of the applied large capacity paper sources is
switched as the default paper source. Please execute the following when upgrading the firmware in field because the
designed operation is not executed unless the correct value is registered at U251.
- Input the page counts of U901 to the page counts for the maintenance in U251.
(If exceeding 150K, please replace with the new paper feeding pulley and input 0 to U251.)

A condensation mode is added to U148 (Setting drum refresh mode).
(Condensation mode)
Execute the drum refresh mode after calculating the relative humidity
around the drum based on the machine outside temperature/humidity and
the inside temperature.

U148 Normal (Original drum refresh mode)
Dew Condensation (New addition) Input 0-3.
(Default: 0)
0 : Disabled
1,2,3 : More the value, more the frequency of refresh
operation

Measure for C510x

C510x: Main high-voltage error
The C510x error may be detected in a low temperature environment. The
following changes are implemented as a measure.
- Change to the charger adjustment table
- Change to the charger adjustment method when the machine inside
temperature is less than 5 degrees C. (Perform the charger adjustment
five (5) times and apply the lowest optimum value.)
- Change to the charger error detection
- When error is detected, C-code will be displayed after five (5) seconds.
(As the charger error may be caused not only by the high voltage board
failure but also by the drum motor error, extra time is given to check for
the drum motor torque problem. If it is caused by the drum motor error,
the C221x will light.)
20
Measure for the color output failure If you turn the power OFF immediately after power ON when completing
the firmware update, the backup data fails to be initialized, causing the
color output failure, etc. This has been corrected.
[Change]
The backup data will be updated five (5) seconds after the power ON.



21
Measure to prevent the BK mode
reset failure when the color toner
empty is detected
If it is set to enter the BK mode when the color toner empty is detected,
even if the BK mode setting is requested for unexpected reasons, there is
no trigger to reset. The following change is made.
[Change]
At power up or when coming out of sleep mode, if there is no empty color
toner, the BK mode will be reset.
* If the BK mode cannot reset after replacing the color toner, please cycle
the power with this firmware to reset the BK mode.
22
Preventing the C8420 in punch mode

C8420: Punch slide motor error 2
When the paper width changes in the punch mode setting with mixed width
paper printing and Mailbox or tray B as output tray, there is no finisher
initialization taking place. As a result, the paper width cannot be detected
when performing the punch operation, triggering the C8420.
(This may occur when the paper width is changed from small to large size.)

[Change]
When using the mixed width paper with the punch mode setting, finisher
initialization will be carried out when paper width is switched.
23
Change to the type name for the
Color table (Prn) in U485
One (1) type name is changed for the color table that is to be registered for
Color Table 1 (prn) or Color Table 2 (prn) in U485. (This is only the
description change.)

TYPE_CA
TYPE_FUTYPE_FJ
TYPE_TO
TYPE_KO
TYPE_RH
TYPE_KY (There is no change to other type names.)



Enhancement Models
24 Measure for stack failure with
downward curl paper
When small-size paper has a downward curl, it may push the
paper on the output tray out or it may roll up due to the curl,
causing the stack failure. The following change is carried out as
a measure.
[Change]
When using small size paper (smaller than A4 lateral/Letter
lateral) in sort mode, the tray will be lifted close to the paper exit
opening to have the paper ejected onto the tray as close as
possible.
- When using the paper size and the mode as described above,
the top edge of the tray will be stopped according to the paper
topside detection, not the tray upper limit detection.
DF-770
25 Measure for JAM6200

JAM6200: DF sub eject sensor non
arrival JAM
If copying mixed-size A4 originals and A3 originals using DP with
the Mailbox as output tray, JAM6200 may be detected on the
DF-790. This has been corrected.
DF-790
26 Main tray full detection conditions
reexamined
Excessive amount of paper may become loaded on the main
tray, blocking the eject opening of DF. The main tray full
detection conditions are changed.

28 Jam handling enhancement at the left
cassette section

When jam occurs during the continuous feed from CAS4 (left
side) (1500-sheet cassette x 2), if you open CAS4 (left side)
before opening CAS3 (right side) and lateral conveying unit, the
paper becomes damaged making it difficult to clear the jam. This
has been corrected.
[Change]
If the paper is turning the CAS4 feed sensor ON when jam
occurs, the paper will be forwarded until its leading edge turns the
lateral conveying switch ON. This will also apply to the main unit
jam or PF jam.

Jam handling enhancement at bridge
(AK) section

Please upgrade the DF-790/770
firmware at the same time. Or a
JAM may result.
Depending on the position of the jammed paper, the paper may become torn
between the bridge and the main unit exit section or between the bridge and the
finisher when the bridge is pulled out, making it difficult to clear the paper
completely. As a preventative measure, the following changes are carried out.
[Content of Changes]
The control is changed so when a paper jam occurs between the bridge and the
main unit exit section, the paper shall be ejected to the bridge section and when
it occurs between the bridge and the finisher, the paper shall be ejected to the
finisher side whenever possible.
Measure for MPF no paper feed jam
(J0509)
(J0509: No paper feed from MP tray)
As a paper feed performance improvement of the MPF, the retry operation is
increased from one to three (3) times).
Implementing the error message
notice to the Print Fleet
Currently, the main unit status (error message, etc.) is displayed with the Alert
number only. This has been changed to display with a sentence.
Preventative measure for the ghost
image caused by condensation on
the drum
Stop the eject unit cooling fan from the time the initial warm-up starts to up to
ten (10) minutes except during the print operation.
If the fan stops within ten (10) minutes due to open cover, etc., the same control
shall be activated from the next warm-up operation for up to ten (10) minutes.
Once exceeding ten (10) minutes, a normal control will run until the power OFF
or entering the sleep mode.
Changing the conditions for drum
refresh mode
Frequency of the drum refresh mode is changed according to the elapsed time
since the last drive time when the power is ON (if coming out of sleep mode, the
length of time in the mode).
Less than three (3) hours: No refresh operation
----- (With Pack Ver. 2.00 and higher)
Three (3) to les than six (6) hours: Once when in normal mode.
(Exception: Four (4) times if the temperature/humidity is more than
30/75%.
If the short or long mode is set, follow the setting.
More than six (6) hours: Follow the mode setting.
Preventing the color density
fluctuation before and after calibration
Accuracy in calibration is increased.
Disabling the output onto the B tray
when using the main box (MT-730)
Currently, even if the main unit is in the partial operation control mode, the tray
B can be selected as the output tray and this may trigger a paper jam. As a
preventative measure, the following modification is carried out.
[Content of Change]
The output onto tray B is now disabled if the main unit is in the partial operation
control mode.
Preventing the J0131 (MP lift sensor
upper limit detection)/ C1000 (MP lift
motor error)
The error detection time was 1.5 seconds for the 3050ci/3550ci/4550ci and the
5550ci. It is now changed to 3 seconds like other models.
Measure for the fuser failure after
completing warm-up operation (when
the quiet mode is ON)
The warm-up adjustment temperature at the start of printing is changed.
Improving the work efficiency at
factory

We changed the default values in U464 in November as a measure to keep
control over the production process. However, we need to change them back
for the work efficiency reasons.
U464: TARGET VALUE
Thickness (M) 920 890 Thickness (C) 940 910
Thickness (Y) 940 910



Preventing a stain on the rear side of
paper after calibration
During calibration, the toner (oppositely charged toner) on the secondary
transfer roller is returned to the belt. In some cases, the cleaning brush cannot
completely clean the returned toner, staining the secondary transfer roller when
running the first sheet after calibration, causing the rear side of paper to become
stained. The following changes are carried out to reduce the oppositely charged
toner.
[Change]
Change the primary transfer bias switch timing during calibration.
Change the secondary transfer forward bias application timing.
Measure for C710x

C710x: C7101/C7102/C7103/C7104
Toner sensor error for each color
Once the print job is interrupted, there is a 50msec timing when toner cannot be
monitored between the last paper recognition process and the print resume
process. If the print job is received at this timing, the toner will not be supplied
due to toner detection failure and as a result, the C710X error may trigger. This
has been corrected.
Measure for C710X after the F183
error occurs

*C7101: Toner sensor K error
*C7102: Toner sensor C error
*C7103: Toner sensor M error
*C7104: Toner sensor Y error
In some cases, paper feed may be requested from an empty cassette when the
F183 occurs. If the process to start drive is carried out before print cancellation
is notified, only the DC for charge bias may become turned ON (AC is OFF) and
after the imaging process, solid image may be output. This has been corrected.
Preventing the PCL-XL error when
outputting a certain PDF
When printing a certain PDF (KX Driver, PCL-XL, Outline), the PCL-XL error
may occur. This has been corrected.

[Conditions]
1. The initial developer setting operation may not be completed
properly when calibration is executed in U464, if you enter the
maintenance mode within 2 minutes after turning the power ON
upon replacement of DV unit.
2. As to the control conditions for the initial developer setting operation,
in some cases, it may be controlled by only the DV unit side
information.
[Change]
1. Even if entering the maintenance mode in the middle of initial
developer setting operation, in the case where calibration is
executed in U464, initial developer setting operation will be
prioritized and only after it is completed, calibration will be executed.
2. The control for the initial developer setting operation is reviewed.

completed, if the C6600 error occurs
Measure for the problems
while in silent mode
(Image dropout on the second
side of paper at 45mm from
the trailing edge/C6910 error)
When printing in silent mode, the machine will start to warm up
coming out of energy saver mode. If the print Job request is received
during the process, depending on the timing, unintended control may
work, causing a white void area on the image or C-call may be
detected. This has been corrected.
Measure for C6910 error
(3050ci only)
If a B/W print (1 or 2 page) job is received while executing the warm-
up calibration after coming out of sleep mode, C6910 error may
trigger. This has been corrected.
resetting the no paper feed jam
(JAM0501)
No paper feed jam (JAM0501) may occur when coming out of silent
mode and when resetting, the driving goes on continuously. This has
been corrected.
paper full/empty information
does not match
1) Measure for the print
operation start failure:
Paper full/empty information may differ between Main and Engine.
When it occurs, the print operation would not start while driving as the
print or cancel order is sent out alternately. This has been corrected.
(If this is the case, no paper information will be prioritized, canceling
the print operation.)
2) Measure for the C6020 error

Preventing the communication
error from being counted when
the C67xx occurs

C67xx : Error detected at IH CPU
The common process will be carried out when the C67xx error or the
communication error occurs. As a result, when the C67xx error is
detected, the communication error is counted. This has been
corrected

Measure for the reset failure of
monochrome mode
While the toner status display will change to 100% when replacing
color toner after printing in monochrome mode, monochrome mode
may fail to reset. The retry process to request resetting of
monochrome mode has been added.



Measure for JAM491x/501x
(When feeding thick paper)

JAM491x: BR conveying sensor 1
stay jam
JAM501x: BR conveying sensor 2
stay jam
When feeding thick paper, the bridge conveying motor 2 may step out
while creating the paper slack at the DF entry roller in the finisher due
to insufficient motor torque, causing a paper jam. As a measure, the
motor will be started again as the trailing edge of paper passes
through the bridge conveying roller 3.

Preventing stain on rear side of
coated paper (Monochrome
printing)
The secondary transfer roller operation is changed to prevent stain on
rear side of coated paper when printing in linear speed in
monochrome mode.
Measures to prevent the
CF186 error
The CF186 error may trigger if printed in full speed after printing in
linear speed. This has been corrected.
Scanner Change to the black streaks
detection specification
[Content 1]

The following changes are carried out as a measure to prevent the
display failure of cleaning guidance.
[Current issue 1]
Currently the black streak reduction mode is ON as default setting. In
this setting, the guidance will be displayed based on the designated
number of scanned pages and not when black streaks are detected.
[Measure 1]
If the black streaks occur during the scan operation even once
between pages, the DP scan position will be shifted for the next Job.
Once the DP scan position matches with the DP scan home position,
the black streaks cleaning guidance will display.
[Content 2] [Current issue 2]
The guidance does not display if the count at last paper matches with
designated number of pages, as the counter to compare with the
designated original number is between pages.
[Measure 2]
Count timing is now changed from between pages to after one page is
scanned. Additionally, as to comparison with the designated number
of pages, it is changed from the count between pages to the number
of pages at the completion of Job.
Preventing lockup when
copying the book originals
When setting the book original on the original platen, if the original
detection switch is repeatedly cycled, machine lockup may occur.
Measure for the DP original
size detection error

The original size detection error may occur if the originals are
removed and reloaded while the Remove originals in document
processor. message displays after pressing the [Cancel] button
during the DP scan. This has been corrected.
Measure for the long edge
original size detection error
The long edge original size may not be correctly detected if the long
edge original size switch is quickly changed from the OFF setting to
ON, OFF and then ON while the originals are set. While the long
edge size is ON, the OFF size may be displayed. This has been
corrected.



Preventing a machine lockup
when pressing the start key
after canceling the DP scan
If the stat key is pressed upon opening the platen cover after closing
the platen cover, depending on the timing, machine lockup may occur
with the lamp illuminated. This has been corrected.
Preventing the operation error
when running U411 with the
platen cover open
If U411 (Adjusting the scanner automatically) is executed for the Table
with the original platen cover switch being OFF (the Cover is open), a
carriage operation error may occur. This has been corrected.
DP-771 Measure for the C0630 error The C0630 error may be detected when coming out of sleep mode.
Measure for the 16KE
original jam with the document
Box save screen
When the 16KE originals are set on the DP with the document Box
save screen, jam may trigger before the secondary feed of the third
original. This has been corrected.
Corrective measure for the
image dropout at the trailing
edge of punched originals
The trailing edge of punched originals may drop out at rear side when
simultaneously scanning in duplex mode. This has been corrected.
[Change]
If the punch hole overlaps the CIS timing sensor when scanning the
punched originals, the punch hole may be judged as the trailing edge
of paper. Therefore, it is changed that if the sensor ON detection
occurs within 20mm after OFF detection, the CIS timing sensor will
judge it as a punch hole and wait for the next detection of trailing
edge.
(Also
applicable to
DP-770)
Change to JAM9010
(Document processor open)
detecting condition

JAM9010 may trigger when opening the DP to scan other original
from the scanner table when the last original is ejected. This has
been corrected.
[Change]
JAM9010 detecting condition is changed. Jam will not be detected
after scanning the last original.
Measure to prevent JAM9310
in simplex color mode

JAM9310: DP CIS sensor stay jam
JAM9310 may be detected when DP-scanning the color originals in
600-dpi in simplex mode. This has been corrected.
Preventing JAM9300 with high
speed color machine

JAM9300: DP CIS sensor non
arrival jam
JAM9300 may occur if color originals are scanned in 300-dpi in duplex
mode when printing color copies with high-speed color machine. This
has been corrected.

PF-770 Preventing JAM0200

JAM0200: Machine sequence error
When the paper interval is short while feeding from the PF-770, the
paper feed switch ON/OFF information may fail to be relayed to the
main unit, triggering the JAM200 error code. This has been corrected.
DF-790
DF-770
Preventing the C8130 error

C8130: DF shift release motor
error
If the user tries to remove the paper stack while the machine is
operating such as starting the JOB and come in contact with some
parts of the machine, the position control failure may be caused. As a
result, the operation failure may occur, triggering the C8130 error.

Change to Maintenance Mode Adding the Edge Reduction process setting to the maintenance mode U464

The mode to reduce the density difference at the edge of image is added to the maintenance mode U464.

[Change]
[Edge Reduction]: Edge deduction mode
ON : Enabled
OFF : Disabled Default
(Note)
- Execute the developer refresh twice before executing the edge reduction mode.
- Calibration will be normally executed after switching the edge reduction mode from OFF to ON or ON to OFF.
- Light image may occur when continuous print operation is carried out using the low-density originals in low
temperature/humidity environment with the mode ON setting. If this is the case, please execute the developer
refresh operation two times.

Measure for Grainy Image
[Grain Mode] is added to the maintenance mode U161.

The image may become grainy with uneven toner transfer if printing the image containing much solid fill area on A4
or Letter size paper in Normal paper setting (not color-exclusive paper). The following changes have been carried
out.
*The above problem may hardly occur if printed on the paper with smooth surface.

[Change]
1) [Grainy Mode] is added to the maintenance mode U161. The following are the Mode you can select.
[MODE0] Current
[MODE1] Improve the grainy image
[MODE2] Further improvement
*When MODE 1 or 2 is set, the Plain paper setting will be automatically changed to Normal1 and the fusing control
will be adjusted.
*Applicable condition
Media type [Plain], Paper size [A4/LETTER]
Color mode
[Procedure]
1. If the grainy image occurs when using the A4/LETTER Plain paper, set the Grain Mode to MODE1 in U161.
2. If it requires further improvement, change to MODE2. (55/45/35/3050ci only)
3. The same control is applied in both MODE1 and 2 for high-speed color machines (7550ci/6550ci)

*Note*
A fusing failure may occur when using thick paper or outputting data containing many composite (solid fill) Images in
this mode. If this is the case, you may prevent this fusing issue by changing the media type to High Quality, which
will change the temperature setting to the original level.

New eject limit setting added to U342

Currently, when ejecting from the lower left tray without the DF installed, the number of pages ejected will set the
limit for output. No eject limit setting is made available now.

New setting item Eject limit setting is added to U342 to allow the user to change the setting (ON/OFF)
OnEject limited Default (Current setting)
OffNo eject limit
** Please note that when Off(No eject limit) setting is selected, the paper ejection will not stop by the number
of pages ejected.

Measure for C2201error

The fuser warm-up operation may fail to be completed, displaying a
false C2201 error code. It has been modified to display the C6910
code instead.
We have changed the control to prevent a false detection.

Enhancement Change/ Modification Details
PH-7A/B/C/D

Improving the tolerance for
punch process time
When outputting the letter size paper with the TASKalfa 8000i, a punch
error may occur. We have reexamined and shortened the punch unit
movement and adjustment process time to adress the issue.
DF-790
Preventing the JAM6310 from
triggering due to the paper
stack on Tray A

JAM6310:
DF middle eject sensor stay
jam
If the paper continues to stack while the trailing edge of the paper does
not reach the side plate of finisher after ejection, the Tray A upper limit
may fail to be detected, causing the paper to stack to the paper exit
section, causing the JAM6310 to trigger. This following change has been
carried out to address the problem.
[Change]
The condition of Tray Full with the paper stack of 31 sheets or more in
the staple mode has been changed so the tray full condition iwill be
detected when the state of paper stack is abnormal.
DF-790 Measure for the sort alignment
failure

During the side registration of shift guide in sort mode, the next paper
may come in contac with the Guide, causing an alignment failure to occur.
We have shortened the hold time after the width adjustment to address
this problem.
DF-790 Preventing a small bundle of
stapled paper from dropping
(The Main Tray Full detection
is added with 150 sets in
staple mode.)
It is modified so that if the same mode (size/number of sheets to be
stapled) continues to 150 sets as the maximum number of set, the Main
Tray full condition will be detected.

DF-790
PH-7A/B/C/D

Preventing thecorner edge of
paper from becoming folded
(dog-eared) due to punch hole

When the position of punch hole overlaps the edge of the paper or close
to each other, the corner edge of paper may enter the punch hole,
causing the paper to become dog-eared. A new process is added to
move punch unit to keep the paper away from the punch hole depending
on paper size, availability of punch spec. and whether in punch mode or
not.
DF-790 Measure for C8130 If you open/close the DF Cover while the Shift Guide for sorting is slightly
shifted from the hole position, a C8130 error code may trigger. This has
been corrected.
DF-790 Measure for JAM6610 The operation failure of the DF drum motor may trigger the JAM6610.

Measure for a printer
output destination error
with Collate ON/ Each set
settings

Even if you select the printer output destination, it may fail to be
carried out as designated when the following settings are made using
the system menu. This has been corrected.
System Menu Common settings Function Default
Collate/Offset

Setting:
Collate: ON Offset: Each set (Each page)
Disabling the punch mode
for the OHP (transparent)
paper
Punch mode is no longer available for the OHP media type.
Changing the C0640 (Hard
disk error) detection
specification
A C0640 error code will display in place of CF46F/56B that is caused
by HDD error.
Addition of new
maintenance mode U469
(Belt check mode)
(This is added for the use at production line.)
Performance
Enhancement 1
Preventing a system error
when printing after storing
a large quantities of PCL
macro data
When printing after storing PCL macro data (approximately 4,000), a
system error may trigger. This has been corrected.

Preventing an error when
executing U411 on the inch
machine
After adjusting the scanner automatically in U411 on the inch machine,
an error occurs due to the error on the detected black band area. This
has been corrected.



Performance
Enhancement 2
Change in U161 (New
modes added),
Preventing the
deterioration of fuser
roller

(*) User who repeats
continuous output of
approximately 1500 prints

5550ci/4550ci only
When large quantities of prints are output continuously, the
temperature of the cored bar inside the fuser roller increases. As a
result, the inside silicon rubber may become deteriorated due to the
heat and become damaged. As a preventative measure, the following
new modes are added for the high print volume user (*).
> The Mode item is added in U161and the following small items are
added.
Mode0 --- It is not normally used.
(This mode is used if a fuser problem occurs with continuous output in
Mode1. Please note, however, that a continuous use of Mode0 may
lead to deterioration of the fuser roller.)
Mode1 --- User in general (Default)
Mode2 --- User who repeats continuous output of approximately
1500 prints
> Mode1: Under the conditions below, the temperature control is added
every 50 prints after 500 continuous prints. (When paper
length is 356mm or more, every 25 prints after 250
continuous prints)
> Conditions No warm-up correction
Normal 2 or 3
Paper length is 216 mm or more
> Mode2: Productivity is controlled based on the press roller
temperature at the power ON and the 15-minute average
thermal energy amount. (In some cases, productivity may
decrease.)
Measure for the ghost
image
(Increasing the
effectiveness of drum
refresh operation)
When running the drum refresh operation while in quiet mode, the
heater will be turned OFF upon completion of the fuser unit warm-up
operation, and as a result the ghost image may occur. As a
preventative measure, the heater will be turned OFF after the warm-up
operation is complete for entire machine.
Measure for C2203 (Drum
motor M steady-state
error)
(Change to U100)

3550ci/3050ci only

A C2203 error may be detected due to the lack of margin for the motor
against increase of the drum torque due to the effect of corona
products. As a preventative measure, the following maintenance mode
is added.
- Add Set AC gain in U100 and the following small items are added.
Auto --- Automatically set based on the
Enviromental conditions (Default)
Mode1 --- When C2203 occurs.
(Multiplication value 0.95)
Mode2 --- When charge pitch lines (lateral lines) occur.
Mode3 --- When charge pitch lines (lateral lines) occurs after
setting Mode due to occurrence of C2203.



Measure for JAM4105
(Loop sensor non arrival
jam from cassette 5)
(With PF-770 installed)
JAM4105 may trigger while printing continuously using the PF-770.
This has been resolved.
Changing the condition for
drum refresh operation
As a measure to prevent entering the drum refresh control too often,
the condition is changed as follows.
When coming out of sleep mode, the drum refresh operation
will not be performed within 180 minutes of the time after
entering the sleep mode last time. (Except when quiet mode
is ON, it will be 120 minutes.)
Changing the T7 mode
condition
(Measure for the light
density image with a Legal
size output)
When outputting the Legal size paper, the light density mage may
occur. As a corrective measure, the paper count method for T7
control with the Legal size output is changed to double-count.
(This change will also apply to A5R/A6R size.)
Measure for the stain on
the rear side of coated
paper
Secondary transfer roller cleaning operation is changed as a
preventative measure for the stain on the rear side of coated paper
when printing in half-speed or -speed mode.
When using the media type that is coated paper and more
than Heavy1, the positive bias application time is increased
to 4 rotations of secondary transfer roller during the Roller
cleaning operation that is performed at the beginning of print
operation.
Measure for the grainy
image
(Only available for Custom
6 or 7 setting)

Effective only in color mode
Graininess may appear on the initial print images (several prints) due
to excessive heat supply. As a preventative measure, modifications
have been carried out as follows.
Preventing the Belt temperature overshoot at the start of
printing.
Fuser control temperature adjustment at the start of printing.
These will be enabled when Normal 2 or Normal 3 is selected for the
`media type setting Custom 6 or Custom 7 respectively.
Measure for CF349 when
using the Hypas
application
When logging in with the Hypas application, a CF349 error may
trigger. This has been corrected.



Model Change/Modification Details
DF-790 Preventing the staple from
coming off when stapled at
one point
When a few pages are stapled of A4R/Letter R paper at one point,
the paper deflection may increase with the movement of
registration cursors. As a result, the edge of the paper may come
in contact with the part in the machine, causing the staple to come
off or a paper jam to occur. This has been corrected.
DF-790 Preventing the paper
deflection mark
Deflection mark may appear at the trailing edge of paper under the
following conditions. This has been corrected.
- Paper exit onto Tray A
- Punch mode on
- 2 or more pages
DF-770 Measure to prevent a C8160
error from triggering when
the DF Cover is open after
the power is ON
The C8160 error may be detected if you open the DF Cover at a
certain timing after turning the power ON. This has been corrected.
PH-7A/B/
C/D
Measure for a C8210 error
or a punch failure
Due to the punch operation during continuous output, the punch
motor temperature may increase and the overrun amount of pulse
plate may become excessive, preventing the normal reverse
rotation. As a result, a C8210 error or a punch failure may occur.
PF-740
PF-730
PF-780
Eliminating the conveying
sensor vibration between
pages
The Sensor vibrates during paper transport between pages. This
has been addressed.
