Introduction
The following rules apply throughout this Service Manual:
1. Each chapter contains sections explaining the purpose of specific functions and the relationship between electrical and mechanical systems with refer-
ence to the timing of operation.
In the diagrams, represents the path of mechanical drive; where a signal name accompanies
the symbol , the arrow indicates the direction of the electric signal.
The expression "turn on the power" means flipping on the power switch, closing the front door, and
closing the delivery unit door, which results in supplying the machine with power.
2. In the digital circuits, '1'is used to indicate that the voltage level of a given signal is "High", while '0' is used to indicate "Low".(The voltage value, how-
ever, differs from circuit to circuit.) In addition, the asterisk (*) as in "DRMD*" indicates that the DRMD signal goes on when '0'.
In practically all cases, the internal mechanisms of a microprocessor cannot be checked in the field.
Therefore, the operations of the microprocessors used in the machines are not discussed: they are
explained in terms of from sensors to the input of the DC controller PCB and from the output of the
DC controller PCB to the loads.
The descriptions in this Service Manual are subject to change without notice for product improvement
or other purposes, and major changes will be communicated in the form of Service Information bulle-
tins.
All service persons are expected to have a good understanding of the contents of this Service Manual
and all relevant Service Information bulletins and be able to identify and isolate faults in the machine."

1.1 Specifications
1.1.1 UFR II Printer Driver 0010-7471
The UFR II assigns print processing loads to the print driver and the print controller for high-speed, low-
cost outputs.
Advantages
- While the features are enhanced, the memory usage can be saved supporting both page and band descrip-
tions.
- Balancing the data processing loads of the driver and controller allows high-speed outputs.
T-1-1
Supported operating systems T-1-2
The UFR II print driver requires 5.0 mm of the top, bottom, left, and right margins.
-Even if Print with Upper Left of Sheet as Starting Point option is selected, marginal areas of the data for
a page are missing in some print results. To solve this problem, adjust the scaling so that the data fit into
the printable area and print the data again.

Paper Size: T-1-5
Area-Specific Paper Sizes:
In addition to default paper sizes (A4/LTR) and user-defined paper sizes, the printer driver supports area-
specific paper sizes (e.g., Officio), and it handles these area-specific paper sizes as user-defined paper siz-
es, requiring the user to register them in advance of use. To do so, see the instructions on registering user-
defined paper sizes for individual operating systems.
When an area-specific paper size is manually set up under [Form to Tray Assignment] of the driver UI, or
if the size obtained by running dynamic configuration happens to be an area-specific paper size, the driver
operates in the corresponding mode. After performing all associated internal operations, the driver runs a
check of area-specific paper sizes stored as user defined paper sizes, and handles any matching paper as a
default paper size (special paper ID) instead of as a user-defined paper size. Moreover, the driver permits
registration of multiple area-specific paper sizes, treating them as a separate paper group. The driver UI
handles them using specifications designed for LTR paper, permitting the use of finisher functions, which
were previously offered for user-defined paper sizes (except the use of the middle binding function). Al-
though it will permit all settings, the printer unit may ignore some of the settings. (The printer driver will
simply ignore them, not issuing conflicts.)

2.1 Basic Function
2.1.1 Canon Driver Information Assist Service (DIAS) 0011-3456
This is a subset version of the Netspot Suite Service, supporting Driver only: we have selected Driver's
functions (mainly, the functions to acquire Device configuration information) and redesigned them. The
DIAS has the following functions:
- To acquire Device configuration information (acquisition when setting up Printer Property.)
- To acquire calibration information (acquisition when setting up Printer Property and printing by the color
LBP, Color iR, and etc.)
- To make recognition in department-control printing (communication when setting up Printer Property or
when making a department-control print)
Main structure of DIAS
DIAS (DLL): It is a module loaded on Driver
DIAS (Service): It does a service of installation on printer server when using a shared printer (resident
process)
CBT: It is a module group to control a local port, such as Centronics Cable or USB
H-VDC: It is a module group which are needed for the driver function in DIAS.
Characteristics of DIAS
- Local printer can acquire the configuration information in DIAS (DLL) only.
Local printer means a printer that is "Peer to Peer" connected with Local PC via LPR/IPP/Centronics Ca-
ble/USB and that Spooler (Print queue) appears on the Local PC.
- Shared printer needs to have DIAS (Service) installed on printer server.
The installation of DIAS (Service) must be done via Driver installer.
Shared printer means a printer whose Spooler (Print queue) appears on the printer server (Remote PC).
- However, in some cases, DIAS (Service) needs to be installed for Local Port connection. (See "Help" >
"Troubleshoot the acquisition of configuration information".
1, WinNT4.0 OS Family (All)/ At the time of Local Port connection (LPT)
2, Win2k Server OS Family (Except Professional)/At the time of Local Port connection (LPT/USB) and
Terminal Service introduction
3, WinXP Home/Professional Edition/ServerOS 2003 Family (X86:All)/ At the time of Local Port con-
nection (LPT/USB) and Terminal Service introduction
About the version indication
The same Driver version indication as the one via Netspot Suite Service appears only when communicat-
ing with Device via DIAS (Service) (i.e., when connected through a shared printer).
Compatibility of DIAS and Netspot Suite Service
DIAS and Netspot Suite Service are compatible and independent. Driver supporting DIAS does not use
Netspot Suite Service even if it is installed.
Cautions when using DIAS
CBT controls all access to Local Port; both DIAS (DLL/Service) and NetSpot Suite Service use CBT to
access Local Port from the same PC.
CBT was installed only on Netspot Suite Service before; it is automatically uninstalled in response to un-
installing the existing NetSpot Suite Service. Follow the procedures below when uninstalling the former
versions of NetSpot Suite Service v3.40 and when uninstalling JobMonitor v4.20 and former.
- Reinstall DIAS after the uninstallation is complete. (Reinstallation of DIAS is enabled via Installer.)
- Update NetSpot Suite Service to the latest version (v3.40 and later).
Former versions of NetSpot Suite Service v3.40
PS Printer Driver v2.10 and former
PCL5e Printer Driver v6.11 and former
PCL5c Printer Driver v6.11 and former

2.1.2 FTP Printing 0011-3457
This device provides a FTP server for receiving print data. The device can accept print jobs sent in FTP
from client PCs. This is called FTP printing, a new feature first employed on iRC 6800. To use this fea-
ture, the FTP Print option must be selected. It is selected by default. You can access the option by pressing
Ad Func, System Settings, Network Settings, TCP/IP Settings, and FTP Print Settings buttons. In FTP
Print Settings screen, only one pair of a user name and password can be entered for the user who can log
in to the FTP server. No settings are made for both of the fields by default.

Commands
The FTP server complies with the RFC 959 -- File Transfer Protocol -- but provides only printing function.
Thus the server does not support other functions required as a RFC 959 compliant server. The commands
available for the FTP client are "user," "password," "bin," "put," "bye," "hash," and "help." There is no
use of other commands since the server does not provide functions other than printing. The following lists
the notes to use the commands.
- To send print data with the command "put," set the mode to the binary mode using the command "bin."
In the ascii mode, the data cannot be sent with the command "put."
- If the user and password fields are blank, any user with any password can log in. If the user name "anon-
ymous" is used, any character string can be entered as the password. The device displays the string in User
filed of Log screen.

- This function is featured mainly to print prn files output from PDL drivers. The device processes text
files and the like as it receives data in LPR (and does not properly print depending on settings.) The device
of PostScript-compatible model can print PDF files, compatible with PDF V1.3.
The following shows a command specification example, which you will connect the device of the IP ad-
dress "172.16.181.131" in FTP with the user name "test" and the password "test" and print the file
"test.prn" in the root directory of the drive C on the client PC.

Number of Connections and Used Ports
The maximum number of concurrent connections is three. If a user attempts to connect to the FTP server
with which three connections have been established, the user cannot log in and fails in connection. The
default port for the FTP server is 21. There is no measure provided to change the port.
The control port time-out is set to 300 seconds. You need to re-connect to the server if you have left the
connection for 300 seconds or more after logging in. The data port time-out is 60 minutes. If a data trans-
mission takes more than 60 minutes, the connection is automatically disconnected.

Only for monochrome PS printers, it will be possible to specify the halftone screen frequency and angle.
For that, in the "Halftone Settings" section in the "Quality" tab, the "Custom" radio button and the "Set-
tings" buttonwill be provided.
The "Settings" button will be disabled by default and will be enabled by selecting the "Custom" radio but-
ton.
Clicking the "Settings" button will open the "Custom Settings" dialog to set the halftone screen frequency
and angle.
The "Frequency" spin box will default to a value of 71.0 and will accept a value between 40.0 and 150.0.
The "Angle" spin box will default to a value of 45.0 and will accept a value between 0.0 and 90.0.
2.1.4 Secured Print Jobs 0011-3459
Overview:
Secured Print is the function that a password is provided to the PDL(UFR II and PCL) print job and it is
sent to the device. Then, it is rasterized on the device side, saved in the image server and output by entering
the password from the device's panel. This function is used when dealing with the documents which you
do not want other people to see, such as confidential documents.
a) Password is provided.
In order to conduct the Secured Print, the printer driver requires the user to enter the password from GUI.
This password is provided to the print job and it is sent to the device. This function can be conducted by
using CPCA protocol(UFR II and PCL).
b) Job execution and pending
PDL print job sent to the device as the Secured Print job is compiled on the job queue like the normal PDL
print job. Then, it is rasterized by PDL interpreter, saved in the image server as the document image file
and becomes pending here. However, all job information, such as paper supply/output, the number of cop-
ies and finishing information remains.
