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 reference 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, however, 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 bulletins.
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."

2.1 New Function
2.1.1 Security Function 0003-4462
When the kit is installed and the printer unit's Security function is enabled, the following 2 functions (selectable
items) will be added to the system control settings ([system settings]) in use mode:
- enable/disable full initialization of hard disk
- enable/disable display of job histories
To have these items indicated in user mode, you need to make the appropriate settings in service mode. (In the case
of the following, Level 2 settings: iR C3100/C3100F/C3100N/C100i, C3200/C3200S/C3200N, S3200, CLC3200,
imageRUNNER C3200.)
2.1.2 Enabling/Disabling Full Initialization of the Hard Disk 0003-4465
<Function>
You can specify whether or not to cause full initialization of the hard disk at such specific timing as files are deleted
(i.e., control info data is deleted) by writing 0s or random data in file data areas.
The data deleted fully this way will be stored files (i.e., files in Boxes) and temporary files (copy files, not visible
from outside but nevertheless stored inside). Files stored temporarily as PDL data (e.g., Network PDL Spool) will
also be deleted.
Use service mode to decide how deletion should occur; whether or not all data on the HDD will be deleted will
depend on how user mode settings are made.
<User Mode Item>
Ad Func>System Settings>Hard Disk Data Complete Erase
off:do not execute full initialization of HDD (default)
on:execute full initialization of HDD
<Service(2) Mode Item>
COPIER>OPTION>USER>HDCR-DSP
0:disable display in user mode/do not delete data (default)
1:enable display in user mode/write0data once
2:enable display in user mode/write random data once
3:enable display in user mode/wire random data 3 times
Select any of the foregoing 3 settings.
<Memo>
The higher the setting, the higher the level of security for the data on the hard disk. It is important to keep in mind,
however, that since processing will take place in real time as part of ongoing job execution, the machine performance

will drop. This function operates only in real time, and does not permit execution in a batch by allowing selection of
a range of deletion times of execution.
2.1.3 Enabling/Disabling Display of Job Histories 0003-4478
<Function>
You can disable the display of logs (histories) stored by the machine. It affects not only the local UI but also the
remote UI. It is important to keep in mind that log collection (job account log/fax communication log) otherwise
possible with a specific Canon application will no longer be available, as there will be no response to a command for
data collection. (Data in the form of a jam log, error log, and alarm log, however, will be available for collection.)
If the setting of the user mode item explained later is disabled, the display of the following will be disabled:
- System Monitor>copy>Log
- System Monitor>Send>Log
- System Monitor>Fax>Log
- System Monitor>Print>Log
- System Monitor>Receive>Activiy Report(RX)
- Ad Func>Report Settings>Settings>Send>Activity Report
- Ad Func>Report Settings>Settings>Fax>Fax Activity Report
As needed, change the following settings:
- Ad Func>Report Settings>Settings:Send>Activity Report:Auot Print=off,Daily Activity Report
Time=off
- Ad Func>Report Settings>Settings:Fax>Fax Activity Report:Auot Print=off,Daily Activity Report
Time=off
Whether or not the job histories will be displayed depends on whether the function is enabled or disabled in user
mode.
<user Mode Items>
Ad Func>System Settings>Job Log Display=on/off
on:enable display of user history (default)
off:disable display of user history
<Service(2) Mode Item>
COPIER>Option>USER>LGSW-DSP
0:disable display in user mode (default)
1:enable display in user mode
Change the setting from 0 to 1 will cause the selection displayed in user mode.
