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."

This kit consists of:
[1] License Access Number Certificate Sheet 1pc.
[2] Reference Guide 1pc.
[3] Caution sheet for Users 1pc.
[4] License Registration Booklet 1pc.
Memo:
Using this kit, you can get a license key from the License Management System (LMS)
and register it in an iR/imageRUNNER to activate the specific feature included in the
System Software.
Note:What's LMS?
A license server system to activate software options of iRs/imageRUNNERs, provided by
Canon Inc. Collectively manages options in the form of licenses and protects copy rights
of optional products. The options are activated with license keys being different from
conventional activation measures that use dongles and PCs. Whereas the details of its
management differ among countries and regions, it is designed assuming the users access it
and activate licenses by themselves respectively. Per optional product, the license access
number certificate sheet is supplied. Per license access number, a user can get a license key
and activate the feature on an iR/imageRUNNER. To get a license key, a user accesses the
Web server of the LMS.
URL for LMS:
http://www.canon.com/lms/ir/
When a user enters the license access number and the serial number for an iR/
imageRUNNER in the LMS, 24-digit figure of a license key is generated. The license key
includes the information of serial number for the iR/imageRUNNER so that the key cannot
be used for iRs/imageRUNNERs. Once the option is activated, the option information is

saved as the backup in the iR/imageRUNNER. Parts replacement will not deactivate the
feature.
The staff in each regional headquarters can access the administrator's pages of the LMS.
They can view the license number issued for each iR/imageRUNNER and can reissue the
license. The procedures are the same as the license management system for MEAP except
for the point the license key is used instead of the license file.
Transfer of a License
An optional function that has been enabled by the LMS may be used on a different device
by transferring its license, as when the original iR device needs to be replaced, say at the
end of its lease arrangement. Specifically, individual licenses registered for optional
functions must first be invalidated in user mode before transfer may take place. Doing so
will invalidate the optional functions on the source iR device and, at the same time, proof
of invalidation will be generated within the device in the form of an invalidation license key.
The user may then communicate the indicated invalidation license key, the serial number of
the original iR device, and the serial number of the new iR device to the Sales Company,
which in turn may issue a new license key for the new iR device. The user now may register
the new license key to the new iR device in user mode, thereby enabling the optional
function on the new iR device. For details of transferring a license in service mode, see the
descriptions of service mode that come later.
Notes:
Security kit requires that a license key is obtained/registered, and optional PCI bus
extension kit, security extension board (USB) and 256MB extension RAM are installed.
If these options are not installed, "There are not enough required features for install." is
displayed at the license registration, and this function cannot be enabled.

1.2 Specifications
1.2.1 Overview 0008-5635
This kit is an option to add the security function which is enabled by the license.
Characteristics:
- Since the security extension board and increasing memory are required, this kit is
installed by the service man.
- HDD data can be protected, and Job Log can be not displayed.
- Encryption processing is conducted by the encryption accelerator, so there is not much
influence on the machine performance.
- The security is secured since there is no method to take the key for encryption to the
outside of HDD.
- When the data needs to be deleted at the damage on the device, the user can regenerate
the encryption key, so that the data can be deleted easily.
For details of installation procedures, please refer to Installation procedure.
Protection of HDD data
Device's HDD records temporally image data like scanned images and PDL data, etc. at any
time. Also, the image data is always saved in the user box, FAX box, etc. If the user
information like the image data is stolen by extracting HDD, the original data can be
recovered easily by directly accessing and analyzing with Disk Editor, etc. For the security,
HDD encryption and full initialization of the HDD are used.
HDD encryption
Regarding the HDD dealing with images and PDL data, the information is written by
encrypting, and it is read by decoding. Therefore, information within the HDD is always
encrypted. Even when the HDD is stolen, recovering the data is too hard. For details,
refer to New Functions in the later chapter.
Full initialization of the HDD
When the data which is recorded temporality (e.g. images and PDL data) is not necessary,
0 data or random data is overwritten in the areas where the data exists. By doing so,
recovering the original data is too hard. For details, refer to New Functions in the later
chapter.
