• When connecting or disconnecting the power cord:
–Only use the power cord that shipped with the EB-1357 or an appropriate replacement
power cord available from an authorized provider.
–Always disconnect the power cord from the EB-1357 back panel before opening the
unit and servicing internal components.
–Do not pull on the power cord when unplugging the EB-1357. Pull the plug instead.
–Do not place objects on the power cord. Place the power cord away from foot traffic.
–Do not tamper with or disable the power cord grounding plug.
–Do not use a 3-prong adapter in a 2-hole ungrounded outlet.
–Do not use an extension cord.
–Do not plug the EB-1357 into a circuit with heating or refrigeration equipment
(including water dispensers).
–Do not plug the EB-1357 into a switchable power outlet. This can result in the
EB-1357 being turned off accidentally.
• Never set any liquid on or near the EB-1357 or copier. If liquid is spilled into the EB-1357 or
copier, disconnect the power cord immediately.
• Do not attempt to open the power supply, DVD drive, or HDD.
• Handle the EB-1357 LCD window with care.
If the EB-1357 LCD window breaks and the liquid crystal inside leaks out, avoid contact with
it. If you come in contact with the liquid crystal, wash it off your skin with soap and water
immediately.

PREFACE 15
• Use care when handling parts of the EB-1357, as some edges on the unit may be sharp.
• Do not install third-party applications onto the EB-1357. Third-party applications are not
supported and can cause system problems. Although virus scans are permitted on the
EB-1357, virus-protection software should not be loaded in memory-resident mode.
• Do not change the Windows XPe preference settings.
Depending on the changes made, the EB-1357 may become unstable or even unusable. If this
occurs, we recommend that you reinstall the EB-1357 System Software, which reliably
restores the Windows XPe system to its factory defaults.
• Never alter an existing network without permission.
The EB-1357 will probably be connected to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) based on
Ethernet hardware. The network is the link between the customer’s computer, existing laser
printers, and other prepress equipment. Never disturb the LAN by breaking or making a
network connection, altering termination, installing or removing networking hardware or
software, or shutting down networked devices without the knowledge and explicit permission
of the system or network administrator or the shop supervisor.
• Unless you are the network administrator, never assign an IP address in EB-1357 Network
Setup.
In a DHCP environment, the system assigns the IP address automatically. In a non-DHCP
environment, you should enter only the IP address that has been assigned by the network
administrator. Only the network administrator should assign an IP address to a network
device. Assigning the EB-1357 an incorrect IP address may cause unpredictable errors on any
or all devices connected to the network.

PREFACE 16
Creating an ESD safe environment
• Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions while working on the internal
components of the EB-1357.
Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area
around the copier and the EB-1357 is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes, synthetic
clothing fibers, silks, and plastics may generate a static charge of more than 10,000 volts.
Static discharge is capable of destroying the circuits etched in silicon microchips, or
dramatically shortening their life span. By observing standard precautions, you may avoid
extra service calls and save the cost of a new board.
When possible, work on a ground-connected antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic grounding
strap, grounded at the same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible, do the
following:
• Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.
• When you unpack the EB-1357 from the carton for the first time, touch a metal area of
the copier to discharge the static on your body.
• Before you remove any of the EB-1357 panels and handle internal components, touch a
metal part of the EB-1357.
• Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to install
them. When you remove components from an antistatic bag, place them on a grounded
antistatic surface, component-side up.
• When you remove an electronic component, place it in an antistatic bag immediately. Do
not walk across a carpet or vinyl floor while carrying an unprotected board.
• During service to the motherboard, avoid using excessive force and always place the
motherboard on a grounded, nonmetallic, static-free surface. Never allow any metal to
touch the solder contacts on the underside of the motherboard, especially beneath the
battery socket. Improper handling can short-circuit and permanently damage the
motherboard.
• Handle printed circuit boards by their opposing edges only and avoid touching the contacts
on the edge of the board.

INTRODUCTION 20
How the EB-1357 operates
The EB-1357 enables the customer to use the copier as a high-performance, networked
PostScript printer and scanner. Users at the customer site can print to the EB-1357 from
networked Windows computers, Mac OS computers, and networked UNIX workstations
running TCP/IP.
The EB-1357 custom-designed boards and system software provide efficient image processing
and printing controls. The main functions of EB-1357 components and software are
described in the following paragraphs.
The EB-1357 uses the motherboard and a custom video board to process image data for
printing and scanning images.
The motherboard includes an Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 2.0GHz CPU that controls
the image data transfer to and from the motherboard and runs the interpreter. The interpreter
rasterizes the page description file and compresses the image pattern into memory using
compression technology.
The interpreter outputs compressed raster data through the image frame buffer memory to
the EB-1357 video board. The video board decompresses the image data and sends it to the
copier through a crossover copier interface cable connected to the upper RJ-45 on the
EB-1357 back panel. The raster data is supplied to the copier, which then renders the final
image on paper at full rated engine speed.
Two 1GB high-speed DIMM (dual in-line memory modules) on the motherboard hold the
image data during printing, providing a total of 2GB of memory.
Three external USB ports provide connectivity to a variety of USB devices, such as an
optional keyboard, mouse, as well as dongles enabling optional features.
When Fiery Scan uses the copier as a scanner, the EB-1357 acquires image data from the
copier, stores it in memory, and transmits it to the computer that requested the scan.
