Notes to service personnel
Be sure to read this manual carefully to gain a thorough understanding of the correct procedures before servicing the
machine.
When some of the mounting screws are used in the angle brackets that secure parts of the machine to the packing materials,
they are meant to be re-used when assembling the machine. All screws that are meant to be re-used in this way are described
in the manual.
Any screws that are not designated for re-use in the manual are not necessary for assembly. There is no need to replace the
screws used in the packing materials mentioned in this manual after you have removed them.
The printer processor may use tapping truss head screws, spike truss head screws and washer head screws.
When attaching the screws once removed, make sure they are on their original positions.
These screws are used for the place where grounding is required.

Precautions for handling the optical fiber cable and LVDS
cable
The machine has sections in which the optical fiber cables and the LVDS cables are used.
Before handling the optical fiber cable and the LVDS cable, be sure to read the following precautions thoroughly, then start
work properly.
Precautions when handling the optical fiber cable
• Do not bend the optical fiber cable by R25 mm or less. The cable may break. Wire the cable with a bending radius of at
least R50 mm. When wiring the cable, do not use force. Do not secure the cable forcibly with mini-bands or clamps.
• When the optical fiber cable is to be removed from the PCB, pull the cable straight out while pressing part A in the
direction indicated by the arrow. When the cable is to be connected, push it straight as far as it will go.
IMPORTANT
• If pulling the optical fiber cable out forcibly without pressing part A, the sheath of the cable is broken and
a part of the sheath remains in the connector, resulting in the communication error.
NOTE
• Use the optical fiber cable pushing bar to pull it out when it is hard to reach part A.
The optical fiber cable pushing bar is a service personnel tool.
• Since the optical fiber cable is provided with IN side and OUT side, be careful to connect them correctly. If part A of the
connector on the PCB is white, the cable end should indicate OUT. If part A is black, the cable end should indicate IN.
The OUT cable end is marked using a white tape. There is no marking on the IN cable end.

IN
• If the optical fiber cable is damaged, it cannot be reused even after the damaged part has been cut off. A communication
error occurs.
• Do not place an excessive load on the optical fiber cable or let a hard or heavy object fall on it.
• Do not damage the sheath of the optical fiber cable. A dent or flaw on the sheath, however small, means the optical fiber
cable cannot be used.
• Never touch the end face of the optical fiber cable with bare hands. Communication will not be possible if oil or dust
adheres to the cable end, or if the cable end is scratched.
• The connector guard unit must be inserted into an unused connector for the optical fiber cable. This prevents dust from
entering inside the connector. And also prevents malfunction due to outside light.
Precautions when handling the LVDS cable
• Do not bend the LVDS cable by radius 20 mm or less. The cable may break. Wire the cable with a bending radius of at
least R50 mm. When inserting, removing, attaching the ferrite core, or wiring the cable, do not use force.
No marking on the cable

1.1 Place for installation
!
!!
!Mass applied to a jack bolt or a castor
The mass applied to each jackbolt/castor in the printer, paper processor, and desk (including scanner) is listed below.
Printer section (LP-1700)
Approx. 72 kg
Paper processor section
Desk (CS-1) +Scanner (S-2/S-3/S-4)
Approx. 35.8 kg (for S-2/S-3)
Approx. 34.9 kg (for S-4)
!
!!
!Floor condition for installation
• The floor should have strength which the usual vibration, such as walking a person or opening/closing a door, is not
affected to the machine.
As a guide, the strength is the extent to which a standing person on the floor does not feel a vibration when a 20-litter
plastic tank which contains 10 litters of water is fallen at intervals of 20 to 30 cm from the person.
If this condition is satisfied, the floor made of concrete or linoleum, or on which thin carpet or plastic tiles are spread is
okay.
However, the floor made of wood and under which is hollow, or on which thick carpet is spread is not suitable.
• The floor is even and no vibration is given to the machine. Vibration should be 3 m/s2(0.3 G) or less in each
direction on the installation place.
!
!!
!Power requirement for installation
• Make sure that the power supply for ground resistence of 100 Ωor less is prepared.
1.2 Countermeasure for the static electricity when replacing and
maintaining the electrical parts
If an electronically charged human body touches electronic parts like PCBs, it may adversely affect the electronic parts.
When handling the electronic parts, be sure to use static-dissipative tools to prevent the electrical parts from being damaged
due to static electricity.
Also use the static-dissipative tools for maintenance of the digital units or engines.
Static-dissipative tool
• When using the static-dissipative tool, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker of the unit and the main power
supply, and wait 10 seconds or more to carry out operation.

Service Kit
Use this kit when replacing or installing/removing the electronic parts from the
