while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically
driven components.
OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS
The UC5E must be installed and maintained by a customer service representative who has
completed the training course on those models.
SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL
Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.

2.2 SPECIFICATIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS OF I/O PORT
The ZipRip UC5E Controller supports connection to a computer for printing
from the following port: • Parallel Port (IEEE 128 , ECP/EPP Bi directional)
2.2.1 PARALLEL MINI CENTRONICS INPUT PORT
2.2.1.1 DESCRIPTION
The high performance parallel input/output port on the UC5E utilizes the IEEE 1284 –
1994 design, for high speed communication between the computer and UC5E. Be sure to
use a cable conforming to this design standard to realize the full data speed benefit from
this interface.
2.2.1.2 IEEE 1284 PARALLEL PORT CHARACTERISTICS
Maximum data speed: 2 MBytes/sec.
Maximum cable length: 1 metre (3.5 feet).
Chassis connector type: IEEE 1284 Type B (Centronics).
Design standard: IEEE 1284 – 1994 .
To use this interface at the highest data rate, the parallel port (e.g., LPT1:) on the user’s
computer must be configured as an ECP or ECP/EPP (not EPP) Printer Port.

4. OPERATION VERIFICATION
Operation verification of the UC5E consists of using the UC5E with a computer and a
PRIPORT to verify that all I/O ports function properly.
4.1 TOOLS
The following items are needed to perform an operational verification of the UC5E.
1) A Priport
2) A UC5E and all items parts
3) A PC running any of the specified operating systems listed in 1.1. of this manual.
4.2 TESTS
Verification of correct operation of all ports and status lights verifies that the UC5E is
operating normally. Refer to Activity Indicator in the Installation manual.
4.2.1PRELIMINARY VERIFICATION OF PRIPORT AND VIDEO INTERFACE
OPERATION
1) Verify that the following parts are properly connected:
a) I/F Board to the Priport Main Board (IPU Board), Model C237 only
b) Shielded Cable to the I/F Board, Model C237 only
c) All other parts of the I/F Kit. Model C237 only
2) Turn the Priport on and, while it is offline (i.e., Online OFF is selected), verify
that,
a) It can produce a good master from a scanned original, and
b) It can print from the master made of the scanned original.
3) Enable the “Online Mode” while the Priport is in the SP MODE, and verify
that the
a) The Online LED illuminates when the Online Key is pressed, and
b) No error is displayed on LCD of Priport. If so, recover from the error.
4.2.2PROCEDURE TO VERIFY UC5E POWER ON SEQUENCE AND PRIPORT
INTERFACE
1) This verification can only be done once installation is complete.
2) Put the Priport ONLINE.
3) Wait while the UC5E conducts its turn on self diagnostic test (takes about
6 seconds.)
4) Check the UC5E LED status lights:
a) The right red light stays on when the power on switch is processed.
