Š 1: Enable (default)
Š Note: For other models such as AP/AT-C2.5 or DI-C1.5, the
default of this SP is 0 because media print is an option for
these machines.
Š The SD card must be formatted with FAT16 or FAT32
(media formatted with NTFS is not supported)
‰ Supported Media
Š USB formatted to FAT16 or FAT32
Š SD card formatted to FAT16 or FAT32
Š Note: Media formatted to NTFS (other than FAT16 or
FAT32) is not supported.
‰ Supported File Formats
Š PDF (including High compression PDF and Encrypted PDF)
Š JPEG
Š TIFF

Slide 14

ˆ SP1-110-001 is set to “1” by default because the media print function is


standard. On some earlier machines (examples: AP/AtC2.5, DI-C1.5) it was an
option.

User Account Limiting (Quota Setting)


‰ This function allows the customer to
set limits on the number of outputs
for each individual user or group.
‰ The following applications can be
managed with this function.
Š Copy
Š Print (including “Print from
USB/SD”)
Š Document Server
Š SDK
Š Fax related jobs and “Mail to Print”
jobs can’t be limited.
‰ User authentication must be enabled.
‰ Possible Settings
Š Stop Job: When the maximum print
volume is reached, both the
current job and waiting jobs are
canceled.
Š Finish Job and Limit: When the
maximum print volume is reached,
the current job is allowed to finish,
but waiting jobs are canceled.
Š Allow Continue Use (Default
setting): Print volume is not limited.

Slide 15

ˆ By being able to manage and set limits on the number of outputs, the
administrator will be able to understand the usage of each individual and/or
group and to reduce the level of unnecessary output. This can reduce TCO and
reduce environmental impact.

Safe Shutdown
‰ In this machine, a power relay drive circuit protects the HDD unit.
‰ After the main power switch of the machine has been turned off,
the relay drive circuit keeps the power supply to the controller
until the HDD unit has been shutdown safely.
‰ When shutting down from normal stand-by mode, and the safe
shutdown takes more than 2 minutes, there is a problem with the
controller board. It may be necessary to replace this board.

Safe Shutdown Circuit

‰ This diagram shows the safe shutdown circuit.


(More details in notes below.)

Slide 17

ˆ After the AC switch is turned on, the relay turns on at about the same time that
the software starts up.
ˆ When the AC switch is turned off, the controller detects the change in the state
of the ACSWON_N signal.
ˆ The controller shuts down the hard disk drive in a safe manner.
ˆ Then the controller sends a signal (REON_DC_N) to turn off the relay.

Security & Encryption Unit


Background
‰ Until now, HDD encryption and data overwrite security
have been options for MFPs.
‰ However, in response to the following, it was decided
to make these options standard on MFPs.
Š On 19th May, I sent an e-mail to you regarding the
news report by CBS in US about the risk of information
leakage from hard drive on MFP. After that, RCL have
been studying what actions should we take for the
news report. Now I would like to give you the Ricoh's
direction of the actions as below for you to follow.

Action
‰ Objectives
Š To let customers use Ricoh MFPs/Printers
without security concerns caused by information
leakage from the hard drives of their products.
Through these actions, we hope to increase
customer retention and product competitiveness,
and avoid unnecessary legal challenges from
customers.
‰ Action Plan
Š To standardize the Data Overwrite Security
feature and the HDD Encryption feature on all
future MFPs/Printers.

Security & Encryption Unit


Installation

‰ If you are installing a new machine, it is recommended to activate


the Security Unit by selecting "Format All Data".
‰ Note: This method is recommended because there is no user data on
the hard drive yet (Address Book data, image data, etc.).
‰ If the customer wishes to activate the Security Unit on a machine
that is already running, it is recommended to activate the unit by
selecting "All Data".
‰ IMPORTANT: Selecting "All Data" will preserve the data that has
already been saved to the hard drive. (If "Format All Data" is selected,
all user data saved to the hard drive up to that point will be erased).

(X): Not defective parts but must be replaced
ˆ If the SD card is replaced, the NVRAM must be replaced.
ˆ If the NVRAM is replaced, the SD card must be replaced.
Cases 1 to 4:
ˆ The HDD is replaced so the old data is gone. The SD card is new, so a new
encryption key is made. After you replace the parts, the user must enable
encryption. The controller then makes a new encryption key. Then the machine
prints the new encryption key.
Cases 5 and 6:
ˆ The NVRAM is defective, so the encryption key cannot be restored, so the data
on the HDD cannot be recovered. The HDD is formatted automatically.
ˆ After you replace the parts, the user must enable encryption. The controller then
makes a new encryption key. Then the machine prints the new encryption key.
Cases 7 and 8:
ˆ The HDD is not defective but the data is encrypted, and there is no link between
the HDD and the new controller, so the old encryption key must be restored to
decrypt the data before the new encryption key is made. The NVRAM is normal,
so the old encryption key can be restored (in cases 5 and 6, the NVRAM is
defective so the old encryption key cannot be restored).
ˆ After you restore the old encryption key (and replace the SD card and NVRAM in
case 7), turn the machine power on. The user must then enable encryption. The
controller then makes a new encryption key and encrypts the data on the HDD.
Then the machine prints the new encryption key.
Cases 9 to 15
ˆ The controller is not replaced, but there is no link between the old controller and
the new parts, so the old encryption key must be restored, in the same way as
for cases 7 and 8, before the user enables encryption and a new key is made.

39
SH-MF1 Training

Security & Encryption Unit


Troubleshooting
‰ Restoring the encryption key
1. Prepare an SD card which is initialized.
2. Make the "restore_key"folder in the SD card.
3. Make an "nvram_key.txt"file in the "restore_key“ folder in
the SD card.
4. Ask an administrator to input the encryption key (this has
been printed out earlier by the user into the
"nvram_key.txt"file.
5. Turn on the main power switch.
6. Confirm that the prompt on the LCD tells you to install the
SD card (storing the encryption key) in the machine.
7. Turn off the main power switch.
8. Insert the SD card that contains the encryption key into slot
2.
9. Turn on the main power switch, and the machine
automatically restores the encryption key in the flash
memory on the controller board.
10.Turn off the main power switch after the machine has
returned to normal status.
11.Remove the SD card from slot 2.

Slide 40

ˆ The previous slide says that we have to restore the old encryption key
sometimes. This slide shows the procedure.
ˆ This procedure was in the AP-C2 service manual but was omitted from the
AP/AT-C2.5 and Z-C1 manuals.

Slide 60

ˆ The illustration shows the basic printing/copying processes.


¾ Paper registration: The registration roller controls the paper feed timing to
make sure that the image transfers to the correct location on the paper. It
also removes skew.
¾ Drum charge: The charge rollers give the drum a negative charge
¾ Laser exposure: To make a latent image on the drum, the machine turns
the laser beam on and off.
¾ Development: The development roller moves toner to the drum where the
toner is attracted to the latent image on the drum surface.
¾ Image transfer: The charge that is applied to the image transfer roller pulls
the toner from the drum to the paper.
¾ Separation: The paper separates from the drum. The discharge plate
immediately after the transfer roller helps to remove the paper from the
drum.
¾ Cleaning: The cleaning blade removes any toner remaining on the drum
surface after the image transfers to the paper.

¾ The first scanner contains the exposure lamp, reflectors, the 1st mirror, and
the lamp regulator. The second scanner contains the 2nd and 3rd mirrors.
¾ The regulator is mounted on the scanner to reduce the wiring between the
lamp and the regulator.
¾ The second scanner moves at half the speed of the first scanner. This is to
maintain the focal distance between lens and original.
¾ In reduction or enlargement mode, the scanning speed depends on the
magnification ratio. The returning speed is always the same, whether in full
size or magnification mode. The image length change in the sub scan
direction is done by changing the scanner motor speed. In the main scan
direction it is done by image processing on the BCU board.
¾ You can adjust the magnification in the sub-scan direction by changing the
scanner motor speed with SP4-008.
ˆ In this machine, wires are used instead of timing belts. These are more difficult
to replace, but copy quality is better (less jitter).
ˆ Note that the operation in ADF mode is different from platen mode.
¾ In ADF mode, the scanner goes to home position (detected by the home
position sensor), and stays there during scanning.
¾ The ARDF motor feeds the original through the ARDF. In
reduction/enlargement mode, the image length change in the sub-scan
direction is done by changing the ARDF motor speed. Magnification in the

Achieving 50 CPM
with Mono-component Toner
‰ New toner
Š New toner was developed to improve fusibility and development
at higher speed. (Toner is modified based on Midas/Per' toner.)
Š The silica component of the toner is decreased compared to the
Midas/Per' toner.
» Merits:
– reduces metering blade wear
– extends the life of the development roller
» Demerit:
– The margin for smudged image is decreased. (However, there
is no problem on actual usage.)
‰ Development roller
Š Uses a larger circumference development roller
‰ Dual charge rollers
Š To ensure the sufficient charging for the life of AIO, the SH-
MF1/P1 machines use two charge rollers. (In high speed
machines, there is a possibility that charge rollers become dirty.)

Drum Charge and Cleaning

‰ The dual charge rollers [A] give the drum surface a


negative charge of approximately –900 V.
‰ The cleaning blade [B] removes any toner remaining on the
drum's surface after image development and transfer.
Slide 120

ˆ The charge rollers are charged to -1550 V and they transfer -900 V to the drum.
ˆ Cleaning blade is composed of polyurethane.
ˆ Q: Why two charge rollers?
A: Even with the cleaning blade the charge rollers will slowly get dirty. Design
testing showed that two rollers are necessary to ensure sufficient charging for
the life of the AIO under all environmental conditions.

Toner Supply and Development

‰ The toner tank (1) holds sufficient toner for the entire life of the AIO.
‰ The agitator (2) moves toner to the toner supply roller (3).
‰ The supply roller provides toner to the development roller (4).
‰ The metering blade (5) controls the amount of toner on the development
roller.
‰ The toner on the development roller develops the latent image on the drum
as it rotates past.
Slide 121

ˆ The high voltage supply applies the following:


¾ -600V to the development roller
¾ -1550V to the charge rollers
¾ -110V to the supply roller
¾ -490V to the metering blade
ˆ The development components – drum, development roller, metering blade, and
supply roller – are in contact. (= no photoconductor gap nor doctor gap.)
ˆ Relative peripheral velocities: OPC 1, Development roller 1.2, Charge roller

Toner Near-end and Toner End Detection

‰ This machine detects toner near-end and toner


end as follows:
‰ Toner Near-end
Š A toner-end sensor, mounted on the left frame of the
machine, checks for a low-toner condition.
Š If the toner end sensor is activated ten times in a
row, the toner near-end condition exists.
‰ Toner End
Š When the toner near-end condition occurs, the
machine starts the toner-end count.
Š Toner End is based on dot count. After toner
consumption equivalent to 1,250 A4 prints/copies at
5% coverage, the toner end condition is achieved.

‰ After fusing, the paper passes through the fusing exit rollers
and the paper exit rollers to the output tray. (See the Paper Exit
Slide 128 section.)

ˆ The thermistor detects the temperature of the hot roller. (See the "Fusing
Temperature control" slide.)
ˆ The thermostat provides backup overheat protection.
ˆ If making duplex copies, the junction gate directs to paper to the inverter
mechanism rather than the exit rollers after the first side is copied. (See the

Fusing Pressure Adjustments


[C]

[D]

‰ Service Adjustment
Š To increase fusing pressure move the pressure springs [B] from the upper
notch [C] to the lower notch [D].
‰ User Adjustment for Envelopes
Š The user can change the fusing pressure with the envelope lever [A]. Less
pressure is needed for envelopes, which are thicker than normal paper.
Š Raise the lever (①) to reduce the pressure. This prevents jams and
wrinkling when printing on envelopes.
Š Lower the lever to (②) return pressure to normal for all other print jobs.
Normally this lever should be down.
Slide 131

ˆ You may need to increase pressure if the customer complains of insufficient


fusing. The factory setting is the upper notch.

New Fusing Unit Detection

‰ In a new fusing unit, the looped wire on the fusing unit connector contains
a fuse [A].
‰ When power is switched on after installing a new fusing unit, the engine
board detects the fusing unit through the looped wire. However, the fuse
opens very shortly afterwards.

Fusing Temperature Control


‰ When the main switch
turns on, the CPU turns on
the fusing lamp using the
soft start process. (The
soft start process
prevents the room lights
from flickering.)
‰ The lamp stays on until
the thermistor detects the
standby temperature.
‰ Then the CPU maintains
this temperature using on-
off control.
‰ At the start of printing, the
CPU raises the fusing
temperature to the
printing temperature.
Slide 133

ˆ At the "Reload" temperature, the user can start job input.

133
SH-MF1 Training

Overheat Protection

‰ If the hot roller temperature becomes greater


than 235°C, the CPU cuts off the power to the
fusing lamp. At this time, SC543 will be
generated.
‰ If the thermistor overheat protection fails, there
are thermostats in series with the common
ground line of the fusing lamp. If the temperature
of a thermostat becomes greater than
approximately 175°C, the thermostat opens,
removing power from the fusing lamp. At this
time, the machine stops operation.

Brief Descriptions of the Technologies


‰ 1. QSU (Quick Start-up)
Š This technology reduces both the amount of energy
consumed while in Standby mode (the Ready condition) is
reduced, as well as the time it takes for the machine to
warm up to the Ready condition.
Š This is made possible through the utilization of dual fusing
lamp heating, low fusing point toner, a pressure roller with a
"sponge" surface layer, and a thin surface layer hot roller.
‰ 2. Hybrid QSU
Š This technology adds an additional circuit to conventional
QSU Technology, which allows the benefits of reduced
energy consumption and reduced warm-up time described
above to be extended to high-speed machines.

‰ 7. PxP (polymerized) toner
Š "PxP toner" is a fine-particle, polyester resin
based toner, manufactured using a Ricoh-original
polymerization method instead of the
conventional pulverization method.
Š This allows the toner to fuse at a lower
temperature, which reduces the impact on the
environment and contributes to achieving even
higher image quality than before.
Š PxP toner also has other benefits, including a
reduction in the amount of toner needed to
develop the image, as well as an approximate
35% reduction in CO2 emissions during the toner
manufacturing process.

‰ 8. Noise reduction design
Š 1) The machine and its components are designed to
minimize the overall noise generated by the machine. As a
result, all noise levels conform to the local laws and
regulations as well as user requirements in each market in
which the products are sold.
Š 2) Reduces the noise generated by the polygon mirror
motor.
‰ 9. Minimization of harmful substances
Š 1) Products sold in the EU conform to the RoHS Directive.
Š 2) Products sold in China conform to China's version of the
RoHS Directive.
Š 3) In addition, Ricoh imposes strict internal standards for
limiting the presence of harmful substances.

‰ 10. Environmentally-friendly toner bottle
Š A changeover from PS/PP/HDP to PET plastics allows
approximately 40 percent by weight of the toner bottle to be
recycled, and also reduces CO2 emissions that occur during
the toner bottle manufacturing process.
‰ 11. Toner recycling
Š Enables effective use of resources by recycling (reusing)
the toner left over on the drum surface after image transfer.
‰ 12. Recycle-friendly design
Š To maximize the recycling ratio of machine and component
materials, as well as the ease of performing the recycling in
the field, machine sections and components are designed
so that the recyclable parts can be separated out easily.
Š In addition, components are designed so that they can be
reused for as long as possible after the machine has
reached its operational lifetime.

ˆ When the machine is not being used, the machine enters energy saver mode to
reduce the power consumption by turning off the LCD of the operation panel and
lowering the fusing temperature.
ˆ The area shaded green in this diagram represents the amount of energy that is
saved when the timers are at the default settings. If the timers are changed, then
the energy saved will be different. For example, if the timers are all set to 240
minutes, the green area will disappear, and no energy is saved before 240

ˆ Normally, Panel Off timer < Energy Saver timer < Auto Off timer.
ˆ But, for example, if Auto Off timer < or = Panel Off timer and Energy Saver timer,
the machine goes immediately to Off mode when the Auto Off timer expires. It
skips the Panel Off and Energy Saver modes.
ˆ Example
¾ Panel off: 1 minute, Low power: 15 minutes, Auto Off: 1 minute
¾ The machine goes to Off mode after 1 minute. Panel Off and Low Power
modes are not used.
ˆ We recommend that the default settings should be kept.
¾ If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please
explain that their energy costs could increase, and that they should
consider the effects on the environment of extra energy use.
¾ If it is necessary to change the settings, please try to make sure that the
Auto Off timer is not too long. Try with a shorter setting first, such as 30
minutes, then go to a longer one (such as 60 minutes) if the customer is not
satisfied.
¾ If the timers are all set to the maximum value, the machine will not begin
saving energy until 240 minutes has expired after the last job. This means
that after the customer has finished using the machine for the day, energy
will be consumed that could otherwise be saved.
¾ If you change the settings, the energy consumed can be measured using
SP8941, as explained later in this presentation.
ˆ Power consumption during warm-up may be much higher than shown in this
