 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."

Note:
The value in parentheses indicates the area in

- The height and width can be specified by 1/10 mm(Except US)or 1/100 inch(US).

- The height must be equal to or greater than width.

　　
Area-Specific Paper Sizes
In addition to default paper sizes (A4/LTR) and user-defined paper sizes, the printer
driver supports area-specific paper sizes (e.g., Officio), and it handles these area-specific
paper sizes as user-defined paper sizes, requiring the user to register them in advance of
use. To do so, see the instructions on registering user-defined paper sizes for individual
operating systems.
When an area-specific paper size is manually set up under [Form to Tray Assignment] of
the driver UI, or if the size obtained by running dynamic configuration happens to be an
area-specific paper size, the driver operates in the corresponding mode. After performing
all associated internal operations, the driver runs a check of area-specific paper sizes
stored as user defined paper sizes, and handles any matching paper as a default paper size
(special paper ID) instead of as a user-defined paper size. Moreover, the driver permits
registration of multiple area-specific paper sizes, treating them as a separate paper group.
The driver UI handles them using specifications designed for LTR paper, permitting the
use of finisher functions, which were previously offered for user-defined paper sizes
(except the use of the middle binding function). Although it will permit all settings, the
printer unit may ignore some of the settings. (The printer driver will simply ignore them,
not issuing conflicts.)

2.1.2 Image Processing

<UFR>
Printing purpose
The image is processed and printed according to the printing purpose. (Text, Photo,
DTP, Graphics, CAD)

Toner saving
Set whether to save toner by reducing the amount of toner used.

Super smooth
Allows setting of whether to use Super Smoothing Technology.

Gradation settings
Allows setting of whether to use gradation smoothing. When gradation smoothing is
set,colour gradation is printed very smoothly.

2-2
 Chapter 2

<PCL>
Gray Compensation
If R=G=B, determines whether or not to print objects in K monochrome (including
text, graphics, images).
If gray compensation has been selected for an object (i.e., by enabling gray
compensation), the object will be printed in K monochrome if R=G=B. If gray
compensation has not been selected (i.e., by disabling gray compensation), the object
will be printed in CMYK even when R=G=B.

Halftone
Halftone may be selected for any object of text, graphics, or image.

Save Toner
The amount of toner to be used may be reduced to save on its consumption.

Super Smooth
The use of the Super Smooth Technology may be enabled or disabled. Use it for
smoother reproduction of characters or lines drawn at angles.

Gradation
Gradation smoothing may be enabled or disabled.

Toner Density
For CMYK, the density of toner may be specified individually.

<PS>
Color Mode
A page may be printed in color or monochrome.

Monochrome
Use it to print a page in monochrome. If the PDL input is color data, it will be
converted to gray data as part of PDL processing, turning out a monochrome page. The
charging will be for a monochrome print.

Full Color

2-3
 Chapter 2　

Use it to print a page in full color. However, gray data will print as a monochrome
print.
Moreover, color data will print as a monochrome page if it consists of objects for
which gray compensation has been selected and if it is R=G=B. Otherwise, printing
will be of a color page even if all its objects are monochrome. The charging will be for
a color print.

Auto Switchover
If all objects of a page are gray data, internal identification will turn on monochrome
operations([print mode]); otherwise, full color operations will be turned on.

RGB Source Profile

This setting allows you to define the characteristics RGB profile (color data
represented using the RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) color model) used when printing
color images or graphics in a document. This ensures that the machine uses the most
appropriate color conversion when printing color documents using the CMYK color
model.

Rendering Style

CMYK Simulation Profile

This setting allows you to change the simulation target for the current job. When the
machine processes the job, the simulation target selected in CMYK Simulation Profile
is applied before the job is printed using the CMYK (Cyan, Magenta,Yellow, and Key
(black) color model.

Matching Method
This setting allows you to select a default color rendering dictionary (CRD) to be used
when printing RGB images and text. A CRD is used by the color management system
to ensure the best possible translation when the machine converts data between color
models. This machine includes several CRDs that provide different color rendering
styles.

Pure Black Text/Graphics

2-4
 Chapter 2

Black Overprint
When printing black text in combination with a color background or graphics, the text
can be printed in one of two ways: either as part of the color background, or not. This
setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text for such a job.

Output Profile
This setting allows you to define the Output Profile. It is applied to all data in the print
job, so make sure the selected profile is right for your job.

Brightness
This setting adjusts the brightness of the overall image.

Half Tone
This setting enables you to apply the following patterns to Text, Graphics, and Image
data.
Halftoning is used to print each process color at a different intensity, allowing millions
of different colors to be reproduced using only the four process colors. Depending on
the required intensity of a given color, toner is placed on paper in dots of different
sizes. The grid of dots used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens are
aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference patterns called moire (a
shimmering, wavy effect) that can arise with halftoning.

Save Toner
The amount of toner to be used may be reduced to save on its consumption.

Super Smooth
The use of the Super Smooth Technology may be enabled or disabled. Use it for
smother reproduction of characters or lines drawn at angles.

Gradation
Gradation smoothing may be enabled or disabled.

2.1.3 Canon Driver Information Assist Service (DIAS)

This is a subset version of the Netspot Suite Service, supporting Driver only: we have
selected Driver's functions (mainly, the functions to acquire Device configuration
information) and redesigned them.　The DIAS has the following functions:
- To acquire Device configuration information (acquisition when setting up Printer
Property.)
- To acquire calibration information (acquisition when setting up Printer Property and
printing by the color LBP, Color iR, and etc.)
- To make recognition in department-control printing (communication when setting up
Printer Property or when making a department-control print)

Main structure of DIAS

DIAS (DLL): It is a module loaded on Driver
DIAS (Service): It does a service of installation on printer server when using a shared
printer (resident process)
CBT: It is a module group to control a local port, such as Centronics Cable or USB
H-VDC: It is a module group which are needed for the driver function in DIAS.

Characteristics of DIAS
- Local printer can acquire the configuration information in DIAS (DLL) only.
Local printer means a printer that is "Peer to Peer" connected with Local PC via LPR/IPP/
Centronics Cable/USB and that Spooler (Print queue) appears on the Local PC.

- Shared printer needs to have DIAS (Service) installed on printer server.

The installation of DIAS (Service) must be done via Driver installer.
Shared printer means a printer whose Spooler (Print queue) appears on the printer server
(Remote PC).

- However, in some cases, DIAS (Service) needs to be installed for Local Port connection.

About the version indication

The same Driver version indication as the one via Netspot Suite Service appears only when
communicating with Device via DIAS (Service) (i.e., when connected through a shared
printer).

Compatibility of DIAS and Netspot Suite Service

DIAS and Netspot Suite Service are compatible and independent. Driver supporting DIAS
does not use Netspot Suite Service even if it is installed.

Cautions when using DIAS

CBT controls all access to Local Port; both DIAS (DLL/Service) and NetSpot Suite Service
use CBT to access Local Port from the same PC.
CBT was installed only on Netspot Suite Service before; it is automatically uninstalled in
response to uninstalling the existing NetSpot Suite Service. Follow the procedures below
when uninstalling the former versions of NetSpot Suite Service v3.40 and when uninstalling
JobMonitor v4.20 and former.
- Reinstall DIAS after the uninstallation is complete. (Reinstallation of DIAS is enabled via
Installer.)
- Update NetSpot Suite Service to the latest version (v3.40 and later).

Former versions of NetSpot Suite Service v3.40

PS Printer Driver v2.10 and former
PCL5e Printer Driver v6.11 and former
PCL5c Printer Driver v6.11 and former
PCL6 Printer Driver v6.11 and former
UFR Printer Driver v1.10 and former
JobMonitor v4.10 and former

About a file name of the CBT module

Following files are installed in the 'c:\Windows\system' folder. (For Windows XP/Windows
2000/NT/Server2003, this folder name is to be '%SystemRoot%\system32'.)
AuPort.exe

Method of confirming when CBT is deleted

The following message is displayed.
"Failed to obtain device information Make sure no printer error occurred and printout port
setting is correct."

2.1.4 FTP Printing

This device provides a FTP server for receiving print data. The device can accept print jobs
sent in FTP from client PCs. This is called FTP printing, a new feature first employed on
iRC 6800. To use this feature, the FTP Print option must be selected. It is selected by
default. You can access the option by pressing Ad Func, System Settings, Network Settings,
TCP/IP Settings, and FTP Print Settings buttons. In FTP Print Settings screen, only one pair
of a user name and password can be entered for the user who can log in to the FTP server.
No settings are made for both of the fields by default.

2-8
 Chapter 2

F-2-3

Commands

The FTP server complies with the RFC 959 -- File Transfer Protocol -- but provides only
printing function. Thus the server does not support other functions required as a RFC 959
compliant server. The commands available for the FTP client are "user," "password," "bin,"
"put," "bye," "hash," and "help." There is no use of other commands since the server does
not provide functions other than printing. The following lists the notes to use the
commands.

- To send print data with the command "put," set the mode to the binary mode using the
command "bin." In the ascii mode, the data cannot be sent with the command "put."

- If the user and password fields are blank, any user with any password can log in. If the
user name "anonymous" is used, any character string can be entered as the password. The
device displays the string in User filed of Log screen.

2-9
 Chapter 2　

- This function is featured mainly to print prn files output from PDL drivers. The device
processes text files and the like as it receives data in LPR (and does not properly print
depending on settings.) The device of PostScript-compatible model can print PDF files,
compatible with PDF V1.3.

The following shows a command specification example, which you will connect the device
of the IP address "172.16.181.131" in FTP with the user name "test" and the password "test"
and print the file "test.prn" in the root directory of the drive C on the client PC.

C:\>ftp 172.16.181.131

C:\>

Number of Connections and Used Ports

The maximum number of concurrent connections is three. If a user attempts to connect to
the FTP server with which three connections have been established, the user cannot log in
and fails in connection. The default port for the FTP server is 21. There is no measure
provided to change the port.
The control port time-out is set to 300 seconds. You need to re-connect to the server if you
have left the connection for 300 seconds or more after logging in. The data port time-out is
60 minutes. If a data transmission takes more than 60 minutes, the connection is
automatically disconnected.

3.2 PCL Setup Guide for WinXP

3.2.1 Overview
The following discussions relate to connection to a network in a Windows XP environment
using the PCL printer driver and standard TCP/IP settings:

PCL is a PDL used to print on an iR C6800 or iR C6800N from a PC.

- In the case of the iR C6800, this function will become available when a Canon Color
Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-C1 (optional) is installed. (The function comes as
standard with the iR C6800N.)

RAW mode is used for printing through port 9100.

- If the network uses firewall software or uses a router, or it is a WAN or VPN, you must
make settings so that port 9100 is valid for use of RAW mode.
- The appropriate settings will automatically be made when printer drivers are installed.

3.2.2 Items to Prepare and Points to Note

You will need the following when installing printer drivers:
Canon Color Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-C1
(optional for iR C6800; standard for iR C6800N)

3.2.6 Difference Between LPR Port and Standard TCP/IP

Port
On the iR C6800, both LPR port and standard TCP/IP port may be used side by side;
however, the use of the standard TCP/IP port is recommended for the following reason:

- In the case of the LPR port (OS standard), jobs spooled on the PC will not be sent to the
printer (as when about 10 jobs are being printed in succession. In a while, printing will
resume, but newly added jobs may be printed, skipping the jobs that have been left out
(e.g., resulting in missing sets).
- In the case of the LPR port, additional installation of software is needed.

3.2.7 Installing the LPR Port (UNIX print service)

Components
If the standard TCP/IP port is used, you need not install the LPR port (UNIX print service).
　
If, because of limits imposed by the user environment, the standard TCP/IP port cannot be
used, you may have to select the LPR port (UNIX print service); if such is the case, you
need to separately install it, as it does not come as part of the standard installation.

3.3 PS Setup Guide for WinXP

3.3.1 Overview
The following discussions relate to connection to a network in a Windows XP environment
using the PS printer driver and standard TCP/IP settings:

PS is a PDL used to print on an iR C6800 or iR C6800N from a PC.

- In the case of the iR C6800, this function will become available when a Canon Color
Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-C1 (optional) is installed. (The function comes as
standard with the iR C6800N.)

RAW mode is used for printing through port 9100.

- If the network uses firewall software or uses a router, or it is a WAN or VPN, you must
make settings so that port 9100 is valid for use of RAW mode.
- The appropriate settings will automatically be made when printer drivers are installed.

3.3.2 Items to Prepare and Points to Note

You will need the following when installing printer drivers:
Canon Color Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-C1
(optional for iR C6800; standard for iR C6800N)
- User Software CD-ROM (included with Canon Color Network Multi-PDL Printer
Kit-C1)

For more information, see the following documentation that comes with the iR C6800,
iR C6800N.

3.3.6 Difference Between LPR Port and Standard TCP/IP

Port
On the iR C6800, both LPR port and standard TCP/IP port may be used side by side;
however, the use of the standard TCP/IP port is recommended for the following reason:

- In the case of the LPR port (OS standard), jobs spooled on the PC will not be sent to the
printer (as when about 10 jobs are being printed in succession. In a while, printing will
resume, but newly added jobs may be printed, skipping the jobs that have been left out
(e.g., resulting in missing sets).
- In the case of the LPR port, additional installation of software is needed.

3.4 UFR Setup Guide for WinXP

3.4.1 Overview
The following discussions relate to connection to a network in a Windows XP environment
using the UFR printer driver and standard TCP/IP settings:

UFR is a PDL used to print on an iR C6800 or iR C6800N from a PC.

- In the case of the iR C6800, this function will become available when a Canon Color
Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-C1 / Canon Color Network UFR Printer Kit-C1
(optional) is installed. (The function comes as standard with the iR C6800N.)

RAW mode is used for printing through port 9100.

- If the network uses firewall software or uses a router, or it is a WAN or VPN, you must
make settings so that port 9100 is valid for use of RAW mode.
- The appropriate settings will automatically be made when printer drivers are installed.

3.4.2 Items to Prepare and Points to Note

You will need the following when installing printer drivers:
Canon Color Network Multi-PDL Printer Kit-C1 / Canon Color Network UFR Printer
Kit-C1 (optional for iR C6800; standard for iR C6800N)
- User Software CD-ROM (included with Canon Color Network Multi-PDL Printer
Kit-C1 / Canon Color Network UFR Printer Kit-C1)

3.4.6 Difference Between LPR Port and Standard TCP/IP

Port
On the iR C6800, both LPR port and standard TCP/IP port may be used side by side;
however, the use of the standard TCP/IP port is recommended for the following reason:

- In the case of the LPR port (OS standard), jobs spooled on the PC will not be sent to the
printer (as when about 10 jobs are being printed in succession. In a while, printing will
resume, but newly added jobs may be printed, skipping the jobs that have been left out
(e.g., resulting in missing sets).
- In the case of the LPR port, additional installation of software is needed.
