Precautions
For Your Safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life, read this section carefully before servicing the Panasonic machine to ensure proper, and safe operation of your machine. Please ensure that the machine is installed near a wall outlet, and is easily accessible.
This section explains the Warnings and Cautions used in the machine and/or this manual.
WARNING: Denotes a potential hazard that could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Denotes hazards that could result in minor injury or damage to the machine.
This section also explains the Warnings and Cautions used in the machine and/or this manual. These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must not be performed. These symbols are used to alert operators to a specific operating procedure that must be emphasized in order to operate the machine safely.
WARNING
Power and Ground Connection Cautions
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can draw a significant amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire if left unattended over an extended period of time. Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord is required, always use a properly rated cord.
120 V/15 A or AC 220 – 240V/10 A If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, it may be underrated, and the machine, or plug may emit smoke, orbecome hot to the touch. Do not attempt to repair, pull, bend, chafe or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a heavy object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks. Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
If the power cord is damaged, or insulated wires are exposed, contact the authorized Panasonic dealer for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks. Stop operation immediately if your machine emits smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or abnormal smell, or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch Off and unplug the machine, and contact the authorized Panaso. nic dealer. Do not disconnect or reconnect the machine while the power switch is in the On position. Disconnecting a live connector can cause arcing, consequently deforming the plug and cause fire. When disconnecting the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Pulling on a cord forcibly can damage it, and cause fire, or an electric shock. When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it Off and unplug it. If an unused machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric shocks, current leakage or fire. Be sure to switch Off, and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning, maintenance or fault clearance. Access to a live machine’s interior can cause an electric shock.

Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following. If you notice any unusual condition, contact your authorized Pana.sonic dealer
The power cord is plugged firmly into the receptacle. The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent. The plug and receptacle are free of dust. The cord is not cracked or frayed.
Operating Safeguards
Do not touch areas where these caution labels are attached to, the surface may be very hot and may cause severe burns. Do not place any liquid container such as a vase, or coffee cup on the machine. Spilt water can cause fire or shock hazard. Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the machine. If metal and flammable parts get into the machine, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or electric shocks. If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the machine, switch Off and unplug the machine immediately. Operating a debris-contaminated machine can cause fire or electric shock. Do not try to alter the machine configuration or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can cause smoke or fire.
Consumable Safeguards
Never dispose of toner, toner cartridge, or a waste toner container into an open flame. Toner remaining in the cartridge/bottle can cause an explosion, burns and/or injuries.

When copying a thick document, do not use excessive force to press it against the document glass. The glass may break and cause injuries. Never touch a labeled area found on or near the heat roller. You can get burnt. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it when it is hot, to avoid injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and wait until it cools down. Do not use conductive paper, e.g. folding paper, carbonic paper and coated paper. When a paper jam occurs, they can cause a short circuit and fire. Do not place any heavy object on the machine. An off-balance machine can tip-over or the heavy object can fall, causing damage and/or injuries. Keep the room ventilated when using the machine for an extended period of time to minimize the ozone density in the air. When copying with the document cover open, do not look directly at the exposure lamp. Direct eye exposure can cause eye fatigue or damage. Pull out paper trays slowly to prevent injuries.
When removing jammed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the machine. A piece of paper remaining in the machine can cause fire. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, or when clearing a jammed paper that is difficult or impossible to see, do not try to remove it by yourself. Doing so can cause injuries or burns. Switch Off the machine immediately, and wait until it cools down.
If accessing the inner components of the machine to clear misfed paper, etc., exercise care not to touch heated areas, or you may get burned.
Consumable Safeguards WARNING
Never throw a toner cartridge into an open flame. Toner remaining in the cartridge can cause an explosion and you can get burnt. Never throw toner, a waste toner container, or a toner cartridge into an open flame. It can cause an explosion and you can get burnt. Keep button batteries out of the reach of children. If a button battery is swallowed accidentally, get medical treatment immediately.
CAUTION
Never heat the OPC Drum, or scratch its surface. A heated, or scratched drum can be hazardous to your health. Do not mix new and old batteries at the same time, or batteries can burst or leak, causing fire or injuries. Be sure to use the specified type of batteries only.

Yield: 5 K (5% coverage), 6 K Max Average yield is based on 5% coverage of the printable area with repetitive printing of 10 pages (Letter/A4 size, single side printing, default density). The yield of a Toner Cartridge varies depending on the coverage, temperature, humidity, media, etc. Therefore, the average yield cannot be guaranteed. Continuously printing 10% coverage of printable area will reduce the yield of the Toner Cartridge to about half as compared to 5% coverage printing. The maximum yield of the Toner Cartridge will not exceed 6,000 pages by way of Digital Counter.

4 Laser Handling Precautions The optical laser system employed by this photocopier is completely sealed by a protective housing, and an external cover. Therefore, the laser beam will not stray or leak during photocopying operation. However, when servicing the photocopier, take the following precautions: 1. Do not insert any screwdrivers, or other tools that have high reflective properties into the laser’s path. 2. .Before servicing the machine, remove watches, rings, or other metallic objects that you may be wearing. (This is to avoid the danger of the laser striking the eye by reflecting off the metallic objects being worn.) Since the laser beam cannot be seen with the naked eye, for maximum safety, please follow the above precautions.

SLOT 1. The Firmware (3) and (4) are assigned as ROM Code (C). When using SD Memory Card (32 MB to 512 MB), the 8 MB Program (C) can be written onto one card. C. 2nd G3 PC Board Firmware The 4 MB Program Memory (F-ROM) is integrated on the 2nd G3 PCB. The Programs for 2nd Super G3 communication protocol Control is saved on the Board. The Firmware is transferred as Serial Data from the SC PCB.
D. Firmware Updating Ports Three (3) types of Ports are available for updating the firmware.
(1) Ethernet LAN Port (The Quick and Easy Method) The machine’s Firmware can be updated using a PC via Local Area Network (LAN). Refer to the Firmware Update Operation Instructions, Service Notes (8.1.) for additional details.
(2) USB Port (Alternate) The machine’s Firmware can be updated using a PC via USB Port. Refer to the Firmware Update Operation Instructions, Service Notes (8.1.) for additional details.
(3) SD Memory Card (New Method) The machine’s Firmware can be updated using the Master SD Memory Card. The Master SD Memory Card can be created by copying the Firmware from the Web site using the SD Memory Firmware Writing Tool Software and a PC with SD Memory Card Slot or with an SD Memory Card Reader & Writer. To update the SC PCB and 2nd G3 PCB, just one Master SD Memory Card (if the Card includes all necessary firmware codes) is required for the Standard or all option configurations, which includes the PCL and the 2nd G3 Fax. The easiest way is to use “Auto Mode” for updating all necessary firmware at once.

4.6.2. Testing the TCP/IP Network
It is beyond the scope of this Service Manual to cover Networking in detail, there are many excellent manuals on this subject, but we hope the information in this section will aid with your troubleshooting efforts. In most cases, the Network Administrator will be able to provide you with needed information or assistance.
When encountering Network problems during an onsite service call or during the installation stage, try to isolate the steps that are not being completed so that you can quickly locate the components that don’t work. It is best to organize your troubleshooting efforts by understanding what should be happening, then you can trace the path and see where the problem is occurring.
In our case, we use TCP/IP for transportation of data from one system to another, which involves a whole series of events occurring throughout a number of different layers. As with all networking, TCP/IP works better when its plugged in, therefore, start your troubleshooting by checking the Physical Connectivity first, the cable(s).
In our examples, we’ll use several simple tools readily available in the DOS command-line utility for troubleshooting. There are many other utilities available for checking more detailed information, some are Free of charge, others are available for a nominal fee.

1. System Diagram Model Ask the customer to provide you with the Pre- Installation Information form, that was filled out by the Network Administrator. A description or system diagram for the unit, including its physical address, email server and DNS server is required.

2. Checking the Current Configuration Print the current unit Internet Parameters configuration. Locate a PC connected to the same Subnet Mask as the unit, then from the DOS Prompt, type the following command-line utility: “ipconfig /all” for Windows 98/Me/XP/2000/NT.

Verify that the displayed Network configuration on the PC, matches the following Internet Parameter settings of the unit:

Default Gateway IP Address: DNS Server IP Address: Subnet Mask: (whether it is valid)

For Windows 98 / Me / XP / 2000 / NT The following example shows the output after you type “ipconfig /all” at a command prompt:

From the above examples, you know the Network configuration for the specified Subnet Mask is as follows: IP Address: 192.168.3.4; Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0; Default Gateway (Default Router IP Address): 192.168.3.254; DNS Server: 192.168.1.1 and the Domain Name: labo.mgcs.com (obtained from the Host Name).

3. Using “PING” to Test Physical Connectivity The Packet Internet Groper (PING) is a command-line tool included with every Microsoft TCP/IP client (any DOS or Windows client with the TCP/IP protocol installed). PING is a simple utility that is used to send a test packet to a specified IP Address or Hostname, then, if everything is working properly, the packet is echoed back (returned).

Sample command-line PINGing and parameters are shown below. There are several available options that can be specified with the PING command. However, for our examples, we will use two options (-n and -w) which are commonly used when the response from the destination location is too long.

-n count : The number of echo requests that the command should send. The default is four. -w timeout : Specifies the period PING will wait for the reply before deciding that the host is not
responding.

4. Tracing a Packet Route Another useful command-line utility is TRACERT, which is used to verify the route a packet takes to reach its destination. The result shows each router crossed and how long it took to get through each particular router to reach the specified destination.
The time it takes to get through a particular router is calculated three times and displayed for each router hop along with the IP Address of each router crossed. If a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) is available, it will be displayed as well.
This utility is useful for two diagnostic purposes: a. To detect whether a particular router is malfunctioning along a known path. For example, if you
know that packets on a network always go through London to get from New York to Berlin, but the communication is failing. A TRACERT to the Berlin address shows all the hops up to the point where the router in London should respond. If it does not respond, the time values are shown with an asterisk (*), indicating the packet timed out. b. To determine whether a router is slow and needs to be upgraded or additional routers should be installed on the network. You can determine this by simply comparing the time it takes for a packet to get through a particular router. If its return time is significantly higher than the other routers, it should be upgraded.
To use this utility, from the DOS command-line, type: tracert <IP Address or Hostname>
Tracing the Route to SMTP/POP Server

5. Managing Network Route Tables In the simplest case a router connects two network segments. In this model, the system used to join the two segments needs to know only about these segments.
The routing table for router R1 in this case is simple; the following table shows its key routes:

Network Address 192.168.3.0 192.168.1.0

Netmask 255.255.255.0 255.255.255.0

Gateway 192.168.3.254 192.168.1.253

Interface 192.168.3.254 192.168.1.253

When the Unit at 192.168.3.5 attempts to communicate with the Unit at 192.168.1.x, IP performs the ANDing process to find two things: The local network ID is 192.168.3.0, and the destination network ID is not. This means, that the destination host is not on the local network.
IP, is responsible to find a route to the remote network, and therefore, it consults the routing table. Here, the local host normally determines that the next step in the route is the Default Gateway, and sends the packet to router R1.
The router R1, receives the packet. After determining that the packet is for another host and not the router itself, it checks the routing table. It finds the route to 192.168.1.0 and sends the packet through the interface to the Unit at 192.168.1.x, which receives the packet. This is a simple route that took only a single hop.
When another network is added as the number of hosts grows, it gets complicated, and the systems on the most distant networks cannot communicate. When the router receives a packet in this case, it cannot find a route to the remote network. It then discards the packet and a message indicating “destination host unreachable” is sent to the originator.
Here, is where the ROUTE command-line utility is useful when dealing with more than two networks, and is used by Administrators to statically manage a route table by adding, deleting, changing and clearing the route table. It has a number of options that are used to manipulate the routing tables, some are shown below:
· MASK If this switch is present, the next parameter is interpreted as the netmask parameter.
· Netmask If included, specifies a sub-net mask value to be associated with this route entry. If not specified, it defaults to 255.255.255.255.
· Gateway Specifies the gateway.
· METRIC Specifies the metric / cost for the destination.
All symbolic names used for the destination are looked up in the network database file NETWORKS. The symbolic names for the gateway are looked up the host name database file HOSTS.

7. Testing Unit Using the TELNET Command TELNET is a terminal emulation protocol. TELNET enables PCs and workstations to function as dumb terminals in sessions with hosts on internet works. From Windows 98/Me/XP/2000/NT, use the TELNET to test the communication of TCP/IP and SMTP Protocol manually to the Unit. This method eliminates the SMTP Server.
For better understanding, type “telnet” in the DOS Command-line to bring up the Telnet screen. Then, click on the Terminal menu and on Preferences, check the “Local Echo” and “Block Cursor” radio dials and click on the OK button. Click on the Connect menu, then click on Remote System. Enter “25” in the “Port:” field and click on Connect button. For example,
