POWER-ON SELF TEST

The controller tests the following devices at power-on. If an error is detected, an

error code is stored in the NV RAM. Refer to section 3.2.4 for how to check the
error codes, and section 2.1 for the details about error codes.
CPU
Flash ROM
Font ROM

Resident and optional SDRAM
Parallel interface
NIB (If this board is installed)
Centronics Interface (if a loop-back connector is present)

3.5 SELF DIAGNOSTIC TEST

In addition to the power-on self-test, you can set the machine in a more detailed
diagnostic mode to test other components and conditions.
It requires a loop-back connector (P/N: G0219350).
1. Turn off the machine and attach the loop-back connector to the parallel
interface.
2. Turn on the machine while pressing the On Line key and OK key together.
3. The machine prints the diagnostic report automatically.
Refer to section 3.2.4 for how to check the error codes.

The CPU (Destiny DB401A, 75MHz) controls the resident RAM, engine interface,
ROM interface, IEEE1284 parallel interface, NIB interface, and an IC card interface
for upgrading firmware.
There is one optional memory socket that can have either a 32MB, 64MB, or a
128MB memory DIMM to increase RAM capacity and enable RAM collation. With
the 128MB memory DIMM, the RAM capacity is increased to 144MB. There is
another memory socket for the optional PS2 DIMM.
The NIB interface allows the user to install an Ethernet NIB. The IC card interface
allows the interface for the controller and NIB to be updated.

CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS

20 February, 2001

4.2 CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS

4.2.1 PAPER SOURCE SELECTION
Tray Priority (Auto Tray Select)
The controller searches for the
Start of Tray Search
Tray 1
specified paper size, starting
from Tray 1, and uses the first
Tray 2
tray that has the specified paper
Tray 3
size. If the selected tray is pulled
out or runs out of paper during
Tray 4
printing, the controller searches
[Link]
for another tray with the specific
paper size and if found, automatically switches to it. If the controller cannot find
another paper tray with the specified paper size, printing stops and the LCD
displays the message Load Paper.
The Tray Priority setting can be specified with a user tool.
(User Tools/Printer features/Job Control/Paper Input/Tray Priority)
NOTE: The by-pass tray is not part of the tray search.

Manual Tray Select

Tray 1
Start of Tray Search
(Tray selected by the driver)

Tray 2
Tray 3
Tray 4
[Link]

When the printer driver specifies a tray, the selected tray becomes the first tray
checked at the start of the tray search. If the selected tray does not have the size of
paper specified by the driver, the controller searches the other trays for the same
paper size.
NOTE: Tray Priority in the Job Control menu does not specify the start of the tray
search, but specifies the paper size in the selected tray as the default
paper size.

4-2

20 February, 2001

CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS

Tray Lock
If Tray Lock is enabled for a tray, the controller does not use the locked tray in the
tray search process. If a tray has, for example, coloured A4 size paper for fax
prints, enable tray lock for that tray so that the controller does not select the tray for
printing.
If the user selects a locked tray with the printer driver, the controller uses the tray
for printing only when the specified paper size matches the actual paper size in the
tray.
The Tray Lock setting can be specified with a user tool.
(User Tools/Printer features/Job Control/Paper Input/Tray Locking)
NOTE: The by-pass tray cannot be locked.

To print from the by-pass tray, select the by-pass tray with the driver. The paper
sizes that can only be fed from the by-pass tray (such as envelope sizes and
custom sizes), can be fed from the by-pass tray using Auto Tray Select. But
other paper sizes (LT, A4, etc), which can also be fed from the other paper trays,
cannot be fed from the by-pass tray using Auto Tray Select.

CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS

20 February, 2001

4.2.2 COLLATION (SORTING)

This feature is available when the driver specifies it. Is not executed by the driver
but by memory board on the controller.

4.2.3 DUPLEX PRINTING

Duplex printing is available for the B043 model only.
If a jam occurs while printing on side 2 of a duplex print, both sides will be printed
again after jam recovery.
If a job specifies duplex printing but the paper size to be used cannot go through
the duplex unit, the job will be printed single-sided.
The by-pass tray cannot be used for duplex printing.

4.2.4 AUTO CONTINUE

When this function is enabled, the machine continues printing automatically (after
10 seconds) even if one of the following errors occurs. However, the page where
the error occurred may not be printed out correctly.
Print Overrun
Memory Overflow
Memory Full
If Auto Continue is disabled and the one of the above errors occurs, the machine
will stop printing and will display an error message on the operation panel.
NOTE: The default setting for Auto Continue is Disabled.

4.2.5 PAGE PROTECT

When a Print Overrun error occurs and this function is set to Auto, this error can
be avoided by changing the setting to On. However, printing may slow down.
NOTE: The default setting for Page Protect is Auto.
