In response to complaints from customers that the intervals between jobs are too long

when sent in series, a new service switch has been added to improve performance.

New service switch:

Controller SP mode bit switch 2, bit 1

Series print mode On/Off

0: Off (default setting)

1: On

This switch has been added to the following GW models:

K-P1 (Kir-P1), J-P1, A-P3 (Adonis-P3), and R-C2 (Russian-C2).

Enter the printer controller service mode, access the bit switch settings display, then

change bit 1 of bit switch 2 to “1.”

Important: Do not change any other settings. (The default setting is “0.”)

Descriptions:

Series print mode Off (default):

The machine starts to feed paper for the next job after the last sheet of the previous job

has fed out from the machine.

Series print mode On:

The machine starts to feed paper for the next job before the last sheet of the previous job

is fed out.

Model: General (GW Models) Date: 20-Dec-01 No.: RGene010

Conditions for use:

For the Series Print mode to become effective, jobs must be sent from the same PC, using

the same PDL and interface (Ethernet, IEEE1284, IEEE1394).

Limitations:

Series Print mode cannot be used when:

- The above conditions are not met

- Stapling or punching is used

- A user code is used

- Color and black-and-white jobs are mixed (only for color machines)

Remarks:

When enabled, the machine handles the jobs waiting to be printed as a single job.

When the Job Reset key on the operation panel is pressed, all jobs combined by this

feature are cancelled.

Applied from the following software versions:

K-P1: Controller Ver. 1.11

J-P1: 1st mass production of P1b

A-P3: 1st mass production

U-P1: 1st mass production

R-C2: 1st mass production

SYMPTOM

When printing with the PS driver, the Euro currency symbol is not printed out with 112 of

136 fonts, which are stored in the font ROM in GW-based products.

The following are GW-based products:

Model-K3, Model-K P2, Russian-C2, Adonis- C2, Model-A P3, Model-J P1b, Model-J CF

Model-U P1, Model-U C1, Martini-C1.

CAUSE

The Euro currency symbol was not included in the font ROM.

SOLUTION

Temporary Solution (1)

A workaround for each operating system has been previously released on the FAQ page,

and is included on pp. 5-8 below.

Temporary Solution (2)

Although the font ROM will be modified as a permanent solution (details below), before

this can be applied, the controller firmware has been modified on the following GW-based

products:

Product Firmware Version Product Firmware Version

Model-K3 1.01 (Controller) Model-J P1b 2.18 (Controller)

Model-K P2 1.06.1 (Controller) Model-J CF 1.11 (Printer Application)

Russian-C2 2.03 (Printer Application) Model-U P1 2.20 (Printer Application)

Adonis-C2 3.09 (Printer Application) Model-U C1 1.22 (Printer Application)

Model-A P3 1.08 (Controller) Martini-C1 1.01 (Printer Application)

Specifically, the Euro currency symbol has been added along with the “PS fonts download”

feature, which allows the symbol to be downloaded to machine RAM. Enable this feature

by changing the setting of Bit SW#3-0 to “1 (ON)” in SP mode (default: OFF).

Remarks for Temporary Solution 2:

1. Switching PDL to PS takes approximate 7 to 10 seconds.

When PS fonts download is enabled, the Euro symbol is temporarily downloaded to

the machine RAM at the first PS printing job, and whenever the PDL is switched from

RPCS or PCL to PS. The total download time is approximately 7 to 10 seconds. This is

because once the data is downloaded, it will remain in the RAM until the PDL is

switched or the power turned off.

2. Printing high image area documents at 1200 dpi may cause a memory overflow error

in machines equipped only with 32MB of memory (ex. Model-K P2).

This is because the PS fonts download feature uses approximately 800kB, which can

bring the amount of available memory close to capacity with the above printing

conditions.

Workaround:

! Printing at 600dpi may prevent an overflow, even with just the 32MB memory

installed.

! Changing the memory usage setting from “Frame Priority” to “Font Priority” may

prevent an overflow.

Permanent Solution

Modification of the font ROM on the ROM DIMM or the Controller Board, from October ’02,

production or later (details differ depending on the model). Specifically, the Euro currency

symbol has been added to the 112 fonts mentioned above.

Note:

1. When the new ROM DIMM or Controller Board is installed, it is not necessary to

disable the PS fonts download feature (temporary solution).

2. An MB will be issued separately announcing the P/N change for the ROMM DIMM and

Controller Boards, and cut-in serial number.
