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.

Settings Menu

● Default PaperSizeA4, A5, B5, LGL, LTR, STMT, EXECUTIV, ISO-B5, ISO-C5, No.10(COM10), MONARCH, DL

This setting defines the default paper size used when the paper size cannot be set from the printer driver in the computer, or when no paper source is specified.

Caution

If you are printing from a computer that does not have the appropriate printer driver for the machine, make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper size selected for this setting. If paper of the selected size is missing in any of the paper sources, the machine displays an error message on the touch panel display and suspends further printing. If no paper source has been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default printer setting for the paper size.

● Default PaperTypePlain, Color, Recycled, Heavy Paper1, Bond, 3HOLE PUNCH PAPER, Transparency, Labels, ENVELOPE

This setting sets the default paper type to be used for print jobs. This machine has internally defined optimal print modes for each specified paper type.

Caution

If you are printing from a computer that does not have the appropriate printer driver for the machine, make sure that the paper loaded in the paper drawer matches the paper type selected for this setting. If paper of the selected type is missing in any of the paper sources, the machine displays an error message on the LCD display and suspends further printing. If no paper source has been selected through the application, the machine automatically selects the default printer setting for the paper type.

● Copies1 to 999; 1(default)

This setting enables you to specify the number of copies printed. The default setting is ‘1’, but you can specify up to 999 copies.

● 2-Sided PrintingOff(default), On

This setting selects one- or two-sided printing. In the 2-Sided Printing mode, the document is printed on both sides of the paper.

● Print Quality

Image RefinementOn, Off

This setting smoothes the jagged outlines of characters and graphics. If [On] is selected, smoothing is performed before printing.If [Off] is selected, jobs are printed without being smoothed.

NoteThe effects of image refinement may vary depending on the types of characters and graphics on the printed document.

Density9 levels; 5

22-19

2-19



This setting adjusts the print density.Pressing [←] or [→] makes the print image lighter or darker, respectively. You can select from nine levels, with level ‘5’ (middle) being the default setting.

Caution

This setting applies only to print jobs sent from a computer via a printer driver. To adjust the density when printing from USB memory media, use the Printer Density setting in Common Settings.

Toner SaveOff(default), On

This setting enables or disables the toner saving feature. When this feature is enabled, less toner is used to print documents, resulting in a longer toner life.

Caution

This setting applies only to print jobs sent from a computer via a printer driver. To save toner when printing from USB memory media, enable the Toner Save Mode in Common Settings.

NoteIf [On] is selected for Toner Saver, very light or finely detailed images may not be printed clearly.

Line RefinementOn, Off

This setting enables you to make clearer prints of documents containing fine lines and small characters.

Horizontal LineOff, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4

This setting adjusts the thickness of horizontal lines to produce fine lines and small characters more clearly. The higher the level number, the thicker the horizontal lines printed.

Note•This setting is also available when the Line Refinement is set to [On] in the printer driver.•With this setting, horizontal lines are based on the direction in which the paper is fed.•Selecting [Level 2] or higher for this setting may result in abrupt changes in gradation with halftone images.

Vertical LineOff, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4

This setting adjusts the thickness of vertical lines to produce fine lines and small characters more clearly. The higher the level number, the thicker the vertical lines printed.

Note•This setting is also available when the Line Refinement is set to [On] in the printer driver.•With this setting, vertical lines are based on the direction in which the paper is fed.•Selecting [Level 2] or higher for this setting may result in abrupt changes in gradation with halftone images.

● Layout

Binding LocationLong Edge(default), Short Edge

This setting determines whether the binding position is along the long edge or the short edge of the paper. When binding for two-sided printing, the image orientation is automatically adjusted to produce the correct layout.

2

22-20

2-20



Note•You cannot create a binding margin with this setting alone. Use this setting in combination with the Margin setting (described below) to create a binding margin.•For two-sided printing, the orientation of the image on the back side of the page may be changed using this setting.

Margin-50.0 to +50.0mm (in increments of 0.5 mm); 0.0mm(default)

This setting sets the page margin in millimeters or inches.Press [→] to increase the width of the inside margin. (Example 1)Press [←] to increase the width of the outside margin. (Example 2)

F-2-36

You can specify the edge along which the margin will be created in the Binding setting. To create a margin along one of the edges of the paper, use this setting in combination with the Binding setting.

Caution

If this setting moves the image outside the printable area, part of the image may be cut off.

F-2-37

• Combining the Binding and Margin SettingsThe figures below illustrate how the Binding and Margin settings are combined. You can set the paper orientation using the printer driver.

● Auto ContinueOff, On

This setting enables you to automatically clear an error and continue printing when an error occurs (Error skip).If [Off] is selected, you must perform error skips from the touch panel display.If [On] is selected, error skips are performed automatically.

Note•Error skip only temporarily clears an error, so the data may not print correctly.•This setting is valid even if multiple errors have occurred.

● TimeoutOn (5 to 300sec), Off; 15sec

The Timeout setting enables the machine to discard a print job that remains in the machine’s memory after a specified period of time.

F-2-38

This setting is useful when the data for the current job has some error and prevents the machine from performing further printing. In this case, the machine will not receive other print commands because it performs printing in chronological order (jobs are printed in the order they are received).If the Timeout setting is enabled, the current job is discarded automatically after the specified period of time. For example, if the Timeout is enabled at ‘20sec’, the data for the current job will be erased from the machine’s memory 20 seconds after the machine starts processing the data.If [Off] is selected, the machine will not discard jobs automatically.

Caution

•This setting applies only for PCL and PS data.

•If a job that consists of a large amount of data is sent from a computer, the function may cause the machine to end the print job before all of the data is received. In this case, set a longer timeout period (in seconds).

● PersonalityAuto, PCL, PS

This setting enables the machine to process data received from the host computer in the specified data format. Setting the 'Personality' to [Auto] makes the machine determine the type of data received from the host on a job-by-job basis. If you are printing from applications on a computer, we recommend that you use the [Auto] setting.

Note•To use the Personality function with the imageRUNNER 1750/1740/1730, the optional PCL Printer Kit-AL1 and PS Printer Kit-AL1 are required.•If the machine does not correctly switch to the appropriate personality when ‘Personality’ is set to [Auto], change the setting manually to match the data you are sending from the host computer.

● Mode PriorityOff, PCL, PS

This setting determines which personality should be used if a job is received without a specified command language or Direct Print data. 'Mode Priority' is available only when 'Personality' is set to [Auto].

[Off]:Applies the current Personality setting if the machine cannot detect a command language or the Direct Print data.[PCL]:Assigns priority to the PCL personality.[PS]:Assigns priority to the PS personality.

● PS Settings

NoteTo use the PS Printer function with the imageRUNNER 1750/1740/1730, the optional PS Printer Kit-AL1 is required.

Job Timeout0 to 3600 seconds (in increments of 1); 0s(default)This setting enables you to specify the amount of time before a job times out. If a job has not finished within the set time limit, the job automatically cancels.

Wait Timeout0 to 3600 seconds (in increments of 1); 300s(default)This setting enables you to specify the amount of time the machine will wait for data sent from the host computer before it times out. If data is not received within the set time limit, the job automatically cancels.

Print PS ErrorsOff(default), OnThis setting determines whether an error page is printed when an error occurs.

HalftonesText: High Resolution(default), Gradation, ResolutionGraphics: Gradation(default), Resolution, High ResolutionImage: Gradation(default), Resolution, High Resolution

This setting specifies how to express halftones in black and white data.Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are expressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called halftone processing.For example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern that smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most suitable texture.

[Gradation]:Select to print with both smooth gradation and outlines. Best for printing graphs and graphics that use gradation.

[Resolution]:Select to print text with distinct outlines. Best for printing text and thin lines.

[High Resolution]:Select to print finer than with [Resolution], although toner stability is somewhat weaker. Best for printing small characters, fine lines, and outlines (such as from CAD data) sharply.
