Precautions
Always observe the following general precautions when installing and servicing
the ColorPASS:
• Report any shipping damage.
If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to the packing boxes or their
contents, save the damaged boxes and parts, call the shipper immediately to file a claim,
and notify your authorized service/support center.
•Never alter an existing network without permission.
The ColorPASS will probably be connected to an existing Local Area Network (LAN)
based on Ethernet hardware. The network is the link between the customer’s computer,
existing laser printers, and other prepress equipment. Never disturb the LAN by breaking
or making a network connection, altering termination, installing or removing
networking hardware or software, or shutting down networked devices without the
knowledge and express permission of the system or network administrator or the shop
supervisor.
•Never assign an IP address in ColorPASS Network Setup.
Only the network administrator should assign an IP address to a network device.
Assigning the ColorPASS an incorrect IP address may cause unpredictable errors on any
or all devices connected to the network.
• Always disconnect power before opening the ColorPASS.
•Use care when handling parts of the ColorPASS, as some edges on the unit may be sharp.
For example, be careful when:
•Accessing the DVD drive (keep the drive door closed when not in use)
•Plugging in cables at the back of the unit
•Removing the panels
•Follow standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions while working on the internal
components.
Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the
area around the copier and the ColorPASS is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes,
synthetic clothing fibers, silks, and plastics may generate a static charge of more than
10,000 volts. Static discharge is capable of destroying the circuits etched in silicon
microchips, or dramatically shortening their life span. By observing standard precautions,
you may avoid extra service calls and save the cost of a new board.
When possible, work on a ground-connected antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic
grounding strap, grounded at the same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible:
•Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.
