2.1 General
2.1.1 Configuration
The printer uses the MINOLTA-QMS magicolor 3100 Diagnostics (Hanabi Service Commander) to set/
execute diagnostic functions. The system configuration as shown in the figure below, is needed to run the
magicolor 3100 Diagnostics (application software) on the personal computer.
Reference: The diagnostic tools needed are as follows:
• DIAG PWB (board)
• magicolor 3100 Diagnostics (Hanabi Service Commander) CD
• RS-232C cable (D-Sub 9 pins)
• Personal Computer
Reference: The DIAG PWB, RS-232C cable, personal computer, and MINOLTA-QMS magicolor 3100
Diagnostic (Hanabi Service Commander) used to execute the diagnostics are altogether
called diagnostic tools (maintenance tools).
2.1.2 General description of the magicolor 3100 Diagnostics (Hanabi Service Commander)
The magicolor 3100 Diagnostics (Hanabi Service Commander) sends and receives the data (commands
and statuses) transferred between the personal computer, DIAG PWB and PWBA HNB MCU instead of the
printer controller to the PWBA HNB MCU.
2.1.3 General description of DIAG PWB
The following parts are mounted on the board:
• Connector for PWBA HNB MCU connection
• RS-232C cable connector (D-Sub 9 pins)
• DIP switch (for RS-232C cross/straight switching)
• Switch (for test print)
The switch for a test print is equivalent to the test print for a standalone printer.
