1.20 CONTROLLER OPTIONS 
1.20.1 OVERVIEW 
This machine has I/F card slots and SD card slots for optional I/F connections and 
applications. 
After you install an option, check that the machine can recognize it (see “Check All 
Connections” at the end of this section). 
 
I/F Card Slots 
ƒ  Slot A is used for the IEEE1394 (FireWire) or USB Host only. 
ƒ  Slot B is used for one of the optional I/F connections (only one can be installed): 
IEEE1284, IEEE802.11 (Wireless LAN), or Bluetooth 
ƒ  Slot C is used for the file format converter only. 
 
ƒ  Only one of these cards (IEEE1284, IEEE802.11, and Bluetooth) can be installed 
at same time in this machine. 
SD Card Slots 
ƒ  Slot 1 is used for the standard printer/scanner application only.  
						

							 
B230/B237 1-64  SM 
ƒ  Slot 2 is used for one of the optional applications: 
PostScript 3, Data Overwrite Security Unit, PictBridge 
ƒ  Slot 3 is used for installing the Browser Unit, or for service only (for example, updating 
the firmware). 
1.20.2  SD CARD APPLI MOVE 
Overview 
The service program “SD Card Appli Move” (SP5-873) lets you copy application programs 
from one SD card to another SD card. 
Slot 1 and Slot 2 are used to store application programs. But there are 3 possible 
applications (PostScript 3, DOS unit, PictBridge). You cannot run application programs 
from Slot 3. However you can move application programs from Slot 3 to either Slot 1 or Slot 
2 with the following procedure (Slot 1 has the priority in this procedure if both Slot 1 and 
Slot 2 are used.): 
Make sure that the target SD card has enough space. 
1.  Enter SP5873 “SD Card Appli Move”.   
2.  Then move the application from the SD Card in Slot 3 to the card in slot 1. 
 
ƒ  Do steps 1-2 again if you want to move another application program. 
3.  Exit the SP mode. 
Be very careful when you do the SD Card Appli Move procedure: 
ƒ  The data necessary for authentication is transferred with the application program from 
an SD card to another SD card. Authentication fails if you try to use the SD card after 
you copy the application program from one card to another card. 
ƒ  Do not use the SD card if it has been used before for other purposes. Normal operation 
is not guaranteed when such an SD card is used. 
 
ƒ  Remove the cover [A] (
  x 2), and then keep the SD card in the place [B] after you  
						

							  
SM 1-65 B230/B237 
Installation 
copy the application program from one card to another card. This is done for the 
following reasons: 
1.  The SD card can be the only proof that the user is licensed to use the application 
program.  
2.  You may need to check the SD card and its data to solve a problem in the future. 
ƒ  You cannot copy PostScript application to another SD card. You have to copy the other 
application (PictBridge, DOS Unit) to the SD card that stores the PostScript 
application. 
Move Exec 
The menu “Move Exec” (SP5-873-001) lets you copy application programs from the original 
SD card to another SD card. 
 
ƒ  Do not turn ON the write protect switch of the system SD card or application SD 
card on the machine. If the write protect switch is ON, a download error (e.g. Error 
Code 44) occurs during a firmware upgrade or application merge. 
1.  Turn the main switch off. 
2.  Make sure that an SD card is in SD Card Slot 1. The application program is 
copied into this SD card. 
3.  Insert the SD card (having stored the application program) in SD Card Slot 3. The 
application program is copied from this SD card. 
4.  Turn the main switch on. 
5.  Start the SP mode. 
6.  Select SP5-873-001 “Move Exec.” 
7.  Follow the messages shown on the operation panel. 
8.  Turn the main switch off. 
9.  Remove the SD card from SD Card Slot 3. 
10.  Turn the main switch on. 
11.  Check that the application programs run normally. 
Undo Exec 
“Undo Exec” (SP5-873-002) lets you copy back application programs from an SD card to 
the original SD card. You can use this program when, for example, you have mistakenly 
copied some programs by using Move Exec (SP5-873-001). 
 
ƒ  Do not turn ON the write protect switch of the system SD card or application SD 
card on the machine. If the write protect switch is ON, a download error (e.g. Error 
Code 44) occurs during a firmware upgrade or application merge.  
						

							 
B230/B237 1-66  SM 
1.  Turn the main switch off. 
2.  Insert the original SD card in SD Card Slot 3. The application program is copied 
back into this card. 
3.  Insert the SD card (having stored the application program) to SD Card Slot 1. 
The application program is copied back from this SD card. 
4.  Turn the main switch on. 
5.  Start the SP mode. 
6.  Select SP5-873-002 “Undo Exec.” 
7.  Follow the messages shown on the operation panel. 
8.  Turn the main switch off. 
9.  Remove the SD card from SD Card Slot 3. 
 
ƒ  This step assumes that the application programs in the SD card are used by 
the machine. 
10.  Turn the main switch on. 
11.  Check that the application programs run normally. 
12.  Make sure that the machine can recognize the option (see ‘Check All 
Connections’ at the end of this section). 
1.20.3 POSTSCRIPT 3 
 
ƒ Unplug the main machine power cord before you do the following 
procedure. 
 
1.  Remove the slot cover [A] from SD card slot 2 (
 x 1). 
2.  Turn the SD-card [B] label face to the rear of the machine. Then push it slowly 
into slot 2 until you hear a click.

3.  Attach the slot cover [A] ( x 1). 
 
4.  Attach the “Adobe PostScript 3” decal [C] to the front door. 
5.  Make sure that the machine can recognize the option (see ‘Check All 
Connections’ at the end of this section). 
1.20.4 FILE FORMAT CONVERTER 
 
ƒ Unplug the main machine power cord before you do the following 
procedure. 
The fax unit (B786) must be installed before installing this unit. This is because the mother 
board that comes with the fax unit is necessary to connect the file format converter inside 
the machine. 
 
1.  Remove the slot cover [A] from I/F card slot C (
 x 2). 
2.  Install the file format converter [B] into I/F card slot C and then fasten it with 
screws.

4.  Check or set the following SP codes with the values shown below. 
 
SP No. Title Setting 
SP5-836-001  Capture Function (0:Off 1:On)  1 
SP5-836-002 Panel Setting  0 
 
5.  Check the operation.   
6.  Make sure that the machine can recognize the option (see ‘Check All 
Connections’ at the end of this section). 
1.20.5 IEEE1394 (FIREWIRE) 
Installation Procedure 
 
ƒ Unplug the main machine power cord before you do the following 
procedure. 
You cannot install the USB host interface at the same time as the IEEE1394 unit. 
 
1.  Remove the slot cover [A] from I/F Card Slot A (
 x 2). 
2.  Install the FireWire board [B] (Knob-screw x 2) into I/F card slot A. 
3.  Make sure that the machine can recognize the option (see ‘Check All 
Connections’ at the end of this section). 
UP Mode Settings for IEEE 1394 
Enter the UP mode. Then do the procedure below to perform the initial interface settings for 
IEEE 1394. These settings take effect every time the machine is powered on.
