6.  Examine the quality of the test pages.  •  All patches should be visible, but it is  acceptable if they are very faint in 
the 5% and 2% ranges. 
•  Each patch set should show uniform  gradation from patch to patch as the 
shade lightens from 100% to 0%. 
•  Poor image quality may indicate that  the copier needs service. For more 
information, see the documentat ion provided with the copier.

NOTE: It is the site administrator’s res ponsibility to configure the correct 
setup options for the network  and user environment. The default 
settings in the setup may be adequate, but they may not be optimal 
for the user’s environment. Refer  the site administrator to the 
Configuration and Setup manual  for setup information. 
7.  After configuring the Setup optio ns, verify the network connection. 
Ask the site administrator to install the printer driver on a client PC, and to

1.22.13 INSTALLING OPTIONAL FEATURES 
Overview 
The system software for the Color Contro ller contains the following optional 
features: 
•  EFI Hot Folders  •  EFI Auto Trap •  EFI Spot On 
Initially, the above three optional functi ons cannot be used. When the customer 
purchases these options, a hardware U SB dongle which includes a license for 
the optional featur e will be provided. 
After the license for the feature is transfe rred to the Color Controller, the dongle 
will be locked to that particular Color Controller (a unique value will be written to 
the dongle).   
•  To transfer the license from  the dongle to the Color Controller, you turn off the 
Color Controller power, connect the dongle, turn on the Color Controller 
power, wait for the Color Controller to  get to the idle condition, then remove 
the dongle. The featur e is now activated
. There is a detailed procedure on the 
next page. 
After this, the same dongle cannot be used on another Color Controller, unless 
the license is first removed  from the original Color Controller using that dongle. 
(You must use the same dongle.)   
•  To remove the license fr om the Color Controller, do exactly the same 
procedure that you use when you transfer  the license from the dongle to the 
Color Controller. This deactivates
 the feature. 
When the feature is removed from the  original Color Controller, the unique 
value will be removed from the dongle.  The dongle can now be used on another 
Color Controller. 
If a dongle that has already a unique value (had its unit ID locked to a Color 
Controller) is inserted into another Color Controller unit, the dongle \
will have no 
effect. 
Rev. 04/2008 
						

							 
B230/B237/D042 1-104 SM 
 
The number of times the license can be removed from the Color Controller is 
limited as shown in the table below. (Act ivate 4 times and deactivate 3 times.) 
When this limit is reached, the dongle c an no longer be used to remove the 
license, so the license will st ay on the Color Controller. If a dongle is inserted to 
remove a feature but the limit has  been reached, there will be no effect.

Activate / Deactivate An Optional Feature Using A Dongle 
The optional feature dongle can be used to  either activate or deactivate a 
feature. The operation for both of these  procedures is exactly the same, and the 
successful activation or deactivation can be confirmed by printing the 
configuration page. 
The purpose of the ability to remove t he license (deactivation) is to handle 
cases where the license was accident ally installed on the wrong Color 
Controller unit. 
Immediately after the Color Controller  main power is turned on or the Color 
Controller is rebooted, the Color Controller checks for the presence of the 
feature activation dongle. 
1.  Print the configuration sheet  of the Color Controller. (
 G889 SM Section 
2.3) 
2.  With the configuration sheet, check t he condition of the optional feature that 
you will activate/deactivate. (If activa ted, the option name will appear on the 
configuration sheet.)

Installation 
 
3.  Shut down the Color Controller and turn the power of the Color Controller 
OFF. ( 
 G889 SM Section 2.1.3) 
4.  Insert the dongle in the left USB port.    (There are three USB ports in the back p anel of the Color Controller. Insert 
the dongle to the left USB port.) 
5.  Make sure that the copier  main power is already ON. 
6.  Turn the power switch of the Color Controller ON. 
7.  Wait for the Color Controller to come to the idle status.  During this startup sequence,  the optional feature will be 
activated/deactivated. 
 
NOTE:  1) If the Color Controller already has 
a particular feature activated, and 
a new dongle for the same feature is  inserted, the license will not be 
affected and the new dongle will remain active. 
2) If the Color Controller already has  a particular feature activated and 
the matching dongle is inserted, t he feature will be removed, and the 
dongle can then be re-used on another Color Controller unit. 
 
8.  Remove the dongle from the USB port. 
 
 
Do not forget to remove the dongle at this time. 
If you leave the dongle in the USB port  and the Color Controller main power 
is restarted or the Color Controller is  rebooted, then the condition of the 
optional feature will be reversed. (For exampl e, if you wanted to activate the 
feature, it is now deacti vated.) The only exception is that after you activate a 
feature for the 4
th time, it cannot be deactivated. 
 
9.  Print a configuration sheet ( 
 G889 SM Section 2.1.3). 
10. On the configuration sheet, che ck if the desired optional feature is 
activated/deactivated. (If activated,  the option name will appear on the 
configuration sheet.)

B230/B237/D042 1-106 SM 
If you have activated an optional feature, keep the configuration sheet. You 
may need it later for troubleshooting pur poses, as shown in the following 
caution. 
 
 
After an optional feature has been  activated, the optional feature license 
information is kept inside the ACT ch ip on the video board of the Color 
Controller.  
If the ACT chip becomes defective, the  following are needed as evidence in 
order to get a new ACT chip and optional feature dongle: 
• The defective ACT chip   
•  The configuration sheet that shows  that the defective ACT chip had 
the optional feature license installed.   
Therefore, always print a configurati on sheet and keep it when you activate 
a new optional feature on the Color Controller. 
 
11. 3 tags with 6 labels are attached to each 
optional feature dongle. 
 
a) 
Optional Feature Name:  Printed  
b) Optional dongle serial number:  Printed 
c) Installed Controller Model Name:  Blank 
d) Installed Controller Serial Number:  Blank 
e) 4 check boxes for Activation:  Not checked 
f) 3 check boxes for Deactivation:  Not checked 
 
For the labels c) to f), you  can fill in the related information or check the boxes, if 
you want to keep a record of the status of each dongle
