- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page vi 38 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction The K40D series printer is an improved version of Kentek's successful K30 printer. It offers improvements in controller cost and performance, ease of use, and serviceability. All specifications are subject to change without warning. NOTE - UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ARE INDICATED IN BOLD/ITALIC FONT 1.1 K40D ENHANCEMENT SUMMARY The K40D represents significant enhancements over the K30 product line. These include: - 40 page per minute process speed - New operator panel with multi-line textual LCD display - Supply serialization support - Increased supply life - AVPCL replaces PCL card for engine control - Provides consistent video interface across product line - Capable of data rates for 240, 300, 400, 480, and 600 dpi (not all supported) - Two line voltage configurations - Use of DC drive motor eliminates line frequency dependence - Uniform safety certification - New controller family (RIGS) - Higher performance, common RISC processor family - FlexIO cards for flexible host attachment - New rear cover for I/O card access - Virtual printing technology - Bi-directional communication for printer management - Hard disk included standard - Duplex operation standard - Better cooling through new fans and ducts - Ozone and toner filter improves local environment - Better EMI via new controller enclosure 1.2 PHASED RELEASED PLAN The K40D will be released in phases, with additional functionality added at each release. This approach will help ensure a successful product introduction in the desired time frame with minimal risks. A base level of functionality will be defined for the initial release, with enhancements defined for each subsequent release. A key requirement for this phased approach is that enhancements be downward compatible with previous releases and accomplished through software-only upgrades without the need for hardware modifications or significant Customer Engineer intervention. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 1 39 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.3 RELATED DOCUMENTS The following documents are listed for reference and provide additional detailed information on the K40D printer, components and development.

Printer Description 2.1 OVERVIEW K40D is a 40 page per minute electrophotographic non-impact printer designed for high-volume single-user printing and departmental and network printing. K40D supports these uses with high quality printing on a wide range of paper sizes in both simplex and duplex mode. The K40D will be offered with duplex operation as a standard feature. The K40D shares the time-proven K30 LED engine design that provides significant advantages: Ease of Operation and Maintenance - All Kentek printers are designed with a straight through paper path for jam resistance and easy access to clear an occasional jam. In addition, the frames and covers have been designed for easy access for supply replacement and maintenance. LED Printhead - The light emitting diode printhead results in a clear, sharp, high resolution image that is uniform across the page. Wide Variety of Paper Sizes - K40D prints on overhead projection foils and card stock (including pre-punched dividers) as well as a wide range of paper weights. Duplex Capability - The K40D prints duplex pages (two sides) at 40 images per minute or 20 pages per minute. Output is delivered face down in sequential order in either "tumble" or left margin bind format without using complex paper rotation hardware. The result is a duplex paper path that is resistant to jams and is easy to clear. The K40D printer is available in two configurations, depending on customer needs: Print Engine - all electromechanical and electrophotographic subassemblies, power supplies, frame, engine controller with video interface (AVPCL), and covers; configured and packaged for integration with an OEM customer's control unit and control panel. Kentek's control panel is available in this configuration if desired. Also included are a developer unit, fuser, photoconductor, cleaner unit, developer mix, and one toner cartridge. The main body of this document describes the print engine. The control panel is described in detail later in this specification. Standard Printer - the Print Engine integrated with a Kentek controller, engine controller (AVPCL) and control panel (also called an Attached Printer). This product is provided ready to ship to the end user. Customer documentation is provided by Kentek unless requested otherwise. Two different performance controllers are available; controllers are elsewhere in this document. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 4 42 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2 BASIC PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS The following specifications apply to the basic K40D print engine.

Older K30 Stackers are not compatible with K40D. The 1200 Sheet Feeder is not planned to be tested and supported on K40D. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 7 45 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.5.2 PRINTER CABINET The standard Kentek printer cabinet supports the K40D printer as well as the K30. The use of the 2500 Sheet Feeder requires the use of the updated cabinet with lower sliding shelf. 2.6 PRINTER ACCESS This section is a short overview of accessing the paper path and replacing user-serviceable parts. For more detailed information on printer installation and service, please see the appropriate manuals listed in the Customer Documentation section. Refer to Figure 2-1: K40D Overview, for location of covers and latches. Paper cassettes are released by pushing down on the upper or lower release levers. To install a cassette, push it into the appropriate port (cover hinge away from printer) until it latches. The paper path is completely accessible by opening the top cover. To open the cover, squeeze the top cover release latch and lift upward until fully open. The cover will remain open by means of a gas spring. [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 2-1: K40D OVERVIEW Kentek printers have a unique jam recovery feature in which each page's bit map is saved until the page is in the output hopper, permitting automatic reprinting of the page in the event of a jam. If a jam occurs, the operator panel indicates the location of the jam. The jam code location indicator label will continue to provided under the top cover for reference. To open the upper paper guide, pull up on the blue release lever and open the guide to the left. The lower paper guide is underneath and swings upward to the left. To release fuser pressure, move the blue release knob to the left. These are the only three operations required to clear paper jams. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 8 46 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 2-2: K40D TOP COVER ACCESS The photoconductor unit and fuser are accessible under the top cover- see Figure 2-2: K40D Top Cover Access. To remove the fuser, loosen the two fuser thumbscrews by twisting counterclockwise, then grasp the fuser handle and lift straight up. The installation procedure is the reverse of the removal procedure. To remove the PC unit, open the upper paper guide, lift the PC handle to the vertical position, and pull the PC unit straight upward until clear of the printer. To replace the PC unit, unpack it and remove all packing material, hold the unit with the arrow on the handle pointing to the rear of the printer, and lower into the printer making sure it is seated in the guide rails. A click will be heard when the unit is seated. The PC should be shielded from ambient light when removed from the printer. The transfer corona is replaced by grasping the old charger in the upper paper guide and pulling it straight out. The new corona is inserted in the charger slot and pushed in until seated. The disk drives, toner, developer, and cleaner unit are accessible behind the front cover as shown in Figure 2-3: K40D Front Cover Access. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 9 47 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 2-3: K40D FRONT COVER ACCESS To replace the toner cartridge, twist the old cartridge counterclockwise until the handle is level and pull out the cartridge. Remove the new cartridge from its packaging, holding it so that the seal is on top. Shake the cartridge, then rock from side to side to level the contents. Insert the cartridge into the developer and, holding the cartridge in place, remove the toner seal. Twist the cartridge clockwise until fully tightened. To remove the developer, cleaner, or main charger units, first remove the PC unit. To remove the developer, loosen the developer thumbscrew by rotating counterclockwise until free. Grasp the developer handle and pull the developer outward until free. The developer unit is somewhat heavy; please use both hands. To remove the cleaner unit, loosen its thumbscrew, then grasp the cleaner unit handle and pull straight out. The main charger resides in the cleaner unit and is removed by moving the charger handle slightly to the right and pulling straight out. To install any of these three units, reverse the removal procedure. All of the printer Supplies are customer replaceable using the procedures above. Some additional printer cleaning may be performed periodically by the customer. No additional maintenance is required unless a tune up is required after a million prints or longer. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 10 48 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

U:Upper, L:Lower, S: Simplex, D:Duplex * Transparencies and card stock must be fed from the upper cassette only. 3.1.2 MEDIA WEIGHT AND GRAIN DIRECTION Media for use in a printer is manufactured and identified by its basis weight. In the U.S., it is the weight in pounds (lb.) of one 500-sheet ream in the basic sheet size for that grade or type of media. There are two different standard sheet sizes used in the calculation of basis weight. The first is a bond-basis sheet size of 17" x 22" which is used for bond-type papers. The second is an index-basis sheet size of 25.5" x 30.5" which is used for card stock. In the metric system, basis weight is the weight of 1 square meter of media expressed in grams per square meter (g/m2). The printer will print on the following media: TABLE 3-2 MEDIA WEIGHT
----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- ------------- SIZE WEIGHT MODE ----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- ------------- Cut Sheet All 60 - 90 g/m2 (16 - 24 lb. bond) Simplex ----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- ------------- Cut Sheet All except B5 70 - 90 g/m2 (19 - 24 lb. bond) Duplex & Executive ----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- ------------- Card Stock All except B5 94 - 170 g/m2 (50 - 90 lb. index, Simplex & Executive 25 - 45 lb. bond) ----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- ------------- Label Sheets Letter, A4 120 - 160 g/m2 (32 - 42 lb. bond) Simplex ----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- ------------- Transparencies Letter, A4 170 - 225 g/m2 (45 - 60 lb. bond) Simplex ----------------- --------------- -------------------------------------- -------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 11 49 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The recommended grain direction for all sizes to avoid curl at the output stacker is aligned along long side (T). Recommended paper types include, but are not necessarily limited to, Xerox 4024, Komine, Hammermill Bond, and IBM MSP papers. 3.1.3 TRANSPARENCIES Transparencies used in the printer should meet the following specifications: TABLE 3-3 TRANSPARENCIES SPECIFICATIONS

Each input will have a user adjustable paper pick mechanism to simplify the use of non-standard media. The pick pressure adjustments are behind the front cover. 3.3 STANDARD OUTPUT UNIT 3.3.1 DESCRIPTION The standard output unit stacks paper face down in sequential order. Paper is stacked uniformly allowing for paper removal without re-stacking. The output unit will detect a hopper full condition and signal the controller. The standard output capacity is 550 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb.) paper with a job offset shift of 12 +-3 mm 3.3.2 JOB OFFSET PERFORMANCE The standard output unit does not provide jogging capability on the K40D. Jogging is supported on the optional High Capacity Output however - refer to section 7.3 for more details. 3.4 ENGINE THROUGHPUT The print engine is designed to print paper at: Simplex 40 sheets/minute Duplex 40 images/minute Performance (achieved throughput) is primarily a function of the controller and the host data stream. Specific performance will depend on either the OEM specified controller or on Kentek's attached printer controller performance specification (refer to the RIGS Controller section). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 13 51 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.5 RELIABILITY 3.5.1 RATED DUTY CYCLE The K40D engine duty cycle is rated as follows: Engine Life 9.0 million images Standard duty cycle 150,000 images per month High usage duty cycle 300,000 images per month The standard duty cycle is defined as the engine life spread over a five year installed period yielding 150,000 images per month. The printer is capable of 100% duty cycle usage so theoretically the printer will support any duty cycle. A reasonable compromise between supply usage and duty cycle is 300,000 images per month. The printer has been tested at the high usage duty cycle. Use of the tune-up kit after approximately each one million prints may be required to maintain paper path reliability over the full rated life. 3.5.2 POWER ON HOURS The engine is rated for 36,000 lifetime power-on hours. Averaged over five years, this results in an average of 600 power-on hours per month. In a typical usage environment, the expected average is 220 power-on hours per month (10 hours/day for 22 days/month). 3.5.3 PAPER PATH RELIABILITY The paper path reliability is defined in terms of "interventions" in a given number of prints. "Intervention error" shall mean a condition requiring that an operator perform a recovery action, including but not limited to: - Misfeeds from the cassette - Jams in the paper path - Mis-stacking in exit tray For the following media a maximum of 1 intervention is allowed in the listed number of prints for each paper type in the recommended and operational environments. Standard papers includes Xerox 4024, Komine, Hammermill Bond, and IBM MSP papers. TABLE 3-6 PAPER PATH RELIABILITY

3.5.4 MISCELLANEOUS MEDIA DAMAGE Single or combined defects in the output tray (also called "non-intervention defects"), when using 75 g/m2 bond paper, shall not exceed one in 1500 sheets in the recommended operating environment, or one in 750 for the operational environment, for multi-sheet feeds, bent corners, torn pages, wrinkles, or other physical damage. Single or combined defects in the output hopper for envelopes, labels, and transparencies, shall not exceed one in 30 sheets for the best operating environment or in 15 sheets for the operational environment. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 14 52 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.5.5 MEAN TIME BETWEEN FAILURES The MTBF, based on power-on hours (section 3.5.2) and duty cycle, is as follows: High Usage: [ ] hours [ ] months Typical Usage: [ ] hours [ ] months The mean time between critical equipment failure can be calculated (MIL STD 217E) for specific duty cycles and power-on hours by: MTBF = 1/Lambda Lambda = (DF x LambdaP) + LambdaNP where: DF = Duty Factor = printing hours / power on hours High usage = 100% Typical = 9.47% 20.83 hours/month printing (for 50,000 images/mo.), divided by 220 power-on hours (22 days/month, 10 hours/day) LambdaP = Printing only failures/hour = [ ] LambdaNP = Non-printing and printing failures/hour = [ ] Lambda = Intrinsic failure rate MTBF = Mean time between failures in hours Mean Pages between Failures (MPBF) can be found by taking the calculated MTBF for a given duty factor and multiplying it by the number of images/mo. at that assumed duty factor. For example, at the typical duty factor assumed above, the MPBF would be ([ ] image/mo.) x ([ ] mo.) = [ ] images. Failure rates do not include Supplies, which are customer replaceable. 3.5.6 MEAN TIME TO REPAIR Mean time to repair most failures is less than 30 minutes. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 15 53 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Kentek RIGS Controller Specifications 4.1 CONTROLLER MODELS The RIGS controller will be available in two models, the RIGS-I+ (replacing the RIGS-I), or Standard Controller, and the RIGS-II, or High Performance controller. The choice of controller will depend upon processing power requirements. The Standard Controller is designed to have more than adequate power to drive the printer at rated speed while using the standard printer data streams. It has the following features: Microprocessor: IDT 3081, 25 Mhz. (replacing the original 20 Mhz. 3051) Control and Bit Map RAM: 12 MB standard, 64 MB max. Floating point coprocessor: Internal Resolution capability: 240, 300, 400, 480, 600 dpi
The High Performance Controller is designed to have more than adequate power to drive the printer at rated speed while using page description languages such as PostScript. It has the following features: Microprocessor: IDT 3081, 50 MHz. Control and Bit Map RAM: 16 MB standard, 64 MB max. Floating point coprocessor: Internal Resolution capability: 240, 300, 400, 480, 600 dpi
Resolution is a function of both the print head and the controller. All five resolutions listed above are possible on the K40D, though not all will necessarily be productized. Standard base memory sizes are Kentek's planned configurations for generic printers - OEM's may choose other base memory sizes. 4.2 PERFORMANCE Performance (achieved throughput) depends on the print data, data stream, and communications attachment, making it difficult to give an exact performance specification. The required throughput for full speed printing at 40 ppm is shown below. Pages/sec.: .6667 Characters/page 13.4K Image bytes/page 1.05M Character throughput 8.9 characters/sec. Image throughput 700 KB/sec.
Throughput estimates assume no communication overhead is involved and no engine and safe mode (error recovery) delays. TABLE 4-1 ESTIMATED THROUGHPUT AT 300 DPI (THOUSAND OR MILLION BYTES PER SECOND)

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 16 54 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These estimates are meant as a relative guide to performance; actual performance may vary depending on installation and usage. Also, Kentek continually increases the performance of its emulations through compiler improvements and code improvements. 4.3 MEMORY Unlike the K30, K40D memory is not segmented into display and program memory. Total RIGS RAM memory consists of memory soldered on the controller board and additional memory added via expansion slots. There are two sets of SIMM expansion slots, A and B, each of which hold 2 SIMM modules. For reference, Slot A is comprised of memory sockets SIMM2 and SIMM3 (as silkscreened on the board) and Slot B is SIMM4 and SIMM5. SIMM's are standard 72 pin, 32-bit (no parity) configurations. SIMM modules with parity (36 bit) can be used, though the parity bits are not used. Several general rules apply to adding SIMM memory. Memory is interleaved: SIMM's must be added in pairs. Also, if a double-sided module (or a single single-sided module that uses two chip-select signals) is used in Slot A, Slot B is not usable. Either controller model will handle the following memory configurations. Although a variety of configurations is possible, only those that indicate "Supported" are supported and tested in software.

DS = Double-sided SIMM (double-sided can only go in slot A) Note that the last two combinations only result in a usable 64MB of memory, not 72MB. Newer RIGS boards allow either soldered-on base memory or an additional set of SIMM sockets that would allow customers to take a printer with no memory and add their own SIMM's. The following memory vendors have been approved for use on K40D. These are provided for reference and should be verified before using. 2 MB SIMM (512K x 32) -------------------- Century 32512S-07M 4 MB SIMM (1M x 32) -------------------- Marco SA584132-70G 8 MB SIMM (2M x 32) -------------------- Marco GS584232-70G Marco MR584232-70G 16 MB SIMM (4M x 32) -------------------- Marco SA5843216-70G 32 MB SIMM (8M x 32) -------------------- Marco SA5883216-70G - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 17 55 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.4 INTERNAL DISK STORAGE The controller has a floppy disk controller for diskette software upgrades and maintenance, and a SCSI interface to support hard disks. The standard K40D storage configuration will be: Floppy Diskettes 3.5", 1.44 MB (formatted) Hard disk 3.5", 170 MB (size subject to change) Kentek floppy file format is non-standard, requiring the use of Kentek disk utilities for file operations. The K40D floppy format is not the same as used on the K30. The SCSI bus is capable of 5 Megabytes/second burst and approximately TBD MB/sec. sustained throughput. Currently, Kentek supports the following Quantum ProDrive Low Profile series of hard disks: 170 S 170 MB formatted (ProDrive ELS) 240 AT/S 240 MB formatted 540 MB 540 MB formatter Kentek currently stocks the 540 MB hard disk, but this is subject to change as disk drive sizes continue to evolve. To install other hard disks, a hard disk installation kit is available. The other hard disk models are readily available from commercial suppliers. 4.5 FLEXIO I/O The K40D implements a modular approach for support of host communication interfaces. Communication functions are packaged on modular cards that plug into the RIGS controller motherboard. This approach allows new interfaces to be developed independent of the RIGS controller and for multiple types of connections to be supported by the K40D. Kentek calls this approach to communication interfaces FlexIO, though it is also known as modular I/O or MIO. Refer to the Kentek Modular I/O Specifications for more details. 4.5.1 HOST INTERFACES The printer connects to a host through an interface card attached to the controller with communications connectors at the rear of the printer. Power to the interface card is provided by the controller connector. Up to two interface cards may be added.

Schedule priority 1 implies availability with initial release. Schedules are subject to change without warning. ASCII data streams include PCL5, and PostScript. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 18 56 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.5.2 PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS I/O cards plug in to the controller from the rear of the printer. There is room for two cards, side by side, overlapping the RIGS controller from the rear. The slot on the left, as seen from the rear of the printer, is designated as Slot A and the slot on the right is Slot B. The I/O connectors will face to the rear so that cables exit directly to the rear of the printer. When designing the cards, the designer must take in to account the clearance required when the rear cover is opened. Size of the I/O cards is 170 x 204 mm. [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 4-1: FLEXIO LOCATION - TOP VIEW [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 4-2: FLEXIO LOCATION - LEFT SIDE VIEW 4.5.3 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE The connector is a 96 pin DIN, Type R female connector conforming to DIN 41612 specifications. ELCO part number 20-8477-096-002-025 meets requirements. Detailed electrical, signal, and mechanical specifications are described in Kentek Modular I/O Specifications. 4.5.4 MULTIPLE ATTACHMENTS When two I/O cards are installed, both interface cards may be active simultaneously, supporting up to 3 communications channels simultaneously. A channel refers to a physical connection and data stream - a single modular card can have multiple channels on it. For example, the Direct-Attach card supports both serial and parallel interfaces - if both are being used, this would consume 2 of the 3 total available channels. On the other hand, the Ethernet card will be capable of being configured as multiple IP address and appear on the network as multiple virtual printers, but has only one physical connection and therefore only counts as one channel . - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 19 57 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When no job is active, the controller will poll both interfaces for the next job. When the data stream has a definite end-of-job delimiter, the controller will not switch interfaces until the end of job is reached. Otherwise, the controller will poll the other interface when the attachment time-out has elapsed. The attachment time-out parameter is set in soft configuration mode. Default Attachment Time-out (for multiple attachments) 60 seconds 4.5.5 NET-ATTACH CARD The Ethernet FlexIO card interfaces directly to the K40D bus, unlike the K30 which interfaced through an RS-422 port. The Ethernet card will have 3 connectors on it: 10baseT (twisted pair) 10base2 (ThinNet) 10base5 (AUI) Only one connector will be active at a time. Active connector will automatically be sensed by software. REMAINING SPECS TBD. 4.5.6 DIRECT-ATTACH CARD The Direct-Attach card is intended for use in non-networked personal computer environments. It will contain a both a serial and parallel interface: RS-232 Serial DB-25 IEEE 1284-B Centronics style connector (36 pin) The RS-232 and parallel connectors may be active simultaneously. Connector pinouts are given in the following sections. The K40D supports dual Direct-Attach cards with some limitations. The first is that only 3 of the 4 possible connections (2 serial, 2 parallel) are usable simultaneously. By definition, two parallel ports and a single serial port are supported. Dual serial ports are not supported. From a user viewpoint, the two possible parallel ports will be identified as Parallel A and Parallel B, corresponding to the FlexIO card slot locations. SUPPORT FOR DATAPRODUCTS PARALLEL IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE DIRECT-ATTACH CARD AT THIS TIME, THOUGH PROVISIONS ARE ON THE CARD FOR INCLUDING THIS INTERFACE AT A LATER TIME. 4.5.6.1 RS-232 CONNECTOR Connector type: DB 25 (printer female) Signal levels and functions are described in detail in the EIA Standard RS-232-C. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 20 58 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TABLE 4-3 RS-232 PINOUT

The Dataproducts and Centronics parallel connections share a single data path and are not simultaneously usable. Ready - A printer generated signal which indicates that the printer is ready. READY is true only when the following is true: - Power and DC voltage are on. - All interlocks are closed. - Paper has been loaded. - No printer fault exists. - No error status on display. On-line - A printer generated signal which indicates that the printer will accept data. Online is active only when the following is true: - No error status on display. - The printer is ready to accept data from the host. Demand - A printer generated signal which synchronizes data transmission between the printer and the host system. When the printer is READY and ONLINE the DEMAND signal requests a character from the host. DEMAND remains active until the STROBE is received and after the data character has been loaded into the printer. This cycle starts over again for the next character. Strobe - A host generated signal which defines when information on the data lines is stable and may be stored in the printer buffer. Each time a STROBE occurs, the printer samples the data lines. After the data lines have been sampled, the DEMAND signal will go inactive. Data lines - Host generated data lines carry print data codes and format control codes. Data is only valid when the STROBE signal is active. Parity - A host generated signal the checks the parity of data or data and PI line. (not implemented) Buffer Clear - A host generated signal clears the printer buffer when active. (not implemented) Line(s) only used with line printer emulation: Paper Instruction (PI) - bit used to enable vertical forms table definition and movement Printer generated lines that maintain one state (these signals have no meaning on the Kentek printer but will be generated to satisfy host's needs): PERR - parity error ID0 - Printer identification bit 0 ID1 - Printer identification bit 1 TOF - Top of form BOF - Bottom of form VFURDY - VFU ready VFU VERIFY - VFU Verify PINOUT FOR THE DATAPRODUCTS INTERFACE IS REQUIRED. 4.6 DATA STREAMS AND PDLS The standard emulations for K40D is PCL5 (including PCL4 support as defined by PCL5). PostScript is optionally available. Refer to the RIGS Software Specification for details. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 23 61 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Third-Party RIP Controller Interface This section provides physical and electrical information that can be used by a third-party to design an alternative RIP controller for the K40D, in place of the RIGS controller. Since a third-party controller would have to interface to the rest of the printer in a similar manner to the RIGS controller, RIGS physical layout and electrical connections are presented here. These should aid a third-party's development efforts. 5.1 OVERVIEW K40D will use the AVPCL (Advanced Video Printer Control Logic) board for engine control. The video interface to the OEM controller are defined in Kentek K40D Video Input Interface Specification. The AVPCL will be approximately the same size as the PCL in the K30. Performance (achieved printer throughput) is a function of the capabilities of the OEM controller. The AVPCL drives the printer at a 40 page per minute process speed and feeds pages on command from the OEM controller. The AVPCL will include a serial interface (IIC) to paper output handling equipment such as sorters. This interface will share the current HCO connector. The AVPCL will also support the concept of supply serialization. Upon installation of a serialized supply, the AVPCL will log in NVRAM and report to the controller the serial number, print count, date, and time. The AVPCL will not support installation of unserialized supplies. The developer toner control system has been modified from K30 to include more intelligent processing on the AVPCL board. Toner density will be controllable from the operator panel. Thus, the K40D developers are not backwards compatible with K30 printers. 5.2 PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS The RIGS controller outline is shown below. Minor variation is possible; contact Kentek engineering for details. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 24 62 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 5-1: RIGS LAYOUT 5.3 CONNECTORS There are a number of connectors on the RIGS controller which attach to other components in the system: TABLE 5-1 RIGS CONNECTORS

Flashing during machine check condition. IN PROCESS Active when the printer is receiving data, executing datastream instructions, or printing. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 31 69 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.4 LCD DISPLAY The LCD display has 4 lines of 20 characters each and serves as a primary interface between the printer and the user. The display can be used for following functions: - indicates the size of the paper when a cassette is inserted - displays printer status such as warming up, online, and job in process - displays printer error messages and error codes such as paper out, toner out, jam, and machine check - serves as a copy counter for multiple copy printing - displays menu options in normal, configuration, and diagnostics mode Up to eight special characters may be uploaded to the display by the controller. The display is also Kana-capable for display of Japanese characters. 6.5 ALARM The alarm sounds whenever an indicator lights or during a system malfunction. A short half-second beep indicates good status and a three second alarm indicates an error. The alarm volume dial is located on the right side of the control panel and is accessible by opening the front cover. 6.6 MECHANICAL DATA The operator panel is mechanically interchangeable with the existing K30 operator panel. Electrical connections are quite different. 6.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Either one of two separate data connections may be used: on the primary connection, the signals and signal timing comply with the Signetics/Phillips IIC bus; on the secondary connection, RS-422 differential levels and asynchronous data protocol are used with eight data bits, one stop bit, no parity, and 9600 baud. The standard printer is cabled only for IIC. The RS-422 cable must be installed separately when used by OEM controllers. TABLE 6-1 RS-422 PIN ASSIGNMENTS

SUPPLIES As part of the K40D program, a number of changes are being implemented in the Supplies area. These include the implementation of serialization for the developer and photoconductor assemblies and new designs for the fuser. Significant effort is being put into extended the yield of all supplies except toner. The result is a new line or supplies called "XL" for Extended Life. The K40D will also be configured such that supplies are no longer inserted into the printer prior to shipment from Japan (or other Kentek facilities). Instead, they will be contained in a separate `Starter Kit.' The Starter Kit carton will be designed with the same foot print as the printer carton, allowing the two to be strapped together for shipment to the end-user. 8.1 SERIALIZATION The major enhancement for K40D is support for the use of serialized supplies. Initially, the developer and photoconductor will support this feature. Each of these assemblies will include a computer-readable serial number tag. The printer AVPCL reads the unique electronic serial number of each serialized supply after power up, after a cover is opened or closed and at periodic intervals during power-on. If the serial number has been changed, the date and time of the change, the usage count, and the new serial number will be logged to non-volatile RAM on the AVPCL and to the printer's hard disk. This information will be accessible from the front panel so that customers or service personnel may inspect it. Also, the printer displays warning messages on the operator panel as a supply approaches its rated life and once the rated life has been exceeded. Supplies with this serialization and counter capability are also known as `SmartSupplies'. The serializer chip has enough memory (battery backed-up) to contain a number of fields of information. Information stored in the supply's memory includes a serial number, a printer-compatibility code, a supply-compatibility code (to determine compatibility between the developer and photoconductor), factory-set life limits in both cycles and images, and variable fields for current cycle and image counts. The AVPCL reads and writes serializer information and RIGS software code interprets and presents it to the user. Because supplies, especially PC frames, are often swapped between printers, the usage count is stored in non-volatile RAM on the supply. This count will be the one used to determine the life of the supply. In order to ensure that this enhanced functionality is operable, non-serialized supplies (developers and photoconductors) will not be supported in K40D. The table below describes which supplies will support serialization and K30/K31 compatibility. TABLE 8-1 SUPPLY COMPATIBILITY

These supplies and their receptors provide convenient access and replacement, positive installation, and contamination free replenishment. Supply life is a factor of many variables and the following expected life figures are subject to a number of qualifiers as defined below and should be averaged over a number a number of supplies, not on an individual basis. All expected life figures are calculated for an average print coverage of 4% and duty cycle of 80%. Higher average coverage will decrease yields for all supplies.

8.2.1 TONER YIELDS Toner density will be controllable from the operator panel, with the operator being able to select several settings above and below a nominal state. A K40D developer will be shipped with the density setting in the nominal position. Those customers wishing to increase image density in graphics applications may change the developer to a darker setting with possibly a decrease in toner yield. The user can also adjust the setting to a lighter setting, resulting in lighter image and lower toner usage. Toner yield was measured experimentally for primarily text pages at 4% coverage. Yield varies with the type of coverage (thin lines and text use more toner than large fill areas) and environment (image density decreases in hot/dry conditions). This yield variation is different for the K toner used in K40D/K30 than previous Kentek toners, so customers may experience different yields between K40D and older printers in the same environment. The increase in toner usage for thin line features is caused primarily by the fact that each pixel is round and approximately 50% larger in diameter than the rectangular addressed area, so that pixels completely fill the rectangle area and overlap each other on the top and bottom and each side. All printer using round pixels (laser or LED) will experience this phenomenon. Additional variance is caused by electrostatic effects. 8.2.2 PHOTOCONDUCTOR AND DEVELOPER YIELDS Photoconductor and Developer life is determined by the number of cycles (rotations) of the photoconductor belt. The number of cycles the photoconductor goes through is generally higher than the number of images printed. This is due to the fact that the printer cycles several times prior to printing the first page and also needs to cycle periodically during periods of printer inactivity. Because components wear corresponding to the number of machine cycles rather than the actual number of images printed, yields for all supplies (other than toner) assume at least an 80% duty cycle (images/cycles). The table above shows expected lives in both images and cycles. Supply life is specified as meeting either the maximum image or cycle count, whichever one comes first. Thus, in a low duty cycle environment where the printer is not used fairly continuously or most print jobs are short, consisting of only a page or two, the maximum cycle life will be reached well before the maximum image count. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 41 79 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other factors that impact supply life include image density and coverage, and media type. Expected life figures are based on the use of standard paper that meets or exceeds the media specifications defined in section 3. Other media, such as envelopes for example, will lower the life considerably. Life is also limited by shelf life. For example, items such as photoconductors fatigue after installation even if the printer is not used. Refer to section 8.3 for more details. Use of non Kentek-approved third-party ("clone") supplies will invalidate the printer and any supply warranties. 8.3 STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE The following are recommended maximum shelf lives for unopened supplies. Weights shown are approximate and include packaging.

Toner and developer shelf life depend on storage temperature; see section 13.2 for details. 8.4 TONER CARTRIDGE COMPATIBILITY K40D uses the same toner ("K" toner) as K30. The toner in K40D may be incompatible with the toner used in some older printers. For this reason, interlock tabs have been added to the toner cartridges with matching slots in the developer as shown below. In this way, the customer is assured that the toners cannot be intermixed. [GRAPHIC] FIGURE 8-1: TONER LOCKOUTS (EXAGGERATED FOR CLARITY) Toner and developers are also color coded with small labels on the front of each: o Yellow - A toner (IBM, some K3/K4) o Blue - C toner (K3/K4) o Red - K toner (K30/K31/K40D, IBM 3930) o Green - MICR toner (K31) MICR TONER IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT ON THE K31 AND MAY BE SUPPORTED BY K40D - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 42 80 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. DOCUMENTATION 9.1 USER MANUALS Significant changes are required for K40D printers. As part of the required documentation effort, the manuals are being restructured to be more modular. The traditional Guide to Operations is being split into a User's Guide and a Reference Guide. A pocket attached to the rear cover of the printer will be capable of holding the manuals. User's Guide (p/n 81250001 - Phase 0 software, 90000028 - Phase 2 software) Shipped with each standard K40D printer. The Users Guide teaches the printer operator how to operate the printer, load paper and media, troubleshoot basic printer problems such as clearing paper jams and replacing printer toner. Reference Guide (p/n 81250004 - Phase 0 software, 90000027 - Phase 2 software) Shipped with each standard K40D printer. The Reference Guide is a reference resource provides an overview of the printer's components, outlines power and operating environment requirements, lists error codes, and provides all instructions necessary to properly install and configure the printer, run test prints, replacing supplies, and begin operations. Also includes guidelines for choosing suitable media and storing paper. Quick Reference Card (p/n 81250003) Included in a plastic pouch on the back of each printer, provides a concise summary of basic printer operation. Maintaining a set of manuals on the printer hard disk in a ready-to-print format, such as PCL or Post Script, is being considered. This would allow the user to bring all or portions of the documentation on-demand. 9.2 SERVICE MANUALS Field Service Manual (p/n 81250002) Contains technical information allowing Service Engineers to diagnose, repair, and maintain the printer. Detailed step by step Troubleshooting Analysis Guides (TAGs) are provided to aid the technician in resolving machine check error codes, print quality problems, and other printer malfunctions. Also includes a replacement parts catalogue and part removal and reinstallation procedures. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 43 81 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. PRINT QUALITY 10.1 INTRODUCTION 10.1.1 SCOPE The requirements described here define print quality limits to which printers are to be manufactured and perform throughout their life. 10.1.2 DEFINITIONS All dimensions are expressed in millimeters except domestic paper sizes and picture element (pel) density. Inch dimensions appear in parenthesis. Two print directions are defined for this product, the process direction and the LED array direction. Process direction is parallel to photoconductor and paper movement direction. The LED array direction is 90 degrees to the process direction. (parallel to leading edge of the paper). 10.1.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS Print quality shall only be evaluated on machines operating within specification limits and maintained according to replacement and service intervals. Print quality is guaranteed for environmental conditions remaining in the best operating region described in section 4.1.1. The printer will continue to print legibly in the degraded print region. Loss of information may occur within 4.2 mm (0.165") of any paper edge. Within 10 mm (0.4") of any paper edge normal text will be readable but optical density may be reduced. All print quality measurements shall be made immediately after a print is made. Print quality test masters resident in the machine shall be used to evaluate print quality. Print quality shall be evaluated using Kentek approved papers. The use of other papers could result in degraded print quality. The following brands of xerographic bond paper qualify as standard paper for print quality testing: Xerox 4024 IBM MSP Komine BM 10.2 PRINT QUALITY REQUIREMENTS The following specifies the print quality parameters and their requirements. 10.2.1 OPTICAL DENSITY The nominal optical density is designed to be 1.40. Black patches (5 x 5 mm to 40 x 40 mm) on each page shall have a average optical density of 1.35, a minimum of 1.20, and a standard deviation less than 0.07, as read with a Macbeth RD 912 densitometer, a Gardner reflectometer, or other approved densitometer or reflectometer, in the best operating environment. In the operational environment and/or with the developer TPS target setting in the "Toner Saver" setting, the average optical density may fall to 1.2 with a minimum of 1.1. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 44 82 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The printer will meet the following requirements for documents with 100% black area coverage: - a minimum of ten pages with 100% black coverage without error - stable recovery to normal operation will occur within 100 normal (4% coverage) pages - there will be no damage to machine components. 10.2.2 BACKGROUND Background measurement is very sensitive and must be taken immediately after the test pattern sample is printed. All print free (white) areas will have a maximum background of .8% The background reading is the ratio of the difference in reflection readings at a given print free area immediately before and after printing to the reading immediately before printing. 10.2.3 REGISTRATION Registration shall be evaluated at the process direction leading paper edge and the LED array direction at the paper edge. Registration gauged from paper edge to registration mark on the print master shall not vary more than +/-1.5 mm. Front to rear misalignment in the process direction for duplex pages (K40D) will not exceed 2 mm, provided the paper is within 1 mm of nominal length. 10.2.4 SKEW Skew shall be evaluated by examining the slope of the nearest vertical or horizontal line from a page side, the slope (or skew) shall be less than tan(X) = 0.0035 (0.039"/11"), or .2 degrees. 10.2.5 STROKE WIDTH Stroke width will be evaluated from photomicrographs or with an approved image analyzer. Stroke width is defined as the average distance between 60% points of the average white-black-white transition. Vertical and horizontal strokes shall be evaluated by measuring the vertical and horizontal legs of the printed L's on the print master. Stroke widths of one pel and two pels are specified below. Vertical to horizontal ratio shall be calculated by: (smaller measurement/large measurement) x 100% and may not be less than 80%. This requirement does not permit measurements to violate width requirements. RESOLUTION

10.2.6 RESOLUTION Maximum resolution possible with the 240 pel per inch printer is 4.72 line pairs per mm. Maximum resolution possible with the 300 pel per inch printer is 5.91 line pairs per mm. Resolution shall be evaluated by examining the line pair resolution targets on the print master with a magnifier or with an approved image analyzer. With the magnifier, all lines shall be distinguishable (look separated). - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 45 83 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.2.7 LINE STRAIGHTNESS Line straightness shall be evaluated by visual examination. The vertical and horizontal lines on the print master (skew eliminated) shall be evaluated. The lines will reveal no obvious misplaced pels or obvious undesirable "waviness". 10.2.8 MAGNIFICATION Magnification must be measured immediately after the print is made. Magnification shall be evaluated by measuring the overall length of the printed bars at the side (process direction) and at the bottom (LED array direction) of the print master. 10.2.8.1 PROCESS DIRECTION Overall length of process direction bars measured between end bar centerlines shall be 228.0+/-2.28 mm (1.0%) for nominal line frequency. 10.2.8.2 LED ARRAY DIRECTION Overall length of LED array direction bars measured between end bar centerlines shall be 152 +/- 0.7 mm (0.5%). 10.2.9 FUSE GRADE Fuse grade shall be evaluated with Kentek fuse grade measurement equipment by comparing the original optical density measurement of print master black patches to those which have been rubbed by a LION #PL-501 or similar eraser for 3 strokes of one kilogram force. The original optical density shall not be reduced by more than 10% in the rubbed area. In addition there should be no areas of unfused toner on the sheet. This applies to 60 to 90 g/m(2) paper. 10.2.10 IMAGE UNIFORMITY Process perturbations such as velocity perturbations or print head non-uniformity can result in undesirable print pattern modulations. Image uniformity will be evaluated by comparing: 1) 60 Line/inch Horizontal Line Print 2) All Black Print 3) Vertical Line Print with reference masters. Printed image uniformity shall be equal to or better than the reference masters and shall not result in detectable growth or shrinkage of text when text aligns with the shock perturbation. Image uniformity for the all black page assumes surface coverage of no more than 70% for a letter size page, which is equivalent to a black letter size page with .75" white borders. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kentek Information Systems Confidential Page 46 84 K40D Product Specification Version 2.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10.2.11 SPOTS AND VOIDS DEFINITIONS

Line Power Requirements 12.1 VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY The K40D uses common AC and DC supplies for all voltages. Voltage is selected with a configuration plug on the AC supply and a switch setting on the DC supply during manufacture or field installation. Six different voltage settings are possible on the AC supply:
------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- VOLTAGE FUSER TYPE FREQUENCY SAFETY MARKS EMI MARKS ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- 100V 100-127V 50, 60 Hertz UL, CSA, TUV-GS FCC, CE, VCCI ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- 120V 100-127V 60 Hz UL, CSA, TUV-GS FCC, CE, VCCI ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- 200V 200-240V 50, 60 Hertz UL, CSA, TUV-GS FCC, CE, VCCI ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- 220V 200-240V 50, 60 Hertz UL, CSA, TUV-GS FCC, CE, VCCI ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- 230V 200-240V 50, 60 Hertz UL, CSA, TUV-GS FCC, CE, VCCI ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- -------------- 240V 200-240V 50, 60 Hz UL, CSA, TUV-GS FCC, CE, VCCI ------- ---------- ------------ --------------- --------------
Voltage tolerance is +/- 10%. Frequency tolerance is +/- 10%. The use of DC motors throughout the K40D eliminates any line frequency dependencies. To minimize stocking requirements at both Kentek and customer warehouses, the K40D will be offered in two models:
---------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- MODEL VOLTAGE RANGE FREQUENCY ---------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- 120V 100-127 V 50, 60 Hertz ---------------------- ---------------------- --------------------- 230V 200-240 V 50, 60 Hz ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------
Each voltage configuration model will come configured to the voltage for that model (120V or 230V), with enough extra plugs to cover other voltages in its stated range. In the case of the 120V model, this means including the 100V plug and in the case of the 230V model, this means including plugs for 200V, 220V and 240V operation. A power cord is provided for North American 120V models only. Power cords for other models are supplied by the customer at time of installation. 12.2 POWER CONSUMPTION Power: less than 1.44 kVA (120 V) Current: less than 12 A (120 V) For the purposes of heating/cooling planning, nominal power consumption for a K40D in an office environment are shown below. Actual consumption varies with ambient temperature and printing duty cycle.

PRODUCT WARRANTY Kentek warrants that the Printer Product delivered shall be free from defects in material and workmanship, under normal use and service, and that any part or parts found defective within: a. 180 days from original shipping date for spare parts b. 180 days from original shipping date for high capacity feeders and stackers c. 2 years from original shipping date for printer engine (when operated within specified duty cycle);* shall be repaired by the Reseller with parts supplied by Kentek or replaced by Kentek at Kentek's shipping point. The Reseller will segregate and make available to Kentek at a central location those parts found defective with a list price exceeding $50.00. The Reseller will return defective parts freight prepaid. This Product Warranty is applicable only if the Product has had normal utilization within the specification, and has been maintained in accordance with recommended procedures. Any and all other costs in the implementation of this warranty shall be the responsibility of the Reseller. The warranty set forth in this Article does not extend to altered units of the Product or to units of the Product which fail or are damaged after delivery to the Reseller due to the shipment, handling, storage, operation, use or maintenance in a manner or environment not conforming to any published instructions and specifications of Kentek at the time of delivery. Use of any consumable not specifically supplied by or approved in writing by Kentek shall constitute a modification of Product and shall void any and all warranties for both printer and consumable supply product. * Any repair or replacement of any portion or part of the printer engine (excluding Consumables, Software, and Accessories) does not decrease or extend the original two-year warranty period. 105 KENTEK INFORMATION SYSTEMS INC. CONSUMABLE WARRANTY PROCEDURE The Kentek product warranty is contained in the Agreement between Kentek and the Reseller. There are two parts to the warranty: a. Defects due to material and workmanship/out of box/mechanical warranty, and; b. failure to meet the average specified yield. The warranty period is ninety (90) days from date of shipment to the Reseller. Kentek's published specification yields are "average" and the warranty is measured against the average yield for each type of consumable. If the rated yield of any consumable is 400,000 prints and that consumable produces prints within specification at the rated life then it is considered to have reached its specified life. For example, if the customer has four K30 cleaners and two make 425,000 prints and two make 375,000 prints, then no warranty credit is applicable as the average is the specified 400,000. In the event a customer returns consumable item(s) short of average life, the customer should be given a credit only for the unused portion; i.e., 325,000 prints/400,000 average yield x unit selling price. Kentek will work with the Reseller to provide credits where the population of supplies does not meet the average life specified. Credits (or replacement units) must be provided to the customer by the Reseller. At Kentek's option, the Reseller will segregate consumables found defective and return the defective consumables to Kentek freight prepaid. A Kentek Consumable Warranty Return Form (sample attached) is required for each consumable being returned for warranty evaluation. This product warranty is applicable only if the product has had normal utilization within specification and returned in a protective shipping container. Toner cartridges must always be removed from Developers, and Developers must be resealed prior to shipment. Should the defective consumable be received damaged due to unsafe packaging warranty consideration will become void. 106 KENTEK Consumable Warranty Claim Form Receiving Department 2845 29th Street Mfg RMA #:_______ Boulder, CO 80301 Distributor Reference #:_______ (303) 440-50500 / Fax (303) 440-9600 Date: __________________________ MASTER DISTRIBUTOR/VAR END USER REPORTING FAILURE NAME & ADDRESS NAME & ADDRESS _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ _____________________________________ Contact:_____________________________ Contact:_____________________________ Tel. #_______________________________ Tel. #_______________________________ Printer Model:_______________________ Consumable Part Desc.________________ Printer S/N#_________________________ Consumable P/N_______________________ Consumable S/N_______________________ Did the consumable fail on installation?
