2.1. Market Trend
Still, looking from the customer’s perspective, strict demands for machine reliability, productivity,
and top leveled features are unchanged yet being strengthened day after day. In order to meet
these demands, it is crucial to continue enhancing product capability within this range and
provide wider variety of selection to the customer to increase the total value of the product.

To continue our success in this market range, with the MP9000/1100/1350 series, our priority is
to maintain its current positioning of targeting both the light production market and high volume
general users.

<Competitive Situation>
Looking at the competitive situation, Canon and Xerox had introduced their new enhanced light
production models to further strengthen their product lineups in this range. KonicaMinolta has
been continuously aggressive to increase market share with its flagship models bizhub PRO
920/1050e and the market leading variety of peripherals. Now Sharp has recently announced its
entering into the HV business targeting light production market with its own new engine and a
very aggressive pricing.

Also looking at the recent trend, it is obvious that competitors are now shifting their resources
heavily into the light production business where higher TDV and numerous business
opportunities lie (from providing 3rd party accessory devices to professional workflow solutions).
As a result, many competitors now categorize their 85+PPM models as “Production model”,
which are dedicated to targeting light-production users and enhancing machine features based
on their needs.
Pro 906ex/1106ex/1356ex mainframe unit will basically succeed all former MP9000/1100/1350
features and in addition, will have two new finishing devices in its lineup. With these new
peripherals, Pro 906ex/1106ex/1356ex will now be able to meet wider inline finishing needs,
providing higher upgrade value to current Aficio 1085/1105 customers and aggressively
compete against other vendors in the light production market.

5-1-1 Overview
One of the main objectives for the Model Pro 906ex/1106ex/1356ex is to expand MIF in high
volume market. Pro 906ex/1106ex/1356ex offers two types of printer controller, GW based
printer/scanner option, and Fiery (EFI) controller.
We position these controllers by target user segment, GW controller for office environment and
Fiery controller mainly for CRD/PFP environment. Advantages of PostScript printer driver
features and variety of Fiery utilities and options will differentiate these two controllers.
However, some features for CRD/PFP workflow are also added in the GW controller. This
includes features such as imposition setting, printing crop marks and creep adjustment.
Although these features are available only with RPCS printer driver, GW controller will provide
more capabilities for professional usage that were not available for models like Aficio
1085/1105.
Controller Target User by Segmentation

There are strong points for each controller. This is because targeting user segment is different
between the GW and Fiery controller.

IPv6
IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by
the IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP
Version 4 ("IPv4").
IPv6 adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as routing and network auto-configuration.
This machine (supported with Ethernet or IEEE802.11b) supports Ipv6 capability with dual task
of IPv4.
Remarks:
• Currently our machines support only printing capabilities for IPv6
• IPSec is not supported
Bonjour Support
What is Bonjour?
Bonjour is formally called “Rendezvous”. The name of technology has been changed from Mac
OS X v10.4 “Tiger”. Bonjour is Apple Computer's version of ZeroConf (Zero Configuration
Networking), a set of protocols that enables a device on an IP network to automatically
recognize and connect with other devices on the network. To the end user, this means that
when a new device (such as a printer) connects to the network, every computer on the network
is able to use it instantly without any setup or special configuration. Bonjour uses IETF
standards for both Link Local Addressing (LLA) and Multicast DNS (mDNS). mDNS allows the
new device to advertise its existence and the services it offers. LLA looks around, negotiates
with other devices on the subnet, and picks a suitable IP address for the device.

Pro 906ex/1106ex/1356ex
Customer benefits
Under conventional DNS function, name resolution does not work with following cases.
1.Change of IP address for MFP
2.Change of Device Name for MFP
However, with DDNS function, above change will be automatically notified to DNS server, name
resolution work even after these changes.

What is LinuxPrinting.org
LinuxPrinting.org is an official site to support and help with printing under open source free
operating systems like GNU/Linux and the BSDs or under commercial UNIX-like systems such
as Solaris and OS X.
For supporting unique features and device options of each printers, CUPS needs each PPDs of
printer venders. So, LinuxPrinting.org has been distributing PPDs of several manufactures'
printers. Most of Linux distribution package vendors are using to obtain printers PPDs to bundle
them into their distribution package.
Posting PPDs on LinuxPrinting.org should be the right way to promote this machine to
UNIX/Linux users.

The SAP R/3 architecture comprises of application client system and database servers.
SAP primarily focus on the systems and applications for data processing rather than document
output.
Therefore, many printer capabilities are not supported as standard in SAP R/3.
The original Custom Device Type has been developed that allows SAP R/3 customers to select
and use the hardware finishing options to improve the quality and presentation of the document.

Following description shows how NDPS gateway works under NetWare environment.
The NetWare printer can be discovered by the NDPS gateway
Also can be manually added to the NDPS manager where the NDPS gateway resides.
If the NDPS client wants to add an NDPS printer to its desktop, it queries NDPS brokers about
all available NDPS printers.
The NDPS broker informs the NDPS client of the list of NDPS printer agents.
After a printer agent is selected, the correct printer driver is downloaded to the NDPS client’s
desktop.
Later, the NDPS client sends print jobs to the printer agent, which is a virtual printer image
created in the NDPS network.
The NDPS manger then passes the print jobs to the NDPS gateway that issues the native
printing commands to the printer.

Installing application software and/or device driver, IT manager (IT support stuff) must install
them to all clients PCs, for example. Under SBC environment, installation is only for the server
side. It is also the benefit of SBC that securing data from simple mistake of client PC user.
Making access limitation, creating firewall, introducing virus countermeasure and other security
steps are taking to protect data. However, if the client PC, especially laptop, is stolen, all
important data in the unit is completely stolen. This incident cannot be protected by any IT
countermeasures.
This MetaFrameTM has its own unique printer function. However, there is a major limitation of
printer option device management with this standard function.
The printer option device limitation means that options that are installed on a printer cannot be
utilized.
Printer options cannot be utilized means that commonly used printer functions at an office are
not available.
For example; Turnover paper option (duplex option) for both sides printing. Additional optional
paper trey to keep absolute quantity and variety kinds of paperFinisher for making documents
with staples, or making a punch hall to binding documents. Optional HDD and additional
memory for temporary saving data.

User benefit:
When customer replaces printer made by other manufacturer, tray selection behavior of our
printer may not meet customer's expectations due to difference in tray parameter settings
between the printers.
(For example, 8 is the parameter for tray 1 in PCL, but this parameter can be replaced to 4.
In such case, parameters of the new printer can be changed to the parameters of the printer
that has been replaced; therefore, printer can be used without making changes on user host
applications.
Note:
Maximum of 3 parameters (from 0 to 99) can be set for each tray to enable printing even when
Windows and host print environment coexist. Setting is available for trays that are set to the
printer and for auto-tray selection behavior.

Overwrite Timing
There are two types of overwrite timing with DOS option type C/D/F as below;
Auto Erase Memory (Event driven)
Erase All Memory(Batch)
Auto Erase Memory overwrites the data at the end of each job, whereas Erase All Memory
overwrites the entire contents of the temporary and management areas of the HDD as well as
the data in the NV-RAM and FCU (details below). Both functions are provided to the field as
optional software stored on SD cards, which must be inserted in the MFP slot at all times in
order to use the function. If the card is taken out of the slot, Data Erase/Overwrite cannot be
used.
-In addition, it is also possible to manually erase data that was intentionally saved to the HDD,
such as Document Server documents.
Note: If the timing of the Auto Erase Memory overwrite coincides with a command received by
the MFP for any other operation, this other operation is given priority. The data overwrite is then
performed once this other operation is completed.
-By initializing the contents of the NVRAM to their default values, this feature prevents
information that is unique to a particular installation environment from being released to third
parties (e.g. IP address, control lists and other administrative information).
-The execution of this feature does not clear engine-related information such as the value of the
total counter, or engine-related adjustment settings contained in SP mode and UP mode.
Overwrite method
You can select the methods from the below;
1. NSA Standard: Random data => Random data => Null data (total 3 times)
2. DoD (Department of Defense of USA) Standard
3. Random Data Overwrite
(Note1: DOS Unit type C/D adopted NSA and DoD method because these are the most commonly used methods in
PC.)

Terminology
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL):
HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a Web
protocol developed by Netscape and built into its browser that encrypts and decrypts user page
requests as well as the pages that are returned by the Web server. HTTPS is really just the use of
Netscape's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP application layering.
(HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions with the lower layer, TCP/IP.) SSL
uses a 40-bit key size for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm, which is considered an adequate
degree of encryption for commercial exchange.
SC (Service Call):
There are 4 types of SC Conditions
Level A ; An SC condition is continually displayed on the copier operation panel. The
operator cannot reset it.
Level B ; An SC for a limit function. SC condition will be displayed only when the detected
function is selected. The operator can reset it by turning the machine off and on.
Level D ; SC condition is displayed on the copier. The operator can reset it by turning the machine
off and on.
Level C ; No SC displayed. The SC occurrence is logged.
68
Pro 906ex/1106ex/1356ex
CC (Center Call):
There are 4 types of CC Conditions
Consecutive Jams ; Any paper jam occurring 5 times consecutively
Continuous Jam ; An original or paper jam condition that remains for 15 minutes
Cover Open ; An open cover that occurs for more than 15 minutes

The Web SmartDeviceMonitor Version 2 (Forest) major objective is reducing “Device Management
Task.” To reach the goal, Web SmartDeviceMonitor Version 2 (Forest) introduces many new ideas.
The most conspicuous is the UI (User Interface.) UI is completely re-designed aiming visually very
easy to understand. Fore
example, device status is Install Support Module
In addition to Web SmartDeviceMonitor Version 1.4 (Cypress), highly demanded function of RFU
(Remote Firmware Update) function will be added onto Web SmartDeviceMonitor Version 2 (Forest).
Using this RFU function, it is not necessary to update device firmware one by one manually. Which
means, this function has a potential to be utilized not only customer IT managers but 3rd vendor who
offers device maintenance.
Driver distribution function is also added another key. It is not the simple function that just
distribute driver to the client. A tool, which comes with Web SmartDeviceMonitor Version 2
(Forest) can create a driver package that contains default function change, information of
attached option, and device IP address. And Web SmartDeviceMonitor Version 2 (Forest) sends
an e-mail, which has URL that linked to the configured driver package. Utilizing this function,
for example, change print default to 2 in 1 and/or duplex, and change setting such clients group
has limitation to access color function, even if they are connected to color products. These
default and setting changed driver effect customer’s TCO reduction very quickly.
