Enhancement Package #2 (feature number 9621): Is a no-charge feature replacing the Enhancement Package #1 (feature number 9620) on Models MS1, MD1, and MD2. (Enhancement Package #1 is still available on other InfoPrint 4100 models.) Includes all contents of Enhancement Package #1, as well as the Universal Forms Control Sensor.

2 Minimum number of features: 1 Initial order only on the InfoPrint 4100 Models MS1, MD1, and MD2. Compatibility conflicts: None Yes, feature number 9621 Field installation: No Universal Forms Control Sensor (#4571) This feature provides a registration sensor that is moveable across the entire width of a form. The capability provided by this sensor is normally most useful in a tractorless (pinless) environment. This sensor is also a look up/look down sensor that can read black marks on either side of the paper. In addition, it allows items such as a customer logo (that are normally printed on a document) to be used as a registration mark. When a modulated registration mark is printed by printer #1, this sensor eliminates the need for a separate barcode for side-2 verification. Feature number 4571 is only available as a field-installable feature on the InfoPrint 4100 Models MS1, MD1, and MD2. The Universal Forms Control Sensor is included with the Enhancement Package #2 (feature number 9621). Minimum number of this feature: 0 Maximum number of this feature: 1 the InfoPrint POWER tm Controller (#4800, 9650) and Version 15.6, or later, microcode Compatibility conflicts: Cannot have feature number 4570 (Dual Toner/Mark Side Verify Sensor) or the Enhancement Package #2 (#9621). Models HS2, MD3, HD4, HS3, HD5, HD6: Yes, feature number 4571 Field installation: Yes, feature number 4567 Toner Collector Bag Switch (#4573) - MES order only This feature provides a sensor to detect when the toner collector bag is full. An operator alert message is sent to alert the operator to change the toner collector bag. This positive detection of a full bag prevents the over-filling of the collection bag. Feature number 4573 is only available as a field-installable feature on the InfoPrint 4100 Models MS1, MD1, and MD2. The Toner Collector Bag Switch is included with the Enhancement Package #2 (feature number 9621). InfoPrint is a registered trademark of Ricoh Co., Ltd. 2

This sensor looks across the width of the paper (in the scan direction) and can detect any "accordion" type irregularities in the paper. When these defects are sensed, the paper is stopped immediately. Early detection prevents paper jams as well as possible drum damage. The advantage is increased printer availability and decreased printer down-time for repair. Feature number 4572 is only available as a field-installable feature on the InfoPrint 4100 Models MS1, MD1, and MD2.
