Communications Link (C-Link) Cables

Communications Link (C-Link)Cables, Supported Daisy Chain Connections

All C-Link cables have a single dot molded into the device output connector
cable end, and two dots molded into the device input connector cable end.
The devices may not be recognized by the External Paper Handling
Controller if the cables are not connected exactly as shown in Figure 7-7.

N o t e

It is important that the C-Link cables are installed in the supported daisy
chain configuration as shown in Figure 7-7. This is so that the devices are
recognized and correctly reported on the error log.

Example:

In the error log message "13.12.03", the last two digits ".03"
indicate that Device 3 has failed in the supported configuration:

Device 1 = 2000 Sheet Input Tray
Device 2 = Multi-Bin Mailbox
Device 3 = Stapler Module

N o t e

It is possible, but not recommended, to attach the C-Link cables in other
configurations. This will rearrange the supported device numbering. Keep
in mind this configuration when evaluating the error log.
