Change history software release 54.0

Runlength metering: Runlength metering is a special marketing tool. The runlength metering counter
is handled the same way as the normal copy counter. The only difference is that the runlength metering
counter counts only the first 10 or 25 copies of each original. This depends on what is configured . This
runlength metering can be configured in SDS test 90. There are 3 possibilities :
Runlength metering - not available,
Runlength metering - 10 or
Runlength metering - 25.
The runlength metering counter can be preset in SDS test 97. The key operator is able to configure or
preset the runlength metering. The runlength metering counter will be displayed in the key operator
mode infosheet > counters.
New languages:
With the introduction of software release 54.0 there are 6 new languages added
in relation to the external finisher messages.
The languages are : Dutch, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Cooling control :
Machines provided with NiMH batteries need an other cooling control than
machines provided with NiCd batteries.
High temperature will decrease the lifetime of the NiMH battery rapidly, therefore the operating panel
cooling fan will be switched on continuously.
Bug Fixes
- Paperjams in the finisher which occurred when performing a job double-sided to double-sided with
subsets and oriented paper is solved.
- The bug which occurred when performing a job with 2 single-sided originals to 1 double-sided copy
with a runlength higher than 6 is solved.
- Paperjams in the finisher which occurred after dosing a black image are solved.
- Paperjams in the finisher which occurred when performing a job with subsets are solved.
- Paperjams with respect to the papertray were solved. When a job was started, before the previous job
was ended and the restarted job would use 2 papertrays for bulk, then this job wouldnt pre- separate
the paper. This would introduce extra paperjams.
- The problems with respect to the papertray according to separation from the wrong tray were solved.
