[1] MODIFICATIONS NOT AUTHORIZED BY KONICA
Konica controllers for copier are renowned for their high reliability. This reliability is achieved through high-qual-
ity design and a solid service network.
Print controller units design is a highly complicated and delicate process where numerous mechanical, physical,
and electrical aspects have to be taken into consideration, with the aim of arriving at proper tolerances and
safety factors. For this reason, unauthorized modifications involve a high risk of degradation in performance and
safety. Such modifications are therefore strictly prohibited. The points listed below are not exhaustive, but they
illustrate the reasoning behind this policy
