IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICES

PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY

1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the copier and peripherals, make sure that the cop ier po w er cor d is un plu gg ed .

2. The wall outlet should be ne ar th e cop i er an d ea sil y accessi b le.

3. Note that some compone nt s of th e cop i er an d th e pa pe r tr ay un i t are supplied with electrical voltage even if the main switch is turned off.

4. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mech anically driven comp on en ts.

5. If the start key is pressed before the copier completes the warm-up period (Start key starts blinking red and green alternatively), keep hands away from the mechanical and the electrical components as the copier starts making copies as soon as the warm-up period is completed.

6. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing uni t be com e extr e m ely ho t while the copier is operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with your bare hands.

HEALTH SAFETY CONDITIONS

1. Never operate the copier without the ozone filters installed.

2. Always replace the ozone filters with the specifie d ones at the specified intervals.

3. Toner and developer are non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes by accident, it may cause temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops or flush wit h w at er as fir st aid. If unsuccessful, get medical attention.

OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS

1. The copier and its peripherals must be installed and maintained by a customer service representative who has completed the training course on those models.

CAUTION

2. The RAM board on the system control board has a lithium battery which can explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery only with an identical one. The manufacturer recommends replacing the entire RAM board. Do not recharge or burn this battery. Used batteries must be handled in accord ance with local regulations.

SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL

1. Do not incinerate the toner bottle or the used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when exposed to open flame.

2. Dispose of used toner, de vel o pe r , an d or g an i c pho to con ductor according to local regulations. (These are non-to xic supp lies. )

3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.

4. When keeping used lith ium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do not put more than 100 batteries per sealed bo x. St or i n g lar g er nu m be rs or not sealing them ap ar t ma y lead to che m i cal rea c tions and heat build-up.

LASER SAFETY

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical units in the field . The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.

WARNING

Use of controls, or adju stm e nt, or performanc e of pr oce du res other than those specified in th is manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING FOR LASER UNIT

WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the

procedures in the Laser Unit section. Laser beams can seriously damage your eyes.

1. SERVICE REMARKS

1.1 GENERAL CAUTION

Do not turn off the main switch while any of the electrical compon ents are active. Doing so might cause damage to units such as the transfer belt, drum, and development unit when they are pulled out of or put back into the copier.

1.2 DRUM

The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum is more sensitive to light and ammonia gas than a sel e niu m drum . Fol low th e cau tio ns be l ow w he n handling an OPC dr um.

1. Never expose the drum to direct sunlight.

2. Never expose the drum to direct light of more than 1,000 Lux for more than a minute.

3. Never touch the drum surface with bare hand s. Whe n th e dr u m sur fa ce is touched with a finger or beco mes di rty, wipe it with a dry cloth or cl ea n it with wet cotton. Wipe with a dry cloth after cleaning with wet cotton.

4. Never use alcohol to clean the drum; alcohol diss olves the drum surface.

5. Store the drum in a cool, dry place away from heat.

6. Take care not to scratch the drum as the dr um l aye r is th in an d is easily damaged.

7. Never expose the drum to corrosive gases such as ammonia gas.

8. Always keep the drum in the protective sheet when keeping the drum unit, or the drum itsel f , ou t of the copie r . D oin g so avo ids exp osi n g it to bright light or direct sunlight. This will protect the drum from light fatigue.

9. Before pulling out the drum unit, place a sheet of paper under the drum to catch any spilt toner.

10. Dispose of used drums in accordance with local regulations.

Tables

Service

FSM 4-1 A133/A217

11. When installing a new drum in the drum unit, the following must be done. a) Remove the protective sheet after securing the new drum to the drum

unit.

b) Do the ID Sensor Initial Setting procedure (SP Test Mode 3001).

12. When the drum unit is removed, push the development unit to the right before re-installing the drum unit.

1.3 TRANSFER BELT UNIT

1. Replace the transfer belt every two PM cycles (240K copies) to avo id bad effects on the drum.

2. Never touch the transfer belt surface with bare hands.

3. Take care not to scratch the transf er be lt as th e sur f ace is easi ly damaged.

4. Before installing the new transfer belt, clean all the rollers with a dry cloth to prevent the bel t fr o m slip pi n g.

1.4 SCANNER UNIT

1. When installing the exposure glass, make sure that the white reference plate is facing dow n.

2. Clean the exposure glass with alcohol or glass cleaner to reduce the amount of static electric ity on the glass surface.

3. Use a cotton pad with water or a blower brush to clean the mirrors and lens.

4. Do not bend or crease the exposure l amp fl at cable .

5. Do not disassemble the lens unit. Doing so will throw the lens and the copy image out of focus.

6. Do not turn any of the CCD positioning screws. Doing so will throw the CCD out of position.

3. Clean the end blocks with a blower brush first to remove toner and paper dust. Then clean it with a dry cloth if any toner still remains on it.

4. Do not touch the corona wir e s with bare hands. Oil stai ns fr o m f ing er s may cause uneven image density on copies.

5. Make sure that there is no foreign material (iron filings, etc.) on the casing.

6. To avoid uneven charge, do not bend or scratch the wire surface when installing new corona wires. Also be sure that the corona wires are correctly positioned in the grooves of the end blocks.

7. Clean the charge grid pla te with a blower brush, water, then with a dry cloth. When doing so, be careful not to damage the grids by letting fibers attach to them.

8. Do not touch the charge gr id pl a te wit h bare hands. Also, do not ben d the charge grid pl at e or make any de nt in it. Doing so may cause un eve n charge.
