Operations and Terms Used in This Manual

This machine makes effective use of memory to perform print operations efficiently. For example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you want to copy, it can immediately scan the next person’s original. You can also print from this machine, using a function other than the Copy function. In this machine, these operations take place in a complex way, so that not only copies, but also various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before they can be printed.

To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the terms “scanning,” “printing,” and “copying,” used throughout this manual are defined below. When making a copy, the process of scanning originals and printing copies may be described as separate functions.

Scanning

Scanning an original for copying or sending.

xiii

Page 15

Printing

Outputting documents such as a copy, fax, or outputting data sent from a personal computer to the machine.

Copying

Printing data scanned from an original, followed by finishing options, such as stapling.

Maintenance and Inspections

xxiv

WARNING

• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, and then

disconnect the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around

the base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.

• Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with

water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.

• There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When

removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.

• Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the

toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.

Page 26

CAUTION

• The fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings inside the machine may

become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not touch the fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings, as doing so may result in burns.

• When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to allow

the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing them with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.

• When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the

jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.

• When loading paper or removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your

hands on the edges of the originals or paper.

• When removing a used toner cartridge, remove the toner cartridge carefully to

prevent the toner from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.

• Do not dismantle the toner cartridge, as doing so may cause toner to fly out and enter

your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult physician.

• Handle the toner cartridge carefully. Avoid contact with any toner that is released

from the cartridge. If toner makes contact with your skin, immediately wash the area with soap and cold water. If your skin still feels irritated after washing the area thoroughly, or you ingest toner, seek immediate medical treatment.

xxv

Page 27

Consumables

WARNING

• Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the

toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.

• Do not store toner cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this

may cause the toner or paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.

• When discarding used toner cartridges, put the cartridges into a bag to prevent the

toner remaining inside the cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them in a location away from open flames.

CAUTION

• Keep toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If

these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

• Do not dismantle the toner cartridge, as dismantling it may cause toner dust to

scatter on your skin or clothes. Immediately brush the toner off your clothes (but do not wash the clothing with hot water, which may cause the toner to set in the fabric). If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and seek immediate medical treatment.

• Handle the toner cartridge carefully. Avoid contact with any toner that is released

This section describes precautions for installation location and handling. We recommend that you read this section prior to using this machine.

Installation Precautions

Avoid Installing the Machine in the Following Locations

■ Avoid locations subject to temperature and humidity extremes, whether

low or high.

For example, avoid installing the machine near water faucets, hot water heaters, humidifiers, air conditioners, heaters, or stoves.

Before You Start Using This Machine

■ Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may be more noticeable during extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room be appropriately ventilated, sufficient to maintain a comfortable working environment, in areas of machine operation.

■ Avoid locations where a considerable amount of dust accumulates.

■ Avoid locations where ammonia gas is emitted.

■ Avoid locations near volatile or flammable materials, such as alcohol or

paint thinner.

■ Avoid locations that are subject to vibration.

For example, avoid installing the machine on unstable floors or stands.

■ Avoid exposing the machine to rapid changes in temperature.

If the room in which the machine is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the machine. This may result in a noticeable degradation in the quality of the copied image, the inability to properly scan an original, or the copies having no printed image at all.

Before You Start Using This Machine

1-4

■ Avoid installing the machine near computers or other precision electronic

equipment.

Electrical interference and vibrations generated by the machine during printing can adversely affect the operation of such equipment.

■ Avoid installing the machine near televisions, radios, or similar electronic

equipment.

The machine may interfere with sound and picture signal reception. Insert the power plug into a dedicated power outlet, and maintain as much space as possible between the machine and other electronic equipment.

Making Prints Using the Stack Bypass

If you are making prints on labels, transparencies, or nonstandard paper size stock, load the paper stock into the stack bypass.

IMPORTANT

•

Note the following points when using the stack bypass:

- Paper Quantity: one to approximately 80 sheets (22 lb bond (80 g/m2), stack approximately 1/4" (5 mm) high)

- Paper Size: 3 3/4" x 5 7/8" to 11 3/4" x 17" (95 mm x 148 mm to 297 mm x 432 mm)

- Paper Weight: 17 to 32 lb bond (64 to 128 g/m2)

- Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to allow the paper to feed smoothly through the stack bypass (allowable curl amount: less than 3/8" (10 mm) for normal paper, less than 1/4" (5 mm) for heavyweight paper).

- Depending on the paper storage conditions, it may not be possible to feed some paper into the stack bypass. In this case, set the amount of paper to less than 40 sheets

(80 g/m

•

Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.

•

Depending on the type of heavyweight paper you want to load, if you load multiple sheets of heavyweight paper into the stack bypass, a paper jam may occur. In this case, load only one sheet of heavyweight paper at a time.

•

When printing on special types of paper, such as heavyweight paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavyweight paper. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair, or the paper could jam.

•

If you are printing on envelopes, do not allow more than 10 envelopes to accumulate in the output tray. Always empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have accumulated.

•

If you select [Irreg. Size] for copying, you cannot use the Rotate Collate, Rotate Group, Offset Collate, Offset Group, Staple, 1 2-Sided, 2 2-Sided, Book 2-Sided, 2-Page Separation, or Image Combination mode. (See Chapter 1, “Introduction to Copying,” in the Copying Guide.)

•

If you select [Envelope] for copying or printing, you cannot use the finishing modes, 1 2-Sided, 2 2-Sided, Book 2-Sided, 2-Page Separation, or Image Combination mode. (See Chapter 1, “Introduction to Copying,” in the Copying Guide.)
