Laser Safety
About Laser Beams
Laser radiation may be hazardous to human. The laser scanner unit mounted in this device is
sealed in the protective housing and the external cover to prevent laser beams from leaking
to the environment. As long as the device is operated under normal conditions, users are
safely guarded from laser leaks.
Handling Laser Scanner Unit
Before providing service works for the laser scanner unit and its peripherals, ensure to turn
off the power of the device.
Any cover with potential dangers of laser beam reection has afxed the caution label at the
position shown in the gure below.

Toner Safety
About Toner
Toner is a nontoxic matter composed of plastic, iron and a trace of pigments.
Never throw toner in ames to avoid explosion.
Handling Adhered Toner
• Use dry tissue paper to wipe off toner adhered to skin or clothes and wash in water.
• Never use warm water for cleaning up toner to prevent toner particles from being able to
soak into bers permanently.
• Toner particles are reactive with vinyl polymers. Avoid contacting these materials.
Notes on Handling Lithium Battery
Notes on Assembly/Disassembly
Follow the items below to assemble/disassemble the device.
1. Disconnect the power plug to avoid any potential dangers during assembling/disassembling
works.
2. If not specially instructed, reverse the order of disassembly to reinstall.
3. Ensure to use the right screw type (length, diameter, etc.) at the right position when
assembling.
4. To keep electric conduction, binding screws with washers are used to attach the grounding
wire and the varistor. Ensure to use the right screw type when assembling.
5. Unless it is specially needed, do not operate the device with some parts removed.
6. Never remove the paint-locked screws when disassembling.
Replacing with wrong battery types may cause explosion.
Follow instructions to dispose used batteries properly.

Features
1. Small-size, high-speed monochrome printer
This equipment has a compact body that realizes high-speed print of 25 ppm.
2. Automatic duplex print
Automatic two-sided printing is available with standard equipped duplex unit.
3. Reduction in standby time and energy consumption
This equipment employs on-demand xing where the heater activates only during printing,
resulting in a reduction in standby time and energy consumption on this mode.
4. Realization of noise reduction and stable image quality
This equipment employs a belt drive method for transmitting the drive of the main motor.
This enables lower noise and more stable image quality compared to the conventional gear
drive method. (See NOTE)
5. Improved Usability
In this equipment maintenance (jam removal, replacing the cartridge) can be performed by
accessing one point of the delivery tray.
Note:
Changing the drive method from gear to belt reduces uneven pitch due to varied
rotation speed of the photosensitive drum, which realizes stable image quality.

Basic Sequence
■Basic Sequence of Operation
The engine controller controls the operation sequence. The following table provides an outline
of machine operation occurring from when the power switch is turned on to when printing
ends and motors stop, indicating the purposes of intervals and engine operation. For details
of various loads, see the timing chart.
IntervalPurposeRemarks

From the end of the WAIT
period or the LSTR period
until the print command is
sent from the main controller.
Or, from the end of the LSTR
period until power switch is

stops.
To clear potential from the drum
surface and to clean the transfer
roller.
Also to bring the heater
temperature up to the targeted
temperature.
To keep the printer ready to
print.
To stabilize the photosensitive
drum sensitivity in preparation
for printing. Also to clean the
transfer roller.
To form image on the
photosensitive drum based
on the VIDEO (/VD01, /VD02,

from the main controller, and to
transfer the toner image onto
paper.
To deliver the last paper
completely out of the printer.
