Installation Requirements
CAUTION
FIRE PREVENTION
❒ Install copier away from flammable materials, curtains and volatile
combustibles.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
❒ Install copier away from direct sunlight, heat sources (stoves,
heaters), cold temperatures (air conditioners), and dampness.
❒ Do not install or operate copier outdoors near a lake, pond, river,
etc. Do not allow copier to come in contact with splashes of rain,
water, or any liquid.
❒ Avoid any environment that is outside 50°~86°F (10°~30°C) with
10~80% relative humidity.
VENTILATION
❒ Install copier in a well-ventilated area to maintain a comfortable
working environment. When in use, the copier generates ozone in
amounts too small to be hazardous to the human body. However, if
the machine is used in a poorly ventilated area or if many copies
are made, an odor may be detected.
❒ Install copier in an area free from dust, ammonia gas or fumes
from printing or cleaning solutions, etc. Exposure of the copier to
these materials may also cause poor image quality.
INSTALLATION SPACE
❒ Install copier in an area with adequate space for performing copier
operations, replacing supply items, and conducting regular
maintenance.
❒ Install copier on a flat, sturdy surface, free from strong vibrations.
Be sure the surface is able to support the additional weight of
paper and supplies.

supply. For information about power requirements and power
consumption related to the copier, contact your Konica service
representative.
❒ Firmly insert the copier plug into the outlet. If the inserted plug is
loose in the socket, disconnect the plug and consult an electrician
for repair.
POWER CORD
❒ Do not bend, crush, wind, or roll up the power cord. If your copier
power cord is bent or damaged in any way, contact your Konica
service representative immediately. Do not attempt to repair it
yourself, and do not continue to operate the copier. A damaged
power cord may result in overheating, a short circuit, or fire.

electrician and a Konica service representative.
ADAPTERS AND MULTIPLE LOADS
❒ Do not use adapters or connectors with the main power cord.

Use the Special Ratio Table below to determine the magnification
ratios for non-standard paper sizes.
1 Locate original width on horizontal axis. Then locate copy width on vertical axis.
2 Find the point (ratio) on the table where the two values meet.
3 Locate original length on horizontal axis. Then locate copy length on vertical axis.
4 Find the point (ratio) on the table where the two values meet.
5 Enter the appropriate ratio, using Preset or Zoom modes. Use the smaller ratio
for reduction. Use the larger ratio for enlargement. Ratios must fall within the
0.60~1.65 range.

Maintenance and Supplies
Daily Maintenance
The platen glass and the inner surface of the platen cover should be
kept clean to prevent soil marks from being copied. Occasionally, an
anti-static cleaner may be required to ensure that a static charge is not
generated. Ask your Konica service representative to suggest an
appropriate cleaner. For optimal copy quality, follow the instructions
below.
Cleaning the Platen Glass
1 Raise the platen cover.
2 Wipe the glass with a clean soft cloth,
dampened slightly with water or an anti-static
cleaner.
Cleaning the Inner Surface of the Platen Cover
1 Raise the platen cover.
2 Wipe the inner surface with a clean soft cloth.
NOTE: Never use paint solvents, such as benzene or thinners, to clean any portion
of the copier. To avoid copier damage, do not spray or pour water or cleaner directly
on the platen glass. Do not use any abrasive cleaners to clean the glass.

CAUTION
Before adding toner, carefully read the directions and safety
information included with the toner cartridge. Keep toner away from
children. Although toner is non-toxic, do not inhale it or allow it to
enter your eyes. In case toner comes in contact with eyes, consult
your physician. If you have additional concerns, read the Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
