Introduction
What is Energy Star
After long periods of idleness, Energy Star
Saver Mode or turn themselves off. This function can reduce the annual
energy costs for the unit by up to 60%.
Systems with a high copying speed automatically switch to 2-sided
copying mode. This reduces the costs for paper and the volume of paper
consumed.
Did you know that manufacturing a sheet of paper requires 10 times as
much energy as making a copy?
The conservation of paper thus also has a direct global effect on the
conservation of energy.
This system complies with the Energy Star
Use of Recycled Paper
This system is designed to use recycled paper that conforms to ENV
12281 or DIN 19309. Your local MINOLTA representative will be pleased
to provide more information.

Cover Inserter C for Finisher
The Cover Inserter is a paper feeding unit for the finishers. It can be used,
for example, to feed in cover stock for creating booklets.
Paper fed by the cover inserter is sent directly to the finisher; it does not
run through the copier. The paper fed from the cover inserter thus cannot
be printed during cover insertion.

The trimming unit lets you trim the front edge of stapled or folded booklets.
This ensures a smooth booklet edge.
CAUTION
Incorrect handling can cause damage to the system!
Incorrect handling can cause damage to the system. Observe the
following safety precautions to prevent system damage.
§ Never place any objects on or in the trimming unit.
§ Do not use the trimming unit for storing copy materials or other objects.
Always keep the tray cover closed!
It is not possible to start a copy cycle if the tray cover is not closed.
If the tray cover of the trimming unit is opened during a copy cycle, the

Laser Safety
This system is equipped with a laser. If the system is operated in
accordance with the instructions in this manual, the laser poses no
possibility of danger.
The laser radiation is completely confined within the machine housing.
The laser beam cannot escape the housing at any time of operation.
This system is certified as a Class 1 laser product. This means that the
system does not generate any hazardous laser radiation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Mean radiation output:
1220 µW at the laser opening of the printer head.
Wave length: 665-695 nm
This system operates using a Class IIIb laser diode that emits an invisible
laser beam. The laser diode and scanning polygon mirror are incorporated
in the print head unit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM. It may not be opened
under any circumstances.
