Never place a heavy object on the copier.
Never subject the copier to shocks.
Never open doors or turn the copier off while he is making copies.
Never bring any magnetized object near the copier.
Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the copier.
Never modify the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The copier
contains high voltage components which can cause electrical shock.
Never tamper with the laser mechanism in laser-equipped models, as
blindness or other injury may result.
Never drop paperclips, staples or other small pieces of metalthrough
the vents or other openings in the copier, as a fire or electrical shock
can result.
Never place containers of liquid on the copier. If liquids get inside the
copier,theycan cause fire or electrical shock.Ifa piece of metal or any
liquidgets insidethecopier,immediatelyturn the copier off, unplug the
power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical
shock can result if the copier remains plugged in or is operated after
metal or liquid gets inside.
Neverleave the copier running if it becomes unusually hot, orif smoke
or an unusual odor or noise is detected. Should any of these
conditions occur, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power
cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock
can result if the copier remains plugged in under any of these
conditions.
Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
Always make surethat the outlet is visible, clear of the copieror copier
cabinet.
Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of
continuous copies.
Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when
unplugging the power cord. A damaged cord could result in a fire or
cause an electrical shock.
Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an
electrical shock.
Always unplug the power cord before moving the copier. Moving the
copier with the power cord plugged in can damage the cord resulting
in a fire or causing an electrical shock.

Alwaysunplugthe power cord when the copier is not going to beused
for a long time.
Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a
fire or electrical shock can result.
Always ensure that the copier does not sit on or move onto the power
cord or communications cable of other electrical equipment, as
malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.
Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other
electrical equipment does not become wedged into the copier
mechanism, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.
Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can cause
a fire or electrical shock.
Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock can
result.
Shouldthe power cord become damaged, immediately turn the copier
off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A
damaged cord can result in a fire or cause an electric shock.
If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacity
than the maximum power requirements of the copier. The use of an
extension cord that falls short of supporting the maximum power
requirements can result in overheating or a fire
Always unplug the copier whenever anything unusual is observed
during operation. Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of the
copier and furniture.
NOTE
Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room
èA negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of
this copier. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly
ventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For a
comfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it is
recommended that the room be well ventilated.

As an ENERGY STAR
have determined that this copier meets
the ENERGY STAR
®
Partner, we
®
Guidelines for
energy efficiency.
What is an Energy Star Copier ?
EnergyStar Copiers have a feature that allows them to automaticallyturn
off or “goto sl eep” after a period of inactivity, ensuringnight and weekend
shut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copier’s annual electricity costs
by over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set to
automatically make double sided copies. An organization’s paper costs
can be reduced and the volume of paper sent into the waste stream will
decline.It takes 10 times more energy to produce a piece of paper than it
does to make a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper also
means decreased national energy consumption.

Terms and Symbols for the Type of Originals and Copy Paper
A few special terms and symbols are used in this manual to designate
types of originals and copy paper. This page explains about these terms
and symbols.
Feeding Direction (copy paper path)
In this copier system, copy paper is taken up from the right-hand side of
the copier and fed through the copier toward the left-hand side, out face
up onto the Exit Tray. In the figure below, the direction in which the copy
paper is fed, as indicated by the arrow, is called the “feeding direction.”
“Width” and “Length”
When we talk about the size of the
original or copy, we call side A “width”
and side B “length.”
A: Width
B: Length
