1 PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

1-1. Installation Site

When installing the printer, please avoid the types of locations listed below, both for safety conditions and to breakdowns.

•

Which is exposed to direct sunlight.

•

Which is damp or dusty.

•

Where it may be splashed with water.

•

Which is tilted or subject to undue vibration.

•

Where it will be subject to extremely high or low temperature or humidity.

•

Where it will be subject to sudden fluctuations in either temperature or humidity.

•

Which is near volatile flammables or corrosive gas.

•

Which is in the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater, or ventilator.

•

Which is near a TV set or radio.

1-2. Environmental Requirements

In order to make sure the printer function s in good condition, please make sure ambient environment satisfies the following requirements:

Temperature : 10 to 35°C Temperature fluctuation : ±10°C per hour or less Humidity : 15 to 85% RH Humidity fluctuation : ±20% RH per hour or less Altitude : 0 to 2500m Atmospheric pressure : 760 hPa or more

1-3. Pow er Requirements

Do not plug the Pow er cord into a pow er outlet via an e xtension cord supplyi ng electricity to more than one unit.

Power source 120-127V, 50-60Hz 220-240V, 50-60Hz Voltage fluctuation +6%, -10% ±10% Frequency fluctuation ±3Hz

When any other electric appliance is sourced from the same power outlet, make sure that the current capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.

•

Ensure that the power outlet is not hidden behind any object, allowing the user to immediately unplug the power cord when necessary.

•

The power-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.

•

The power cord should not be cracked or scratched.

(4) Explanations for Items in the Service Mode

In the Service m ode, you can d isplay counte r value s or rese t the cou nte rs. The cou nte r value for I/C COUNT is stored in the EEPROM in the engine. Other counter values are stored in the EEPROM in the controller (controller board).

TOTAL COUNT:

The total number o f printed sheets after deliver y from the factory is displayed in 7 dig its. You cannot clear this counter.

LARGE SIZE COUNT:

The total number of printed sheets for A3 and ledger after delivery from the factory is displayed in 7 digits. Y ou cannot clear this counter.

STAPLE COUNT:

The number of times an optional stapler has been used is displayed in 6 digits. To reset the counter, select “RESET COUNT” with the Select key and press the Enter key. “RESET OK?” will be d isplayed on the LCD. Press the Enter key again to clear the counter.

I/C COUNT:

The number of times the PC drum in the imaging cartridge has been turned is displayed in 6 digits. To reset the counter, select “RESET COUNT” with the Select key and press the Enter key. “RESET OK?” will be d isplayed on the LCD. Press the Enter key again to clear the counter.

LOOP ADJUST T2-5, LOOP ADJUST T1, [LOOP ADJUST DUP]:

The loop value for tray 2 - 5, tray 1, and optional manual unit and duplex unit can be adjusted. The loop value set here will affect the registration compensation for paper (paper skew compensation). If registration is not correctly made, the loop value should be adjusted to correct it. (For registration compensation, see 2-3 “Paper Feed” in C “MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL”.)

SERVICE MESSAGE:

In the default setting (“ON ”), the Maintenance Menu will b e displayed normally. If “PERMANENT OFF” is set, no items and no “MAINTENANCE REQ#” will be displayed even if the Maintenance Menu is selected.
