INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

■ Environmment

CAUTION

• Avoid placing the copier on or in locations which
are unstable or not level. Such locations may
cause the copier to fall down or fall over. This
type of situation presents a danger of personal

injury or damage to the copier. .............................

• Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If
dust or dirt become attached to the power plug,
clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or

electrical shock.....................................................

• Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other
heat sources, or locations near flammable items,

to avoid the danger of fire. ...................................

• To keep the copier cool and facilitate changing of
parts and maintenance, allow access space as
shown below.
Leave adequate space, especially around the
rear cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated

out of the copier....................................................

Rear:

Left:
19 11/16"
50 cm

Front:
23 5/8"
60 cm

Other precautions

• Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the copier. Install in an air­conditioned room (recommended room temperature:
around 68°F (20°C), humidity: around 65%RH) and
avoid the following locations when selecting a site for
the copier.

11 13/16"
30 cm

Right:
19 11/16"
50 cm

• To prevent the copier from tipping over, the optional
caster kit must be installed when the copier is installed
with an optional paper feeder.

• During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount
does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however,
the copier is used over a long period of time in a poorly
ventilated room or when making an extremely large
number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To
maintain the appropriate environment for copy work, it is
suggested that the room be properly ventilated.

■ Power supply/Grounding the copier

WARNING

• DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other
than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in
the same outlet. These types of situations

present a danger of fire or electrical shock. .........

• Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If
metallic objects come in contact with the prongs
on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.

• Always connect the copier to an outlet with a
ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an
earth connection is not possible, contact your

service representative. .........................................

Other precautions

• Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to
the copier.

• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect
device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is located/installed
near the equipment and is easily accessible.

■ Handling of plastic bags

WARNING

.

Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to
direct sunlight.

.

Avoid locations with vibrations.

.

Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.

.

Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.

.

Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

• If the floor is delicate against casters, when this product
is moved after installation, the floor material may be
damaged.

• To prevent the possibility of accidents due to tilting the
copier body, always turn the desk’s stopper bolts until
they make firm contact with the floor during initial
installation or whenever the machine is moved.

• Keep the plastic bags that are used with the
copier away from children. The plastic may cling

to their nose and mouth causing suffocation........

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

■ Cautions when using the copier

CAUTION

WARNING

• DO NOT place metallic objects or containers with
water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or
near the copier. This of situation presents a
danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall

inside. ...................................................................

• DO NOT remove any of the covers from the
copier as there is a danger of electrical shock

from high voltage parts inside the copier. ............

• DO NOT damage, break or attempt to repair the
power cord. DO NOT place heavy objects on the
cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any
other type of damage.
These types of situations present a danger of fire

or electrical shock. ...............................................

• NEVER attempt to repair or disassemble the
copier or its parts as there is a danger of fire,
electrical shock or damage to the laser. If the
laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it

causing blindness.................................................

• If the copier becomes excessively hot, smoke
appears from the copier, there is an odd smell, or
any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a
danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the main
switch OFF ( ) immediately, remove the power
plug from the outlet and contact your service

representative. .....................................................

• If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other
fluids, etc.) falls into the copier, turn the main
switch OFF ( ) immediately. Next, remove the
power plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of
fire or electrical shock. Then contact your service

representative. .....................................................

• DO NOT pull the power cord when removing it
from the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the
wires may become broken and there is a danger
of fire or electrical shock. (ALWAYS grasp the
power plug when removing the power cord from

the outlet.) ............................................................

• ALWAYS remove the power plug from the outlet
when moving the copier. If the power cord is
damaged, there is a danger of fire or electrical

shock. ...................................................................

• If the copier will not be used for a short period of
time (overnight, etc.), turn the main switch OFF
( ).
If it will not be used for an extended period of
time (vacations, etc.), remove the power plug
from the outlet for safety purposes during the

time the copier is not in use. ................................

• ALWAYS hold the designated parts only when

lifting or moving the copier. ..................................

• For safety purposes, ALWAYS remove the power
plug from the outlet when performing cleaning

operations. ...........................................................

• If dust accumulates within the copier, there is a
danger of fire or other trouble. It is therefore
recommended that you consult with your service
representative in regard to cleaning of internal
parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished
prior to seasons of high humidity. Consult with
your service representative in regard to the cost

of cleaning the internal parts of the copier. ..........

• DO NOT remove or connect the power plug with
wet hands, as there is a danger of electrical

shock. ...................................................................

• ALWAYS contact your service representative for

maintenance or repair of internal parts. ...............
