1. Installation Precautions

WARNING

• Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections to one outlet: they may cause fire or electric shock. When using an extension cable, always check that it is

adequate for the rated current. ...............................................................

• Connect the ground wire to a suitable grounding point. Not grounding the copier may cause fire or electric shock. Connecting the earth wire to an object not approved for the purpose may cause explosion or electric shock. Never connect the ground cable to any of the following: gas pipes, lightning rods, ground cables for telephone lines and water

pipes or faucets not approved by the proper authorities.........................

CAUTION:

• Do not place the copier on an infirm or angled surface: the copier may

tip over, causing injury. ...........................................................................

• Do not install the copier in a humid or dusty place. This may cause fire

or electric shock......................................................................................

• Do not install the copier near a radiator, heater, other heat source or

near flammable material. This may cause fire. .......................................

• Allow sufficient space around the copier to allow the ventilation grills to keep the machine as cool as possible. Insufficient ventilation may

cause heat buildup and poor copying performance................................

• Always handle the machine by the correct locations when moving it. ....

• Always use anti-toppling and locking devices on copiers so equipped. Failure to do this may cause the copier to move unexpectedly or

topple, leading to injury. ..........................................................................

• Avoid inhaling toner or developer excessively. Protect the eyes. If toner or developer is accidentally ingested, drink a lot of water to dilute it in the stomach and obtain medical attention immediately. If it gets into the eyes, rinse immediately with copious amounts of water and obtain

medical attention.....................................................................................

• Advice customers that they must always follow the safety warnings and

precautions in the copier’s instruction handbook. ...................................

2. Precautions for Maintenance

WARNING

• Always remove the power plug from the wall outlet before starting

machine disassembly. ............................................................................

• Always follow the procedures for maintenance described in the service

manual and other related brochures. ......................................................

• Under no circumstances attempt to bypass or disable safety features

including safety mechanisms and protective circuits. .............................

• Always use parts having the correct specifications. ...............................

• Always use the thermostat or thermal fuse specified in the service manual or other related brochure when replacing them. Using a piece

of wire, for example, could lead to fire or other serious accident............

• When the service manual or other serious brochure specifies a distance or gap for installation of a part, always use the correct scale

and measure carefully. ...........................................................................

• Always check that the copier is correctly connected to an outlet with a

ground connection. .................................................................................

• Check that the power cable covering is free of damage. Check that the

power plug is dust-free. If it is dirty, clean it to remove the risk of fire or

electric shock. .........................................................................................

• Never attempt to disassemble the optical unit in machines using lasers.

Leaking laser light may damage eyesight...............................................

• Handle the charger sections with care. They are charged to high

potentials and may cause electric shock if handled improperly..............

CAUTION

• Wear safe clothing. Avoid wearing loose clothing or accessories such

as ties which may be caught in rotating sections....................................

• Use utmost caution when working on a powered machine. Keep away

from chains and belts..............................................................................

• Handle the fixing section with care to avoid burns as it can be

extremely hot..........................................................................................

• Check that the fixing unit thermistor, heat and press rollers are clean.

Dirt on them can cause abnormally high temperatures. .........................

• Do not remove the ozone filter, if any, from the copier except for

routine replacement. ...............................................................................

• Do not pull on the AC power cord or connector wires on high-voltage

components when removing them; always hold the plug itself...............

• Do not route the power cable where it may be stood on or trapped. If

necessary, protect it with a cable cover or other appropriate item. ........

• Treat the ends of the wire carefully when installing a new charger wire

to avoid electric leaks. ............................................................................

• Remove toner completely from electronic components. .........................

• Run wire harnesses carefully so that wires will not be trapped or

damaged.................................................................................................

• After maintenance, always check that all the parts, screws, connectors and wires that were removed, have been refitted correctly. Special attention should be paid to any forgotten connector, trapped wire and

missing screws. ......................................................................................

• Check that all the caution labels that should be present on the machine according to the instruction handbook are clean and not peeling.

Replace with new ones if necessary.......................................................

• Handle greases and solvents with care by following the instructions

below: .....................................................................................................

· Use only a small amount of solvent at a time, being careful not to

spill. Wipe spills off completely.

· Ventilate the room well while using grease or solvents.

· Allow applied solvents to evaporate completely before refitting the

covers or turning the main switch on.

· Always wash hands afterwards.

• Never dispose of toner or toner bottles in fire. Toner may cause

sparks when exposed directly to fire in a furnace, etc..........................

• Should smoke be seen coming from the copier, remove the power

plug from the wall outlet immediately. ..................................................

3. Miscellaneous

WARNING

• Never attempt to heat the drum or expose it to any organic solvents such as alcohol, other than the specified refiner; it may generate toxic

gas. .........................................................................................................

1-2-1 Drum

Note the following when handling or storing the drum.

• While the cleaning unit and the developing unit are detached from the copier or the drum is being replaced, make sure that the drum surface is protected from strong, direct light.

• Keep the drum at an ambient temperature between –20°C/–4°F and 40°C/104°F and humidity not higher than 85% RH. Avoid abrupt changes in temperature and humidity even within the allowable ranges.

• Avoid exposing the drum to gases which are harmful to or may affect the quality of the drum.

• Handle the drum with care. Avoid impacts. Never touch the drum surface. If it is stained, clean it.

• If the copier is left open for more than 5 minutes for maintenance, remove the drum and store it in the storage bag. Reference: If the drum is left exposed to moderate light of 1000 lx for 5 minutes and

then stored in the dark for 5 minutes, the photoconductivity of the drum will recover enough to allow copying with no practical after effect from the exposure to light. However, exposure to direct sunlight (100,000 to 300,000 lx) should be absolutely avoided.

1-2-2 Developer and toner

Store the developer and toner in a cool, dark place. Avoid direct light, high humidity and temperature.

1-2-3 Dehumidifier

The dehumidifier prevents condensation inside the copier. As long as the power plug is connected, power is supplied to the dehumidifier even when the main switch is turned off. When the cassette heater (optional) is installed, as long as the power plug is connected, power is supplied to the cassette heater even when the main switch is turned off. Do not unplug the power cord when the humidity is 70% RH or higher. If the copier will not be used for a long time, unplug the power cord. You can select whether you wish to operate the dehumidifier by means of the dehumidifier ON/OFF switches. The dehumidifier switches should be kept ON during periods of high humidity (70% RH or higher).
