Troubleshooting
Others
If a puzzling or recurring problem occurs, check the following before calling a
service representative. It's also a good idea to check the ⇒ P.73 “Do's & Don'ts”
to make sure the paper and originals match what the copier can handle.
Absolutely nothing happens
• Is the main switc h on ?
• Is the power cord plugged in?
• Did a breaker or a fuse blow out?
Something happens, but Set Paper or RF Select never appear
5
• Check the indicators on the control panel. If any of them are lit, turn to ⇒ P.61.
Check that all covers and units are closed.
If Jams Occur Frequently
• Is your paper creased, damp, or otherwise damaged? ⇒ P.8.
• Are there visible bits of paper or other objects stuck in the machine? If there
are, remove them.
• Are you inserting the paper and original in straight? Always feed paper in
straight.
If Copies Look Wrong
• Are copies too dark or too light? Adjust the density (⇒ P.29).
• Is the background dirty no matter what kind of original you are copying?
Make sure the exposure glass and platen are clean (⇒ P.72).
• Is the image skewed? Make sure to insert t he paper and the original straight
into the machine. If you have the Original and Copy Guides (option), use
them.
White Spots Appear
• On the copy: try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up.
• At the leading edge: try setting your copy paper sideways.
• At the trailing edge: try giving a rising curl to the trailing edge. The curl
should go up, not down.
70
Others
Creases
• Try setting your copy paper sideways.
• If long creases appear on copies, try setting your copy paper sideways, or tr y
changing the copy media settin g.
• If creases appear on copies made to transparent film, try setting your film
sheets sideways.
Copies Come Out Dog Eared
• Try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up.
• Make sure your copy paper is undamaged.
Black streaks appear on copies
• Check that the exposure glass is clean.

Daily Maintenance
Clean the Exposure Glass & the Platen Plate
you should clean the copy and original tables with a damp cloth, then wipe them
with a dry cloth.

Do's & Don'ts
R
Do's & Don'ts
CAUTION:
•When you move the machine, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet to avoid fire or el ectric shock.
•When the machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the
power cord.
• Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot.
• After copies are made continuously, the exposure glass may feel warm. This
is not a malfunction.
• The area around the ventilation hole may feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a malfunction.
• Do not turn off the main switch while copying. Before turning off the main
switch, make sure that copying is completed.
• The machine might fail to produce good copy images if there is condensation
inside caused by a temperature change.
• Do not open the covers of the machine while copying. If you do, misfeeds
might occur.
• Do not move the machine while copying.
5
• The supplier shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting fr om a failure
of the machine, a loss of machine settings, or use of the machine.
• Do not place more than one sheet of paper at a time on the bypass table.
• Center your paper on the copy table using the size marks. Then slide the paper straight into the copier until it stops.
• When copying to a long sheet of paper, lightly hold the sheet as the copier
pulls it in so that it goes in well.
• Do not make two sided copies.
• If you open the unit, make sure you close it within 5 minutes to keep light
from damaging th e copy drum.
• When copying to sheet s 35" ×45" (90 cm ×115 cm) or larger, make sure the paper does not drag directly on the floor as the copier pulls it in. (You can spread
paper on the floor for this.)
• If your paper has an uneven or slanted edge, do not insert this edge in first.
• Do not make copies longer than 80 inches (2 m).
• Do not insert originals made of paper less the 52.3 g/m
thick). For such originals, please use the optional Carrier Sheet.

Troubleshooting
Where to Put Your Copier
Your copier should be installed by a qualified technician. If you need to transport your copier to a distant location, call your service center before the move.
You can of course move your copier around your office without calling the service center. If you do, remember that the temperature, humidity, and cleanliness
of the area around the copier may affect its performance. Choose the new location with care and follow the guidelines below.
Machine Environment
Your machine's location should be carefully chosen becau se environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.
Optimal Environmental Conditions
CAUTION:
•Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. A fire or an electric shock might occur.
•Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, it could cause injury.
CAUTION:
•If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a
continuous air turnover.
• Temperature: 50° to 86°F (15° to 30°C)
• Humidity: 20 to 80% RH
• To avoid possible ozone build-up make sure to install this copier in a large,
well ventilated room ensuring an air turnover of at least 1000 ft
son (30 m
without good ventilation, you may notice an odd smell. To keep the workspace comfortable, we recommend that you keep it well ventilated.
• Set your copier on a strong and level base. The copier must be level within a
quarter of an inch (5 mm) left to right and half an inch (10 mm) front to rear.
