PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

1
I InstallatCon
Site
To ensure safety and utmost performance of the copier, the copier should NOT be used in a place:
0
Where it will be subject to extremely high or low temperature or humidity.
0
Which is exposed to direct sunlight.
0
Which is in the direct air stream of an air conditioner, heater or ventilator.
0
Which puts the operator in the direct stream of exhaust from the copier.
0
Which has poor ventilation.
0
Where ammonia gas might be generated.
0
Which does not have a stable, level floor.
0
Where it will be subject to sudden fluctuations in either temperature or humidity.
If a cold room is quickly heated, condensation forms inside the copier, resulting in blank spots in the copy.
0
Which is near any kind of heating device.
0
Where it may be splashed with water.
0
Which is dirty or where it will receive undue vibration.
0
Which is near volatile flammables or curtains.
H
Power Source
Use an outlet with a capacity of
115/l
20/l
27V, 13.2A
or more, or
200/220/24OV,

0
Never connect by means of a multiple socket any other appliances or machines
to the outlet being used for the copier.
0
Make the following checks at frequent intervals:
l
Is the power plug abnormally hot?
l
Are there any cracks or scrapes in the cord?
l
Has the power plug been inserted fully into the outlet?
l
Does something, including the copier itself, ride on the power cord?
0
Ensure that the copier does not ride on the power cord or communications cable
of other electrical equipment, and that it does not become wedged into or under­neath the mechanism.
1
Grounding
To prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical leakage, always ground the copier.
l
Connect the grounding wire to:

HANDLING OF THE CONSUMABLES

Before using any consumables, always read the label on its container carefully.
0
Use the right toner. The applicable copier model name is indicated on the Toner
Bottle.
1
l Paper is apt to be easily damaged by dampness. To prevent absorption of
moisture, store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded into the Drawer, in a sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.
0
Keep consumables out of the reach of children.
0
Do not touch the PC Drum with bare hands.
0
Store the paper, toner, and other consumables in a place free from direct sunlight
and away from any heating apparatus.
0
The same sized paper is of two kinds, short grain and long grain. Short grain paper
should only be fed through the copier crosswise, long grain paper should only be
fed lengthwise.
0
If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water
immediately.
0
Do not throw away any used consumables (PC Drum, starter, toner, etc.). They are
to be collected.
NOTE
Do not burn, bury in the ground, or throw into the water any consumables (PC Drum, starter, toner, etc.).

1. PC Drum
The PC Drum is an aluminum cylinder coated with a photosensitive semiconductor. It is used as the medium on which a visible developed image of the original is formed.
(For more details, see p. M-l 0.)
2. Drum Charging
The PC Drum Charge Corona Unit is equipped with a Comb Electrode and a Scorotron Grid to
deposit a uniform negative charge across the entire surface of the PC Drum.
(For more details, see p. M-26.)
3. Image Erase
Any areas of charge which are not to be developed are neutralized by lighting up
(For more details, see p. M-27.)
LEDs.
4. Exposure
Light from the Exposure Lamp reflected off the original is guided to the surface of the PC Drum and reduces the level of the negative charges, thereby forming an electrostatic latent image.
(For more details, see p. M-30.)
5.
Developing
Toner positively charged in the Developer Mixing Chamber is attracted onto the electrostatic latent image changing it to a visible, developed image. A DC negative bias voltage is applied to the Sleeve/Magnet Roller to prevent toner from being attracted onto those areas of the PC Drum which correspond to the background areas of the original.
(For more details, see p. M-l 4.)
6. Paper Feeding
Paper is fed either automatically from the 1 st or 2nd Drawer, or manually via the Manual Bypass Table. The Drawer has fingers that function to separate the top sheet of paper from the rest at take-up.
(For more details, see p. M-43.)
7. Image Transfer
The single-wire Image Transfer Corona Unit applies a DC negative corona emission to the underside of the paper, thereby attracting toner onto the surface of the paper.
(For more details, see p. M-30.)
8. Paper Separation
The single-wire Paper Separator Corona Unit applies an AC corona emission to the underside of the paper to neutralize the paper. In addition, mechanical paper separation is provided by the two PC Drum Paper Separator Fingers fitted to the Imaging Unit.
(For more details, see p. M-30)
9. Cleaning
Residual toner on the surface of the PC Drum is scraped off by the Cleaning Blade.
(For more details, see p. M-20.)
10. Main Erase
Light from the Main Erase Lamp neutralizes any surface potential remaining on the surface of the PC Drum after cleaning.
(For more details, see p. M-38.)
11. Transport
The paper is fed to the Fusing Unit by the Suction Belts.
(For more details, see p. M-56.)
12. Fusing
The developed image is permanently fused to the paper by a combination of heat and pressure applied by the
(For more details, see p. M-57.)
Upper
and Lower Fusing
Rdlers.
13. Paper Exit
After the fusing process the paper is fed out by the Paper Exit Roller onto the Copy Tray.
(For more details, see p. M-60.)

DRIVE SYSTEM

1
This copier is equipped with two main drive motors, PC Drive Motor Ml that drives the upper half of the copier (Imaging Unit) and Main Drive Motor M2 which gives drive for the lower half of the copier (paper take-up/feeding and transport mechanism and Fusing Unit). Each has its own drive transmitting gears and timing belts as illustrated below.

The photoconductive drum used in this copier is the organic photoconductor (OPC) type. The drum is made up of two distinct, semiconductive materials on an alumi­num alloy base. The outer of the two layers is called the Charge Transport Layer (CTL), while the inner layer is called the Charge Generating Layer (CGL).
The PC Drum has its grounding point inside at its rear end. When the Imaging Unit is installed in the copier, the shaft on which the PC Drum Drive Coupling Gear is mounted contacts this grounding point.
Handling Precautions
This photoconductor exhibits greatest light fatigue after being exposed to light over an extended period of time. It must therefore be protected from light by a clean, soft cloth whenever the Imaging Unit has been removed from the copier. Further, use utmost care when handling the PC Drum to prevent it from being contaminated.
