

Always unplug the copier whene ver anyth ing unusual is observed du ring operation. Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of the copier and furniture.

NOTE

=Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room= A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this copier. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For a comfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be well ventilated.

Remarque

=Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée= Une quantité d’ozone négligeble est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du copieur quand celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dont l’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation prolongée du copieur est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un environnment réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur.

NERGY STAR® Guidelines for energy efficiency.

C1173O001AA

What is an Energy Star Copier ?

Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turn off or “go to sleep” after a period of inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copier’s annual electricity costs by over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set to automatically make double sided copies. An organization's paper costs can be reduced and the volume of paper sent into the waste stream will decline. It takes 10 times more energy to produce a piece of paper than it does to make a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper also means decreased national energy co nsump tion.

Recycled Paper (USA market only)

Your Minolta Copier has been designed to use the following Recycled Paper

The copier provides three different types of special paper setting, each having a specific purpose as detailed below. The setting can be made by using User’s Choice. ☞ p. 4-11

: Recycled paper

When this setting is made, the Display asks y ou whether or not to use that particular drawer as a possible candidate in the Auto Paper mode. You may be using both recycled as well as plain paper loaded in your copier. If, for example, you make this setting for the drawer loaded with recycled paper, the copier does not select that particular drawer in the Auto Paper mode. This allows you to make copies on plain paper first.

Auto Dual Function in Sort Mode

When 10 (*5) or less copies are made from an original set consisting of more than 50 (*2 5) pages in Sort Mode, the Auto Dual function is automatically activated to allow the Sorter or Staple Sorter to continue sorting copies using the 11th (*6th) to 20th (*10th) Bins.

Toner Replenisher

Touching “Toner Replenisher” sets the co pier into the auxiliary toner replenishing mode. The copier tends to exhau st the supply of toner rapidly when making a numb er of copies from an origi nal with dark solid areas such as a photo. As a result, the image density of the copy will become lighter. In such a case, you can use Toner Replenisher to regain the normal image density quickly.

NOTES

• Do not turn OFF the Power Switch or open the Front Door while the copier is replenishing toner.

• Toner is not replenished if the image density is sufficiently high.

• The toner replenishing sequence ends automatically.
