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
• 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
• 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
• 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.................................................................................

Removing the packaging
1) Open the top cover of the box and remove the accessory box.
2) After removing the accessory box from
the finisher (step a), stand up the finisher upright with the four pads still attached (step b).
Note:
Do not remove the four pads from the
finisher at this time. Doing so will cause
the rail joint to come in direct contact with
the floor and become damaged.
3) Remove the tapes and packaging from
the tray side.
4) Remove the tapes holding the covers.
5) Remove the pads that have a red tab
attached to them and the securing material from inside the finisher.

The screws used differ for the 42/52
copies per minute copiers and the 62
copies per minute copiers.
• 42/52 cpm copiers: Secure the upper
front and rear using two of the supplied
M4 × 8 binding screws. Secure the lower
front and rear using two of the supplied
M4 × 14 binding screws.
• 62 cpm copiers: Secure all four positions
using the supplied four M4 × 14 binding
screws.

The screws used differ for the 42/52
copies per minute copiers and the 62
copies per minute copiers.
• 42/52 cpm copiers: Secure using two of
the supplied M4 × 8 binding screws. If a
paper feed desk is used, there are two
screw holes aligned vertically for each of
the front and rear sides of the left cover.

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
I.FEATURES
1.Accommodates large quantities of sheets.
●
Normally , the finisher holds a stack of sheets 147 mm in height in its two bins (smallsize paper: equivalent to 1000 sheets)/74 mm in height (large-size paper: equivalent to 500 sheets)
2.Has high paper transportation performance.
●
The finisher is capable of handling papers between 64 and 200 gm/m2.
3.Offers a job offset function.
●
The finisher has a job offset function for sorting non-stapled stacks of copies.
4.Offers four types of auto stapling.
●
The finisher offers a choice of four stapling modes (1-point stapling at rear , diagonal
stapling at front, diagonal stapling at rear, 2-point stapling).
5.Uses a buffer roller.
●
The use of a buffer roller enables the finisher to accept copies without interruption
from the copier even during stapling or offset operation.
6.Has a saddle stitch function.
●
The finisher can staple along the center of paper and fold it in two (up to 15 sheets).
