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

Printing a test pattern for detecting eraser lamp disconnection
>>Eraser
Description
Prints a page that includes a test pattern (black bar with approximately 1 cm width) using
high voltage output control of engine/high voltage PWB. If the eraser operates normally, the
black bar is printed. If the eraser does not operate normally, the bar is not printed.
Purpose
To check for disconnection based on printing of the black bar. The conventional selfdiagnostic function does not check the eraser lamp disconnection error (error code 5300
[E5]).
Procedure
1. Load paper into the paper cassette.
2. Enter the service mode [>>Eraser].
3. Press the ENTER key. Message “>>Eraser ?” will be displayed.
4. Press the ENTER key.
5. A status page or a menu map will be printed. If the eraser lamp is normal, a page
including a test pattern (black bar with approximately 1 cm width) is printed.

2-1-1 Paper feed/conveying section
Paper feed/conveying section consists of the paper feed unit that feeds paper from the paper cassette and the MP tray
paper feed unit that feeds paper from the MP tray, and the conveying section that conveys the fed paper to the transfer/
separation section.
(1) Paper feed section/paper cassette
Paper cassette is the universal type that is applicable to various paper sizes by adjusting the paper guides and stopper
and approximate 250 pages can be put in.
Mechanism in the paper cassette consists of the cassette actuator board that lifts the paper in order to let it touch the
pickup roller and the retard roller that prevents papers from multiple feeding. Paper that is drawn out by the rotation of
pickup roller of the paper feed unit is then sent in between the feed roller and the retard roller. Function of the built-in
torque limiter in the retard roller gives weak resistance force against the rotation. Normally, when only a page is drawn
out by the rotation of pickup roller, the paper is conveyed to the printer by the rotation of feed roller on its own. If the
pickup roller drew out two lapped pages somewhy, the upper paper is conveyed by the feed roller and the lower paper
stays due to the rotation resistant force of the retard roller because the friction force between papers is smaller than the
rotation resistance force of the retard roller and then the multiple paper feed can be prevented.
