INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

■ Environmment

CAUTION

• Avoid placing the copier on or in locations which
are unstable or not level. Such locations may
cause the copier to fall down or fall over. This
type of situation presents a danger of personal

injury or damage to the copier...............................

• Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If
dust or dirt become attached to the power plug,
clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or

electrical shock......................................................

• Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other
heat sources, or locations near flammable items,

to avoid the danger of fire. ....................................

• To keep the copier cool and facilitate changing of
parts and maintenance, allow access space as
shown below.
Leave adequate space, especially around the
rear cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated

out of the copier.....................................................

• During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount
does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however,
the copier is used over a long period of time in a poorly
ventilated room or when making an extremely large
number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To
maintain the appropriate environment for copy work, it is
suggested that the room be properly ventilated.

■ Power supply/Grounding the copier

WARNING

• DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other
than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in
the same outlet. These types of situations present

a danger of fire or electrical shock. .......................

• Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If
metallic objects come in contact with the prongs
on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock. .

• Always connect the copier to an outlet with a
ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an
earth connection is not possible, contact your

service representative. ..........................................

• Always use the caster stoppers to stabilize the
copier once it is in place to keep it from moving

and/or falling over and causing injury. ...................

Other precautions

• Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the copier. Install in an air­conditioned room (recommended room temperature:
around 68°F (20°C), humidity: around 65%RH) and
avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the
copier.

.

Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to
direct sunlight.

.

Avoid locations with vibrations.

.

Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.

.

Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.

.

Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

Other precautions

• Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to
the copier.

• The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect
device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is located/installed
near the equipment and is easily accessible.

■ Handling of plastic bags

WARNING

• Keep the plastic bags that are used with the
copier away from children. The plastic may cling

to their nose and mouth causing suffocation.........

• If the copier is moved after installation, the flooring may
be damaged by the casters depending on the flooring
material.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

■ Cautions when using the copier

WARNING

• DO NOT place metallic objects or containers with
water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or
near the copier. This of situation presents a
danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall

inside. ....................................................................

• DO NOT remove any of the covers from the
copier as there is a danger of electrical shock

from high voltage parts inside the copier. .............

• DO NOT damage, break or attempt to repair the
power cord. DO NOT place heavy objects on the
cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any
other type of damage.
These types of situations present a danger of fire

or electrical shock. ................................................

CHAPTER 3 HOW TO LOAD PAPER

1. How to load paper

Paper can be loaded into the two drawers and the multi-bypass.

(1) Precautions for loading paper

After unpacking the paper, fan it several times and then load into
the tray.

IMPORTANT

• Loading paper into the standard drawer, optional paper feeder
or multi-bypass when some paper is still remaining in each of
them may cause paper misfeeds.

Pull the drawer out toward you as far as it will go.

1

* Do not pull more than one drawer out at a time.

Hold the width adjustment lever and move it to align the

2

width guide with the required paper width.
Paper sizes are marked inside the drawer.

(2) Loading paper into the drawer

Up to 500 sheets of standard paper (75 or 80 g/m2/standard pa­per as specified by our company) or colored paper can be loaded
into the each drawer.

(Inch specifications)

• The each drawer can be set to hold paper of any desired size
from 11" ✕ 17" to 5 1/2" ✕ 8 1/2".

(Metric specifications)

• The each drawer can be set to hold paper of any desired size
from A3 to A5R and Folio.

IMPORTANT

• Set the type of paper (standard paper, recycled paper, letter­heads or colored paper) to be loaded in the drawer in “Paper
type (1st to 2nd cassette)” on page 6-6.

Hold the length adjustment plate and move it to align

3

with the required paper length.

3-1

CHAPTER 3 HOW TO LOAD PAPER

Set the paper flush against the left-hand wall of the

4

drawer.

IMPORTANT

• There is a sticker (1 in the illustration) indicating paper capac-

ity attached to the inside of the drawer. Do not load paper above
this limit.

• When loading paper into the drawer, make sure that the copy
side is facing upward. (The copy side is the side facing upward
when the package is opened.)

• Check that the length adjustment plate makes secure contact
with the paper. If there is a gap, adjust the position of the length
adjustment plate.

• If small-size paper jams frequently under high temperature and
high humidity conditions, reduce the number of sheets to the
level of the black line indicated on the sticker 1.

1

NOTE

• Before leaving the copier in disuse for a prolonged period of
time, remove the paper from the drawer(s) and seal it in its origi­nal packaging to protect from moisture. Also, when storing pa­per in a high temperature and high humidity environment, seal
it in a moisture-proof bag.

(3) Loading paper into the multi-bypass

Special paper as well as standard paper can be loaded into the
multi-bypass. When copying onto transparencies or thick paper,
be sure to use the multi-bypass.

NOTE

• Up to 200 sheets of standard paper, colored paper and letter­heads can be loaded into the multi-bypass.

• The types of special paper and the number of sheets that can
be loaded in the multi-bypass are:

- Transparencies: 25 sheets

- Standard paper (120g/m

IMPORTANT

• When setting special paper, such as transparencies and thick
paper, into the multi-bypass, select the type of paper by refer­ring to “Check bypass sizing” on page 6-6.

• For the copier with Inch Specifications:
When loading the transparency on the multi-bypass, put a same
size paper under the transparency and set together on the multi­bypass.
Otherwise, a last transparency would not be fed.

2

, 160g/m2): 100 sheets

Set the supplied paper size sheet so that the size of the

5

paper loaded can be checked by looking at the front of
the drawer.

Gently push the drawer back in.

6

* Check that the paper is kept under the claws of the
