MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a
non-rewireable (moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced,

a BSI or ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 marked

or and of the same rating as

the one removed from the plus must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use
the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the
plug supplied either cut-off the moulded plug (If this type is fitted) or remove by
undoing the screws if a rewireable plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing
the wiring code below.

DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed
immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances shold the
cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock
may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth
BLUE: Neutral
BROWN: Live

As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW must be connected to the terminal

in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol

, or
coloured green or green-and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

In some areas, the "POWER" switch positions are marked "I" and "0" on the copier
instead of "ON" and "OFF".

CAUTION: For a complete electrical disconnection, pull out the main plug.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily

accessible.

●

The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing
misfed paper .

●

Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage
your eyes.

●

Do not switch the system rapidly on and off. After turning the
system off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.

●

System power must be turned off before installing any supplies.

●

Place the system on a firm, level surface.

●

Do not install the system in a humid or dusty location.

●

When the system is not used for long time, for example for
consecutive holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the
power cord from the outlet.

●

When moving the system, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.

●

Do not cover the system with a dust cov er, cloth or plastic film while
the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat radiation, damaging the
system.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

SYSTEM INST ALLA TION

Improper installation may damage the system. Please note the following during
initial installation and whenever the system is moved.

If the Copia 9915D is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
condensation may form inside the system. Operation in this condition
will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the system at
room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Do not install your Copia 9915D in areas that are:

●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

●

subject to extreme temperature
or humidity changes, e.g., near
an air conditioner or heater.

The system should be installed near an accessible power outlet
for easy connection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that
meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

Connect the system to a power outlet which is not used for other electric
appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light
may flicker .

Be sure to allow the required
space around the machine
for servicing and proper
ventilation.

SYSTEM INST ALLA TION

A small amount of ozone is produced within the system during operation.
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm
(0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.
Howev er , since the small amount that is emitted may ha ve an objectionable
odor, it is advisable to place the system in a ventilated area.

CA UTIONS ON HANDLING

Be careful in handling the system as follows to maintain the performance of this
system.

Do not drop the system,
subject it to shock or strike it
against any object.

Do not expose the drum
cartridge to direct sunlight.

Doing so will damage the surface
(green portion) of the drum
cartridge, causing poor print
quality.

1

Getting started

Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridg es in a
dark place without removing from the package before use.

If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor print quality may result.

Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.

Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing poor print quality.
