If a puzzling or recurring problem occurs, check the following before calling a
service representative. It's also a good idea to check the ⇒ P.74 “Do's & Don'ts”
to make sure the paper and originals match what the copier can handle.

Absolutely Nothing Happens

• Is the main switc h on?

• Is the power cord plugged in?

• Did a breaker or a fuse blow out?

Something Happens, but Set Paper or Paper Sel ect Never Appear

• Check the indicators on the control panel. If any of them are lit, turn to ⇒ P.61.

Check that all covers and units are closed.

5

If Jams Occur Frequently

• Is your paper creased, damp, or otherwise damaged? ⇒ P.8.

• Are there visible bits of paper or other objects stuck in the machine? If there
are, remove them.

• Are you inserting the paper and original in straight? Always feed paper in
straight.

If Copies Look Wrong

• Are copies too dark or too light? Adjust the density (⇒ P.30).

• Is the background dirty no matter what kind of original you are copying?
Make sure the exposure glass and platen are clean (⇒ P.73).

• Is the image skewed? Make sure to insert the paper and the original straight
into the machine. If you have the original and Copy G uides (option), use
them.

White Spots Appear

• On the copy: try placing your copy paper with the other side facing up.

• At the leading edge: try placing your copy paper sideways.

• At the trailing edge: try giving a rising curl to the trailing edge. The curl
should go up, not down.

71

Troubleshooting

Creases

• Try setting your copy paper sideways.

• If long creases appear on copies, try setting your co py paper sideways, or try
changing the copy media se ttin g.

• If creases appear on copies made to transparent film, try setting your film
sheets sideways.

Copies Come Out Dog eared

• Try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up.

• Make sure your copy paper is undamaged.

Do's & Don'ts

CAUTION:

• When you m ove the machine, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet to avoid fire or e lectric shock.

• When the machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the
power cord.

• Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot.

• After copies are made continuously, the exposure glass may feel warm. This
is not a malfunction.

• The area around the ventilation hole may feel warm. This is caused by ex­haust air and is not a malfunction.

• Do not turn off the main switch while copying. Before turning off the main
switch, make sure that copying is completed.

5

• The machine might fail to produce good copy images if there is condensation
inside caused by a temperature change.

• Do not open the covers of the machine while copying. If you do, misfeeds
might occur.

• Do not move the machine while copying.

of the machine, a loss of machine settings, or use of the machine.

• Do not place more than one sheet of paper at a time on the bypass table.

• Center your paper on the copy table using the size marks. Then slide the pa­per straight into the copier until it stops.

• When copying to a long sheet of paper, lightly hold the sheet as the copier
pulls it in so that it goes in well.

• Do not make two sided copies.

• If you open the unit, make sure you close it within 5 minutes to keep light
from damaging th e copy drum .

• When copying to sh eets 35 " ×45" (90 cm ×1 15 cm) or larger, make sure the pa­per does not drag directly on the floor as the copier pulls it in. (You can spread
paper on the floor for this.)

• If your paper has an uneven or slanted edge, do not insert this edge in first.

• Do not make copies longer than 118 inches (3 m).

• Do not insert originals made of paper less the 52.3 g/m
thick). For such originals, please use the Carrier Sheet.
