4.1 GENERAL CAUTIONS
Do not turn off either of the power switches while any of the electrical components
are active. Doing so might cause damage to units such as the transfer belt, drum,
and development unit when they are pulled out of or put back into the copier.
4.1.1 DRUM
An organic photoconductor (OPC) drum is more sensitive to light and ammonia gas
than a selenium drum. Follow the cautions below when handling an OPC drum.
1. Never expose the drum to direct sunlight.
2. Never expose the drum to direct light of more than 1,000 Lux for more than a
minute.
3. Never touch the drum surface with bare hands. When the drum surface is
touched with a finger or becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth or clean it with
wet cotton. Wipe with a dry cloth after cleaning with wet cotton.
4. Never use alcohol to clean the drum; alcohol dissolves the drum surface.
Tables
Service
5. Store the drum in a cool, dry place away from heat.
6. Take care not to scratch the drum as the drum layer is thin and is easily
damaged.
7. Never expose the drum to corrosive gases such as ammonia gas.
8. Always keep the drum in the protective sheet when keeping the drum unit, or
the drum itself, out of the copier. Doing so avoids exposing it to bright light or
direct sunlight, and will protect it from light fatigue.
9. Dispose of used drums in accordance with local regulations.
10. When installing a new drum, do the Auto Process Control Data Adjustment (SP
2-962).
4.1.2 DRUM UNIT
1. Before pulling out the drum unit, place a sheet of paper under the drum unit to
catch any spilt toner.
2. Make sure that the drum unit is set in position and the drum stay is secured
with a screw before the main switch is turned on. If the drum unit is loose, poor
contact of the drum connectors may cause electrical noise, resulting in
unexpected malfunctions (RAM data change is the worst case).
3. To prevent drum scratches, remove the development unit before removing the
drum unit.

GENERAL CAUTIONS18 July, 2001
4.1.3 TRANSFER BELT UNIT
1. Never touch the transfer belt surface with bare hands.
2. Take care not to scratch the transfer belt, as the surface is easily damaged.
3. Before installing the new transfer belt, clean all the rollers and the inner p art of
the transfer belt with a dry cloth to prevent the belt from slipping.
4.1.4 SCANNER UNIT
1. When installing the exposure glass, make sure that the white p aint is at the rear
left corner.
2. Clean the exposure glass with alcohol or glass cleaner to reduce the amount of
static electricity on the glass surface.
3. Use a cotton pad with water or a blower brush to clean the mirrors and lens.
4. Do not bend or crease the exposure lamp flat cable.
5. Do not disassemble the lens unit. Doing so will throw the lens and the copy
image out of focus.
6. Do not turn any of the CCD positioning screws. Doing so will throw the CCD out
of position.
4.1.5 LASER UNIT
1. Do not loosen the screws that secure the LD drive board to the laser diode
casing. Doing so would throw the LD unit out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit, as they are adjusted in the
factory.
3. The polygon mirror and F-theta lenses are very sensitive to dust. Do not open
the optical housing unit.
4. Do not touch the glass surface of the polygon mirror motor unit with bare
hands.

4.1.6 CHARGE CORONA
1. Clean the corona wires with a dry cloth. Do not use sandpaper or solvent.
2. Clean the charge corona casing with water first to remove NOx based
compounds. Then clean it with alcohol if any toner still remains on the casing.
3. Clean the end block with a blower brush first to remove toner and paper dust.
Then clean with alcohol if any toner still remains.
4. Do not touch the corona wires with bare hands. Oil stains from fingers may
cause uneven image density on copies.
5. Make sure that the wires are correctly between the cleaner pads and that there
is no foreign material (iron filings, etc.) on the casing.
6. When installing new corona wires, do not bend or scratch the wire surface.
Doing so may cause uneven charge. Also be sure that the corona wires are
correctly positioned in the end blocks. (See Charge Corona Wire Replacement)
7. Clean the grid plate with a blower brush (not with a dry cloth).
8. Do not touch the charge grid plate with bare hands. Also, do not bend the
charge grid plate or make any dent in it. Doing so may cause uneven charge.
Tables
Service
4.1.7 DEVELOPMENT
1. Be careful not to nick or scratch the development roller.
2. Place the development unit on a sheet of paper after removing it from the
copier.
3. Never disassemble the development roller assembly. The position of the doctor
plate is set with special tools and instruments at the factory to ensure the
proper gap between the doctor blade and the development roller.
4. Clean the drive gears after removing used developer.
5. Dispose of used developer in accordance with local regulations.
6. Never load types of developer and toner into the development unit other than
specified for this model. Doing so will cause poor copy quality and toner
scattering.
7. Immediately after installing new developer, the TD sensor initial setting
procedure should be performed to avoid damage to the copier. Do not perform
the TD sensor initial setting with used developer. Do not make any copies
before doing the TD sensor initial setting.
8. When u sing a vacuum cleaner to clean the development unit casing, al ways
ground the casing with your fingers to avoid damaging the toner density sensor
with static electricity.
9. When replacing the TD sensor, the developer should be replaced and then the
TD sensor initial setting procedure (SP2-801) should be done, followed by
process control initialization (SP2-962).

GENERAL CAUTIONS18 July, 2001
4.1.8 CLEANING
1. When servicing the cleaning section, be careful not to damage the edge of the
cleaning blade.
2. Do not touch the cleaning blade with bare hands.
3. Before disassembling the cleaning section, place a sheet of paper under it to
catch any toner falling from it.
4.1.9 FUSING UNIT
1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot
roller and that it is movable.
2. Be careful not to damage the edges of the hot roller strippers or their tension
springs.
3. Do not touch the fusing lamp and rollers with bare hands.
4. Make sure that the fusing lamp is positioned correctly and that it does not touch
the inner surface of the hot roller.
4.1.10 PAPER FEED
1. Do not touch the surface of the pick-up, feed, and separation rollers.
2. To avoid paper misfeeds, the side fences and end fence of the paper tray must
be positioned correctly to align with the actual paper size.
4.1.11 USED TONER
1. We recommend checking the amount of used toner at every EM.
2. Dispose of used toner in accordance with local regulations. Never throw toner
into an open flame, for toner dust may ignite.

Change this value after replacing the
development unit with another one that
already contains toner.
For example, when using a development
unit from another machine for test
purposes, do the following:
1. Check the value of SP2-220 in both the
machine containing the test unit and the
machine that you are going to move it to.
2. Install the test development unit, then
input the V
for this unit into SP2-220.

This SP removes toner from the toner bank
to the toner hopper.
After turning the toner supply motor and the
toner bank motor on, the toner supply coil
clutch turns on and off at 2 second
intervals. The motors and clutch stop when
the toner near-end sensor (in the toner
bank unit) detects no toner.
Even if the sensor continues to detect
toner, this operation stops when the clutch
has been turned on and off 10 times, so
this SP may have to be repeated to clean
out the system completely.

D
damaged, the SC can only be reset by a
service representative (see the note below).
The copier cannot be operated at all.
The SC can be reset by turning the main
power switch off and on if the SC was
caused by incorrect sensor detection.
The copier can be operated as usual except
for the unit related to the service call.
The SC history is updated. The machine
can be operated as usual.
Enter SP mode, then turn the
main power switch off and on.
Turn the operation switch or
main power switch off and on.
A level B’ SC can only be reset
by turning the main power
switch off and on.
Turn the operation switch off
and on.
The SC will not be displayed.
All that happens is that the SC
history is updated.
NOTE: 1) If the problem concerns electrical circuit boards, first disconnect then
reconnect the connectors before replacing the PCBs.
2) If the problem concerns a motor lock, first check the mechanical load
before replacing motors or sensors.
3) When a Level A or B SC occurs while in an SP mode, the display does
not indicate the SC number. If this occurs, check the SC number after
leaving the SP mode. This does not apply to Level B’ codes.
