• Always store fresh toner supplies or empty bottles or cartridges in a cool, dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Laser Safety

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.
• Use
of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

SD Card Appli Move

Overview
The service program "SD Card Appli Move" (SP5-873) lets you to copy application programs from one SD card to another SD card.
Slot 1 and Slot 2 are used to store application programs. However, more than two optional applications are supplied for this machine. In that case, you can move application programs from Slot 2 to Slot 1 with the following procedure.
Obey these precautions during the SD Card Appli move procedure:
authentication data is moved with the application program from an SD card to the other SD card.
• The Authentication fails if you try to use the SD card after you move the application program from this card to another SD card.
• Do not use an SD card if it has been used for some other work, for example, on a computer. Normal operation is not guaranteed when such SD card is used.
• Store the original SD card in a safe location after the procedure. The original SD card cannot be used but it must be saved because (1) the original card is the only proof that the user is licensed to use the application program, and (2) you may need to check the SD card and its data to solve a problem in the future.

General

• Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine before attempting any of the procedures in this section.

Precautions on Disassembly

Use extreme caution when removing and replacing components. The cables in the machine are located very close to moving parts; proper routing is a must.
After components have been removed, any cables that have been displaced during the procedure must be restored as close as possible to their original positions. Before removing any component from the machine, note any cable routings that may be affected.
Before servicing the machine:
1. Verify that documents are not stored in memory.
2. Remove the toner cartridge before you remove parts.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Work on a flat and clean surface.
5. Replace with authorized components only.
6. Do not force plastic material components.
Make sure all components are returned to their original positions.
Laser unit
1. Do not loosen or adjust the screws securing the LD drive board on the LD unit. Doing so will throw the LD unit out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit, as these are permanently adjusted at the factory. If replacement of the LD drive board is necessary, replace the entire LD unit.
3. Keep the polygon mirror and toroidal lens free of dust. Laser performance is very sensitive to dust on these components.
4. Do not touch the shield glass or the surface of the polygon mirror with bare hands.
5. Do not adjust the Laser Synchronization detector on the LD unit, as these are permanently adjusted at the factory. If the position of the Laser Synchronization detector has changed from the factory set position, SC 322 will be shown.

2. Be careful not to scratch the transfer roller, as the surface is easily damaged.
Fusing
1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot roller and that the roller can rotate freely.
2. Be careful to avoid damage to the hot roller stripper pawls and 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.
Paper Feed
1. Do not touch the surface of paper feed rollers.
2. To avoid misfeeds, the side and end fences in each paper tray must be positioned correctly so as to align with loaded paper size.

Releasing Plastic Latches

Many of the parts are held in place with plastic latches. The latches break easily, so release them carefully.
To remove such parts, press the hook end of the latch away from the part to which it is latched.

Effectiveness of Duplex/Combine Function

Duplexing and the combine functions reduce the amount of paper used. This means that less energy overall is used for paper production, which improves the environment.
1. Duplex:
Reduce paper volume in half!
2. Combine mode:
Reduce paper volume in half!
3. Duplex + Combine:
Using both features together can further reduce paper volume by 3/4!
91
Page 94
7. Energy Saving

To check the paper consumption, look at the total counter and the duplex counter.
The total counter counts all pages printed.
For one duplex page, the total counter goes up by 2.
• For a duplex job of a three-page original, the total counter goes up by 3.
The duplex counter counts pages that have images on both sides.
• For one duplex page, the duplex counter goes up by 1.
• For a duplex job of a three-page original, the duplex counter will only increase by 1, even though two sheets are used.
Recommendation
Please explain these features to the customers so they can reduce their paper usage.
