Safety Notices

Important Safety Notices

Prevention of Physical Injury

1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the copier and peripherals, make sure that the power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the copier and easily accessible.
3. Note that some components of the copier and the paper tray unit are supplied with electrical voltage even if the main power switch is turned off.
4. If a job has started before the copier completes the warm-up or initializing period, keep hands away from the mechanical and electrical components because the starts making copies as soon as the warm­up period is completed.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while the copier is operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with your bare hands.

Health Safety Conditions

Toner and developer are non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes by accident, it may cause temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops or flush with water as first aid. If unsuccessful, get medical attention.

Observance of Electrical Safety Standards

The copier and its peripherals must be installed and maintained by a customer service representative who has completed the training course on those models.

Safety and Ecological Notes for Disposal

1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, developer, and organic photoconductors in accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.

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.
of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
• Use may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
WARNING FOR LASER UNIT
WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the procedures in the Laser Unit section. Laser beams can seriously damage your eyes.

Installation Requirements

• Before installing options, please do the following:
• If there is a printer option in the machine, print out all data in the printer buffer.
• Turn off the main switch and disconnect the power cord, the telephone line, and the network cable.

Environment

–Temperature and Humidity Chart–
• Temperature Range: 10°C to 32°C (50°F to 89.6°F)
• Humidity Range: 15% to 80% RH
• Ambient Illumination: Less than 1,500 lux (do not expose to direct sunlight)

• Avoid areas exposed to sudden temperature changes:
1) Areas directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner.
2) Areas directly exposed to heat from a heater.
• Do not place the machine in areas where it can get exposed to corrosive gases.
• Do not install the machine at any location over 2,000 m (6,560 ft.) above sea level.
• Place the machine on a strong and level base. (Inclination on any side should be no more than 5 mm.)
• Do not place the machine where it is subjected to strong vibrations.

Machine Level

Front to back: Within 5 mm (0.2") of level
Right to left: Within 5 mm (0.2") of level

Minimum Space Requirements

Place the copier near the power source, providing clearance as shown:
A (front): 750 mm (30")
B (left): 150 mm (6")
C (rear): 50 mm (2")
D (right): 250 mm (10")

6. Distribute a pack of developer [D] to all openings equally.
• Do
not spill the developer on the gears [E]. If you have spilled it, remove the developer by using
a magnet or magnetized screwdriver.
• Do not turn the gear [E] too much. The developer may spill.
7. Reassemble the PCU and reinstall it.
8. Shake
9. Remove the bottle cap [G] and install the bottle on the holder. (Do not touch the inner cap [H].)
10. Set the holder (with the toner bottle) in the machine.
the toner bottle [F] several times. (Do not remove the bottle cap [G] before you shake the bottle.)

11. Pull out the paper tray [I] and turn the paper size dial to the appropriate size. Adjust the positions of the end and side guides.
• To move the side guides, release the green lock on the rear side guide.
Install the optional ARDF, ADF, or platen cover.
12.
13. Plug in the main power cord and turn on the main switch.
14. Activate the SP mode and execute "Devlpr Initialize" (SP 2214 1).
15. Wait until the message "Completed" shows (about 45 seconds).
16. Activate the User Tools and select the menu "Language."
17. Specify a language. This language is used for the operation panel.
18. Load the paper in the paper tray and make a full size copy, and make sure the side-to-side and leading edge registrations are correct.
