PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Be sure that the power cord is unplugged before disassembling or assembling parts of the copier or peripherals.
2. The wall outlet should be near the copier and easily accessible.
3. Note that electrical voltage is supplied to some components of the copier and the paper tray unit even while the main power switch is off.
4. If you start a job before the copier completes the warm-up or initializing period, keep hands away from the mechanical and electrical components until job execution has started. The copier will start making copies as soon as warm-up or initialization is finished.
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 nontoxic, but getting either of these into your eyes may cause temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops or flush with water. If material remains in eye or if discomfort continues, 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 relevant models.
LITHIUM BATTERIES
Incorrect replacement of lithium battery(s) on the FCU may pose risk of explosion. Replace only with the same type or with an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructi ons.
SAFE AND ECOLOGICAL DISPOSAL
1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly if exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, developer, and organic photoconductors in accordance with local regulations. (These are nontoxic 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.
!
WARNING Use of controls not specified in this manual, or performance of adjustments or procedures not specified in this manual, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
!
WARNING FOR LASER UNIT WARNING: Turn off the main switch before atte mpting any of the
procedures in the Laser Unit section. Laser beams can cause serious damage to eyes.

24 July, 2001 PRECAUTIONS

3. REPLACEMENT AND AD JUSTMENT

3.1 PRECAUTIONS

3.1.1 GENERAL

!
CAUTION Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine before starting any of the replacement procedures described in this section.
But note that you should not turn off the main switch while mechanical parts are active, as this may cause parts to stop out of home position. Attempting to remove or install the PCU or other such units while parts are out of home position may result in damage. Wait for operation to stop before turning off the machine.

3.1.2 LITHIUM BATTERIES

!
CAUTION: Lithium Batteries Incorrect replacement of lithium battery(s) on the FCU poses risk of explosion. Replace only with the same type or with an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Adjustment
Replacement

3.1.3 PCU (PHOTOCONDUCTOR UNIT)

The PCU consists of the OPC drum, charge roller, development unit, and cleaning components. Observe the following precautions when handling the PCU.
1. Never touch the drum surface with bare hands. If the drum surface is dirty or if you have accidentally touched it, wipe it with a dry cloth, or clean it with wet cotton and then wipe it dry with a cloth.
2. Never use alcohol to clea n the drum. Alcohol will dissolve the drum surfac e.
3. Store the PCU in a cool dry place.
4. Do not expose the drum to corrosive gases (ammonia, etc.).
5. Do not shake a used PCU, as this may cause toner and developer to spill out.
6. Dispose of used PCU components in accordance with local regulations.

3.1.4 TRANSFER ROLLER

1. Never touch the surface of the transfer roller with bare hands.
2. Be careful not to scratch the transfer roller, as the surface is easily damaged.
3-1
Page 37
PRECAUTIONS 24 July, 2001

3.1.5 SCANNER UNIT

1. Use alcohol or glass cleaner to clean the exposure and scanning glass. This will reduce the static charge on the glass.
2. Use a blower brush or a water-moistened cotton pad to clean the mirrors and lenses.
3. Take care not to bend or crease the exposure lamp’s ribbon cable.
4. Do not disassemble the lens unit. Doing so will throw the lens and copy image out of focus.
5. Do not turn any of the CCD positionin g screws. Doing so will throw the CCD out of position.

3.1.6 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 ad justment.
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, the lenses, or the surface of the polygon mirror with bare hands.

3.1.7 FUSING UNIT

1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contac t 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.
Adjustment
Replacement

3.1.8 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.

Page 38
24 July, 2001 SPECIAL TOOLS AND LUBRICANTS

3.1.9 IMPORTANT

1. The machine will automatically start toner agitation when you install a new PCU. Be sure to wait for initialization to finish before reopening the front cover or turning off the main switch.
2. If the optional anti-condensation heater (for the optional paper tray unit) is installed, keep the copier's power cord plugged in even while the main switch is off, so that the heater remains energized.

DUMPING THE FUSER TEMPERATURE LOG 24 July, 2001

4.4 DUMPING THE FUSER TEMPERATURE LOG

The FCU monitors the fuser temperature and maintains a log of the most recent temperature values. If a heating-related SC error occurs (error code "9-22"; SCs 541 to 552), you may wish to print out a dump of the logged data before clearing the SC condition. The printout can then be submitted for analysis.
To dump the log, proceed as follows.
1. Before clearing the SC, use SP7-955 to write "02h" into address 40191C. This freezes the log data.
2. Clear the SC.
3. Use SP-992 setting "3" ( 5.1.5) to print out a dump of addresses 401900 to 410CFF.
4. Use SP7-955 to write "00h" into 40191C. This will restart temperature logging.

[0.0 ~ 1.0 / 0.0 / 0.1 mm/step]
When making many copies of an original that contains vertical lines (such as in tables), the paper may not separate correctly.

The machine supplies toner over a total of 15 seconds (1.5 second on, 1.5 second off, repeated 5 times).
[0 = None / 1 = 15 s / 2 = 25 s]
To increase the speed of the first copy, the mirror motor begins idling when the user sets an original, touches a key, or opens the platen cover or DF. If this setting is left at the default (25 s), the motor will stop if the user does nothing for 25 s. If the setting is “0”, the motor will not switch off during standby. (Regardless of the setting, the motor will switch off when the machine enters low-power mode.)

Notch Selection923*
Selects the value of the center ID adjustment notch for the ID adjustment LEDs. Applies only to the mode selected by SP4-921. [–1 = Light / 0 = Normal / +1 = Dark]
Normally the center notch is 3 (range 1–5). If –1 is selected, each notch shifts down (becomes lighter). If +1 is selected, each notch shifts up (becomes darker).
