A paper jam has occurred. The corrective action varies depending on the
location having the misfed paper. Remove the paper according to the corresponding instruction shown below.
✏ Be sure to remove the paper completely without tearing it. If a piece of the
paper remains inside the copier, the paper jam might recur or another fault
might occur.

S A location having misfed paper is
shown by an indicator on the operation panel.
S Several locations might be indicated simultaneously. Remove misfed paper
from all of the locations.
S When you open the original table, paper path section, or rear cover, the
copier turns itself off. However, the copy settings are kept stored.
S When you have removed misfed paper, the suspended copy settings are
displayed. Resume copying without changing the settings.
S If paper jams occur repeatedly, contact your service representative.
Do not remove any covers or screws other than those
specified in this manual. Some parts of the copier are at a
high voltage and could give you an electric shock. When
the copier needs to be checked, adjusted or repaired,
contact your service representative.
When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing
section because it could be very hot.

FUNCTIONS THAT CAN BE RESET
You can make the copier easier to use by resetting some functions to meet your
copying needs. When you want to reset a function, contact your service
representative.
You can reset the following functions:
Changing the Auto Reset time
The copier resets itself to the initial settings if it is idle for about 2 minutes during
or after copying. This is called "Auto Reset". The auto reset time can be set
from 1 to 5 minutes, or it can be turned off.
Copy count up or down
When copying starts, the indicator shows 1 and increments by one each time a
copy is made until copying ends. This display can be changed so that it
decrements by one (from the set number of copies) to show the number of
remaining copies.
Beeper on/off
The beeper heard when the keys are pressed can be disabled.
Disabling the "Auto Image Density" function
By default, the "Auto Image Density" function is used when the copier is turned
on. If originals that are not suitable for automatic density adjustment are often
copied, the "Auto Image Density" function can be disabled.
Enabling the "lower copy exit"
By default, the "upper copy exit" is selected when the copier is turned on. If
paper that is not suitable for the upper copy exit (e.g., A0, 36"
× 26" K) is often used, the "lower copy exit" can be enabled.
× 48" K/ A1, 24"
Enabling the frequently used paper selection
The frequently used paper selection can be enabled to omit the paper selecting
operation when the copier is turned on.
Changing the "Auto Image Density"
If copies consistently come out too dark or too light even when the "Auto Image
Density" function is selected, the target density of this function can be changed.

DO’S AND DON’TS
S Since some parts of the copier are supplied with high electrical voltage, touch
only the parts specified in this manual.
S While copying, do not turn off the main switch. When you turn off the copier,
confirm that all copy runs have finished.
S Do not step on or trip on the power cord.
S Do not unplug the power cord even after copying. This copier has the
anticondensation heaters to protect the internal parts from dew when the
ambient temperature changes. If you unplug the power cord, the anticondensation heaters do not work. However, disconnect the power cord for
safety when you will not use the copier for a long period.
S Do not open the original cover, original table, paper path section, and roll
feeder during copying. Otherwise, the copier stops a copy run causing a
paper jam.
S Do not move or slant the copier during copying.
S Do not remove or attach from and to the copier any screws or parts other
than those specified in this manual.
S Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside
the machine.
S Do not spill water or other liquid on the copier.
S Do not lean on the rear cover.
S Do not obstruct the ventilation hole by placing or leaning an object in front
of the hole. The ventilation hole protects the temperature from rising inside
the copier. If the temperature rises excessively inside the machine, a fault
might occur.
MAINTAINING YOUR COPIER 51
DO’S AND DON’TS
S To avoid possible build-up ozone, make sure to locate this copier in a large
well-ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m

S When the main switch is in the Stand-by position, the anticondensation
heaters are on. In case of emergency, unplug the machine’s power cord.
Then contact your service representative.
52 MAINTAINING YOUR COPIER
DAILY MAINTENANCE
If the exposure glass is dirty, you cannot make copies as you want. Clean it if
you find it dirty.
S When you clean the exposure glass, use the following clothes:
• Well-wrung damp cloth
• Dry cloth
S For cleaning internal parts other than the exposure glass, contact your
service representative.
✏ Do not use any chemical cleaner or organic solvent such as thinner and
benzine. If they get into the copier or melt plastic parts, a failure might occur.
Wipe the exposure glass with the

Notes on Paper
S Do not set the following paper. Otherwise, a paper jam might occur.
• Bent, folded, or creased paper• Torn paper
• Perforated paper• Non-smooth paper
• Slippery paper• Thin paper that has low stiffness
S Do not make a copy on paper with any kind of coating, such as thermosen-
sitive paper, art paper, aluminum foil, and carbon paper. Otherwise, a fault
might occur.
S If you make a copy on edged paper, the copy might be creased or a part of
the image might not be copied.
S When you use roll paper, the roll must be black.
S When film is delivered from the copier, it is softened due to the fusing heat.
Place the film on a flat surface until the remaining heat is removed from the
film.
S If you make a copy on rough paper, the copy image might be blurred.
S Keep paper away from humidity. Once you unpack the container of paper,
store the paper in a polyvinyl bag in the following locations:
• Location free from direct sunlight • Location with the humidity of 70
• Flat location

54 MAINTAINING YOUR COPIER
Do not incinerate toner or toner containers. Toner dust
might ignite when exposed to open flames.

WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER
This section shows the precautions you should follow when you move the copier
if your office changes the equipment layout or moves to another location.
S When you move the copier, contact your service representative.
Installation Conditions
S Install the copier in a location with the following range of temperature and
humidity. Otherwise, the copier might not operate properly or the main frame
might be deformed.
• Temperature: 10 - 30 °C
• Humidity: 15 - 90 %
S Even when the temperature and humidity fall within the ranges above, do
not install the copier in the following locations:
• Location subject to direct sunlight
• Location near a heater, cooler, or humidifier
For customers using an ultrasonic humidifier
If you use tap or well water for an ultrasonic humidifier, impurities contained in
the water become white powder and settle on the internal parts of the copier
causing copies to be dirty. In particular, when you use the humidifier
continuously for a long time, a humidifier demineralizer is recommended.
S Install the copier on a flat, stable floor or base. If the floor or base is slant,
you cannot make copies properly. The copier must be level within 5 mm
both front to rear and left to right. If the copier is not stabilized, it might cause
a fault as well as a danger to users.
S Avoid a location subject to vibrations, such as near a factory. Otherwise, a
fault might occur due to the vibrations.
S To avoid a possible build-up of ozone, make sure to locate this copier in a
large well ventilated room that has air turnover of more than 30m
S Install the copier in a location free from dust. If dust gets into the copier, a
fault might occur.
