COPIER INSTALLATION

GETTING STARTED

Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

●

Copier installation

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

●

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

Connect the copier to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

4" (10 cm)

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission le vel is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

NOTE:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration. However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.

Doing so will damage the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge, causing poor copy quality.

Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges in a dark place without removing from the package before use.

If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor copies may result.

GETTING STARTED

Cautions on handling

●

Before loading originals into the SPF, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips from them.

MAKING COPIES

Power on

Normal copying

Using the SPF

●

Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended that these originals be copied from the original table.

●

Special originals such as transparency film and tracing paper should not be fed from the SPF, but should be placed directly on the original table.

●

Image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm)) can occur at the leading edge of the copies. It can be 15/64" (6 mm) at the trailing edge of the copies which are made using the SPF. Also image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm) in total) can occur along the other edges of the copies.

Turn the power switch on.

●

It will take about 35 seconds for the copier to warm up. However, you can make desired settings and press the START ( ) key during warm-up. Copying will start after warm-up.

●

If the power is already on and all indicators except the POWER SAVE indicator are off, the copier is in the auto power shut-off mode. Press the START key in this case. See page 52, POWER SAVE MODES.

Ensure that no original is left on the original table.

Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals.

Set the originals face up in the document feeder tray.

●

The SPF indicator will light up. If this indicator does not light up, the originals are not properly set or the SPF is not properly closed.

●

The ORIGINAL SIZE indicator for the detected original size will light up, and the paper tray with the corresponding paper size will be automatically selected if that paper size is available.

●

The auto paper select function can be disabled using user program No.

8. If this function has been disabled, use the TRAY SELECT ( ) key to select the desired paper tray. See page 49, USER PROGRAMS.

●

To copy onto a different size paper, use the TRAY SELECT ( ) key to make the selection.

●

The bypass tray cannot be automatically selected.

Adjust the copy density.

●

This copier has three exposure modes to choose from — AUTOMATIC ( ), MANUAL ( ), and PHOTO ( ).

●

Automatic exposure is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the characteristics of the original are “read” by the exposure system and adjustments are automatically made. This optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of colored or shaded background areas. See page 28 to adjust the automatic exposure level.

NORMAL COPYING
