CAUTION

This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of spot damage to the retina.

The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time of servicing.

1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as a unit, not as individual parts.

2) Do not look into the machine with the mainswitch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner cartridge, and drum cartridge.

3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected when removing and installing the opti

cal system.

4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.

Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.

This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040 of the CDRH standard and IEC825. This means that this machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The foregoing is applicable only to the 220V model, 230V model and 240V model.

At the production line, the output power of the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.57 MILLI-WATT PLUS 20 PCTS and is maintained constant by the operation of the Automatic Power Control (APC). Even if the APC circuit fails in operation for some reason, the maximum output power will only be 15 MILLI-WATT 0.1 MICRO-SEC. Giving and accessible emission level of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.

Caution

This product contains a low power laser device. To ensure continued safety do not remove any cover or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

1. Copier installation

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

Caution: 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:

• damp, humid, or very dusty

• exposed to direct sunlight

• poorly ventilated

2. 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 car-

tridge, causing poor print quality.

• 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. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servic-

ing and proper ventilation.

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 print quality may result. Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge. Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing poor

print quality.

4 or 5 times

Be sure to hold the handles on both sides of the unit to unpack the unit and carry it to the installation location.

5. Removing protective packing materials

1) Remove all pieces of tape shown in the illustration below.

Then open the RSPF and remove protective materials. After that, take out the bag containing the TD cartridge.

3) Push gently on both sides of the front cover to open the cover.

4) Remove the TD cartridge from the bag. Remove the protective paper. Hold the cartridge on both sides and shake it horizontally four or five times. Hold the tab of the protective cover and pull the tab to your side to remove the cover.

5) Gently insert the TD cartridge until it locks in place while pushing the lock release button.

Lock release button

6. Installing the TD cartridge

1) Open the multi-bypass tray, and then open the side cover.

2) Remove the CAUTION tape from the front cover and remove the two protective pins from the fusing unit by pulling the strings upward one at a time.

6) Close the front cover and then the side cover by pressing the round projections near the side cover open button.

Caution: When closing the covers, be sure to close the front cover

securely and then close the side cover. If the covers are closed in the wrong order, the covers may be damaged.

7. Loading paper

1) Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray out until it stops.

2) Remove the pressure plate lock. Rotate the pressure plate lock in the direction of the arrow to remove it while pressing down the pressure plate of the paper tray.

AL-2051 UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION 5 - 2

3) Store the pressure plate lock which has been removed in step

2). To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to fix it on the relevant location.

4) Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper width and length. Squeeze the lever of paper guide (A) and slide the guide to match with the width of the paper. Move paper guide (B) to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

Paper guide (B)

5) Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure the edges go under the corner hooks.

Note: Do not load paper above the maximum height line ( ).

Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.

9. Software

The CD-ROM that accompanies the machine contains the following software:

MFP driver

Printer driver

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.

The printer driver includes the Print Status Window. This is a utility that monitors the machine and informs you of the printing status, the name of the document currently being printed, and error messages.

Scanner driver*

The scanner driver allows you to use the scanning function of the machine with TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant applications.

Printer Status Monitor

"Printer Status Monitor" allows the user to check on the computer screen whether or not the machine is able to print.

It provides information on error states such as paper misfeeds and shows the configuration of the machine (number of trays, etc.) by means of illustrations.

Available paper sizes and paper remaining are also indicated.

Button Manager*

Button Manager allows you to use the scanner menus on the machine to scan a document.

Sharpdesk*/Network Scanner Tool*

Sharpdesk is an integrated software environment that makes it easy to manage documents and image files, and launch applications. Network Scanner Tool is a utility that helps you use Scan to Desktop. Those are contained in the separate Sharpdesk CD-ROM.

* The scanning feature can only be used with computers that are

connected to the machine by a USB cable. If you are connected to the machine by a LAN connection only the printer function can be used.

6) Gently push the paper tray back into the unit.

8. Power to copier

Ensure that the power switch of the unit is in the OFF position. Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet. Turn the power switch on the left side of the unit to the "ON" position. The start ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators which show the initial settings of the operation panel will also light up to indicate the ready condition.
