[1] GENERAL

1. Note for servicing

Pictogram

This Service Manual uses some pictographs to assure safe operation.

Please understand the meanings of pictographs before servicing.

WARNING: If this WARNING should be ignored, a serious

danger to life or a serial injury would be resulted.

CAUTION: If this CAUTION should be ignored, an injury or a

damage to properties would be resulted.

Meanings of pictographs

This pic togra ph mean s tha t a care must be taken. In the pictograph, the concrete content is drawn. (High temperature in this example)

This pictograph m ea ns inhibiti on . Th e c on cr e te content of inhibition is shown in or near the pictograph. (Inhibition of disassembly in this example)

●This pictograph means a thing which must be done. (Dis-

connecting the power plug from the power outlet in this example)

A. WARNING

1) Never use a power source of more than 15A, 100V. Avoid complex wiring, which may lead to a fire or an electric shock.

2) When any abnormality occurs, such as smoke or bad smell, do not use the machine. If used in abnormal conditions, a fire or an electric shock may be resulted.

3) Be sure to connect the grounding wire. If an electric leakage occurs without grounding, a fire or an electric shock may be resulted. To protect the machine and the power unit from lightening, grounding must be made.

4) When removing the cabinet of the machine, use an extreme care. There is a high voltage section inside the machine which may cause an electric shock when touched. Do not leave the machine with the cabinet removed. It is very dangerous for the user to touch the inside of the machine.

5) Do not damage, brake, or work the power cord. Do not put a heavy thing on the power cord. Do not pull or bend the power cord extremely. Otherwise, the power cord may be damaged to cause a fire or an electric shock.

6) Do not put a vessel with water in it on the machine. Do not put a metal piece on the machine, which may drop into the machine, causing a fire or an electric shock.

7) If water or a metal piece drops into the machine, turn off the power switch, disconnect the power plug, then remove the dropped thing.

8) Do not use a wet hand to disconnect or insert the power plug and to operate or service the machine. It may cause an electric shock.

B. CAUTION

1) Avoid installation on an unstable surface or a slant surface. Otherwise, it may drop from the surface, resulting in an injury. It is advisable to use the optional paper feed desk or the exclusive-use desk.

2) Avoid installation in a humid or dusty place. Otherwise, a fire or an elctric shock may be resulted.

3) The fusing section is very high. Be careful not to burn when servicing.

Fusing section

4) When disconnecting the power plug from the power outlet, do not pull the power cord. Otherwise, the cord may be damaged, resulting in exposed core or disconnection, causing a fire or an electric shock.

5) Do not throw toner or a toner cartridge in a fire. Otherwise, toner may pop and burn you.

6) When using the optional paper feed desk or the exclusive-use desk, be sure to fix the adjusters on the floor, and lock the casters. As shown in the figure, rotate the adjuster in the fixing direction until it makes contact with the floor. Lock the casters to fix the machine. (If the casters are not locked, the machine may gradually move so that the SPF cable may be rubbed with the wall, causing disconnection.

When moving the machine a little for reforming the office, turn the adjuster to release lock of the casters. (After moving, lock the adjusters and casters to fix the machine.)

7) Do not see the light source and the laser beams. Otherwise the eyes may be damaged.

8) When moving the machine, turn off the power switch and the heater switch, and be sure to disconnect the power plug from the power outlet. If not, the cord may be damaged to cause a fire or an electric shock.

9) It is very dangerous to perform reception or printing during servicing. When servicing with the cabinet removed, pull out the telephone line and the printer cable from the machine. (The laser print function and the Fax function are options.)

10)There are some sharp edges inside the machine. Be careful not to injure your fingers when servicing.

[5] UNPACKING AND

INSTALLATION

1. Installing conditions

1) Copier installation

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

• 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.

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

ing and proper ventilation.

4" (10 cm)

2) Power source

• Use an exclusive-use power outlet. If the power plug of this

machine is inserted into a power outlet commonly used with other illumination units, flickers of the lamp may be result. Use a power outlet which is not used commonly with any illumination units.

• Avoid complex wiring.

3) Grounding wire connection.

• To avoid danger, be sure to connect a grounding wire. If no

grounding wire is connected and a leakage occurs, a fire or an electric shock may be result.

3. Installation of developing cartridge

1) Open the manual paper feed tray.

2) Lift the knob and slide the side cover gently.

3) Open the front cover.

• Hold the both edge gently and open the front cover.

2. Removal of protective material and fixing screw

1) Remove all tapes and protective material.

• Remove all tapes, then open the document cover and remove

the protective material of sheet shape

2) Remove the fixing screw.

• Use a coin to remove the fixing screw.

• The fixing screw is required when transporting the machine.

Keep it in the tray. (Refer to the later description.)

4) Remove the screw from the upper section of the insertion port of the developer cartridge.

5) Shake a new developer cartridge a few times as shown.

• Shake it horizontally as shown with the arrow.

5 – 1

AR-205

6) Remove the pawls (3 positions) of the protective cover at the rear side.

7) Remove the protective cover.

• Pull the cover in the arrow direction to remove.

8) Insert the developer cartridge.

• Gently insert the developer cartridge along the guide until it

locks.

4. Removal and storage of fixing screw

1) Lift the knob and gently pull out the tray.

2) Hold the paper pressure plate and turn the fixing screw in the arrow direction.

3) Store the fixing pin and the fixing screw in the tray.

• Store the fixing screw which was removed in the above proce-

dure 2 and the fixing screw which was removed in procedure 2 of 2.

• Removal of protective material and fixing screw in the storage

place in the tray.

9) Fix the developer cartridge with the fixing screw which is packed together with the machine.

10) Close the front cover A, then close the side cover B.

• When closing the front cover, gently press the both sides.

• When closing the side cover, hold the knob.

• When closing the covers, be sure to close the front cover first,

then close the side cover. If closed in a wrong sequence, the covers may be broken.

5. Changing the copy paper size in the tray

1) Gently lift and pull out the paper tray until it stops.

2) Push the pressure plate down until it locks in place.

3) Squeeze the lock lever of the front guide and slide the front guide to match the width of the paper.

4) Move the left guide to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

• When using 11" ×17" copy paper, store the left guide in the slot

at the left front of the paper tray.

10) Use the ORIGINAL SIZE ENTER key to select the paper size which is set.

• Each time the ORIGINAL SIZE ENTER key is pressed, a

paper size will be indicated with a blinking paper size indicator.

11) Press the START key and then the PAPER SIZE ENTER key.

• To change the paper size setting of another tray, repeat steps

9 to 10 after pressing the START key.

5) Load copy paper into the tray.

6) Place the paper size plate in the front of the paper tray.

• The paper size indication which shows through the slot on the

front of the copier should match the selected paper size.

7) Push the paper tray firmly back into the copier.

8) To set the selected paper size, press and hold down the PAPER SIZE ENTER key. The selected paper feed location indicator and the corresponding paper size (which has been set) indicator will blink. All other indicators will go out.

• For paper size setting, ensure that the COPY mode has been

selected. However, if printer or facsimile output is being performed, paper size setting cannot be made even in the COPY mode.

9) Use the TRAY SELECT key to select the paper tray of which the paper size has been changed.

• Each time the TRAY SELECT key is pressed, a paper tray is

indicated with a blinking paper feed location indicator. If an optional paper feed unit is not installed, this operation is not needed.
