●

damp, humid, or very dusty

●

exposed to direct sunlight

●

poorly ventilated

COPIER INSTALLATION

If the copier is moved from a cool place to a w arm place, condensation may f orm inside the copier . Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leav e the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours bef ore use .

●

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 flick er.

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

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 av erage concentr ation. However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.

MAKING COPIES

Normal copying

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.
