CAUTION

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.

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 main switch 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 optical 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.

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.

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

2. Note for servicing and handling

When the main unit power is repeatedly turned OFF/ON rapidly (for about 1sec), the IC (OA982) on the MCU PWB may malfunction to cause an error (E1-00 Communication error), which does not boot the machine. In case of this error, the blank display is kept for several tens seconds and then "E100" is displayed on the panel display.

Turn off the power and keep it for more than 10sec. Then turn on the power. When the machine is booted.: There is no problem in the MCU PWB. When the machine is not booted.: The MCU PWB trouble

[5] UNPACKING AND

INSTALLATION

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

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.

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

ing and proper ventilation.

Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and toner 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.

8. Loading the paper tray

Note: Make sure that the paper is not torn, is free of dust, and has

no wrinkles or curled edges.

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 on the pressure plate of the paper tray.

5) Fan the paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure that 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.

• If the paper is not fanned, double-feeds or misfeeds may occur.

• Make sure the stack of paper is straight before loading it. When

adding paper, take the remaining paper out and combine it into a single stack with the new paper.

• Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and

type.

• When loading paper, ensure that there is no space between the

paper and the guide, and make sure that the guide is not set too narrow and causes the paper to bend. Incorrect loading will cause the paper to skew or misfeed.

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

2. To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to secure it as shown below.

Pressure plate lock

4) Squeeze the lock lever of the front guide and slide the paper guide (A) to match the width of the paper, and move the paper guide (B) to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

Paper guide (B)

• The front guide is a slide-type guide. Grasp the locking knob

on the guide and slide the guide to the indicator line of the paper to be loaded.

• The left guide is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then

insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded.

Paper guide (A)

6) Gently push the paper tray back into the machine. Note:

• If you loaded a different size of paper than was loaded previously in the tray.

• When not using the machine for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the machine for an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.

9. Power to copier

1) Ensure that the power switch of the copier is in the OFF posi-

tion. Insert the attached power cord into the power cord socket at the rear of the copier.

2) Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.

3) The document stopper may fall down by vibrations during transit

of the product. If documents are set under such a state, the JAM display may be indicated.

If the JAM display is indicated, remove the documents, turn OFF/ON the power SW, complete initializing of the RSPF, then set the documents again.
