B. Various functions of digital system
Different from the conventional analog copiers, this machine employs
the digital system where the image data of a document scanned by
the CCD sensor (which converts photo signals into electrical signals)
are converted into digital signals. This digital system allows the independent zooming copy, black-white reversing copy, and centering
copy.

3. Installation requirements
To ensure safety and proper machine performance, please note the
following before initial installation and whenever the machine is to be
relocated.
1) The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection.
2) 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.
3) Do not install the machine where it is:
· damp or humid,
· exposed to direct sunlight,
· extremely dusty,
· poorly ventilated,
· subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes (e.g., near
an air conditioner or heater).
A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.
NOTE: The present recommended long term exposure limit for
ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m
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.
3
) calculated as an 8 hr. time-
Cautions
1) Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on
the drum will cause dirty copies.
2) The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.
3) Since a hard disk drive is built into the copier, be sure to turn the
power switch to the "OFF" position when moving the copier. Take
care not to subject the copier to any vibration or shock.

4) Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage
your eyes.
4) Since a hard disk drive is built into this copier, place the copier on
a firm, level surface. Choose an area which is not subject to any
vibration.
5) Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

5) Installation adjusters are provided on the optional stand/500-sheet
paper drawer.When moving the machine with the optional
stand/500-sheet paper drawer, be sure to raise the installation
adjusters. After moving the machine, lower the installation adjusters until they reach the floor to lock the machine in place. (If the
casters are not locked securely, the machine will gradually move
and the cables of the RADF and the SPF are rubbed against the
wall, causing internal disconnection.)

6) When copying is interrupted (for example, because the INTERRUPT function has been used, paper or toner has run out, a
misfeed has occurred, etc.), this copier will store the image data of
the originals read prior to the interruption. If copying of secret
documents is interrupted due to the above reasons, be sure to
either resume the interrupted copying by pressing the START key,
or clear the image data by pressing the clear all key after the
interrupt copying is completed or the trouble is cleared, because
the stored data may be printed by other operators.
The stream mode can be selected by the key
operation program. (Only group mode)
