2. Newly employed technology

Item Content Remark

1 LED printhead employed • Employment of the 4bit LED provides

16-gradation expressions for each of YMCK.

• Free from mechanical noises which are produced from the unit such as an LSU. Printing is started immediately without waiting for stabilization of the polygon motor speed.

• Lower power consumption than an LSU

2 Oil-less fusing system employed • Development of a new wax-free toner

• The wax-free fusing system provides a simplified structure and improved paper feed capability.

• Notes and remarks can be put on a copy image similar to normal page.

[5] UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

1. Installing (use) conditions

Before installing the machine, check that the following installing (use) conditions are satisfied.

If the installing (use) conditions are not satisfied, the machine may not display full performances, resulting in troubles. It may also cause safety problems. Therefore, be sure to arrange the installing (use) conditions before setting up the machine.

No. Content

1 Bringing space 2 Installing space 3 Power source (Capacity, fluctuation, safety) 4 Floor strength 5 Direct rays of the sun, dust, temperature, humidity, gases,

chemicals

A. Bringing space

For installation of a large size machine, be sure to check that the door size is great enough before bringing in.

B. Installing space

The following space must be provided around the machine in order to assure machine performances and proper operations.

If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing it.

Especially the space at the rear of the machine must be provided sufficiently. If not, the machine cannot exhibit functions against heat and dust, causing some troubles.

11.8" (30cm)

31.5"

(80cm)

23.6" (60cm)

(3) Power frequency, waveform

The frequency must be within the range of the specified frequency ±2%. If power waveform is deformed, a trouble may occur.

(4) Safety

Be sure to properly ground the machine.

(5) Power plug

Check the form of the power plug. If the shape does not match, do not use it.

D. Floor strength and level

This machine is considerably heavy and becomes heavier with an option installed.

The floor must be strong enough for assuring safety.

If not, color shift or image distortion may occur.

E. Direct rays of the sun, dust, temperature,

humidity, gasses, chemicals, vibration

(1) Temperature and humidity

This machine is designed to perform properly under the specified temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity exceeds the specified range, the machine may not operate properly and or cause equipment failure.

Especially when the humidity is too high, paper absorbs humidity to cause a paper jam or dirty copy.

23.6" (60cm)

C. Power source

(Capacity, voltage, frequency, safety, plug)

If the power specifications are not satisfied, the machine cannot exhibit full performances and may cause safety trouble.

Strictly observe the following specifications.

(1) Power capacity

Check that the following power capacity is satisfied. If not, additionally provide a power source.

Current capacity

Japan: 20A or more

100V: 15A or more

200V: 10A or more

(2) Power voltage

Measure the voltage during copying to check that the voltage is in the range of the specified voltage ±10%.

If the voltage is outside the specified range, use thicker lead wires to reduce impedance.

(An electrical work is required.)

Use of a step-up transformer is also available. In this case, the capacity must be great enough for the max. power consumption of the machine.

(Do not install the machine near a stove, a humidifier, or an air conditioner.)

Do not install the machine near a heater, a cooler, or a humidifier.

Dew may be formed inside the machine to cause a trouble. Use enough care for ventilation.

(2) Dust

If dust enters the machine, it may cause dirty copy and a paper jam, resulting in a shortened lifetime.

(3) Direct rays of the sun

If the machine is installed under the rays of the sun, the exterior of the machine may be discolored and abnormal copies may be produced.

(4) Gases and chemicals

Do not install the machine at a place where there are gases and chemicals. Especially be careful to avoid installation near a diazo-type copier, which produces ammonium gas.

Copy quality may be adversely affected and a trouble may be caused.

condition.

A. Implements, facility, and manpower

It is recommendable to use a forklift for bringing in the machine for safety.

If no forklift is available, man-power of four persons is required. The machine is considerably heavy, and requires safety precautions for delivery and installation.

Transit of the machine must be made in packed condition to the installing place.

B. Delivery

Remove the packing materials prior to installation in the ofice environment.

3. Unpacking

A. Unpacking procedure
