Mono-component wax-free toner. Designed for easy maintenance
Designed for easy maintenance
Process control technology, which allows user adjustment.

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.

B. Scanner function (Option)

The scanner function is enabled by canceling the product key in the MFP model. This function also requires installation of 256MB expansion memory.
(1) PUSH SCAN
PUSH SCAN is used to send scan data to PC or a file server by the operation on the machine operation panel.
PUSH SCAN has the following three modes:
SCAN TO E-MAIL (SMTP) Scan data area attached to an E-mail.
SCAN TO FILE SERVER (FTP) Scan data are sent to a file server by FTP. The URL can be e-mailed simultaneously.
SCAN TO DESKTOP (FTP) Scan data are sent to the desktop user. (SHARPDESK and the
network scanner tool are required.)
b. Basic operations (PUSH SCAN)
Network protocol TCP/IP, SMTP, FTP, (HTTP) Trial mode Supported by the service diag.
The upper limit is 500 scans (surfaces). Without canceling the product key, scanning functions are enabled. 500 counts in total of color and black-and-white scans. No counter for the trial mode. Resolution level: [lowest] or [lower] key only.
Destination registration 500 items of scan to E-mail from Embedded Web Server + group, and 100itmes of Scan to FTP + Desktop (Max.
600 items can be registered.) Scan to E-mail and group can be registered from the operation panel. A destination name can be set with max. 18 characters in two bytes (or 36 characters in one byte).
An E-mail address can beg set with max. 50 characters in one byte. Address book The static address book stored in MFP is supported. Destination select Selected from the operation panel.
Selection of two or more destinations is allowed. (Only Scan to E-mail)
Transmission to temporary user is available.
CC: / BCC: Send enable Sender select Selected from the senders (20) registration list by the key operation on the operation panel.
If it is not set, the default registered on the Web is used.
Setting can be made with the key operator program. Image setup Image quality setup Color (RGB, each 8bit), Monochrome binary (1bit)

operation.) Manual setup (Automatic detection cancel: Fixed sizes) Manual setup (Automatic detection cancel: Other than fixed sizes) AB series: mm setting, inch series: inch setting
a. Operation flow (PUSH SCAN)
1. Push [IMAGE SEND] button on the operation panel to switch to the main menu of the image send mode.
2. Press [ADDRESS DIRECTORY] or [E-MAIL ADDRESS] button to set a destination. (The local address book cannot be retrieved.)
3. According to the necessity, set the sender with [SENDER LIST] button.
4. According to necessity, select the scanning conditions with [EXPOSURE], [RESOLUTION], [FORMAT] and [ORIGINAL] buttons.
5. Press the color start key or the black-and-white start key to start scanning. When the color start key is pressed, scanning is made in color. When the black-and-white start key is pressed, scanning is made in black and white. Engine operates according to the setting made, such as: LED of the color start key is turned on or LED of mono start key is turned on.

(2) PULL SCAN (NETWORK TWAIN)
Once the network Twain Driver has installed onto PC, user can made pull scan with TWAIN-support application.
For making pull type scan, the product key entry (release the func­tion) and installation of the additional 256MB memory for each Printer and ICU/NIC/HDD are required. The network TWAIN driver is planned to be delivered with Whale-II base unit.
Note that user cannot make pull scan only with this driver.

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
100V: 15A 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.

2. Transit and delivery

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

1) Remove the PP band.
2) Remove the top case.
3) Remove the internal packing pads and the items packed together with the machine.
4) Remove the machine from the package.
(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 diazo­type copier, which produces ammonium gas.
Copy quality may be adversely affected and a trouble may be caused.
(5) Vibration
Avoid installation near a machine which produces vibrations. If vibrations are applied to the copier machine, copy images may
be deflected and a trouble may be caused.
