CAUTION

This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 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.

LASER WAVE – LENGTH : 780 795 Pulse times : 0.481 ms/6 mm

Out put power : 0.20 ± 0.03 mW

CAUTION

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION,

WHEN OPEN AND INTERLOCKS DEFEATED.

AVOID EXPOSURE TO BEAM.

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 an accessible emission level of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.

Note: After loading copy paper, to cancel	the blinking “P”
without restarting copying, press the	clear ( )	key.
The “P” in the display will go out and the ready (		) in-
dicator will light up.

9. Connecting the Telephone Line Cord

Plug one end of the telephone line cord into the jack on the unit marked “LINE” .Plug the other side into a standard (RJ11C) single-line telephone wall jack. Be sure not to plug this line cord

into the “TEL” jack. The “TEL” jack is used to attach an extension telephone or answering machine to the unit. (See “Connecting Other Devices” in this chapter for details.)

Note: If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for the power and telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or at most telephone specialty stores.

If desired, an answering machine or external telephone can be connected to the unit through the telephone jack, labeled “TEL”, on the rear of the unit.

●Connecting an answering machine to the unit allows you to receive both voice and fax messages when you are out. To use this feature, first change the outgoing message of your answering machine, and then set the reception mode of the unit to “A.M”. (Answering Machine mode) when you go out.

Note: If you are using distinctive ringing with an answering machine, you do not need to follow the procedure described below. (Please note that when distinctive ringing is used, the answering machine must be connected to a separate wall jack, not to your fax.)

The outgoing message of your answering machine should be changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their FAX START key.

Comments:

1)It is advisable to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you may have difficulty receiving faxes sent by automatic dialing.

2)Your callers can even leave a voice message and send a fax message on the same call. Modify your outgoing mes-

sage to explain that this can be done by pressing their FAX START key after leaving their voice message.

●You can connect an extension phone to the unit to make and receive calls like any other extension phone on your line. Even if you pick up the extension phone and hear a fax tone, the unit will automatically cut in and take over the line. Note, however, that if you also have a PC modem on the same line, you must turn on the Remote Reception function, and deactivate the Fax Signal Receive function. See “Setting Up the Unit for Use with a PC Modem” and “Using the Remote Reception Function” in Chapter 2).

Note: The Remote Reception function is initially set to “ON”.

11. POWER TO COPIER

1)Ensure that the power switch of the copier is in the OFF position. 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.

Setting conditions

1)Set copy conditions such as the copy quantity and the copy density with the operation section, and press the COPY button. The information on copy conditions is sent to the MCU.

Image scanning

2)When the COPY button is pressed, the scanner section starts scanning of images.

The light from the copy lamp is reflected by the document and passed through the lens to the CCD.

Photo signal/Electric signal conversion

3) The image is converted into electrical signals by the CCD circuit and passed to the MCU.

Image process

4) The document image signal sent from the CCD circuit is processed under the revised conditions and sent to the LSU (laser unit) as print data.

Electric signal/Photo signal (laser beam) conversion

5)The LSU emits laser beams according to the print data. (Electrical signals are converted into photo signals.)

6)The laser beams are radiated through the polygon mirror and various lenses to the OPC drum.

Printing

7)Electrostatic latent images are formed on the OPC drum according to the laser beams, and the latent images are developed to be visible images (toner images).

8)Meanwhile the paper is fed to the image transfer section in synchronization with the image lead edge.

9)After the transfer of toner images onto the paper, the toner images are fused to the paper by the fusing section. The copied paper is discharged onto the exit tray.
