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.

Warning!

This product is a class A product. If it is operated in households, offices or similar surroundings, it can produce radio interferences at other appliances, so that the user has to take adequate countermeasures.

This Service Manual uses some pictographs to assure safe operation.

Please understand the meanings of pictographs before servicing.

WARNING: If this WARNING is ignored, serious injury or death

could occur.

CAUTION: If this CAUTION is ignored, an injury or damage to

property could occur.

A. Warning for servicing

1) Be sure to use the rated voltage and the rated current specified on the rating label. Avoid complex wiring. It may cause a fire.

2) If smoke or abnormal smell occurs, stop servicing and disconnect the power plug. It may cause a fire.

3) Be sure to set the ground wire. If not, a fire or an electric shock may occur. The ground wire is required also for protecting the machine from lightning.

4) If the ground wire is connected to the following places, an explosion, fire, or electric shock could result. Be sure to avoid it.

• Gas pipe

• Lightning conductor

• Water pipe (which is not approved as a ground pipe by the

authority), water faucet

• Ground wire for telephone

5) Do not cut or modify the power cord. Do not put a weight on the power cord. Do not bend or pull it extremely. These actions could result in fire.

6) Keep the power cord away from a heater or a heated material. Remove dust from the power plug. If the power plug with dust on it should be inserted into the power outlet, it may cause a fire or an electric shock.

7) Do not put a container with water in it, or a small piece of metal on the machine. If water or a metal piece would drop inside the machine, it could cause a fire or an electric shock.

8) When touching the power plug, inserting/removing the telephone line connector, or operating the machine, be sure to dry and clean your hands to prevent against an electric shock.

B. Cautions for servicing

1) Except when in a communication test or other unavoidable situations, be sure to disconnect the power plug, the printer cable, the network cable, and the telephone line from the machine when servicing.

2) There are several heated areas in the machine, which can cause a burn if touched. Use great care when servicing.

3) There are some high voltage sections in the machine, which may cause an electric shock. Use great care when servicing.

4) Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a screwdriver or other reflecting material in the laser path. Reflected laser beam can cause injury to your eyes.

5) When servicing with the machine operating, use great care not get caught by chain, belt, gear, of other driving sections.

6) Do not leave the machine with the cabinet removed. If any other person than the serviceman would touch the machine, he or she could be injured by fire or electric shock.

7) Be careful to protect your eyes from toner, developing agent, and ink. Be careful not to inhale them. If toner, developing agent, or ink should enter your eyes, wash them with water and consult a doctor if necessary.

8) There are some sharp edges in the machine. Be careful not to injure your fingers when servicing.

9) Do not put toner or waste toner or a container with toner or waste toner from the copier into a fire.

10)When replacing the lithium battery attached to the PWB, be sure to use the one specified. If the specification of the battery is not the one spcified, the battery may explode causing a breakdown or malfunction of the machine.

11)When carrying a part of the unit with a PWB or an electronic part, be sure to put it in an anti-static-electricity bag. Otherwise a breakdown or malfunction may occur.

C. Note for installation place

The machine performances depend on the environmental conditions of the installation areas. Avoid installation in the following areas:

1) Avoid high temperature, high humidity, low temperature, low humidity. Avoid areas subject to a rapid change in temperature and humidity. If installed in such a place, paper may be dampened and condensation may form inside the machine, causing paper jam or dirty copy. For use and storage of the machine, refer to the specifications described below.

2) Avoid areas with excessive vibration. It may cause a breakdown of the machine.

3) Avoid a poorly ventilated area. This machine uses the static electricity copy process, ozone is generated in the machine. The quantity of ozone generated is designed to a harmless level. If, however, the machine is used continuously in a poorly ventilated place, there may be a smell of ozone. Therefore install the machine in a well-ventilated area.

4) Avoid area with direct sunlight. Direct sunlight may deform plastic parts or discolor and spoil toner, causing dirty copy or a breakdown of the machine.

5) Avoid area with ammonium or organic gases. This machine which uses an organic photoconductor (OPC) drum, the drum may be damaged by ammonium or organic gases. Avoid installation near a diazo type copier. It may cause dirty copy or a breakdown of the machine.

6) Avoid a dusty area. If dust enters the machine, it may cause dirty copy or a breakdown of the machine.

7) Avoid installation near a wall. Some machines have an exhaust and intake vent. If the exhaust or intake is obstructed, it may cause dirty copy or a breakdown of the machine.

8) Avoid installation on an unstable surface. The machine could drop or tip over causing an injury or a breakdown of the machine. If the paper feed desk or an option desk is available, it is advisable to use it. When using an option desk, be sure to fix the adjusters on the floor and lock the casters.
