•Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes .
2. Installation requirements
Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following
during initial installation and whenever the
machine is moved.
1. The machine 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.
•For the power supply requirements, see the name plate on the back of
the main unit.
Note: Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same
outlet, the light may flicker.
3. Do not install your machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•exposed to direct sunlight
•poorly ventilated
• su bject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
4. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing

B. Cautions
•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
• When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during
prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.
• When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while
the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Do not make any modifications to this machine. Doing so may result in
personal injury or damage to the machine.
•Do not make copies of anything which is prohibited from copying by law.
The following items are normally prohibited from printing by national
law . Other items may be prohibited by local law.
Money, Stamps, Bonds, Stocks
Bank drafts, Checks, Passports, Driver’s licenses
•Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the

[5] UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
1. Installing conditions
A. Copier installation
Do not install your copier in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•exposed to direct sunlight
•poorly ventilated
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
•Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.
B. Power source
•Use an exclusive-use power outlet. If the power plug of this machine is
inserted into a power outlet commonly used with other illumination
units, flickers of the lamp may be result. Use a power outlet which is not
used commonly with any illumination units.
•Avoid complex wiring.
C. Grounding wire connection.
•To avoid danger, be sure to connect a grounding wire. If no grounding
wire is connected and a leakage occurs, a fire or an electric shock may
be result.
2) Open the front cover.
•Hold the both sides and pull down to open.
3) Loosen the screw and remove the developer cartridge.
4) Remove the developer tank from the developer cartridge.
2. Removal of protective material and fixing
screw
1) Remove all tapes and protective material.
• Remove all tapes, then open the document cover and remove the
protective material of sheet shape
2) Remove the fixing screw.
•Use a coin to remove the fixing screw.

If the size of the loaded paper is different from the size shown in the
display, follow the steps below to change the paper size setting of the
tray.
The paper size setting cannot be changed during copying, printing, fax
printing (when the fax option is installed), or interrupt copying, or when a
misfeed has occurred. However, if the machine is out of paper or out of
toner, the paper size setting can be changed during copying, printing,
and fax printing.
The paper size cannot be set for the bypass tray.
4) Press the [] or [] key to select the paper tray for which the
paper size is being changed.

(2) MG roller main pole position adjustment
1) Remove and separate the waste toner box and put the developing
unit on a flat surface.
2) Tie a string to a needle or a pin.
3) Hold the string and bring the needle close to the MG roller
horizontally. (Do not use paper clip, which is too heavy to make a
correct adjustment.) (Put the developing unit horizontally for this
adjustment.)
4) Do not bring the needle into contact with the MG roller, but bring it to
a position 2 or 3mm apar t from the MG roller. Mark the point on the
MG roller which is on the extension line from the needle tip.
5) Measure the distance from the marking position to the top of the
doctor plate of the developing unit to insure that it is 18mm.
If the distance is not within the specified range, loosen the fixing
screw A of the main pole adjustment plate, and move the adjustment
plate in the arrow direction to adjust.
3) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction, and tighten the
developing doctor fixing screw. (Perform the same procedure for the
front and the rear frames.)
4) Check the clearance of the developing doctor. If it is within the
specified range, then fix the doctor fixing screw with screw lock.
*When inserting a thickness gauge, be careful not to scratch the
developing doctor and the MG roller.
