•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.

•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.

•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.

•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.

•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.

•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

•The socket-outlet should be installed near the machine and should be easily accessible.

IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN SELECTING AN INSTALLATION SITE

Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.

Caution	If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the machine. Operation
	in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least
	2 hours before use.

Do not install your machine in areas that are:

• damp, humid, or very	• exposed to direct sunlight
dusty

• poorly	• subject to extreme
ventilated	temperature or humidity
	changes, e.g., near an
	air conditioner or
	heater.

3

The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and disconnection.

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.

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.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

	12" (30cm)
12"	12"
(30cm)	(30cm)

A small amount of ozone is produced within the machine during operation. The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

Note:

The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3) calculated as an 8 hr. timeweighted average concentration.

However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is advisable to place the machine in a ventilated area.

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING THE MACHINE

Observe the following precautions when handling the machine to maintain top performance.

Do not drop the machine, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package before use.

•If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.

Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).

•Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

Safety precautions:

This Digital Copier is rated Class I and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH standards. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. For your safety, observe the precautions below.

•Do not remove the cabinet, operation panel or any other covers.

•The machine’s exterior covers contain several safety interlock switches. Do not bypass any safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into switch slots.

COPY FUNCTIONS

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN MAKING COPIES

Document glass and RSPF

•Paper in a different orientation from the original can be selected if the auto paper select or auto image function has been selected. In this case, the image of the original will be rotated.

•When copying a book or an original that has been folded or crumpled, press down gently on the RSPF. This will reduce shadow lines caused by uneven contact between the original and the document glass.

•When the center tray counter function is enabled, the number of pages that can be delivered to the output tray is

limited to 500 (A4 and 8-1/2" x 11" sizes only; the limit for all other sizes is 300 pages.). When the offset function is

used, the limit is approximately 300 pages. When the limit is reached, copying stops and the [START] key () light turns off. Remove the copies from the center tray and then press the [START] key () to resume copying. The center tray counter function can be disabled in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operator’s guide".)

Originals that can be used in the RSPF

A maximum of 100 sheet originals of equal size (8-1/2" x 11", 24 lbs. (90g/m2)) can be placed in the RSPF. Originals of different length can be placed together in the RSPF as long the widths are equal; however, some copy functions may not operate correctly.

Acceptable originals

Originals of size 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" having a weight of 9 lbs. to 34 lbs. (35g/m2 to 128g/m2) or 14 lbs. to 28 lbs. (52g/m2 to 105g/m2) for two-sided originals can be used.

Other considerations

•Use originals that are within the specified size and weight ranges. Originals outside the specified ranges may cause misfeeds.

•Make sure that there are no paper clips or staples on the original.

•If an original has damp spots from correction fluid or ink, or glue from pasteups, be sure it has dried completely before using it to make a copy. Otherwise the interior of the RSPF or the document glass may become soiled.

•The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds, smudging, and unclear images.

•Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, photographs

•Carbon paper

•Thermal paper

•Originals that are creased, folded, or torn

•Glued originals, cut-out originals

•Originals with binder holes

•Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals printed on thermal transfer paper
