1. Note for servicing

Pictogram

This Service Manual uses some pictographs to assure safe operation.

Please understand the meanings of pictographs before servicing.

CAUTION: If this CAUTION is ignored, an injury or damage to property could occur.

A. Cautions for servicing

1)Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty printouts.

2)The fusing unit is extremely hot. Exercise care in this area.

Fusing unit

3)Do not look directly at the light source of the scanner module. Doing so may damage your eyes.

4)Five adjusters are provided on all optional stand/paper drawer units. These adjusters should be lowered until they contact the floor.

AR-NS3 Extended memory

When installing a paper feeding device or a duplex/bypass device, be sure to reattach the rear cabinet, the AC inlet cover, and the harness cover of the main unit at the end of installation as needed.

When installing a controller board, a facsimile unit, and other electric devices, be sure to install them at a time.

Only off center adjustment is needed for AR-DU3.

For installation of an option unit, refer to the Service Manual of the option unit.

2. Note for installation place

3. Unpacking procedure

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 of the main unit.

3)Do not install your machine 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.

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