Parts marked with “” are important for maintaining the safety of the set. Be sure to replace these parts with
specified ones for maintaining the safety and performance of the set.

The contents are subject to change without notice.
CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040 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.

B. Operational descriptions
(1) Paper feed operation
a. Preliminary operation before paper feed
1) Set paper in the tray, and insert the tray into the machine. The tray
sensor turns on.
2) The lift-up motor operates to lift the tray.
3) The paper upper limit sensor turns on to stop the tray at the specified position.
b. Paper feed operation
1) When copy/print operation is started, the motors (MM, FUM, VPM,
and TRM) and the clutch (TRC) are turned on to turn on the solenoid (T1PUS) at the timing of paper pickup. This rotates and falls
the take-up roller to pick up paper.
2) At the same time, the paper feed roller rotates to feed paper to the
transport section. At that time, the separation roller rotates to prevent against double feed of paper.

[Paper Transport Section]
Outline
The paper transport section serves the function of transferring paper
from each paper feed port to the registration roller section.
Paper from manual feed, paper feed tray units 1 and 2 (optional), and
the right paper feed tray of the paper feed tray units 1 and 2 is transported horizontally, whereas paper from the left paper feed tray of the
paper feed tray units 1 and 2, paper feed tray 3 and paper feed tray 4
is transported vertically to the registration roller section.
After the leading edge of the paper is synchronized with the leading
edge of the drum image in the registration roller section, the paper that
is transfer printed with the image in the transfer section passes through
the fusing section and is discharged either face-down or face-up.
