Before installing the machine, check that the following installing (use)
conditions are satisfied.
If the installing (use) conditions are not satisfied, the machine may not
display full performances, resulting in troubles. It may also cause
safety problems. Therefore, be sure to arrange the installing (use) conditions before setting up the machine.
A. Bringing space
For installation of a large size machine, be sure to check that the door
size is great enough before bringing in.
B. Installing space
The following space must be provided around the machine in order to
assure machine performances and proper operations.
If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing it.
Especially the space at the rear of the machine must be provided suffi-
ciently. If not, the machine cannot exhibit functions against heat and
dust, causing some troubles.

use it.
D. Floor strength and level
This machine is considerably heavy and becomes heavier with an
option installed.
The floor must be strong enough for assuring safety, and the machine
must be installed horizontally.
If not, toner concentration control is not properly performed, resulting in
degraded copy quality and distorted images.
E. Direct rays of the sun, dust, temperature,
humidity, gasses, chemicals, vibration
(1) Temperature and humidity
This machine is designed to perform properly under the specified temperature and humidity. If the temperature and humidity exceeds the
specified range, the machine may not operate properly and or cause
equipment failure.
Especially when the humidity is too high, paper absorbs humidity to
cause a paper jam or dirty copy.
(Do not install the machine near a stove, a humidifier, or an air conditioner.)
Do not install the machine near a heater, a cooler, or a humidifier.
Dew may be formed inside the machine to cause a trouble. Use
enough care for ventilation.

(3) Set the toner density reference control level
Insert the power plug into the power outlet, and turn on the power
switch of the main unit.
1) With the front cabinet open, enter the SIM 25-2 mode.
2) Close the front cabinet.
3) Press START key to execute the simulation. Toner is stirred for 3
minutes, and sampling of the toner density control sensor value is
repeated 16 times. The average level of the sensor detection level
is set (stored) as the reference toner density control value.
Note: The 70-sheet machine (AR-M700N/U) performs resetting after
2
normal completion of toner concentration control level setting
operation (3 min) by SIM25-2, and supplies toner during warming up when the fuser heater lamp is turned ON in order to
increase the toner concentration level by 0.5%.
When there is some toner in the intermediate hopper, the above
toner supply operation is completed in about 90 sec.
Since the warming-up time of fusing is within 2 min, the machine
goes to the print ready state in 1 min 30 sec or 2 min.
When, however, there is no toner in the intermediate hopper (on
installation, etc.), toner is supplied from the toner bottle to the
developing unit and it takes more time than the above to reach
the specified toner concentration level, that is, it takes about 200
sec for the machine to go to the print ready state.
Toner supply operation to increase the toner concentration level
by 0.5% after completion of SIM25-2 is performed only in the 70sheet machine, and not performed in the 55/62-sheet machines.

LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The PWB’s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder.
The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.
(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD
When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use
soldering iron is recommendable.
(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK
Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is
inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed
the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after
completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
