UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
1. Installing (use) conditions
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.
C. Power source
(Capacity, voltage, frequency, safety, plug)
If the power specifications are not satisfied, the machine cannot exhibit
full performances and may cause safety trouble.
Strictly observe the following specifications.
(1) Power capacity
Check that the following power capacity is satisfied. If not, additionally
provide a power source.
Current capacity
Japan: 20A or more
100V: 20A or more
200V: 10A or more
(2) Power voltage
Measure the voltage during copying to check that the voltage is in the
range of the specified voltage ±10%.
If the voltage is outside the specified range, use thicker lead wires to
reduce impedance.
(An electrical work is required.)
Use of a step-up transformer is also available. In this case, the capac-
ity must be great enough for the max. power consumption of the
machine.
(3) Power frequency, waveform
The frequency must be within the range of the specified frequency
±2%. If power waveform is deformed, a trouble may occur.
(4) Safety
Be sure to properly ground the machine.
(5) Power plug
Check the form of the power plug. If the shape does not match, do not
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.

(2) Dust
If dust enters the machine, it may cause dirty copy and a paper jam,
resulting in a shortened lifetime.
(3) Direct rays of the sun
If the machine is installed under the rays of the sun, the exterior of the
machine may be discolored and abnormal copies may be produced.
(4) Gases and chemicals
Do not install the machine at a place where there are gases and chemicals. Especially be careful to avoid installation near a diazo-type
copier, which produces ammonium gas.
Copy quality may be adversely affected and a trouble may be caused.
(5) Vibration
Avoid installation near a machine which produces vibrations.
If vibrations are applied to the copier machine, copy images may be
deflected and a trouble may be caused.
2. Transit and delivery
A. Implements, facility, and manpower
It is recommendable to use a forklift for bringing in the machine for
safety.
If no forklift is available, manpower of four or more persons is required.
The machine is considerably heavy, and requires safety precautions
for delivery and installation.
Transit of the machine must be made in packed condition to the installing place.
B. Delivery
Remove the packing materials prior to installation in the ofice environment.
3. Unpacking
A. Unpacking procedure
1) Remove the PP band.
2) Remove the top case.
3) Remove the internal packing pads and the items packed together
with the machine.
No. Content Method
1 Implements, facility,
and manpower
Use a forklift. (If no forklift is available,
manpower of four or more persons is
required.)

F. Set developer
(1) Supply developer
1) Open the front cabinet.
2) Loosen the blue screw of the process cover, and tilt down the process cover toward you.
3) Loosen the blue screw which is fixing the developing unit.
4) While pressing the developing unit lock lever, pull out the developing unit.
Hold the strap of the developing unit and remove the developing
unit.
5) Remove the four fixing screws of toner hopper in the developing
unit.
6) While supplying developer from the developer supply port of the
developing unit, turn the MG gear clockwise with a plus screwdriver
to supply all developer to the developing unit.
7) Install the toner hopper to the developing unit.
8) Insert the developing unit to the main unit and fix it with the blue
screw.
9) Close the process cover and fix it with the blue screw.
(2) Toner set
1) Remove the toner cartridge from the box, and shake it several
times horizontally.
Note: Be sure to shake the toner cartridge horizontally.
Be careful not rotate as shown in the figure below.

(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.
4) Slowly insert the tray 1 and the tray 2.
(2) Supply paper to the tray 3 and the tray 4
The tray 3 is for 11" x 17" to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"R size (A3 size to A5R) and

Use SIM 22-6 to print and keep the various setting and adjustment
data (list).
When a memory trouble occurs, or when the PCU PWB or the ICU
PWB is replaced, if the above information is not available, all the
adjustment must be performed from the beginning again.
If the above information is available, however, directly enter the setting
and adjustment values for efficient servicing.

works.
1) Remove the paper from the paper tray.
