FO-3800M

At the production line, the output power of the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.33 MILLI-WATT PLUS 20 PCTS and is maintained constant by the operation of the Automatic Power Control (APC). Even if the APC circuit fails in operation for some reason, the maximum output power will only be 15 MILLI-WATT 0.1 MICROSEC. giving an acceptable emission level of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.

Caution

The fusing unit is hot. Exercise care when inspecting it. Do not switch the printer rapidly on and off. After turning the printer off,

wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.

Printer power must be turned off before installing any supplies.

1. Installing conditions

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

CAUTION: If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place,

condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

• damp, humid, or very dusty

• exposed to direct sunlight

CAUTIONS ON HANDLING

Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.

Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.

Doing so will damage the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge, causing smudges on copies.

Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges in a dark place without removing from the package before use.

If they are exposed to direct sunlight, smudges on copies may result.

Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.

Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing smudges on copies.

• poorly ventilated

• subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an

air conditioner or heater.

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

CAUTION: If the black protective sheet is pulled forcibly, it may be

broken, Be careful not to break the sheet and slowly remove it.

7) Install the developer cartridge.

8) Turn on the power switch. While pressing the copy mode select key and the clear key, open and close the operation panel section. (The photoconductor counter is reset by the above operation.)

2) Slowly remove the developer cartridge from the copier.

3) Hold two knobs of the photoconductor cartridge with your fingers, and slowly pull out it.

WARNING: The fusing section is heated to a high temperature.

When removing the photoconductor cartridge, be careful not to touch the fusing section to avoid a burn.

CAUTION: Dispose the photoconductor cartridge as an incombus -

tible.

4) Remove a new photoconductor cartridge from the bag.

CAUTION: • A black protective sheet is attached to a new

photoconductor cartridge in order to protect the cartridge from light. Install the cartridge in the copier with this black sheet attached to it. If it is removed, the cartridge surface (green section) may be damaged.

• Keep the photoconductor cartridge in a clean place. If

it is stored in a dusty place, the cartridge surface (green section) may be damaged to cause a dirt on print paper.

5) Hold the two knobs of the photoconductor cartridge with your fingers, and slowly insert the projections on the both ends of the cartridge into the machine along the guides in the arrow direction.
