(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 wide 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
sufficiently. 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: 15A 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
capacity 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.
Grounding (earth connection) must be performed before inserting
the power plug into the power outlet.
When disconnecting the earth connection, be sure to disconnect
the power plug from the power outlet in advance.
(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.
If the unit is not horizontally installed, the toner density control is not
performed normally, degrading the copy quality.
If not, color shift or image distortion may occur.
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 heater, a cooler, or a humidifier.
Dew may be formed inside the machine to cause a trouble. Use
enough care for ventilation.

3) Cut the inside section of the rear cabinet where the harness
passes through.
J. High temperature caution label attachment
1) Pull out the paper tray 1, and clean the caution label attachment section with alcohol.
2) Attach the caution label (which is packed together with the
dehumidifier heater kit for the main unit) to the paper tray.
K. Attach the rear cabinet.
3. Check after installation
1) Turn ON the dehumidifier heater switch. (Press the upper section of the switch.)
2) Measure the resistance between the earth terminal and the AC
terminal at the lead edge of the AC cord with a tester, and
check to confirm that the resistance is infinite.
* Check the resistance between the non-grounding side (Live)
and the grounding side and between the non-grounding side
(Neutral) and the grounding side.
* If there is conduction between the grounding terminal and
the AC terminal, the harness on the primary side may be in
contact with the grounding wire (the wire may be pinched or
in some trouble). In this case, disassemble it again and
check to confirm that there is no pinching or wiring mistake.

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.
LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The alphabet following the LFmarkshows 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 recommended.
(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.
