[4] UNP ACKING AND INSTALLATION
1. Unpacking
2 Avoid high temperature and high humidity, and avoid sudden
temperature change. (Avoid installation near a cooler or a heater.)
If not, paper absorbs moisture and dew forms in the machine,
causing paper jam or degraded image quality.
(Standard condition):The best condition to use the machine.
The surrounding conditions of the machine affect the machine performance gr eatly. U se great care for the following items:
(1) Environm en t
1 Avoid direct sunlight, and avoid installation near the window.
(Curtains or blinds must be shut completely.)
If not, the plastic parts and the original cover may be deformed.
Even if the window is of frosted glass, there is no difference.
20
1530 35
3 Avoid dusts and vibrations.
If dusts enter the machine, malfunctions may occur.
4 Avoid installation to an unstable place.
Keep the machine in horizontal state to maintain the performances.
˚C
4 – 1
5 Avoid installation to a poorly ventilated place.
6 Avoid installation to a place where there are flammable materials
or ammonia gas, etc. If the machine is installed near a diazo
copier, the picture quality may be degraded and malfunctions may
occur.
(5) Grounding wire connection
1 Connect the grounding wire to prevent against a danger.
2 When connecting the grounding wire, connect only to the ground-
ing object (the grounding terminal of the power outlet, etc.) and
never connect to a gas pipe.
Grounding
terminal
7 Install near a power outlet.
(2) Space around the machine
Install the machine with its rear side about 10cm apart from the wall in
order to allow space for ventilation by the cooling fan.
Also allow eno ug h space around th e ma ch ine for proper operation.
(3) Installation base
Set the machine in horizontal position in the following procedure.
Be sure to use a le veling instrumen t (UKOGM0054CSZZ) to install
the machine on a flat, horizontal place.
[Note] If the machine is not in horizontal position, the toner density
control function may not work normally, resulting in degraded
picture quality.
(4) Power sou rc e
1 Use the power source of the rated capacity.
2 Avoid complicated wiring. If not, the breaker or the fuse may be
blown off to cause a fire.

In the case of SF-2118:
The SF-2118 is provid ed with the thr ee-way pa per fe ed syst em. Th e
tray is of the universal t y pe an d has cap ac it y o f 2 50 sheets. Th e front
loading system allows the tray to be loaded from the lower side of the
front cabinet.
(The SF-2116 ha s the two-way pape r feed system with one 250-sheet
tray and ma nual feed.)
Manual pa per feed is in the sin gle mode. The mu lti paper feed un it
(SF-MF15) is an option.
The tray has the capacity of 500 sheets (250 sheets for the SF-2116).
In addi tion to that, th e option al paper feed uni t allows loading o f 500
sheets more.
2) Basic operati ons
(Tray paper feed operat ion)
When the CPFC (Cassette paper feed clutch) turn on, the paper feed
roller shaft, t he paper fe ed roller, and the ta ke-up roller rotat e in the
direction of A. At the same time, the limiter spring moves down the
roller release arm. As a result, the take-up roller falls by its own
weight onto the paper su rface, starting paper feed .

When the CPFC turns off, rotation stops and the take-up roller is

(Single manual paper feed operation)
There is no special mechanism for manual paper feed other than the
manual feed paper sensing actuator and the paper guide.
(Multi manual paper feed operation)
When the MPFS (multi paper feed solenoid) turns on, the spring
clutch rotates to pr ess the take- up roller on t he paper, feeding the
paper.

2. Developing secti on
1) General descriptions
(1) Two-component developer
The developer is composed of toner and carrier.
Carrier serves as a me dium for attachi ng ton er onto the ele ctrostat ic
image on the photoconductor drum.
By stirring toner and carrier, they are rubbed to be charged positive
(+) and negative (–) respectively.
Since deve loper will deter iorate to degra de copy quality, it shou ld be
replaced regularly.
(2) Two-component magnetic brush development
The rotatable non-magnetic sleeve is provided over the magnet roller
and is rotated.
Carrier forms a magnetic b rush on the sleev e surface by magn etic
force to attach toner onto the electrostatic image on the photoconductor drum.
(3) Developing bias
When the photoconductor is charged and exposed to light (exposure ), th e surfac e poten tia l (volt ag e) of the p ho tocon duct or w ill no t
be lost completely. (The residual potential remains.)
Toner is attracted to the photoconductor by this residual potential,
dirty ing the phot oconductor. As a r esult, a dirt y copy of whi te background is generated.
To prevent ag ainst this, a voltage of the same polarity and higher than
the residual potential is applied to the MG roller, preventing toner from
being attached to the photocondu ctor surface .

3) Basic operations
(Cassette paper feed)
When t he CPFC (cassette paper feed clutch) is turned on, the paper
feed roller shaft, the paper feed roller, and the take-up roller rotates in
the dire ction of A, an d the r oller re lease arm is moved downwa rd by
the limiter spring. As a result, the take-up roller falls by its weight to
reach the paper surface, feeding the paper. When the CPFC is turned
off, the take-up roller is pushed up to the position by the roller release
arm spring.

1. General description
• The optical section of this model is composed of the fixed focus
lens and six mirrors. Since the fixed focus lens is used, No. 4/5
mirror base is shifted according to the shift of the lens to change
the distance between the original and the drum (OID, Original
Image Distance) in reduction or enlargement copy.
The lens and No. 4/5 mirror unit are shifted by driving the stepping
motor with the signals from the main control PWB, allowing zooming of 151 steps in 1% increment in the range of 0.50 to 2.00.

• Exposure is adjusted by changing the copy lamp voltage. The AE
sensor is provided in the zoom base to sense the density of the
original.
The copy lamp light is reflected by the original to the AE sensor,
which senses the density of the original and adjust the copy lamp
light quantity according to the density.
• The exposure system is the slit exposure system by moving light
source.
