CAUTION

This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040 of the CDRH standard and IEC825. This means that this machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of spot damage to the retina.

The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time of servicing.

1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as a unit, not as individual parts.

2) Do not look into the machine with the main switch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner cartridge, and drum cartridge.

3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected when removing and installing the optical system.

4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.

Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.

LASER WAVE – LENGTH : 770 ~ 795nm Pulse times : 12.88µs ± 12.88ns/7mm Out put power : MAX 0.2m

CAUTION

INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION,

WHEN OPEN AND INTERLOCKS DEFEATED.

At the production line, the output power of the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.18 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 MICRO-SEC. Giving and accessible emission level of 42 MICRO-WATT which is still-less than the limit of CLASS-1 laser product.

Caution

This product contains a low power laser device. To ensure continued safety do not remove any cover or attempt to gain access to the inside of the product. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.

The foregoing is applicable only to the 220V model, 230V model and 240V model.

[5] UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

1. Copier installation

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

• poorly ventilated

2. Cautions on handling

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

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight. Doing so will damage the surface (green portion) of the drum car-

tridge, causing poor print quality.

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

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements.

Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servic-

ing and proper ventilation.

8" (20cm)

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, poor print quality may result. Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge. Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing poor

print quality.

3. Checking packed components and accessories

Open the carton and check if the following components and accessories are included.

9. Software

The CD-ROM that accompanies the machine contains the following software:

Printer driver (AL-2030)

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.

The printer driver includes the Print Status Window. This is a utility that monitors the machine and informs you of the printing status, the name of the document currently being printed, and error messages.

Please note that the printing over a network connection is not possible.

MFP driver (AL-2040CS/2050CS)

Printer driver

The printer driver enables you to use the printer function of the machine.

Please note that the Print Status Window does not operate when the machine is used as a network printer.

Scanner driver*
