GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION
AND SERVICE FOR THE COPIER 2460
The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician.
1. Transportation/Installation
• When transporting/installing the copier, employ two persons and be sure to use the positions as
indicated below.
The copier is fairly heavy and weighs approximately 83 kg (183 lb), therefore pay full attention
when handling it.
4 portions
2. Installation
• Be sure to use a dedicated outlet with AC 115V/15A (220V, 240V/10A) or more for its power
source.
• The copier must be grounded for safety.
Never ground it to a gas pipe or a water pipe.
• Select a suitable place for installation.
Avoid excessive heat, high humidity, dust, vibration and direct sunlight.
• Also provide proper ventilation as the copier emits a slight amount of ozone.
• To insure adequate working space for the copying operation, keep a minimum clearance of 80 cm
(32”) on the left, 80 cm (32”) on the right and 10 cm (4”) in the rear.
• Secure the lifting handles with the fixing plates and screws after the installation is finished.
3. Service of Machines
• Basically, be sure to turn the main switch off and unplug the power cord during service.
• Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, the fuser unit, the
damp heater and their periphery.
• Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers and the high-voltage transformer.
• Be sure not to touch rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts, pulleys, etc.
• When servicing the machines with the main switch turned on, be sure not to touch live sections
and rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposure to laser radiation.
• Use suitable measuring instruments and tools.
4. Main Service Parts for Safety
• The breaker, door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, etc. are particularly important
for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly.
5. Cautionary Labels
• During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and the cautionary labels such as “Unplug the
power cord during service”, “Hot area”, “Laser warning label” etc. to see if there is any dirt on their
surface or whether they are properly stuck to the copier.
6. Disposition of Consumable Parts/Packing Materials
• Regarding the recovery and disposal of the copier, supplies, consumable parts and packing materials, it is recommended to follow the relevant local regulations or rules.
7. When parts are disassembled, reassembly is basically the reverse of disassembly unless
otherwise noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to reassemble
small parts such as screws, washers, pins, E-rings, toothed washers in the wrong places.
8. Basically, the machine should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
9. Precautions Against Static Electricity
• The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband,
because the ICs on it may become damaged due to static electricity.
Caution: Be sure to turn off the copier before attaching the wrist-band.
Always remove the wrist-band before applying power.

1.2.6 How to register/change ID codes (Access control mode)
When ID codes are registered, copies made will be classified according to each ID code. The copier
will not start unless one of the ID codes registered is keyed in.
When the developer material is replaced, the auto-toner sensor needs to be adjusted, and the developer material counter (setting mode “08”, code “404”) needs to be cleared to zero.
Note: Make sure that the drum blade is pressed to the drum before the auto-toner adjustment.
<Procedure> (Use code “200” in the “05” mode.)
(1)Install the process unit to the copier (main blade contacts with drum).
(2)Press the keys “0” and “5” at the same time and turn on the power switch.
The following display appears indicating that the adjustment mode has been entered.

Notes: 1. When frequent paper jams occur near the aligning roller caused by using special thin paper other than
that specified, the aligning value can be changed (reduced) as a measure. However, when the aligning
value is reduced excessively, this may possibly cause the registration to be shifted. Therefore, make sure
that no registration shifting occurs while adjusting the value.
2. Long size adjustment is used as the base when there are both long and short adjustments.
When the tone reproduction deviation is too large, it can be corrected by the automatic gamma
adjustment.
This adjustment shall be done upon user’s request when the tone reproduction is too high or too
low.
(2) When any of the following parts is replaced, this adjustment is required.
• Halogen lamp• Original glass with shading board
• Lens unit• Laser optical system unit
(3) When any of the following parts is replaced or adjusted, check the copy image and determine the
necessity of this adjustment.
• Optical system position (CRG1, CRG2 position)• Mirror 1, 2, 3
• Reflector• Drum• Developer
• Main charger• Development bias• Transfer charger
• Separation• Pre-cleaning discharge charger
Note) This adjustment must be done only after the image adjustment described in 1.5.

[Procedure]
(1) Turn on the power switch with “05”.
(2) Select A3 or LD paper for the output paper size.
(3) Press the “2” key and then “FAX” key.
(One copy of the 33-gradation pattern is outputted.)
(4) Confirm that there is no blank or line on the gradation pattern outputted in
the above step (3) and the density changes gradually.
If there is any problem in the gradation pattern, repeat the step (3) to output
a gradation pattern again.
(5) Face the dense side of the output gradation pattern to the original scale at
the exit side and put it on the original glass with the printed face down.
(6) Input the code “580” through the control panel and press the START key.
(The scanner automatically reads the original and the operation for the
automatic gamma adjustment will be done. About 10 seconds)
(7) When the operation completes normally, the machine returns to the stand-
by status. If the operation terminates abnormally, “TEST MODE ERROR”
will be displayed. (See the indication on the next page.)
For the abnormal termination, press the C/S key to release the error
indication. When released, the display on the control panel returns to the
stand-by status. Check the position, direction and skew of the gradation
pattern on the original glass, and repeat the steps from (5).

the case and the terminal)
Connect to the white cable of the current measuring Jig (frame grounding).
1. When the drum has been replaced with a new one, “0” (zero) must be input to clear the drum life
counter (“08” mode, code 401).
Also when the developer material is replaced with a new one, clear the developer material counter
to zero (“08” mode, code “404”).
2. When adjusting the high-voltage outputs, a current measuring jig and a shaft jig are required (except the developer bias measurement).
3. When the connector of the shaft jig and the connector of the developer unit on the machine are not
connected, high-voltage adjustment codes are not accepted, except the developer bias adjustment.
When the developer bias is to be measured, nothing should be connected to the connector of the
developer unit on the machine.
4. The measurement value of the developer bias varies according to the input resistance of the digital
tester. For shipping, adjustment is made using a 100 MΩ input resistance tester.
Connect the digital testers as instructed in (1) and follow the procedure below to adjust the main charger,
developer bias, transfer, separation, and pre-cleaning discharger outputs.
Caution during Adjustment
If fogging appears over the entire surface even though the grid voltage and toner density are appropriate, adjust the developer bias on the control panel. The following defects may occur if the developer
bias is lowered too much:
• Image contrast becomes low.
• Image is patchy or blurred.
• Developer carrier adheres to the photosensitive body, making it easier for scratches to occur or the
surface of photosensitive body by the cleaner blade.
(2)Transfer
Items to Check before Adjustment
Pockmarks or defective transfer also occur in defects besides transfer output adjustment defects. If
this happens, check the following items. If an error is not found after carrying out the following checks,
adjust the output.
• Is the charger wire out of position or dirty? Is the transfer guide deformed?
• Is the developer unit connected? Are the developer magnetic brushes contacting with the drum?
Is the developer unit rotating during copying? Is the toner density low?
• Is the copy paper bending as it is being fed in? Is the copy paper abnormally moist?
• Is the aligning roller rotating normally?
• Is the transfer guide bias outputing?
• Is the separation output deviating from the set value?
• Is the developer bias an appropriate value?
• Is the transfer/separation charger case earthed? Is the photosensitive drum (shaft) earthed? Is the
transfer/separation transformer earthed?
• Is the transfer charge limit plate (transparent film) damaged or deformed?
Caution during Adjustment
1When pockmarks occur:
• If pockmarks are occurring in halftone areas, lower the transfer output value. However , note that if
the transfer output value is lowered too far, the transfer performance also will be reduced.
2When defective transfer occurs:
Increase the transfer output value under the following conditions. However, note that if the transfer
output value is raised too far, pockmarks will occur.
• If defective transfer occurs even though the charger wire is not dirty, and
• If thick paper is frequency used.
• The adjustment code varies according to where pockmarks occur . Select the required adjustment
code while referring to the following diagram.
Items to Check before Adjustment
Defective separation from the drum also occurs in other than separation output adjustment defects. If
this happens, check the following items. If an error is not found after carrying out the following checks,
adjust the output.
• Is the charger wire out of position or dirty?
• Is the developer unit connected? Are the developer magnetic brushes contacting with the drum?
Is the developer unit rotating during copying? Is the toner density low?
• Is the copy paper bending as it is being fed in? Is the copy paper abnormally moist?
• Is the alignment roller rotating normally?
• Is the main charger outputting?
• Is the transfer output deviating from the set value?
• Is the transfer/separation charger case earthed? Is the transfer/separation transformer earthed?
Caution during Adjustment
1When defective separation occurs:
Increase the separation output value under the following conditions. However, note that if the separation output value is raised too far, pockmarks will occur, and separation performance will be reduced. (Adjustment code = 230)
• If defective separation occurs even though the charger wire is not dirty, and
• If thin paper is frequency used.
2When defective transfer occurs:
• Lower the separation output value when defective transfer occurs. However, note that if the separation output value is lowered too far, the separation performance also will be reduced.
• The adjustment code varies according to where the defective transfer occurrs. Select the required
adjustment code while referring to the following diagram.
Notes 1. Wind the wire round the pulley taking the fol-
lowing precautions
• Never twist the wire when winding.
• Wind the wire tightly to make it come into
close contact with the pulley.
• Wind the wire taking care not to leave any
gap between the wraps.
2. When the wire holder jig is installed, do not
slide or loosen the wound wire.
3. The wire holder jigs are the same for the front
and rear sides.
Be careful when installing the jig.
The jigs will not installed if its installation direction is wrong, it is floating on the pulley.
This model uses a hit-drum method using the guide roller, and no adjustment is necessary.

1.14Adjustment of Developer Polarity Position
(1)Remove the developer unit from the machine.
(2)Adjust at the rear adjustment plate. Loosen
the fixing screw of the adjustment plate and
move the plate according to the stamped mark
on the plate as a guide line to make adjustment.
As this is already adjusted with a special jig
at the time of shipping from the factory, do
not loosen the screw unnecessarily.
When loosening the screw for disassembly,
etc., remember the position of the adjustment
plate and reinstall it where it was.
(During the replacement of the magnetic roller,
adjust the developer the developer polarity position.)
In duplex copying using the ADU, the difference in side deviation on both sides of the copy should be
within ±3 mm. If not, make adjustment as follows:
After stacking sheets of paper on the stack guide, check that the gap between the side stopper and the
edge of the sheet is 1.5 ± 1 mm. To adjust the gap, loosen the side switch bracket fixing screw. Move the
bracket according to the scale. After moving the bracket, initialize the ADU. Check the gap between the
side guide and the paper.
To adjust the side deviation of the image of duplexed copies (i.e. the image on the second side):
(1)When the 5 fixing screws at the front cover of the ADU are loosened, the ADU can be adjusted in the
front/rear direction by a maximum of 3 mm.
(2)If the center of the image is shifted toward the rear side, move the ADU front cover to the rear side
the same distance (as the image is shifted) and tighten the screw.
(3)If the center of the image is shifted toward the front side, move the ADU front cover to the front side
the same distance (as the image is shifted) and tighten the screw.

1.17Adjusting Cassette Side Deviation
The procedure for adjusting cassette side deviation for the copier and the PFP is the same as in 1.16.2.
1 Ask the key operator about the present machine conditions and note them down.
2 Before starting the maintenance work, make and retain a few sample copies for later compari-
son.
3 Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord plug.
(2)The periodic inspection should be conducted in accordance with the Periodic Inspection Check List
shown below. Perform the inspection by referring to the figures, as well as to the explanations in the
Service Manual when necessary.
(3)After the inspection has been completed, plug in the machine and turn the power switch on, and
confirm the general operation of the machine by making a few copies and comparing them to those
made previously.
2.2Inspection and Overhaul every 240,000 Copies
(1)Replace all the consumables.
(2)Check to see if there is any damage to the parts of driving section (gear, pulley, timing belt, etc.).
Replace parts on principle if damaged.
(3)Check to see if there is any damage or peeling of adhered parts (tape, Mylar sheet, etc.). Replace
any affected parts.
(4)Check to see if all the switches and sensors operate properly. Replace them if they are not operat-
ing properly.
(5)Clean the inside of the machine thoroughly.

*1Main blade
Clean the main blade with a cloth which should be soaked in water and then squeezed tightly. If
poor cleaning occurs due to the adhesion of paper dust, etc., the edge of the blade has been
damaged.
Replace the blade regardless of the number of copies made so far.
*2Recovery blade
If the edge of the blade is damaged, replace the blade regardless of the number of copies made so
far.
*3Separation claw
If the tip of the separation claw has been damaged, replace the claw regardless of the number of
copies made so far.
Clean the tip of the claw by lightly wiping with a dry cloth. After cleaning, make sure to remove bits
of lint from the claw. In addition, be sure to apply patting powder (lubricant) to the separation claw
after cleaning the claw and when replacing the claw or drum.
*4Drum
Refer to section “3.2 Inspection and Cleaning OPC Drum”.
*5Clean the white shading board and the original glass at the same time.
If the shading board is stained, a white band may occurr on the copy movement direction. Do not
touch the surface of the shading board with your bare hand after cleaning.
*6Air filter
If the air filter is dirty, replace it.
*7Charger wire and case
Clean the inner surface of the charger case and the charger wire with a cloth which should be
soaked in water and then squeezed tightly.

Toner and developer should be stored in a place where the ambient temperature is below 35˚C
(95˚F) and should also be protected against direct sunlight during transportation.
B.OPC Drum
Similarly to the toner and developer, selenium drums should be stored in a dark place where the
ambient temperature is below 35˚C. Be sure to avoid those places where drums may be subjected
to high humidity , chemicals and/or their fumes.
C.Cleaning Blade and Heat-Roller Blade
These items should be stored in a flat place where the ambient temperature is below 35˚C and
should also be protected against high humidity, chemicals and/or their fumes.
D.Heat Roller and Pressure Roller
Avoid those places where heat rollers may be subjected to high humidity, chemicals and/or their
fumes.
E.Copy Paper
Avoid storing copy paper in a place where the humidity is high.
After a package is opened, be sure to place and store it in a storage bag. During wet or winter
seasons where the temperature varies much from high to low due to room heating, etc. or where the
humidity is high, pull out the cassette from the machine, and put it together with the paper inside in
a storage bag upon the completion of copying for the day . Also, instruct the users to do the same.
3.2Inspection and Cleaning OPC Drum
A.Precautions for Handling
(1)Use of gloves
If fingerprints or oils adhere to the drum surface, characteristics of the photoconductor may
degrade, affecting the quality of the copy image; therefore, do not touch the drum surface with
your bare hands.
(2)Removing and reinstalling drums
Since the OPC drum surface is very sensitive, be sure to handle the drum carefully when installing and removing it so as not damage its surface.
Be sure to apply “patting powder” (lubricant) to the entire surface of the drum and separation
claw before installing the drum into the machine.
When the drum has been replaced with a new one, 0 (zero) must be input to clear the drum life
counter (Setting mode “08”, code “401”).
Notes: 1. Application of the patting powder is to reduce the friction between the drum, cleaning blade,
and separation claw. If the application of patting powder is neglected, the drum and cleaning
blade may be damaged.
2. When paper fibers adhere to the cleaning blade edge, they may reduce the cleaning
efficiency and, in addition, may damage the blade and the drum. So, if any fibers are
found adhering to the blade, be sure to remove them carefully using a soft pad.
(3)Installation of Machine and Storage of Drum
Avoid installing the machine in such places where it may be subjected to high temperature, high
humidity, chemicals and their fumes.
Do not leave drums in a bright place for a long time, otherwise the drum will fatigue and will not
produce sufficient image density immediately after being installed in the machine.
However, this effect may decrease as time elapses.
(4)Cleaning the Drum
At periodic maintenance calls, wipe clean the entire surface of the drum using the designated
cleaning cotton. Use a sufficient thickness of cleaning cotton so as not to scratch the drum
surface inadvertently with your fingertips or nails. Also, remove your ring and wristwatch before
starting cleaning work to prevent accidental damage to the drum.
Be sure not to use alcohol, selenium refresher and other organic solvents or silicone oil as they
will have an undesirable effect on the drum.
(5)Scratches on OPC Drum Surface
If a scratch exists on the surface through which the aluminum substrate can be seen, no copy
image will be produced on this area and, in addition, the cleaning blade will be damaged so
replacement with a new drum will be necessary.
(6)Collecting Used OPC Drums
Regarding the recovery and disposal of used OPC drums, it is recommended to follow the relevent
local regulations or rules.
3.3Checking Drum Cleaning Blade
(1)Precautions for Handling
Pay attention to the following points as the cleaning blade life is determined by its edge condition:
1 Do not allow a hard object to hit on or rub against the blade edge. Do not rub the edge with a
cloth.
2 Do not leave oil (or fingerprints, etc.) on the edge.
3 Do not put solvents such as thinner, etc. on the edge.
4 Do not deposit dirt such as paper fibers, etc, on the blade.
5 Do not place the blade near a heat source.
Never allow solvents such as thinner, etc, to adhere to the cleaning felt roller.
(2)Poor Heat-Roller Cleaning and Countermeasures
Poor heat-roller cleaning should be judged by the deposited toner on the roller. When the felt roller
has heavy toner deposits, the heat-roller surface may be stained with toner. If this happens, replace
the cleaning felt roller.
The cleaning felt roller will be gradually degraded due to subjection to the heat from the heat roller
over a long period of time; therefore, replace it preferably after about 80,000 copies have been made.
3.5Checking and Cleaning Upper and Lower Heat Rollers
(1)Precautions for Handling
A Upper Heat Roller
1 Do not leave oil (fingerprints, etc.) on the heat roller.
2 Be extremely careful not to allow a hard object to hit on or rub against the roller because the
thin Teflon layer coated on the aluminum substrate is easily damaged and, if damaged, will
result in poor drum cleaning.
B Lower Pressure Roller
1 Do not leave oil (fingerprints, etc.) on the roller surface.
(2)Checking
1 Check for staining and damage to the heat roller and clean or replace if necessary.
2 Clean the separation claws and check for chipped claws.
3 Check for cleaning condition of cleaning felt roller.
4 Check the thermistor for proper contact with the heat roller.
5 Check the fused condition of the toner image.
6 Check the heat rollers for proper rotation.
(3)Cleaning Procedure for Heat Rollers
When the heat roller becomes dirty , it will cause paper jamming. In that case, wipe the roller surface
clean with cotton soaked in alcohol or heat-roller cleaner “RC60” which contains silicone oil. For a
better cleaning effect, clean the roller while it is still warm.
Notes: 1. Be careful not to rub against the Teflon-coated surface with fingernails or hard objects because it
is easily damaged. Do not use silicone oil on the upper heat roller.
2. When the heat roller has been replaced, 0 (zero) must be input to clear the power-on time counter
(mode “08”, code “402”) and the fuser running counter (mode “08”, code “403”).
