This machine makes effective use of memory in order to perform print operations
efficiently. For example, as soon as the machine has scanned the original that you
want to copy, it can immediately scan the next person's original. You can also print
from this machine, using a function other than the Copy function. In this machine,
these operations take place in a complex way, so that not only copies, but also
various kinds of prints may sometimes have to wait their turn before they can be
output.
To avoid confusion when reading this manual, the terms "scanning", "printing", and
"copying" used throughout this manual are defined as set out below. There are
some cases in which the scanning of an original when making a copy, and the
process of making a print, are described separately.
Operations and Terms Used in This Manual
Scanning an original to be copied,
or scanning an original to be
stored as data in a mailbox.
Scanning
Printing
Outputting a copy, or outputting data sent
from a personal computer to the machine.

xi
Copying
Scanning of an original,
printing through finishing.

WARNING
Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the
power cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical damage
and result in a fire or electrical shock.
Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the power
cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in
electrical shock.
Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
Insert the power plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result
in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a
fire or electrical shock.
As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in
a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated
for voltages of 120 V AC and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug
completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the
power cord and the extension cord.
CAUTION
Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as this
may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Always grasp the power plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling on the
power cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.
Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If
objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an
emergency.

Handling
WARNING
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine.There are high-temperature
and high-voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat, or strange smells,
immediately turn OFF the main power switch, and disconnect the power cord from
the power outlet.Then, contact your service representative. Continued use of the
machine in this condition may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from these sprays
comes into contact with the electrical components inside the machine, it may result
in a fire or electrical shock.
To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn OFF the
main power switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine.
Otherwise, the power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.
Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do
not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner,
etc.) inside the machine. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are
dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn OFF the main power switch,
and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact your service
representative.
CAUTION
Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
Close the feeder/platen glass cover gently to avoid catching your hands, as this may
result in personal injury.
Do not press down hard on the feeder/platen glass cover when using the platen glass
to make copies of thick books, etc. Doing so may damage the platen glass and result
in personal injury.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, then disconnect
the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around
the base of the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to
ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long
period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the
power plug and become damp.This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with
water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances.
Check detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into
contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as
this may result in burns or electrical shock.
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
