all manual updates or addenda when using this product’s documentation.

Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turn off or “go
to sleep” after a period of inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut off. This auto-
feature can reduce a copier’s annual electricity costs by over 60 percent. In addition,
high speed copiers will be set to automatically make double-sided copies. An
organization’s papercosts can bereducedby$60amonth andthevolume ofpapersent
into the waste stream will decline. It takes 10 times more energy to produce a pieceof
paper than it does to make a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper also
means decreased national energy consumption.

What is an Energy Star Copier?
As an ENERGY STAR®Partner, Hitachi Koki Imaging
Solutions, Inc. has determined that this copier meets the
ENERGY STAR®Guidelines for energy efficiency.

Using the Copier Properly
To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below.
• Never place a heavy object on the copier.
• Never subject the copier to shocks.
• Never open any doors or turn the copier off while the copier is making copies.
• Never bring any magnetized object near the copier.
• Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the copier.
• Never modify the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
• Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The copier contains high voltage
components which can cause electrical shock.
• Never tamper with the laser mechanism in laser-equipped models, as blindness or
other injury may result.
• Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal through the vents or
other openings in the copier, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
• Never place containers of liquid on the copier. If liquids get inside the copier, they can
cause fire or electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the copier,
immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord and call your technical
representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the copier remains plugged in or
is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.
• Never leave the copier running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smoke or an unusual
odor or noise is detected. Should any of these conditions occur, immediately turn the
copier off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or
electrical shock can result if the copier remains plugged in under any of these
conditions.
• Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
• Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.
• Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies.
• Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when unplugging the power
cord. A damaged cord could result in a fire or cause an electrical shock.
• Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord before moving the copier. Moving the copier with the
power cord plugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an electrical
shock.
• Always unplug the power cord when the copier is not going to be used for a long time.
• Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a fire or electrical
shock can result.
• Always ensure that the copier does not sit on or roll onto the power cord or
communications cable of other electrical equipment, as malfunctioning equipment or
a fire could result.
• Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other electrical
equipment does not become wedged into the copier mechanism, as malfunctioning
equipment or a fire could result.
• Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can cause a fire or
electrical shock.

Using the Copier Properly
• Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
• Should the power cord become damaged, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the
power cord and call your technical representative. A damaged cord can result in a fire
or cause an electric shock.
• If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacity than the
maximum power requirements of the copier. The use of an extension cord that falls
short of supporting the maximum power requirements can result in overheating or a
fire.
• Always unplug the copier whenever anything unusual is observed during operation.
Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of the copier and furniture.
=Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room=
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this copier. An
unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive
copier operations. For a comfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it is
recommended that the room be well ventilated.
=Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée=
Une quantité d’ozone négligeble est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du copieur
quand celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être
ressentie dans les pièces dont l’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation
prolongée du copieur est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un
environnement réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est
préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur.
