INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
•l Environment
&
CAUTION
l Avoid placing the copier on or in locations which are
unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the
copier to fall down or fall over. This type of situation
presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the
copier.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
l
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or
dirt become attached to the power plug, clean the plug
to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock.
. . . . . . . . . . . .
8
. Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat
sources, or locations near flammable items, to avoid
the danger of
fire. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
8
l To keep the copier cool and facilitate changing of
parts and maintenance, allow access space as shown
below.
Leave adequate space, especially around the left
cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated out of
the copier.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
8
l
Always use the caster stoppers to stabilize the copier
once it is in place to keep it from moving and/or falling
over and causing
injury. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Other precautions
l
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the copier. Install in an
air-conditioned room (recommended room temperature:
around 2O”C, humidity: around 65%RH) and avoid the
following locations when selecting a site for the copier.
. Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to
direct sunlight.
. Avoid locations with vibrations.
_
Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
. Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
. Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

n
Power supply/Grounding the copier
&i
WARNING
l
DO NOT use a power supply with a voltage other than
that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same
outlet. These types of situations present a danger of
fire or electrical shock. . . .
............................................
l
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic
objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it
may cause a fire or electric shock.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
8
l Always connect the copier to an outlet with a ground
connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock
in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is
not possible, contact your service representative. . . . . .
Q
Other precautions
l
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to
the copier.
q
Handling of plastic bags
n
WARNING
l
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the copier away
from children. The plastic may cling to their nose and
mouth causing
suffocation. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cautions when using the copier
kh
WARNING
l
DO NOT place metallic objects or containers with water
(flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the
copier. This type of situation presents a danger of fire
or electrical shock should they fall inside. _..._..............
. DO NOT remove any of the covers from the copier as
there is a danger of electrical shock from high voltage
parts inside the copier.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
l
DO NOT damage, break or attempt to repair the power
cord. DO NOT place heavy objects on the cord, pull it,
bend it unnecessarily or cause any other type of dam-
age.
These types of situations present a danger of fire or
electrical shock. . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
*
NEVER attempt to repair or disassemble the copier or
its parts as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or
damage to the laser. If the laser beam escapes, there
is
a danger of
it
causing
blindness. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
l
If the copier becomes excessively hot, smoke appears
from the copier, there is an odd smell, or any other
abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock. Turn the main switch OFF (0)
immediately, remove the power plug from the outlet and
contact your service representative.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
l
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.)
falls into the copier, turn the main switch OFF (0)
immediately. Next, remove the power plug from the
outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then
contact your service representative.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. DO NOT remove or connect the power plug with wet
hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock. . . . . . . . . . .
l ALWAYS contact your service representative for
maintenance or repair of internal parts. . . . . . . . . . .............
g
CAUTION
l
DO NOT pull the power cord when removing it from the
outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may become
broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock.
(ALWAYS grasp the power plug when removing the
power cord from the outlet.) . . . . . . . . . . .............................
. ALWAYS remove the power plug from the outlet when
moving the copier. If the power cord is damaged, there
is a danger of fire or electrical shock. ..........................
. If the copier will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the main switch OFF (0).
If it will not be used for an extended period of time
(vacations, etc.), remove the power plug from the outlet
for safety purposes during the time the copier is not in
use. ......
.......................................................................
l
ALWAYS hold the designated parts only when lifting or
moving the copier.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
. For safety purposes, ALWAYS remove the power plug
from the outlet when performing cleaning operations. . .
l
If dust accumulates within the copier, there is a danger
of fire or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that
you consult with your service representative in regard
to cleaning of internal parts. This is particularly effective
if accomplished prior to seasons of high humidity.
Consult with your service representative in regard to
the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the copier. . . .
Other
precautions
DO NOT place heavy objects on the copier or cause
other damage to the copier.
DO NOT open the front cover, turn off the main switch,
or pull out the power plug during copying.
During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount
does not cause any ill effect to one’s health. If, however,
the copier is used over a long period of time in a poorly
ventilated room or when making an extremely large
number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant.
To maintain the appropriate environment for copy work,
it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.
When lifting or moving the copier, contact your service
representative.
bDo not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or
printed circuit boards. They could be damaged by static
electricity.
BDO NOT attempt to perform any operations not
explained in this handbook.
mCAUTION : Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE
l
There is a sticker
(0
in the illustration) indicating paper capacity
attached to the inside of the drawer. Do not load paper above this
limit.
* When loading paper into the drawer, make sure that the copy side is
facing upward. (The copy side is the side facing upward when the
package is opened.)
* Check that the length adjustment plate and width guide make
