1 Safety Precautions
1. Before servicing, turn off the Power Switch, and unplug the AC power cord to prevent an electric shock.
2. When replacing parts, use only the manufacturer's recommended components.
3. Check the condition of the power cord. Replace if wear or damage is evident.
4. After servicing, be sure to restore all the grounding connections,harness and lead wires, insulation barriers, insulation papers,
shields, etc.
5. Before returning the serviced equipment to the customer, be sure to perform the following insulation resistance test to prevent
the customer from being exposed to shock hazards.
1.1. For Service Technicians
•Repair service shall be provided in accordance with the service manual in order to prevent fires, injury or electric
shock, which can be caused by improper repair work.
1. When repair services are provided, the product or its components shall not be altered or modified from the original design.
2. If a lead wire assembly is supplied as a repair part, it must be replaced as part of the repair.
3. FASTON terminals shall be plugged straight in and unplugged straight out.
•ICs and LSIs are vulnerable to static electricity.
When repairing, the following precautions will help prevent recurring malfunctions.
1. Cover all your plastic parts boxes with aluminum foil to prevent static electricity.
2. Ground the soldering irons.
3. Use a conductive mat on the worktable.
4. Do not touch the IC or LSI pins with bare fingers.
1.2. AC Caution
For safety, before closing the lower cabinet, please make sure of the following precautions.
1. The “ground” lead is fixed with the screw.
2. The AC connector is connected properly.

1.3. Personal Safety Precautions
1.3.1. Moving Sections of the Unit
Be careful not to let your hair, clothes, fingers, accessories, etc., become caught in any moving sections of the unit.
The moving sections of the unit are the rollers and a gear. There is a separation roller and a document feed roller which are rotated
by the document feed motor. A gear rotates the two rollers. Be careful not to touch them with your hands, especially when the unit
is operating.
1.3.2. Live Electrical Sections
CAUTION:
When servicing, never disassemble the unit with the AC power cord connected.
Live AC voltage is supplied to the primary side of the power supply unit.
1.4. Service Precautions
1.4.1. Precautions to Prevent Damage from Static Electricity
Electrical charges accumulate on a person. For instance, clothes rubbing together can damage electric elements or change their
electrical characteristics. In order to prevent static electricity, touch a metallic part that is grounded to release the static electricity.
Never touch the electrical sections such as the power supply unit, etc.

2.1. About Lead Free Solder (PbF: Pb free)
Note:
In the information below, Pb, the symbol for lead, will refer to standard solder or solder that contains lead.
We will use PbF solder when discussing the lead free solder used in our manufacturing process which is made from Tin, (Sn),
Silver, (Ag), and Copper, (Cu).
This model, and others like it, manufactured using lead free solder will have PbF stamped on the PCB. For service and repair
work we suggest using the same type of solder although, with some precautions, standard Pb solder can also be used.
Caution
• PbF solder has a melting point that is 50°~ 70°F, ( 3 0 °~ 40°C) higher than Pb solder. Please use a soldering iron with tempera-
ture control and adjust it to 700°± 20°F, (3 7 0 °± 10°C). When using high temperature soldering iron, please be careful not to
heat for too long.
• PbF solder will tend to splash if it is heated much higher than its melting point, approximately 1100°F, ( 6 0 0°C).
• If you must use Pb solder on a PCB manufactured using PbF solder, remove as much of the original PbF solder as possible and
be sure that any remaining is melted prior to applying the Pb solder.
• When applying PbF solder to double layered boards, please check the component side for excess which may flow onto the
opposite side (See figure, below).
2.1.1. Suggested PbF Solder
There are several types of PbF solder available commercially. While this product is manufactured using Tin, Silver, and Copper,
(Sn+Ag+Cu), you can also use Tin and Copper, (Sn+Cu), or Tin, Zinc, and Bismuth, (Sn+Zn+Bi). Please check the manufac-
turer’s specific instructions for the melting points of their products and any precautions for using their product with other
materials.
The following lead free (PbF) solder wire sizes are recommended for service of this product: 0.3mm, 0.6mm and 1.0mm.

2.2. Disposing of the P. C. Board
When disposing of a P. C. Board, delete all personal information such as telephone directory and caller list or scrap the P. C. Board.
2.3. Insulation Resistance Test
1. Unplug the power cord and short the two prongs of the plug with a jumper wire.
2. Turn on the power switch.
3. Measure the resistance value with an ohmmeter between the jumpered AC plug and each exposed metal cabinet part
(screw heads, control shafts, bottom frame, etc.).
Note: Some exposed parts may be isolated from the chassis by design. These will read infinity.
4. If the measurement is outside the specified limits, there is a possibility of a shock hazard.
2.4. Battery Caution
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the man-
ufacturer. Discard used batteries according to following caution.
Disposal of lithium batteries should be performed by permitted, professional disposal firms knowledgeable in state government
federal and local hazardous materials and hazardous waste transportation and disposal requirements.
A battery continues to have no transportation limitations as long as it is separated to prevent short circuits and packed in strong
packaging.
Commercial firms that dispose of any quantity of lithium cells should have a mechanism in place to account for their ultimate dis-
position. This is a good practice for all types of commercial or industrial waste.
NOTICE: (only for California in the United States)

2.5. Laser Beam and Fuser Unit Section
• The printer of this unit utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• The fuser unit is inside of the unit and gets hot. Do not touch it when removing the jammed paper or cleaning the lower glass.
2.6. Note for Repairing

Note:
1. Average yield is based on 3% coverage of the printable area with repetitive printing of continous printing(Letter/A4 size, single
side printing, default density). The yield of a Toner Cartridge varies depending on the coverage, temperature, humidity, media,
etc. Therefore, the average yield cannot be guaranteed.
2. A4 portrait in single-sided, printing 3 pages per print job. The yield of the drum cartridge when printing 1-page per print job, will
decrease to about half compared with printing 3-pages per print job. The yield of a Drum Cartridge varies depending on the
coverage, temperature, humidity, media, etc. Therefore, the average yield cannot be guaranteed.
