1. Note for servicing
Pictogram
The label ( ) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the
following:
: Caution, risk of danger
: Caution, hot surface
A. Warning for servicing
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed
paper.
•Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective material
such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path.
It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams.
B. Cautions for servicing
•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during
prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.
•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while
the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily
accessible.
C. Note for installation place
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the
following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.
Caution : If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
condensation may form inside the machine. Operation in this
condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave
the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours before
use.
Do not install your machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•poorly ventilated
•exposed to direct sunlight
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection and disconnection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the
specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet
is properly grounded.
Note : Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same
outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

D. Note for handling PWB and electronic parts
When handling the PWB and the electronic parts, be sure to observe the
following precautions in order to prevent against damage by static
electricity.
1) When in transit or storing, put the parts in an anti-static bag or an anti-
static case and do not touch them with bare hands.
2) When and after removing the parts from an anti-static bag (case), use
an earth band as shown below:
• Put an earth band to your arm, and connect it to the machine.
3) When repairing or replacing an electronic part, perform the procedure
on an anti-static mat.

1. Installing conditions
A.The machine installation
Do not install your the machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•exposed to direct sunlight
•poorly ventilated
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
•Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.
B.Power source
•Use an exclusive to dedicated power outlet. If the power plug of this
machine is inserted into a power outlet commonly used with other
illumination units, flickers of the lamp may be result. Use a power outlet
which is not used commonly with any illumination units.
•Avoid complex wiring.
C.Grounding wire connection.
•To avoid danger, the power outlet must be grounded. If no grounding
wire is connected and a leakage occurs, a fire or an electric shock may
be result.
2. Removal of protective material and fixing
screw
1) Remove all tapes and protective material.
•Remove all tapes, then open the document cover and remove the
protective material of sheet shape
2) Remove the fixing screw.
•Use a coin to remove the fixing screw.
•The fixing screw is required when transporting the machine. Keep it in
the tray. (Refer to the later description.)
3.Installing procedure
A.Developer cartridge installation
1) Open the bypass tray, and open the side cover.
2) Open the front cover.
•Hold the both sides and pull down to open.
3) Loosen the screw and remove the developer cartridge.
4) Remove the developer tank from the developer cartridge.
5) While rotating the MG roller in the arrow direction, supply the
developer into the developer tank evenly so as not to overflow.
* Shake the developer bag enough before opening it.

6) Check that two hooks of the developer unit is hooked on the toner
cartridge guide, and secure the toner cartridge guide to the
developing unit.
* Check that the DV seal is free from the developer. If developer is
attached to the DV seal, clean it.
* After supplying developer, do not tilt or shake the developer
cartridge.
7) Attach the developer cartridge to the main unit, and secure it with
the screw.
Note: After inserting the DV unit into the machine, be sure to tighten the
blue screw to fix it to the machine.
B.Toner cartridge installation
1) Remove the new toner cartridge from the bag. Grasp the cartridge
on both sides and shake it horizontally four or five times.
2) Insert the toner cartridge along the guides until it locks in place while
pushing the lock release lever
•If there is any dirt or dust on the toner cartridge, remove it before
installing the cartridge..
C. Set the toner density reference control level
1) With the front cover open, turn ON the machine power and enter
SIM25-02.
Note: When the machine is not in the simulation mode, if the front
cover is closed and the machine power is turned ON, toner
may be supplied from the toner cartridge to the developer
cartridge.
Under this state, the toner density reference control level
adjustment cannot be made properly.
Therefore, if the front cover is closed and the machine power
is turned ON with the machine not in the simulation mode,
dispose developer and supply new developer and adjust the
toner density reference level.
2) Close the front cabinet.
3) Press [START] key, and execute SIM25-02.
Note: It takes about 3 minutes to execute SIM25-02 completely.
During execution of this simulation, the front cover must not be
opened and the machine power must not be turned OFF.
4. Removal and storage of fixing screw
1) Lift the knob and gently pull out the tray.
2) Hold the paper pressure plate and turn the fixing screw in the arrow
direction.
3) Store the fixing pin and the fixing screw in the tray.
•Store the fixing screw which was removed in the above procedure 2 and
the fixing screw which was removed in procedure 2 of 2.
•Removal of protective material and fixing screw in the storage place in
the tray.
