CAUTION
This product is a class 1 laser product that complies with 21CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 of the CDRH
standard and IEC825. This means that this machine does not produce hazardous laser radiation. The use
of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
This laser radiation is not a danger to the skin, but when an exact focusing of the laser beam is achieved
on the eye’s retina, there is the danger of spot damage to the retina.
The following cautions must be observed to avoid exposure of the laser beam to your eyes at the time of
servicing.
1) When a problem in the laser optical unit has occurred, the whole optical unit must be exchanged as a
unit, not as individual parts.
2) Do not look into the machine with the main switch turned on after removing the developer unit, toner
cartridge, and drum cartridge.
3) Do not look into the laser beam exposure slit of the laser optical unit with the connector connected
when removing and installing the optical system.
4) The middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.
Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.
LASER WAVE – LENGTH : 780 ~ 795
Pulse times : 0.481ms/6mm

At the production line, the output power
of the scanner unit is adjusted to 0.57
MILLI-WATT PLUS 20 PCTS and is
maintained constant by the operation of
the Automatic Power Control (APC).
Even if the APC circuit fails in operation
for some reason, the maximum output
power will only be 15 MILLI-WATT 0.1
MICRO-SEC. Giving and accessible
emission level of 42 MICRO-WATT
which is still-less than the limit of
CLASS-1 laser product.
The foregoing is applicable only to the 220V
model
,
230V model and 240V model.

[1] GENERAL
1. General
This model is a digital personal copier produced with key words
of “Comfort able copy, Clear copy, Easy copy” providing high
copy performances and copy productivity.
2. Target User Copy Volume: Monthly
Average
Copies: 300 ∼600 (Max. 800)
Prints: 300 ∼600 (Max. 800)
3. Main features
(1) High-speed laser copying
●Since warm-up time is zero, copying can be started imme-
diately after the power switch is turned on.
●First-copy time is only 9.6 seconds (normal mode).
●Copying speed is 10 copies/min., which adapts to business
use, allowing improvement of working efficiency.
(2) High-quality digital image
●High-quality image copying at 600 dpi can be performed.
●In addition to the automatic exposure mode, the manual ex-
posure can be adjusted in five steps.
●The photo mode copying function allows clear copying of
delicate halftone original images such as monochrome
photos and color photos.
(3) Substantial copying functions
●Zoom copying from 50% to 200% in 1% increments can be
performed.
●Continuous copying of maximum 99 sheets can also be per-
formed.
●Toner save mode reduces toner consumption by ap-
proximately 10%.
●User programs allow setting/modification of functions for
customer’s needs.
4. Environmental
The environmental conditions for assuring the copy quality and
the machine operations are as follows:

∗1 Drum replacement required indicator
When the drum counter reaches 17,000 copies, the indicator lights up. After 1,000 additional copies are made, the indicator starts
blinking and machine will hard-stop (after current job) until a new cartridge is installed.
Misfeed indicator
TD cartridge replacement required indicator
When toner density is lower than a specified level, the TONER DEVELOPER CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT indicator lights up
to warn the user.
If toner is not added after approximately 10 sheets are copied, the indicator starts blinking and machine starts to supply
toner.(Toner Developer cartridg replacement indicator keeps lighting up)
If toner density is not back to specific level after two minutes, the READ indicator goes out and Toner Developer indicator starts
blinking, and the copier stops.
∗2 ON: Indicates that the machine is in the energy saving (pre-heat) mode.
Blink: Indicates that the machine is in the process of resetting from the energy saving mode or just after supplying the power.
OFF: Indicates that resetting from the energy saving mode is completed and that the fusing temperature is in ready state.

1. A WORD ON COPIER INSTALLATION
Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the
following during initial installation and whenever the copier is
moved.
Do not install your copier 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.

holding the handles on both sides of the copier.
4. REMOVING PROTECTIVE PACKING
MATERIALS
(1) Remove pieces of tape (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h)
and protective cover (i). Then open the original cover and
remove protective materials (j) and (k).
(2) Use a coin (or suitable object) to remove the screw.
Store the screw in the paper tray because it will be used if
the copier has to be moved.
5. INSTALLING THE TD CARTRIDGE
(1) Open the side cover while pressing the side cover open
button.
(2) Remove the CAUTION tape from the front cover and
remove the two protective pins from the fusing unit by pull-
ing the strings upward one at a time.
(3) Push gently on both sides of the front cover to open the
cover.
(4) Remove the TD cartridge from the bag. Remove the
protective paper. Hold the cartridge on both sides and
shake it horizontally four or five times.

6. LOADING COPY PAPER (installing the
paper tray)
(1) Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray
out until it stops.
(2) Remove the pressure plate lock. Rotate the pressure plate
lock in the direction of the arrow to remove it while pressing
down the pressure plate of the paper tray.
(3) Store the pressure plate lock which has been removed in
step 2 and the screw which has been removed when un-
packing (see page 5-2, step 2 of REMOVING PROTEC-
TIVE PACKING MATERIALS) in the front of the paper tray.
To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to fix it on
the relevant location.
(4) Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper
width and length.Squeeze the lever of paper guide (A) a
and slide the guide to match with the width of the paper.
Move paper guide (B) to the appropriate slot as marked on
the tray.
(5) Fan the copy paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure
the edges go under the corner hooks.
(6) Gently push the paper tray back into the copier.
7. PLUGGING IN THE COPIER
(1) Ensure that the power switch of the copier is in the OFF
position. Insert the attached power cord into the power cord
socket at the rear of the copier.
(2) Plug the other end of the power cord into the nearest outlet.
