MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable
(moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse
to BS1362 marked or and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must
be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without
the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied
either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable
plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.
DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately
and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted
elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth
BLUE: Neutral
BROWN: Live
As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol , or coloured green or green-
and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
Nor coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter Lor coloured red.

TURNING THE POWER ON AND OFF
The power switch is located on the left side of the machine.
POWER ON
Turn the power switch to the "ON" position
•It will take about 45 seconds
for the machine to warm up.
•When the power switch is
turned to the "ON" position,
the message "System check."
will appear in the message
display and warm-up will start.
Once the copier has finished warming up, the
message display will change to "Ready to copy." and
the START indicator will light up to indicate that
copying is possible. Copy settings can be selected
during warm-up.
•If auditing mode has been enabled (page 79), the
message "Enter your account number." will appear
after warming up. Once a valid account number has
been entered, the message display will change to
"Ready to copy." and copying will be possible.
POWER OFF
Make sure that the machine is not in operation
and then turn the power switch to the "OFF"
position.
If the power switch is turned off
while the machine is in
operation, a misfeed may occur
and the job that was in progress
will be cancelled.
Power save modes
The machine has two power save modes to reduce power consumption, thereby helping to reduce environmental
pollution and conserve resources.
Preheat mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the duration of time set in the
key operator programs elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. In preheat mode the display
turns off. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is
placed, or a print job or fax is received.
Auto power shut-off mode
This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the
duration of time set in the key operator programs elapses without the machine being used when the power is on.
During auto power shut-off, only the mode key indicators are lit. To restore the machine to normal operation, press
any one of the mode keys. Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job or fax is received or
scanning is begun from a computer. While auto power shut-off is in effect, pressing a key other than a mode key will
have no effect.
•If the fax option is installed, be sure to keep the power turned on.
Faxes cannot be received when the power is turned off.
•The machine is set at the factory to return all settings to the default settings one minute after a copy job is
finished (auto clear function). When the settings return to the default settings, any functions that were selected
are cancelled. The auto clear time can be changed in the key operator programs. (Page 83)
The preheat mode activation time and the "Auto power shut-off timer" can be changed in the key operator
programs. (Page 85)
