MODEL JX-8200
CAUTION
This laser printer 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 upper frame and the middle frame contains the safety interlock switch.
Do not defeat the safety interlock by inserting wedges or other items into the switch slot.

[5] INSTALLATION
1. Installation (use) environment check
Be sure to check the following installation (use) environment check
before installing the machine.
If the installation (use) environment conditions are not satisfied as
shown below, the machine may not display its performance fully,
causing troubles and safety problems. If the installation (use) condi-
tions are not satisfied, be sure to arrange the conditions before in-
stalling the machine.
No. Contents
1 Installing space
2 Power source (capacity, fluctuation, safety)
3 Base strength
4 Direct sunlight, dust, temperature, humidity, gases, chemicals
(1) Installing space
Allow the following space around the machine for proper operations
and machine performances.
Also consider the space for options.
Allow enough space at the back of the machine. If this space is not
sufficient, heat radiation or dust prevention is not performed properly,
causing poor performances and troubles.
(2) Power source
(capacity, voltage, frequency, safety, plug)
If the power source conditions are not satisfied, the machine perfor-
mances cannot be displayed and safety problems may occur.
1) Capacity of power source
Check that the following power capacity is satisfied. If not, add the
power source.
Power capacity: 15A or more (100V series)
Power capacity: 7A or more (200V series)
2) Power voltage
Measure the voltage during copying to check that it is the rated
voltage +- 10 %.
If the above condition is not satisfied, use thicker wire to reduce
the impedance.
There is another way to use a step-up transformer, the capacity of
which should be more than the max. power consumption of the
machine.
3) Power frequency, waveform
The frequency fluctuation should be within +-2% of the specified
frequency. If the waveform is distorted, troubles may be caused.
4) Safety
Be sure to ground the machine.
5) Power plug
Check the power plug shape, and do not use unmatched-shape
one.
(3) Base strength and horizontal level
This condition contributes to the safety. Be sure to use a base of
sufficient strength.
If the machine is not levelled, the toner density control is not per-
formed properly, affecting the print quality adversely.
(4) Avoid the locations of extremely high or low
temperature, or high or low humidity (i.e., near
a heater, air conditioner, humidifier).
1) Temperature, humidity
The paper contained inside will absorb moisture and condensation
will form inside the printer. This will result in paper jams and poor
print quality.
Operation environment temperature and humidity
15 ∼27°C (20 ∼70%)
2) Dust
If dust enters the machine, dirty copy, paper jam, of shortened life
may be caused.
3) Direct sunlight
If the machine is subject to direct sunlight, the external cabinet
may be discolored and copy quality may be degraded.

4) Gases and chemicals
Avoid installation near gases and chemicals. Especially be careful
of a diazo copier, which may generate ammonia gas. Installation
near gases may adversely affect print quality, causing troubles.
5) Vibration
Avoid installation near a machine which generates vibrations.
If vibrations are exerted to the printer, the print images are
deflected and troubles may be caused.
2. Printer Handling
In order to maintain the printer’s high performance, always adhere to
the following handling procedures.
(1) Do not allow the printer to fall over, be
subjected to shocks, or be hit by foreign
objects.
(2) Do not subject the drum cartridge to light.
If subjected to excessive light, the photoconductive surface of the
drum (green surface) will be damaged, resulting in poor print quality.
(3) Always store spare toner cartridges, developer
units, or drum cartridges, in a dark location
without removing them from the boxes they
came in.
3. Unpacking
1) Cut the packing straps and tape that hold the top portion of the
box onto the printer package and lift off the top portion.
2) Lift off the top Styrofoam packing to expose the printer. Then with
two people holding the printer at its bottom, carefully lift up the
printer and carry it to the location where it is to be installed.
WARNING: When carrying the printer, always have at least two
people lift the printer. The printer weighs approximately
42 kg (93 pounds) with all components installed. At-
tempting to lift it alone can lead to injury.
3) After removing any remaining protective tape, proceed to the next
section.

printer including the power cable and computer interface cable.
4) Have two people lift the printer by holding it at its bottom and lay
the printer on top of the secondary feeder so that the two position-
ing pins fit into their holes that are located on the bottom of the
printer.
WARNING: The printer weighs 42 kg (93 pounds). Be careful when
lifting the printer. It is very heavy and requires two
people to carry. Do not attempt to carry it by yourself or
allow anyone else to do so.
5) Connect the connection cable from the back of the secondary
feeder to the secondary feeder power connector on the back of
the printer.
6) Remove the universal cassette from the secondary feeder and
load the paper.
7) Reconnect the power and interface cables and turn on the printer.
After the printer warms up, the control panel will display PCL
LE/A4 (the on-line display will differ depending on the current
emulation setting and size of paper installed). This completes the
installation.
