SF-7200
FEATURES:
The SF-7200 has a moving original table copier which is
capable of producing 12 (letter size, A4) copies per
minute. The maximum original size is 10" x 14” (B4).
Two-step enlarge/reduce ratios:
Maximum enlarge ratio up to two times the original
image (four times in area).
Color copying:
Exchanging the developing unit enables you to produce
clopies in black, blue, red, or brown.
Automatic preheat:
In order to save power consumption, the copier will go
into the preheat mode automatically, when the machine
is left unoperated for about 20 minutes.
Front loading cassette:
It has the front loading, two-way cassette method. A
250-sheet universal cassette can be loaded on the ma-
chine on the lower part of the front cabinet, it permits
easier cassette mounting. Not only does this eliminate
the cassette from projecting out from the machine, but
it also saves on machine operating space.
The manual paper feed tray also works for a manual
insertion of special paper and single sheet two sided
copying.
Automatic exposure:
Clear image reproduction is obtained automatically. The
degree of exposure is determined by the copier, based on
the original density and background color.
Use of the OPC drum:
Clam shell design:
The
SF-7200
incorporates
a
clam
shell
mechanism
that
permits
easier
access
to
the
internal
mechanisms
for
machine
servicing,
drum
replacement,
and
paper
misfeed
removal.
Self diagnosis:
The
cause
of
a
machine
malfunction
is
displayed
as
an
alphanumeric
status
code
on
the
multicopy
display.
Test command function:
Test
commands
help
to
locate
trouble,
or
check
the
proper
functioning
of
a
component.
Internal drying heater:
Drying
heater
is
used
to
prevent
condensation
caused
by
abrupt
temperature
changes.
Keyboard commands:
Permits
multicopy
of
1
to
99
sheets,
repeated
copy,
and

copy
(PAUSE)
during
multicopy
operation.
A

2. Installation
Installation requirements
Please note the following requirements when installing the
copier.
(1) Machine environment
@ Avoid installation in direct sunlight or bright locations
near a window.
Direct sunlight may cause the plastic components and
the original cover to deform. Frosted glass may also
produce the same effect.
® Avoid installation in a hot, damp place or where rapid
changes in humidity occur (for example; near an air
conditioner).
This may cause paper to dampen or frost to occur
inside the copier, and may lead to a misfeed and a
deterioration in the copy quality.
The recommended environmental conditions are:
20 to 25°C (68 to 77°F), 65% + 5%RH
The nominal! environmental conditions are:
15 to 30°C (59 to 86°F), 20 to 85%RH.
If
the
copier
is
to
be
installed
in
an
area
of
higher
temperature
the
humidity
should
be
lower.
Example;
If
the
temperature
is 35°C
(95°F),
the
humidity
should
be
65%.

@) Avoid, installation in a place where dust or vibration is
encountered.
Dust deposit inside the copier may lead to a deteriora-
tion of copy quality or machine trouble.
@
Do
not
install
the
copier
on
an
unstable
or
uneven
surface.
The
copier
must
be
placed
on
a
level
surface
to
permit
proper
functioning.
6)
Avoid
installation
in
a
place
where
ventilation
or
air
circulation
is
poor.
©)
Never
install
the
copier
near
inflammable
materials
or
in
the
presence
of
ammonia
gas.
Installation
near
a
diazo
copy
machine
may
lead
to
a
deterioration
of
copy
quality
or
a
machine
malfunc-
tion.
@) install the copier near the wall outlet.
(2) Space around the copier
The
copier
requires
at
least
10cm
of
clearance
between
the
rear
side
and
the
wall.
This
space
is
required
for
proper
cooling
fan
ventilation.
Adequate
working
space
around
the
machine
should
also
be
allowed
for
ease
of
operation.
(3) Copier table
Install
the
machine
on
a
level
surface.
Place
a
water
level
in
the
center
of
original
glass
and
check
level
front
to
rear
and
side
to
side.
Use
as
many
adjusting
shims
as
required
until
the copier is level.
NOTE:
The
parts
code
of
the
water
level
is
UKOGM0054-
CCZZ.
Thickness: Imm
Height adjusting shim
(PSRA-0002FCZZ)
NOTE:
The
toner
density
and
copy
quality
may
be
affected
unless
the
machine
is
installed
in
a
level
condition.

(4) Power source
® The power supply line should have a capacity of more
than 15A, capable of supplying more than 90% of the
rated voltage at full load.
@ Do not use an extension cord or operate any other
equipment from the same wall outlet.
(5) Ground connection
®D Use a properly grounded (three prong) wall outlet
only.
@® Wall outlet must be properly grounded.
©) Connect the ground cable to an authorized ground line
connected to 3 copper bar more than 65cm (25.6”)
buried underground, but never connect it to a gas line.
