Improper installation may damage the copier.Please note the following during initial installation
and whenever the copier is moved.
2
If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may
form inside the copier. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality
and malfunctions. Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours
before use.
Do not install your copier in areas that are:
G
damp, humid, or very dusty
G
exposed to direct sunlight
G
poorly ventilated
G
subject to extreme temperature or humidity
changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or
heater.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The emission
level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.
2
NOTE:
The present recommended long term exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 ppm (0.2 mg/m3)
calculated as an 8 hr. time-weighted average concentration.
However, since the small amount that is emitted may have an objectionable odor, it is
advisable to place the copier in a ventilated area.
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the performance of this copier.
Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock
or strike it against any object.
Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct
sunlight.
Doing so will damage the surface (green portion)
of the drum cartridge, causing smudges on copies.
Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges andTD cartridges in a dark place
without removing from the package before use.
If they are exposed to direct sunlight, smudges on copies may result.
Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.
Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing smudges on copies.

NORMAL COPYING
This copier has two document input stations - a reversing single pass feeder (RSPF) for automatic
document feeding and an original table for manual handling of documents.The RSPF is designed
to hold up to 30 originals measuring from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 8-1/2" x 14" and weighing from 14
to 23 lbs.
When copying from the RSPF, two-side originals can be copied automatically without having to
manually turn them over.
Automatic two-sided copying can also be performed with this copier. When copying from one-
sided originals to two-sided copies, copying orientation can be selected betweenTurn on Long
Edge and Turn on Short Edge.

Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the RSPF. It is recommended that
such originals be copied from the original table.
Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through the
RSPF, but should be placed directly on the original table.
Image loss (max.5/32" (4 mm)) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of
the copies. Also image loss (max. 11/64" (4.5 mm) in total) can occur along
the other edges of the copies. It can be 15/64" (6 mm) (max.) at the trailing

This chapter describes misfeed removal and troubleshooting.
MISFEED REMOVAL
When the misfeed ( ) indicator blinks or
blinks in the display, the copier will stop because
of a misfeed.
If a misfeed occurs when using the RSPF, a number may appear in the display after a minus
sign. This indicates the number of the originals that must be returned to the document feeder
tray after a misfeed. Return the required number of originals. Then this number will disappear
when copying is resumed or the clear ( ) key is pressed.
When the RSPF misfeeds an original sheet, the copier will stop and the RSPF misfeed ( )
indicator will blink, while the misfeed ( ) indicator will remain off. For a misfeed of originals in
the RSPF, see “E Misfeed in the RSPF” on page 39.
If the copier is turned on with the lower side cover open, the misfeed (
indicator will blink. In this case, close the lower side cover. The misfeed (
