CAUTIONS  
Follow the cautions below when using this machine.  
CAUTIONS ON USING THE MACHINE  
Warning:  
• The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.  
• Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.  
Caution:  
• Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it  
back on.  
• Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.  
• Place the machine on a firm, level surface.  
• Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.  
• When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off  
and remove the power cord from the outlet.  
• When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.  
• Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat  
dissipation, damaging the machine.  
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in  
hazardous laser radiation exposure.  
• The socket-outlet should be installed near the machine and should be easily accessible.  
IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN SELECTING AN  
INSTALLATION SITE  
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the  
machine is moved.  
If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the machine. Operation  
in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least  
2 hours before use.  
Caution  
Do not install your machine in areas that are:  
damp, humid, or very  
exposed to direct sunlight  
dusty  
poorly  
ventilated  
subject to extreme  
temperature or humidity  
changes, e.g., near an  
air conditioner or  
heater.  
3
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and  
disconnection.  
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and  
current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.  
Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is  
connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.  
Note  
Be sure to allow the required space around the  
machine for servicing and proper ventilation.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the machine during operation.  
The emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.  
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  
machine in a ventilated area.  
CAUTIONS ON HANDLING THE MACHINE  
Observe the following precautions when handling the machine to maintain top performance.  
Do not drop the machine, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.  
Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package before use.  
• If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.  
Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).  
• Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

modes.  
POWER SAVE MODES  
The machine has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the cost of  
operation. These modes help conserve natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. The two power save  
modes are "Preheat mode" and "Auto power shut-off mode".  
The time settings for each mode can be changed in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operators guide".)  
Preheat mode  
When the set time elapses, the temperature of the fusing unit is automatically lowered to reduce power consumption  
while on standby. The factory default setting is 15 minutes. To return to normal operation, touch any key on the  
operation panel. To make a copy when the machine is in this mode, simply select the desired copy selections and  
then press the [START] key (  
).  
Auto power shut-off mode  
When the set time elapses, the power to the fusing unit automatically turns off to reduce power consumption (This is  
based on the guidelines of the International Energy Star Program.). The factory default setting is 60 minutes. When  
the machine enters this mode, the touch panel screen turns off and only the [START] key (  
) blinks. To return to  
normal operation, press the [START] key ( ). To copy after warm-up starts, make desired copy selections and  
press the [START] key (  
).

COPY FUNCTIONS  
POINTS TO NOTE WHEN MAKING COPIES  
Document glass and RSPF  
Paper in a different orientation from the original can be selected if the auto paper select or auto image function has  
been selected. In this case, the image of the original will be rotated.  
When copying a book or an original that has been folded or crumpled, press down gently on the document  
cover/RSPF. This will reduce shadow lines caused by uneven contact between the original and the document  
glass.  
When the centre tray counter function is enabled, the number of pages that can be delivered to the output tray is  
limited to 500 (A4 and 8-1/2" x 11" sizes only; the limit for all other sizes is 300 pages). When the offset function is  
used, the limit is approximately 300 pages. When the limit is reached, copying stops and the [START] key (  
)
light turns off. Remove the copies from the centre tray and then press the [START] key ( ) to resume copying.  
The centre tray counter function can be disabled in the key operator programs. (See the "Key operators guide".)  
Originals that can be used in the RSPF  
A maximum of 100 sheet originals of equal size (A4, 90 g/m2 (8-1/2" x 11", 24 lbs.)) can be placed in the RSPF.  
Originals of different length can be placed together in the RSPF as long the widths are equal; however, some copy  
functions may not operate correctly.  
Acceptable originals  
Originals of size A5 to A3 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17") having a weight of 35 g/m2 to 128 g/m2 (9 lbs. to 34 lbs.) or  
52 g/m2 to 105 g/m2 (14 lbs. to 28 lbs.) for two-sided originals can be used.  
Other considerations  
Use originals that are within the specified size and weight ranges. Originals outside the specified ranges may  
cause misfeeds.  
Make sure that there are no paper clips or staples on the original.  
If an original has damp spots from correction fluid or ink, or glue from pasteups, be sure it has dried completely  
before using it to make a copy. Otherwise the interior of the RSPF or the document glass may become soiled.  
The following originals cannot be used. These may cause misfeeds, smudging, and unclear images.  
Transparencies, tracing paper, other transparent or translucent paper, photographs  
Carbon paper  
Thermal paper  
Originals that are creased, folded, or torn  
Glued originals, cut-out originals  
Originals with binder holes  
Originals printed using an ink ribbon (thermal transfer printing), originals printed on thermal transfer paper  
Removing the document cover  
To copy large originals like newspaper, remove the document cover.  
To remove it, open the document cover and lift it at a slightly backward angle. To replace the cover, do the  
reverse.  
The RSPF cannot be removed.

Acute Toxicity  
Ingestion (oral)

Eye irritation  
: Not an irritant (Rabbits)  
Skin irritation

Mutagenicity  
Carcinogenicity  
: Not an irritant (Rabbits)  
: No sensitization  
: Negative (Ames Test)  
: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human  
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate  
human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of  
carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats  
receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle  
overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show  
any association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer  
bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no  
association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET  
Data Revised: Jul. 31. 2002  
Data Issued: Apr. 2. 2001  
MSDS No. F-00981  
Chronic Effect  
: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate  
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration  
(16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of  
the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was  
reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential  
human exposures.

: LD50 > 2500mg/kg (Rats)  
: No data  
Eye irritation  
: No data  
Skin irritation  
Skin sensitizer  
Mutagenicity  
Carcinogenicity  
: Not an irritant (Rabbits)  
: No sensitization  
: Negative (Ames Test)  
: In 1996 the IARC reevaluated carbon black as a Group 2B carcinogen (possible human  
carcinogen). This classification is given to chemicals for which there is inadequate  
human evidence, but sufficient animal evidence on which to base an opinion of  
carcinogenicity. The classification is based upon the development of lung tumors in rats  
receiving chronic inhalation exposures to free carbon black at levels that induce particle  
overload of the lung. Studies performed in animal models other than rats did not show  
any association between carbon black and lung tumors. Moreover, a two-year cancer  
bioassay using a typical toner preparation containing carbon black demonstrated no  
association between toner exposure and tumor development in rats.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET  
Data Issued: Aug. 1. 2003  
MSDS No. F-31201  
Chronic Effect  
: In a study in rats of chronic inhalation exposure to a typical toner, a mild to moderate  
degree of lung fibrosis was observed in 92% of the rats in the high concentration  
(16mg/m3) exposure group, and a minimal to mild degree of fibrosis was noted in 22% of  
the animals in the middle (4mg/m3) exposure group, but no pulmonary change was  
reported in the lowest (1mg/m3) exposure group, the most relevant level to potential  
human exposures.

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  
be used.  
or  
and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must  
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:  
BROWN:  
Neutral  
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 Å@, 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  
N or coloured black.  
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the  
letter L or coloured red.  
If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
