When the copier is not used for a long time, be sure to turn it off.
Ensure that the machine is not operating and then turn the power switch to the "OFF" position.
If the power switch is turned off while the machine is operating, a misfeed may occur. Also the job that
was in progress will be totally canceled.
Dehumidification heater switch (DH POWER)
This copier is equipped with a dehumidification heater, which prevents dew condensation inside the
copier and moisture absorption of paper in the paper trays. If dew condensation occurs and causes
moisture absorption of paper, image quality may be deteriorated and paper misfeeds may occur
frequently. It is recommended that the dehumidification heater switch be left in the “ON” position in the
following cases even after the power switch is turned off.
G
In a low temperature season such as winter (When a sudden temperature change occurs, for
example, immediately after room heating is turned on, dew condensation may occur.)

Power save modes
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption and thereby reduce the
cost of operation and to conserve natural resources to help reduce environmental pollution. The two
power save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
#
KEY OPERATOR
The time to enter the preheat and auto power shut-off modes have been preset at the factory to 15 min.
for the preheat mode and 30 min. for the auto power shut-off mode. These times can be changed as
described in the key operator's guide. It is suggested that you set appropriate times according to the
actual usage of the copier.
Preheat mode
The copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed without any copier operation after the last
copy of a run is made or power is turned on and no copier operations have been made.
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the backlight of the display will be turned off. In this condition,
the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level thereby saving power. The preheat level is,
however, high enough to allow the copier to come to a ready condition or begin copying approximately
10 seconds after any key input is made.
To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the START ( ) key using
the normal copying procedure.
#
KEY OPERATOR See page 14 of the KEY OPERATOR'S GUIDE for information on setting the
preheat mode.
Auto power shut-off mode
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will enter the mode once the set time has elapsed
without any copier operation after the last copy of a run is made or the power is first turned on and no
copier operations have been made.
When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the displays and all the indicators except the
mode indicators (the COPY, PRINT, SCAN, or Fax indicator) will be turned off. In this condition, the fuser
in the copier will be turned off.
To turn the power back on, press the COPY key or another mode key that is lit. You can make desired
settings and press the START ( ) key after warm-up starts.

EXPOSURE ADJUSTMENT
This copier has four exposure modes to choose from: AUTO, TEXT, TEXT/PHOTO, and PHOTO.
Auto
This is the standard initial setting for this copier. In this mode, the characteristics of an original being
copied are "read" by the exposure system, and exposure adjustments are made automatically. This
optimizes the contrast of the copied images by reducing the effect of colored or shaded background
areas.
AUTO
Text, text/photo, and photo
Text mode: This mode is useful for enhancing very low density areas of an original or suppressing
unusually high-density background areas.
Text/photo mode: This mode provides the best balance for copying an original which contains both
text and photos. This mode is also useful for copying printed photographs.

Carcinogenicity : 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.
ChronicEffect
: 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.
