Important Safeguards
Always follow these important safeguards:
1 Read all of these instructions before using the unit.
2 Plug the power cord into a 3-conductor
(grounded) outlet. Check the Specifications
chapter to make sure the outlet meets the ampere
rating of this unit.
• Never ground the power cord to a gas pipe or
a water pipe.
• Keep the power cord away from hot surfaces.
• Avoid using an extension cord if possible.
• If you must use an extension cord, use only a
3-conductor cord rated for the ampere rating
of your unit. Refer to the Specifications
Chapter for this value. Power cords rated for less can overheat and become a fire hazard.
3 Do not operate the unit if any part of it is damaged, or if any part has been dropped, until it
is checked by a authorized Lanier Service Technician.
4 The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area.
5 Do not install the unit in areas that are:
• Damp or humid
• Exposed to direct sunlight
• Extremely dusty
• Poorly ventilated
• Close to machines generating ammonia such as diazo copy machines.
• Subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, for example, near an air
conditioner or heater
6 Place the unit on a firm, level surface.
7 For proper ventilation and cooling, keep the unit at least 0.4 inches back from the wall and
allow 0.4 inches of clearance on the left and right sides of the copier. Allow 29.6 inches of
clearance in the front.
8 Agency Certifications

Entering User Codes
Entering User Codes
This feature prevents unauthorized use of the copier by limiting copier access to those persons
who know an assigned User Code. The User Code feature monitors copier usage by department,
project, or persons, and tracks the number of copies made with each User Code.
The Key Operator can activate the User Code feature. When this feature is active, the Key
Operator can program User Codes into the copier’s memory. Each code can be from one to
eight digits in length. When this feature is turned ON, the user must enter an assigned User
Code, and press the (# Enter) key before the copier can be used.
The following instructions apply only when the User Code feature is turned ON.
1 Enter an assigned User Code using the key
pad.
• If you enter an invalid User Code, the
Message Display continues to show eight

Document Feeder
Document Feeder
The Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), feeds originals to the Exposure Glass for
copying and if Duplex Copying is selected, it turns the original over for copying the other side
of the original. Then, it exits the original onto the Document Tray.
• You can place up to 50 originals in the Document Feeder for automatic feeding of
originals to the Exposure Glass for copying.
• You may also select SADF which allows you to feed one original at a time into the
Document Feeder without having to press the Start key each time.
Precautions when using Document Feeders
1. Avoid using:
• Badly wrinkled or folded originals.
• Clipped or stapled originals.
• Carbon paper.
• Torn originals.
• Taped originals.
• Damp originals.
1. Folded or curled originals should be smoothed out before inserting into
the Document Feeder.
2. Feeding a stack of different width originals through the Document
Feeder is not recommended.
• Feed them through one at a time.
• You can, however, feed a stack of different length originals through the
Document Feeder.
3. If the surface of any two originals are so rough that they cannot be
moved when pinched between two fingertips, the friction between the
originals may obstruct paper separation even when the paper weight is
within specifications.
2. Avoid covering the two sensors on the doc-
ument feeder tray. These sensors detect the
original size and could cause the orignal
size to not be properly detected.

technologies that enhance the workplace, improve product performance, and prevent pollution. As
an Energy Star Partner, Lanier Worldwide, Inc. has determined Lanier’s 5515/5518 copiers meet
the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency. Energy Star guidelines require that all Energy
Star copiers have an ’OFF MODE’ feature that automatically turns the copier off after a period of
inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut-off.
In addition to the above requirements, the 5515/5518 copiers have been successfully been tested
with the following recycled paper:
• Lanier Recycled Copy Paper: 50% of Fiber Weight recycled with minimum 20% post-
consumer waste.

Chapter Overview
Definitions for the most often used terms are listed here.
Copier Terms
% (percentage)
The ratio of the original image size to the copied image size. If the copy
image is larger than the original, the % number is larger. A copied image
that is twice the size of the original is said to be 200%. If the copy image
is smaller than the original, the % number is lower. A copied image that is
half the size of the original is said to be 50%.
10-key pad
The portion of the Control Panel with numerical keys. These keys are
used primarily to input the desired number of copies and are also used to
input numerical data into the copier during programming.
Book Originals
Any bound original that cannot be fed through the Feeder. Because the
pages cannot be separated, they must be copied manually from the
Exposure Glass. The Book Original features can be used to make the
book copying process more efficient.
Bypass Feed Tray
A Tray used to feed single sheets of special or transparent stock into the
copier to be copied. Because sheets from this tray feed straight through
the copier paper path, the Tray is especially useful for feeding heavy
stock. See also: Stack Feed Bypass Tray.
Casual Operator
Charge Corona
Cleaning Unit
An operator that uses the copier to make copies but does not have Key
Operator responsibilities such as adding Toner or calling for service.
A device located near the Drum that activates the light sensitivity of the
Drum and prepares it to be exposed and imaged.
An assembly that cleans any residual image toner from the Drum in
preparation for the next image.
CLEAR/STOP Key
The Key used to stop a copy job while it is still running. It may also be
used to clear program functions from a previous job and return to the
default settings.
Control Panel
Copies
The surface at the front of the copier containing Keys used to control the
operation of the copier. It usually also contains the display that shows the
status of the copier or the job in progress.
The imaged paper output from a copier. It might be a direct reproduction
of the input document or it can contain any number of changes as
programmed into the copier such as Enlargement/Reduction, Trim/Mask,
etc.
Copies in Progress
Copies Selected
This display or part of a display shows how many copies of the total have
been made.
This display is the same as Copy Quantity, in that it shows the number of
copies requested.
G-1
Copy Paper
See: paper
Copy Quantity
This display or part of a Touch Screen shows the requested number of
copies.
Copy Size Keys
Darker Copies
Keys used to input the desired size of the copy.
This term refers to the amount of toner placed on the copy through the
imaging process. The amount of toner is controlled by the “darkness” of
the original and the amount of light used during the exposure process;
more light means less toner or image density.
Developer Material
Developer Unit
This is a supply used in the copier. It usually consists of two parts; a
carrier material and the toner. The developer material is only used by a
technician when installing a new unit or when cleaning a Developer Unit.
An assembly located near the drum inside the copier that delivers the
toner to the drum. It allow the correct amount of toner to be placed on the
drum for each image.
Document Feed Tray
Document Guide
The Tray where an original document is placed to feed into an ADF for
automatic feeding and copying.
These Guides are located in the Document Feed Tray. When correctly
positioned against the sides of an original document, they help to position
the pages of the document.
Document Receiving
Tray
A Tray used to accumulate the pages of an original document that have
completed the copying process.
Document Scale
Two scales located to the front and left of the Exposure Glass intended to
help locate original documents placed on the Glass for manual copying
and to identify a part of an original during the Editing process.
Documents
The set of pages either placed on the Exposure Glass or in the ADF to be
copied.
Drum Assembly
The unit located inside the copier that receives the image during the
exposure and imaging process and transfers this image to the copy paper.
It is light sensitive and should be protected from bright lights.
Duplexed Copies
Energy Saver Key
Copies that have been imaged on both sides of the sheet.
A Key used to place the copier into, or bring it out of an Energy Saver
Mode. In the Energy Saver Mode, the amount of energy consumed by the
copier is reduced.
Energy Star
A voluntary program introduced by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) intended to encourage the use of energy-
G-2
efficient technologies in the workplace. Requirements to qualify for
certification vary based on the speed of a Copier. For specifics on your
Copier, check the Specifications section of this Guide.
Exit Tray
A tray attached to the output end of the copier to collect copies. This tray
is usually removed when a Sorter or Finisher is installed. In this case, the
top tray of the Sorter or Finisher serves as the Exit Tray.
Exposure Glass
The glass surface located under the Document Cover or Document
Feeder. The original is placed here to make a copy. If an RADF is present,
it transports the original to this location. Once here, the original is
exposed by the Exposure Lamp located directly below the glass.
Exposure Lamp
The light source located directly below the Exposure Glass. It is the light
from this lamp that exposes the original, reflects off the original, travels
through the optics and exposes the Drum.
Exposure Pad
A Pad located on the bottom side of a Document Cover used to hold an
original in place on the Exposure Glass during the exposure process.
Factory Default
A setting in the copier that is set at the factory. You can change some of
these settings. Others can be changed by a Service Technician. See also
Initial Setting.
Front Cover
The Cover located at the front of the copier designed to allow access to
the interior of the copier. This allows the operator to add supplies, remove
paper misfeeds, or perform other maintenance as prescribed by the
Operator Guide.
Fused Toner
The image, usually black, that adheres to the surface of the copy paper.
This Toner is “Fused” to the surface of the paper using pressure and heat.
Fuser Assembly
Fuser Cleaning Pad
The unit located inside the exit area of the copier that provides heat and
pressure to attach the toner to the paper surface.
In certain copiers, it is necessary to clean toner residue and paper dust
from the Fuser Rollers. This provides extended life of the Rollers and
cleaner copies. At certain intervals, this pad must be replaced.
Graphic Display
Gray Scale
A Display that shows icons related to service or supply related error
condition. In some copiers, these icons may be incorporated into a graphic
representation of the copier to show the approximate position of an error.
A term referring to the shades of gray between the black and the white
areas on an original or copy. Normal copies reduce the shades of gray to
produce very dense blacks and clean whites. During the photo copy
modes, the copier is set to reproduce the shades of gray more faithfully,
but usually at the expense of the black density.
Initial Settings
Those settings displayed by a copier when it comes to the READY
G-3
condition. These settings may be either the Factory Default settings, or
Factory Default settings that have been modified permanently by either
you or your Service Technician to better fit your application.
Interrupt Key
Key Operator
Lighter Copies
The Key used to interrupt a long copy job in process in order to run a
single copy. Interrupt copies are limited to one, and the interrupt original
must be copied from the Exposure Glass.
The main operator responsible for the copier. This individual performs all
operator prescribed maintenance and is the main contact in the event of a
service call.
This term refers to the amount of toner placed on the copy through the
imaging process. The amount of toner is controlled by the “darkness” of
the original and the amount of light used during the exposure process;
more light means less toner or image.
Message Display
On/Stand by Switch
Original Cover
This display or part of a Touch Screen shows messages related to the
status of the copier, Help messages and program information.
A switch located on the exterior of the copier used to control the power to
the copier.
On copiers not equipped with a Document Feeder, a Cover protects the
Exposure Glass and prevents stray light from entering the copier during
the copy process. Unless copying a 3-dimensional object, the cover
should be down.
Original Direction
Indicator
This icon instructs the operator which direction to place the document in
the Document Feeder or on the Exposure Glass. This is particularly
helpful when different paper sizes are available and when certain features
are used such as; when reducing a legal sheet to letter-size paper, the icon
would instruct you to feed the original lengthwise.
Paper Tray
A paper carrier designed as part of the base of the copier. It is used to
store and feed a stack of paper of one size. Some are designed to be
adjusted but can only accommodate one size at a time.
paper weight
Throughout the Operator Guide there are references to 20 lb. or 24 lb.
paper. This refers to a standard measuring technique. A certain number of
sheets cut to a particular size weighs 20 or 24 pounds. The weight
specification usually correlates with the thickness of the paper. It also
generally implies stiffness with the lighter papers being more limber and
the heavier papers being stiffer. Copiers are designed to feed certain
weight papers through the Drawers or Cassettes. Heavier stock, such as
cover stock, can be fed through the Bypass Feed Tray.
Power Cord
The cord used to connect the copier to the power receptacle. The plug
design is specified depending on the amount of power the copier requires.
Make sure the receptacle is the correct one for your copier.
G-4
READY Indicator
This is an indicator that shows when the copier has warmed up and is
ready to make copies. It appears in several forms; a light, an icon, and the
message itself.
Release Lever
The lever located inside the Front Cover used to release the Upper Unit
for access to the paper path.
Separation Corona
One of the Coronas inside the copier. It is usually located near the Drum
and separates the paper from the Drum. Because it attracts the toner, and
since it is located below the paper, it has a tendency to get dirty. This can
require the Key Operator to either clean the coronas or call for service.
Sheet Feed Bypass
A tray that opens from the side of the machine, usually just above the
Primary Paper Tray or LCC. It is designed to feed a single sheet at a time.
This tray can be used to feed paper or transparency stock that would
normally not be placed in the Feed Drawers. Since it bypasses the normal
paper feeding mechanism and feeds straight through the paper path,
heavier stocks (like cover stock) feed better.
Sorter
An accessory attached to the output of a copier designed to perform a
sorting function. The sort function allows you to make multiple copy sets
of an original in such a way that the pagination matches the original
document.
Stack Feed Bypass
Feed Tray
A tray that opens from the side of the machine, usually just above the
LCC or Primary Paper Tray, and is designed to feed a stack of paper. This
tray can be used to feed paper or transparency stock that would normally
not be placed in the Feed Drawers. Since it bypasses the normal paper
feeding mechanism and feeds straight through the paper path, heavier
stocks (like cover stock) feed better.
Stack Key
This key is used to program the Stack functions. This is available only if a
Sorter or Finisher is present. In the stack mode, multiples of a single page
of a document are placed in separate Sorter Trays or are offset in the
Finisher Tray.
Start Key
Toner
This Key is used to start the copying process once all selections have been
made. On a Lanier copier, it is always green in color.
The black powder that is used to form the image on copy paper. In a color
copier, it would be colored. PLEASE NOTE: Toners are designed to
operate specifically in a copier and differ greatly on the copier
requirements. Toner from other copiers should never be mixed. At best,
the image would be too light or too dark. At worst, it can damage your
copier and require a service call to have the toner cleaned out and
replaced with the correct toner.
Toner Container
A container designed to simplify the reloading of toner in your copier.
G-5
Make sure the toner you add is correct for your copier before loading. See
the NOTE above.
Transparencies
Transport Belt
A clear plastic stock used to make an overhead transparency. Because
they are clear, they don’t feed from paper Drawers or Cassettes. However,
many Bypass Feed Trays are designed to handle transparency stock. Place
your transparency stock in the Bypass Feed Tray and use a normal copy
procedure.
The rubber surface on the under side of an ADF. It grips an original and
moves it across the Exposure Glass and returns it to the Document Exit
Area of the Document Feeder. To keep it operating correctly and to
prevent the buildup of dirt which can cause dirty copies, it must be
cleaned periodically.
User Codes
Zoom Keys
An option, usually built into a copier that, when activated by a
Technician, requires the operator to enter a User Code to make copies.
The copier can contain many accounts thereby allowing the Key Operator
to track copies made by individuals or departments.
The Zoom Keys are actually several keys that control the Enlargement or
Reduction of the image on the copy. In most cases, there is a 100% (actual
size) key, a key representing the highest Enlargement ratio, and a key
representing the lowest Reduction ratio. Pressing these last two keys steps
the copier optics in 1% increments. Pressing the 100% key returns the
copier to the actual size mode.
