COPIER INSTALLATION
Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following during
initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.
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:
●
damp, humid, or very dusty
●
exposed to direct sunlight
●
poorly ventilated
●
subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an
air conditioner or heater.
The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet
for easy connection.
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 copier 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.
4" (10 cm)
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for
servicing and proper ventilation.
A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier 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 copier in a ventilated area.
8
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.
Doingsowilldamagethesurface(greenportion)ofthedrumcartridge,
causing poor copy quality.
Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges
in a dark place without removing from the package before use.
If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor 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.

Ensure that the power switch of the copier is in the OFF
position. Plug the power cord into the nearest outlet.
If you use the copier in a country other than the country
where the copier was purchased, you will need to make
sure that your local power supply is compatible with
your model. If you plug the copier into an incompatible
power supply, irreparable damage to the copier will
result.
Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded
wall socket.
Do not use extension cords or power strips.

improperly installed.
When the paper size is changed in a paper tray, the size of the
paper must be entered by steps 8 through 11 on page 15. If not,
the edges of copies may become smudged with toner. Also, the

NORMAL COPYING
●
This copier has two document input stations — a single
pass feeder (SPF) for automatic document feeding and an
original table for manual handling of bound documents.
The SPF is designed to hold up to 30 originals measuring
from 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" to 11" x 17" and in the weight range of
15 to 24 lbs.
Damaged or crumpled originals may misfeed in the SPF.
It is recommended that these originals be copied from the
original table.
Special originals such as transparency film and tracing
paper should not be fed from the SPF, but should be
placed directly on the original table.
Image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm)) can occur at the leading
edge of the copies. It can be 15/64" (6 mm) at the trailing
edge of the copies which are made using the SPF. Also
image loss (max. 5/32" (4 mm) in total) can occur along
the other edges of the copies.
●
●
●
Before loading originals into the SPF, be sure to remove
any staples or paper clips from them.
Using the SPF
Turn the power switch on.
●
It will take about 35 seconds for the copier to warm up.
However, you can make desired settings and press the START (

POWER SAVE MODES
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption
thereby reducing the cost of operation. In addition, these modes conserve
natural resources and help reduce environmental pollution. The two power
save modes are preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode.
●
User programs
The preheat activation time and the auto power shut-off time have been
presetatthefactoryto90sec. forpreheatmodeand30min. forautopower
shut-off mode. These times can be changed using user programs. It is
suggested that you set appropriate times according to the actual usage of
the copier. (See page 49.)
Preheat mode
Whenthecopierentersthepreheatmode, thePOWERSAVE( )indicator
will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. 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
tocometoareadyconditionorbegincopyingwithin10secondsafteranykey
input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.
Auto power shut-off mode
When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the POWER SAVE
indicator will light up and all other indicators will go out. The auto power

Section 4. Hazardous Identification (Emergency Overview)
Toner is a fine, black powder possessing no immediate hazard. There are no anticipated carcinogenic effects
from exposure based on animal tests performed using toner. When used as intended according to instructions,
studies do not indicate any symptoms of fibrosis will occur.
Section 5. Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry:
Inhalation?
Skin?
Ingestion?
Yes
No
Possible but very unusual.
Health Hazards: Acute oral toxicity ------- LDL0 of this toner is over 2,000mg/kg.
Mutagenicity -------------- The result of Ames test is negative.
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.
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.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Minimal irritation to respiratory tract may occur as with exposure to any
non-toxic dust.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: None
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation; Remove to fresh air. If effects occur, consult medical personnel.
Eye;
In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
