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:  
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.  
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.  
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for  
servicing and proper ventilation.  
4" (10 cm)  
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.

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.  
Storesparetonercartridgesinacooldryplacewithoutremoving

POWER SAVE MODES  
The copier has two power save modes to reduce overall power consumption  
thereby reduce 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.  
G
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 46.  
Preheat mode  
When the copier enters the preheat mode, the POWER SAVE 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 to  
come to a ready condition or begin copying within 10 seconds after any key  
input or copier operation such as paper tray operation is performed.  
Auto power shut-off mode  
If the auto power shut-off mode is enabled, the copier will automatically turn  
off the power once a programmed length of time has elapsed without any  
copieroperationafterthelastcopyofarunismadeorthepowerisfirstturned  
on. The power switch will automatically be turned to the OFFposition.  
To turn the power back on, simply turn the power switch to the ON”  
position.  
G
If an optional printer expansion kit or facsimile expansion kit is installed  
and this mode is enabled, the POWER SAVE indicator will light up and  
all other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more  
power but requires a longer time to warm up before copying can begin.

USER MAINTENANCE  
Proper care is essential for clean, sharp copies. Please take a few minutes to

Original table and platen cover  
Stains or dirt on the original table or platen cover will  
also be copied. Wipe the original table and platen cover  
with a soft, clean cloth.

If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner,  
benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.

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.
