• Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent
edges.
• Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
• When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and
the guide, and check if the guide is not set too narrow causing the
paper to bend. Loading paper in these ways will result in document
skew or a paper jam.
• When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from
the paper tray and store it in a dry place. If paper is left in the unit for
an extended period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air,
resulting in paper jams.
• When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper
already contained in the tray. Placing new paper on top of the paper
already contained in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one
time.
• If output paper curls, it may help to turn the paper over when loading it
in the tray.

MAKING COPIES
This chapter explains basic and other copying functions.
The unit is equipped with a one-page memory buffer. This memory allows the unit to
scan an original once only and make up to 99 copies. This feature improves
workflow, reduces operation noise from the copier, and provides higher reliability by
reducing wear and tear on the scanning mechanism.

ORIGINAL PLACEMENT
Using the document glass
• The document glass can read up to A4 original.
• Image loss 4mm can occur at the leading and trailing edges of the
copies. Also image loss 4.5mm in total can occur along the other
edges of the copies.
• When copying a book or an original which has been folded or a
crumpled original, press down the original cover/SPF lightly. If the
original cover/SPF is not securely closed, the copies may be striped or
blurred.
5
• When using the document glass to scan an original, make sure that an
original is not placed in the SPF (AL-2040).
Open the original cover/SPF, and place the original.
1
Place an original face down on the document glass. Align it with the
original scale and the centering ( ) mark. Gently close the original
cover/SPF.
2
After placing the original, be sure to close the SPF. If left open, parts outside of
the original will be copied black, causing excessive use of toner. In addition,
toner may scatter inside the machine or the drum cartridge may suffer damage.

weighting from 56g/m to 90g/m .
• Before feeding originals in the document feeder tray, be sure to
remove any staples or paper clips from them.
• Before placing curled or wavy originals into the document feeder tray,
be sure to flatten them. If not, original misfeeds may result.
• If the original is placed correctly in the SPF, the SPF indicator will light
up. If the original is not placed correctly, the SPF indicator will not
light. If the SPF is not closed correctly, the indicator will blink.
• Badly damaged originals may misfeed in the SPF. It is recommended
that such originals be copied from the document glass.
• Special originals such as transparency film should not be fed through
the SPF, but should be placed directly on the document glass.
• Image loss (max. 4mm) can occur at the leading and trailing edges of
the copies. Also image loss (max. 4.5mm in total) can occur along the
other edges of the copies. It can be 6mm (max.) at the trailing edge of
the second copy of two-sided copying.
• To stop continuous copying using the SPF, press the clear key.
• Copying using one-sided to one-sided mode:
Ensure that no indicator is lit among the original to copy indicators.

press the start ( ) key. Then make desired copier selections and press the start
(
) key using the normal copying procedure.
Auto clear
The unit returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the end of job.

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.

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.

MSDS No. F-31231
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.
