Safety Information
To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions. Do not do anything that is dangerous or not within the scope of this document. Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described in this manual. In addition to the descriptions below and those given in this manual, there are many situations and circumstances that are dangerous. Be aware of these when you are working with the printer.
Power Supply
Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the printer when the power is applied, be aware of the potential for electrical shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.
W A R N IN G
Do not touch any live part unless you are instructed to do so by a service procedure. The LVPS power supply switch/inlet part is live even when the power switch has been turned off. Do not touch any live part.
Mechanical Components
If you service a driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Then manually rotate the assembly.
W A R N IN G
Safety Components
The printer is equipped with safety components (e.g., interlock switches, fuses, thermostat) and safety switches for protecting users and service personnel from injury and the equipment from damage. The printer has two interlock switches, two safety switches and two interlock connectors that serve as the main safety mechanism.
Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the assembly (printer) is being driven.
Front Cover Switch R This switch is turned off when the Front Cover Assembly is opened. It cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply unit to stop all operations and disconnects the output (5VDCLD) circuit from the power supply and stops the laser beam emission. This switch consists of the following two switches:
A switch that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuits and related parts. A switch that directly cuts off the power supply circuit (5VDC-LD) to the laser beam output circuit.
Front Cover Switch L This is a safety switch. This switch is turned off when the Front Cover Assembly is opened, causing the printer without control units to stop operating. Top Cover Switch This is an interlock switch that directly cuts off the power supply (5VDC-LD) circuit to the laser beam output circuit. This switch is turned off when the Top Cover Assembly is removed, cutting off the output (5VDC-LD) circuit from the power supply unit and stopping the laser beam emission.
Exit Chute Switch This switch is a safety switch. This switch is turned off when the Exit Upper Assembly (the cover on the upper left side of the printer) is opened. P/J91 (Connector that connects the Main Harness Assembly and Registration Harness Assembly) This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts. This connector is disconnected when the Main P/H Assembly (pullout type unit on the right side of the printer) is pulled out, cutting off the output (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply and stopping the printer operation without control units. P/J71 (Connector that connects the Fuser Connector and Fuser Harness Assembly) This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts. This connector is disconnected when the Fuser Assembly (pull-out type unit on the left side of the printer) is pulled out, cutting off the output (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply and stopping the printer operation without control units.
Laser Beam
The printer has two interlock switches: the Front Cover Switch R and the Top Cover Switch. The purpose of these switches is to turn off the laser beam emission if any of the printer covers have been opened; this protects the user or service personnel from exposure to the laser beam from the ROS Assembly. A laser beam may be emitted during a maintenance operation. Do not turn on these interlock switches simultaneously under any circumstances except in a normal operation.
NOTE: The laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light). It has excellent monochromaticity and convergence. A thin laser beam reaches long distances. Because of its convergence characteristic, the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density and high temperature. A laser beam is harmful to the human body. NOTE: The laser beam in this printer is invisible.
W A R N IN G
Do not expose yourself to the laser beam to prevent injury (blindness). Do not open the cover that has the laser beam warning label. If you disassemble or assemble the printer, turn off the power. If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual. If you have to activate the printer while pressing the Front Cover Switch R by hand or with a tool, remove the Top Cover. (Do not turn on these interlock switches simultaneously under any circumstances except in a normal operation.) Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you.
High Temperature Assembly
To prevent you from becoming injured or burned, do the following: Before working with a high temperature Assembly (e.g., Fuser Assembly), turn off the power, unplug the power cord and wait until it cools down.
Parts
To prevent you from becoming injured, keep the following in mind:
When handling heavy parts (including the printer itself), use good posture to protect your back whenever you lift, move or place parts.
W A R N IN G
The high temperature Assembly is very hot immediately after any printer operations. Wait at least 40 minutes before you start working on the printer.
W A R N IN G
Do not lift, move or place heavy parts in a body posture that is likely to cause injury to yourself or cause the part to drop.
Be careful not to injure yourself with the sharp edges of the parts. Do not work with wet or oily hands-you may drop a part or injure yourself. Dry your hands first. When pulling out a part (including a harness), do not use too much force. Pull out the part carefully and slowly step by step.
Consumables
Some parts may cause a particulate explosion or fire if handled improperly. Do not handle these parts near fire or throw into a fire. Some materials (e.g., Developer or Fuser Oil) may cause bodily injury. Do not swallow or inhale these materials or allow them to come in contact with the eyes. Help to protect those around you and follow the prohibitions against swallowing or inhaling those materials. Be careful to protect the eyes at all times. Place a sheet inside or under the printer so that the floor or workbench is protected. If the Developer or Fuser Oil gets on your clothing, dry it with a cloth and wash with clean water.
Improper Printer Use
Modifying, revising, tampering with the printer, especially to the safety mechanism, is strictly prohibited in all circumstances.
NOTE: The printer has the following consumable parts:
