1. Note for servicing
Pictogram The label ( ) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the following: : Caution, risk of danger : Caution, hot surface
·poorly ventilated
A. Warning for servicing
·The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper. ·Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.
·exposed to direct sunlight
B. Cautions for servicing
·Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on. ·Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies. ·Place the machine on a firm, level surface. ·Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location. ·When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet. ·When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet. ·Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the machine. ·Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure. ·The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily accessible.
·subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.
C. Note for installation place
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved. Caution : If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the machine. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use. Do not install your machine in areas that are: ·damp, humid, or very dusty The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and disconnection. 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. Note : Connect the machine 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.

1.Installing conditions
A.Copier installation
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. ·Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.
2) Open the front cover. ·Hold the both sides and pull down to open.
3) Loosen the screw and remove the developer cartridge.
B.Power source
·Use an exclusive-use power outlet. If the power plug of this machine is inserted into a power outlet commonly used with other illumination units, flickers of the lamp may be result. Use a power outlet which is not used commonly with any illumination units. ·Avoid complex wiring.
C.Grounding wire connection.
·To avoid danger, be sure to connect a grounding wire. If no grounding wire is connected and a leakage occurs, a fire or an electric shock may be result. 4) Remove the developer tank from the developer cartridge.
2.Removal of protective material and fixing screw
1) Remove all tapes and protective material. ·Remove all tapes, then open the document cover and remove the protective material of sheet shape 2) Remove the fixing screw. ·Use a coin to remove the fixing screw. ·The fixing screw is required when transporting the machine. Keep it in the tray. (Refer to the later description.) 5) Supply developer into the developer tank while rotating the MG roller in the arrow direction.

* Shake the developer bag enough before opening it.
3.Installing procedure
A.Developer cartridge installation
1) Open the manual tray, and open the side cover.
Hook
Note: Check that the DV seal is free from developing agent. If developing agent is attached to the DV seal, clean it carefully. Check to insure that the hook is engaged in two positions. 6) Attach the developer tank to the developer cartridge. * After supplying developer into the developer cartridge, do not tilt or shake the developer cartridge. 7) Attach the developer cartridge to the copier, and fix it with the screw.

5. Changing the copy paper size in the tray
Note ·The paper size setting cannot be changed when the machine has stopped temporarily due to running out of paper or a misfeed, or during interrupt copying. ·During printing (even in copy mode), the paper size setting cannot be changed. ·5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper can only be selected in upper paper tray. ·Do not load paper that is a different size than the paper size setting. Copying will not be possible. 1) Hold down the [PAPER SIZE ENTER] key for more than 5 seconds to set the selected paper size. The currently selected paper feed location indicator will blink and the corresponding paper size (which is currently set) indicator will light steadily. All other indicators will go out.
4) Squeeze the lock lever of the front guide and slide the front guide to match the width of the paper, and move the left guide to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.
Left guide
Front guide
·The front guide is a slide-type guide. Grasp the locking knob on the guide and slide the guide to the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. ·The left guide is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. ·When using 11" x 17" sized paper store the left guide in the slot at the left front of the paper tray.

2.Copier adjustment
A.Process section
(1) Developing doctor gap adjustment
1) Loosen the developing doctor fixing screw A. 2) Insert a thickness gauge of 1.5mm to the three positions at 20mm and 130mm from the both ends of the developing doctor as shown.
(2) MG roller main pole position adjustment
1) Remove and separate the waste toner box and put the developing unit on a flat surface. 2) Tie a string to a needle or a pin. 3) Hold the string and bring the needle close to the MG roller horizontally. (Do not use paper clip, which is too heavy to make a correct adjustment.) (Put the developing unit horizontally for this adjustment.) 4) Do not bring the needle into contact with the MG roller, but bring it to a position 2 or 3mm apart from the MG roller. Mark the point on the MG roller which is on the extension line from the needle tip. 5) Measure the distance from the marking position to the top of the doctor plate of the developing unit to insure that it is 18mm. If the distance is not within the specified range, loosen the fixing screw A of the main pole adjustment plate, and move the adjustment plate in the arrow direction to adjust.
3) Push the developing doctor in the arrow direction, and tighten developing doctor fixing screw. (Perform the same procedure for front and the rear frames.) 4) Check the clearance of the developing doctor. If it is within specified range, then fix the doctor fixing screw with screw lock. * When inserting a thickness gauge, be careful not to scratch developing doctor and the MG roller.

Main Sub code code 01 01 Contents Mirror scanning operation Details of operation When the [START] key is pressed, the home position is checked in the first place, and the mirror base performs A3 full scanning once at the set magnification ratio speed. During this scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed. The mirror home position sensor status is displayed with the photoconductor cartridge replacement lamp. (The lamp lights up when the mirror is in the home position.) During scanning, the copy lamp lights up. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the operation is interrupted to go to the sub code input standby mode. Used to monitor the mirror home position sensor. When the sensor is ON, the photoconductor cartridge replacement lamp is lighted. During that time, the display section displays the sub code. When the [Interrupt] key is pressed, the machine goes to the sub code input standby mode. (When the CA key is pressed, the simulation is terminated.) When the [START] key is pressed, the mirror base performs A3 full scanning at the set magnification ratio speed. During scanning, the set magnification ratio is displayed.
