Using the Copier Properly

To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below.

Never place a heavy object on the copier.

Never subject the copier to shocks.

Never open any doors or turn the copier off while the copier is making copies.

Never bring any magnetized object near the copier.

Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the copier.

Never modify the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.

Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The copier contains high voltage components

which can cause electrical shock.

Never tamper with the laser mechanism in laser-equipped models, as blindness or other injury may

result.

Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal through the vents or other openings in

the copier, as a fire or electrical shock can result.

Never place containers of liquid on the copier. If liquids get inside the copier, they can cause fire or

electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the copier, immediately turn the copieroff, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if

the copier remains plugged in or is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.

Never leave the copier running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smoke or an unusual odor or noise is

detected. Should any of these conditions occur, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord

and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the copier remains

plugged in under any of these conditions.

Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.

Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.

Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous copies.

Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when unplugging the power cord. A damaged

cord could result in a fire or cause an electrical shock.

Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an electrical shock.

Always unplug the power cord before moving the copier. Moving the copier with the power cordplugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an electrical shock.

Always unplug the power cord when the copier is not going to be used for a long time.

Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a fire or electrical shock can result.

Always ensure that the copier does not sit on or move onto the power cord or communications cable of

other electrical equipment, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.


3/94

Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other electrical equipment does not

become wedged into the copier mechanism, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.

Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can cause a fire or electrical shock.

Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock can result.

Should the power cord become damaged, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord andcall your technical representative. A damaged cord can result in a fire or cause an electric shock.

If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacity than the maximum power require-

ments of the copier. The use of an extension cord that falls short of supporting the maximum power

requirements can result in overheating or a fire

Always unplug the copier whenever anything unusual is observed during operation. Make sure that the

outlet is nearby and clear of the copier and furniture.

NOTE

=Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room=

A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this copier. An unpleasant odor

may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For a

comfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be wellventilated.

Remarque

=Placer le copieur dans une pice largement ventile=

Une quantit dozone ngligeble est dgage pendant le fonctionnement du copieur quand celui-ci est

utilis normalement. Cependant, une odeur dsagrable peut tre ressentie dans les pices dont

laration est insuffisante et lorsquune utilisation prolonge du copieur est effectue. Pour avoir la

certitude de travailler dans un environnment runissant des conditions de confort, sant et de scurit,

il est prfrable de bien arer la pice ou se trouve le copieur.

As an ENERGY STAR Partner, we have determined that this copiermeets the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency.

What is an Energy Star Copier ?

Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turn off or go to sleep after a

period of inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copiers annual

electricity costs by over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set to automatically make dou-

ble sided copies. An organizations paper costs can be reduced and the volume of paper sent into thewaste stream will decline. It takes 10 times more energy to produce a piece of paper than it does to make

a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper also means decreased national energy consumption.

Recycled Paper (USA market only)

Frequency Fluctuation: 50/60 Hz Within 0.3%

If any other electrical equipment is sourced from the same power outlet, make sure that the capacity of

the outlet is not exceeded.

The outlet should be located near the copier and easily accessible.

Never connect by means of a multiple socket any other appliances or machines to the outlet being used

for the copier.

If an extension cord is needed, use one with a capacity more than the power consumption of the copier.

Make sure that no unusual, excessive force is being applied to the power cord or extension cord.

Grounding

To prevent receiving electrical shocks in the case of electrical leakage, always ground the copier.

Connect the grounding wire to:

The ground terminal of the outlet.

Minimizing the Warm-up Time

Instead of turning the copier OFF, its a good idea to use the Energy Saver Mode. This mode will

minimize the time for the copier to complete the warm-up cycle to about 20 sec.

The Energy Saver Mode is automatically activated a given period of time after the copier has been used

last. The initial is 15 min.

Useful Tip

The time for the copier to enter the Energy Saver Mode can be selected from 1 to 98 min., or for 240

2. Toner Replenisher Function (Increasing the Image Density)

Even if you continue making copies after the image density has become lighter, the copier will gradually

recover the normal image density. The Toner Replenisher Mode can, however, be used to obtain the

normal image density more quickly.

NOTES

Do not turn the Power Switch OFF or open the Front or Right Door while the copier is replenishing

toner.

Toner is not replenished if the image density is sufficiently high.

The copier tends to exhaust the supply of toner

rapidly when making a number of copies from an

original with dark solid areas. As a result, the

image density of the copy will become lighter. In

such a case, you can use the Toner Replenisher

function to regain the normal image density

quickly.

Press the Auxiliary Toner Replenishing Key.

This causes the copier to initiate toner

replenishing, which lasts for 90 seconds atmaximum.
