To get maximum versatility from this machine all operators should carefully read and follow the instructions in this manual. Please keep this manual in a handy place near the machine. Please read the Safety Information in the Copy Reference before using this machine. It contains important information related to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. Notes Some illustrations may be slightly different from your machine. Certain options may not be available in some countries. For details, please contact your local dealer. Operator Safety This machine is considered a CDRH class I laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The machine contains a 5-milliwatt, 760-800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected ) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator. Laser Safety: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical unit in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement or the optical subsystem is required. Warning: Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure. Notes: The model names of the machines do not appear in the following pages. Check the type of your machine before reading this manual. (For details, see P.iv "Machine Types".) · · Type 1: 15 copies/minute (A4K, 81/2" × 11"K) Type 2: 18 copies/minute (A4K, 81/2" × 11"K) Certain types might not be available in some countries. For details, please contact your local dealer. Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the inch version. For good copy quality, the supplier recommends that you use genuine toner from the supplier. The supplier shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of parts other than genuine parts from the supplier with your office products. Power Source 120V, 60Hz, 12A or more Please be sure to connect the power cord to a power source as above. For details about power source, see P.69 "Power Connection". In accordance with IEC 60417, this machine uses the following symbols for the main power switch: a means POWER ON. c means STAND BY.

See P.31 "Copying from the Bypass Tray". Important If you use damp or curled paper, a misfeed might occur. In such a case, try turning over the paper stack in the paper tray. If there is no improvement, change to copy paper with less curl. 14 Copy Paper Note When you use the bypass tray, it is recommended to set the copy paper direction to L. Postcards should be fed from the bypass tray. If you load paper of the same size and in the same direction in two or more trays, the machine automatically shifts to another tray when the tray in use runs out of paper. This function is called Auto Tray Switch. This saves interrupting a copy run to replenish paper even when you make a large number of copies. You can cancel this setting. See "10Auto Tray Switch" of the System Settings manual. Reference If you want to add paper, see P.47 "B Loading Paper". 1 If you want to change the paper size, see P.54 "Changing the Paper Size". Non-recommended Paper R CAUTION: · Do not use aluminum foil, carbon paper, or similar conductive paper to avoid a fire or equipment failure. Important Do not use any of the following kinds of paper or a fault might occur. · Thermal fax paper · Art paper · Aluminum foil · Carbon paper · Conductive paper Do not use copy paper that has been already copied on. Otherwise, a paper misfeed might occur. Note Do not use any of the following kinds of paper or a misfeed might occur. · Bent, folded, or creased paper · Torn paper · Slippery paper · Perforated paper · Rough paper · Thin paper that has low stiffness · Paper with much paper dust on its surface If you make copies on rough grain paper, the copy image might be blurred. Do not use paper which has been copied or printed on. 15 Basics Paper Storage 1 Note When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed: · Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. · Avoid storing paper in humid areas (humidity: 70% or less). · Store on a flat surface. Keep open reams of papers in the package, and store as you would unopened paper.
