Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
If the floor is delicate against casters, when this machine is moved after installation, the floor material may be
damaged.
During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one’s health. If,
however, the machine is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when making an
extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment
for copy work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.
Power supply/Grounding the machine
WARNING
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the
same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.
Plug the power cord securely into the mains power outlet and the power socket on the machine. A
buildup of dust around the prongs on the plug or contact between the prongs and metallic objects may
cause a fire or electric shock. Incomplete electrical contact could cause overheating and ignition.
Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact your service
representative.
Other precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is located/installed
near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Handling of plastic bags
WARNING
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from children. The plastic may cling to their
nose and mouth causing suffocation.
Precautions for Use
Cautions when using the machine
WARNING
Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near
the machine. This type of situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside.
Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a danger of electrical shock from high
voltage parts inside the machine.
Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the cord,
pull it unnecessarily or cause any other type of damage. These types of situations present a danger
of fire or electrical shock.
Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts as there is a danger of personal injury,
fire, electrical shock or exposure to the laser. If the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing
blindness.
If the machine becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the machine, there is an odd smell, or
any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the main power
switch off immediately, be absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the outlet and then contact
your service representative.
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the machine, turn the main power
switch off immediately. Next, remove the power plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock. Then contact your service representative.
Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock.
Always contact your service representative for maintenance or repair of internal parts.
Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may
become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug when
removing the power cord from the outlet.)
Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the machine. If the power cord is
damaged, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock.
Always hold the designated parts only when lifting or moving the machine.
If this machine will be left unused for an extended period (e.g. overnight), turn it off at the main power
switch. If the machine will not be used for an even longer period of time (e.g. vacation), remove the
power plug from the outlet as a safety precaution. If the optional Fax kit is installed, note that turning
the machine off at the main power switch disables fax transmission and reception.
For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the outlet when performing cleaning
operations.
If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire or other trouble. It is therefore
recommended that you consult with your service representative in regard to cleaning of internal parts.
This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of high humidity. Consult with your
service representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the machine.
Other precautions
Do not place heavy objects on the machine or cause other damage to the machine.
Do not open the front cover, turn off the main power switch, or pull out the power plug during copying.
When lifting or moving the machine, contact your service representative.
Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit boards. They could be damaged by static
electricity.
Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this guide.
Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not look directly at the light from the scanning lamp as it may cause your eyes to feel tired or painful.
This machine can be installed an HDD (hard disk drive) as an optional device. Do not attempt to move the
machine while the power is still on. Since any resulting shock or vibration may cause damage to the hard disk,
be sure to turn off the power before attempting to move the machine.
In the event there is a problem with the machine’s HDD (hard disk drive), stored data may be erased. It is
recommended that important data be backed up on a PC or other media. Be also sure to store originals of
important documents separately.

SAFETY OF LASER BEAM
1. Safety of laser beam
This machine has been certified by the manufacturer to Class 1 level under the radiation performance
standards established by the U.S.DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services) in 1968. This
indicates that the product is safe to use during normal operation and maintenance. The laser optical
system, enclosed in a protective housing and sealed within the external covers, never permits the laser
beam to escape.
2. The CDRH Act
A laser-product-related act was implemented on Aug. 2, 1976, by the Center for Devices and Radiological
Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This act prohibits the sale of laser products in
the U.S. without certification, and applies to laser products manufactured after Aug. 1, 1976. The label shown
below indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be attached to laser products marketed in the
United States. On this machine, the label is on the right.
3. Optical unit
When checking the optical unit, avoid direct exposure to the laser beam, which is invisible. Shown at below is
the label located on the cover of the optical unit.
4. Maintenance

Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in a cassette (18 ppm model) or the two cassettes (22 ppm model) and the MP
tray. A paper feeder is also available as an option (refer to Optional Equipment on Appendix-2).
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets
to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following
steps.
1
Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in the
middle.
2
Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it while
keeping the entire stack swelled.
3
Raise the right and left hands alternately to create
a gap and feed air between the papers.
4
Finally, align the papers on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before
loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a
jam.
CAUTION: If you copy onto used paper (paper already
used for copying), do not use paper that is stapled or
clipped together. This may damage the machine or
cause poor image quality.
NOTE: If printouts are curled or not neatly stapled,
turn the stack in the cassette upside down.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures
and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of
problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading
in the MP tray or cassettes back in the paper
storage bag.
If the machine will not be used for a prolonged
period, protect all paper from humidity by removing
it from the cassettes and sealing it in the paper
storage bag.
NOTE: If you use special paper such as letterhead,
paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or
company name, refer to the Paper on Appendix-10.
