  • Page 2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION AND SERVICE FOR THE COPIER The installation and service should be done by a qualified service technician. Transportation/Installation • When transporting/installing the copier, move it by the casters while lifting the stoppers. The copier is quite heavy and weighs approximately 250 kg (551 lb), therefore pay full attention when handling it.
  • Page 3 Disposition of Consumable Parts/Packing Materials • Regarding the recovery and disposal of the copier, supplies, consumable parts and packing materials, it is recommended to follow the relevant local regulations or rules. When parts are disassembled, reassembly is basically the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise noted in this manual or other related documents.
