Before You Start Using This Machine This chapter describes what you should know before using this machine, such as main features, parts and their functions, how to turn ON the main power, and so on. Installation, Location, and Handling ......... 1-2 Installation Precautions .
Installation, Location, and Handling This section describes precautions for installation location and handling. We recommend that you read this section prior to use. Installation Precautions Avoid Installing the Machine in the Following Locations I Avoid locations which are subject to extreme temperature and humidity, whether low or high.
Page 26
I Avoid poorly ventilated locations. This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may be more noticeable during extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms.
Page 27
I Avoid exposing the machine to rapid changes in temperature. If the room in which the machine is installed is cold but rapidly heated, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the machine. This may result in a noticeable degradation in the quality of the copied image, the inability to properly scan an original, or the copies having no printed image at all.
Select a Safe Power Supply I Insert the power plug into a 120 V AC outlet. I Make sure that the power supply for the machine is safe, and has a steady voltage. I Do not connect the power cords of other electrical equipment into the same outlet to which the machine is connected.
Provide Adequate Installation Space I Provide enough space on each side of the machine for unrestricted operation. NOTE Be sure to provide enough space also at the top of the machine in order to open the feeder. Installation, Location, and Handling 4"...
Moving the Machine I Be sure to unplug the power cord and disconnect all the other connection cables before moving the machine. Failure to do so may damage the power cord and may result in a fire or electric shock. I When carrying the machine, be sure to hold the parts indicated below.
Page 31
I Some parts inside the machine are subject to high-voltages and temperatures. Take adequate precautions when inspecting the inside of the machine. Do not carry out any inspections not described in this manual. I Be careful not to drop any foreign objects, such as paper clips or staples, inside the machine.
Page 32
I This machine generates a slight amount of ozone during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone may be more noticeable during extended use or long production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room be appropriately ventilated, sufficient to maintain a comfortable working environment, in areas of machine operation.

Close the left cover of the stack bypass. CAUTION When closing the left cover, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury. Close the left cover until it latches. If the cover is not fully closed, the printout might come out lighter.
Replacing the Stamp Cartridge You can print a stamp on the documents that you sent via the feeder. If the stamp becomes faint or no stamp is printed, replace the stamp cartridge with a new one. Open the feeder cover, then open the inner cover by holding the green handle toward you.
Page 144
Using the tweezers, insert a new stamp cartridge into the feeder until a "click" is heard. IMPORTANT Set the stamp cartridge so that the two projections on the cartridge are aligned with the hollows on the feeder. Be careful that the stamping surface of the stamp cartridge does not protrude. Incorrect installation of the stamp cartridge may cause a paper jam.
Routine Cleaning If the original is not copied clearly, clean the following parts of the machine. For high quality output, we recommend cleaning these parts once a month. Platen Glass Underside of the Feeder Feeder Scanning Area Roller WARNING When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch and disconnect the power cord.
Clean the platen glass and the platen glass cover with a cloth dampened with water, and wipe them with a soft and dry cloth. Feeder Cleaning When scanning the original using the feeder, some streaked lines which do not exist on the original may appear on the output. If your originals have black streaks or appear dirty after copying them using the feeder, this may be caused by pencil writing rubbing off the originals and onto the roller.
Page 147
Open the feeder cover. Clean the rollers (total of two places), separator, and transparent plastic plate inside the feeder cover, with a cloth slightly dampened with water. Rollers CAUTION Do not dampen the cloth too much, as this may damage the original or break the machine.
