5. Precautions for the Laser Beam (Only for Products Employing a Laser) • Removing the cover marked with the following caution label could lead to possi- ble exposure to the laser beam, resulting in eye damage or blindness. Be sure to unplug the power cord before removing this cover.
Other Precautions • To reassemble the product, reverse the order of disassembly unless otherwise specified. • While the product is energized, do not unplug or plug connectors into the circuit boards or harnesses. • The magnet roller generates a strong magnetic field. Do not bring it near a watch, floppy disk, magnetic card, or CRT tube.
Used Batteries Precautions ALL Areas CAUTION Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Germany VORSICHT! Explosionsgefahr bei unsachgemäßem Austausch der Batterie. Ersatz nur durch denselben oder einen vom Hersteller empfohlenen ähnlichen Typ.

INTRODUCTION 1-1. General Precautions 1. When servicing the copier with its covers removed, use utmost care to prevent your hands, clothing, and tools from being caught in revolving parts including the chains and gears. When servicing the copier with the Rear Cover removed, be sure to fit the inter- lock switch actuating jig in position.
I/O CHECK 2-1. Controlled Parts Check Procedure To allow the Tech. Rep. to easily and safely determine whether a particular controlled part is fully operational, this copier provides the following provision: checking the data of the input port of the board IC with the copier in the standby state (including a misfeed, malfunc- tion, and closure failure condition) allows the Tech.

If a communications error occurs between UN2 and PWB-A during a copy cycle, it forces a paper misfeed condition ( displayed on the Touch Panel). If that happens, check the circuit between UN2 and PWB-A for proper connection and, if it is intact, replace the board.
3-2. Size Error The following warning screen appears after a misfeed display has been reset if the actual size of the paper loaded in a paper source differs from the paper size set for that particular paper source. [1st to 5th Drawer] [Manual Bypass] 1171T009CA 1171T010CA...
3-4. Types of Misfeed Detection and Detection Timings • The following are the types of misfeed detection and detection timings for different mis- feed locations. NOTE For misfeed detection types and detection timings of options, see the relevant option ser- vice manual.
