Precautions

Laser Unit

1. Do not loosen or adjust the screws securing the LD drive board on the LD unit. This will put
the LD unit out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit. These are adjusted at the factory.
3. The polygonal mirror and F-theta lens are very sensitive to dust.
4. Do not touch the toner shield glass or the surface of the polygonal mirror with bare hands.

Fusing Unit

1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot roller and
that the roller can rotate freely.
2. Be careful to avoid damage to the hot roller stripper pawls and their tension springs.
3. Do not touch the fusing lamp and rollers with bare hands.
4. Make sure that the fusing lamp is positioned correctly and that it does not touch the inner
surface of the hot roller.

Paper Feed

1. Do not touch the surface of the paper feed rollers.
2. To avoid misfeeds, the side and end fences in each paper tray must be positioned correctly
so as to align with the actual paper size.

4.1.2 LITHIUM BATTERIES

Incorrect replacement of lithium battery(s) on the controller or on the fax unit poses risk
