Introduction
WARNING

• Do not modify this product: Fire, electrical shock, or breakdown could result. If the product employs
a laser, the laser beam source could cause blindness.
• Do not attempt to remove the covers and panels which have been fixed to the product. Some products have a high-voltage part or a laser beam source inside that could cause an electrical shock
or blindness.
• Use only the power cord supplied in the package. Failure to use this cord could result in fire or
electrical shock.
• Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do so could result in fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use a multiple outlet adapter to connect any other appliances or machines. Use of a power
outlet for more than the marked current value could result in fire or electrical shock.
Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with a wet hand: An electrical shock could result.

Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do so could result in fire or electrical
shock.

• Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist, bend, pull on, or damage the power
cord. Use of a damaged power cord (exposed core wire, broken wire, etc.) could result in fire or
breakdown.
Should any of these conditions be found, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the
power cord from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service representative.
• In principle, do not use an extension cord. Use of an extension cord could cause fire or electrical
shock. Contact your authorized service representative if an extension cord is required.

objects on this product. Spilled water or metallic objects dropped inside the product could result in
fire, electrical shock, or break-down.
Should a piece of metal, water, or any other similar foreign matter get inside the product, immediately
turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service representative.
• If this product becomes inordinately hot or emits smoke, or emits an unusual odor or noise, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your
authorized service representative. If you keep on using it as is, fire or electrical shock could result.
• If this product has been dropped or its cover damaged, immediately turn OFF the power switch,
unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service representative.
If you keep on using it as is, fire or electrical shock could result.

Introduction
Laser Safety

This is a digital machine which operates using a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the
laser provided the machine is operated according to the instructions in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housing, the laser
beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product: This means the machine does not produce
hazardous laser radiation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiation Power: 26.4 µW at the laser aperture of the print head unit.
Wavelength: 770-795 nm
This product employs a Class 3b laser diode that emits an invisible laser beam.
The laser diode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the print head unit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.

Introduction

Laser Aperture of the
Print Head Unit

There is a laser aperture at the location shown above, which must, however, NEVER be viewed
directly by the user.
CDRH Regulation
This machine is certified as a Class 1 Laser product under Radiation Performance Standard
according to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1990. Compliance is mandatory for Laser
products marketed in the United States and is reported to the Center for Devices and
Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS). This means that the device does not produce
hazardous laser radiation.
The label shown on page 1-9 indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be
attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this
manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is 5 mW and the
wavelength is 770-795 nm.

Ozone Release
NOTE
= Locate the Machine in a Well Ventilated Room =
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this machine. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive machine
operations. For a comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended
that the room is well ventilated.
REMARQUE
= Placer l’appareil dans une pièce largement ventilée =
Une quantité d'ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement de l’appareil quand
celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans
les pièces dont l'aération est insuffisante et lorsque une utilisation prolongée de l’appareil est
effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un environnement réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve l’appareil.

Loading Originals

Loading Originals in the Automatic Document Feeder
The Automatic Document Feeder automatically feeds originals one page after another and lets
the copier scan the data on each original. After the copier completes scanning the data, the
Automatic Document Feeder ejects it into its tray. To ensure the best possible performance of
the Automatic Document Feeder, use only originals of the appropriate type.
Precautions for Using the Automatic Document Feeder
The following types of originals are not suitable for use in the Automatic Document Feeder, as
a misfeed or damaged original could result. Place these types of originals on the Platen Glass.
G

Typing paper, paraffin paper, and other thin paper

Cards

Originals larger than 11×17L or smaller than 5-1/2×8-1/2

OHP transparencies, translucent paper

Wrinkled, dog-eared, curled, or torn originals

Clipped or stapled originals

Coated originals such as carbon-backed paper

✎
Note
When the originals are loaded into the Automatic Document Feeder, the original sizes that
can be detected in the Auto Paper mode are 11”×17”, 8.5”×14”, 8.5”×11”L, 8.5”×11”,
5.5”×8.5”L. The copier may not be able to detect, or may detect another or irregular size.

The copier tends to exhaust the supply of toner rapidly when making a number of copies from
an original with dark solid areas, such as a photo. As a result, the image density of the copy
will become lighter. In such a case, you can use Toner Replenisher to quickly restore the
normal image density.

✎
Note
Do not turn the Power Switch OFF or open the Front Cover while the copier is replenishing
toner.
Toner will not be replenished if the image density is sufficiently high.
The toner replenisher sequence ends automatically.
