ImportantDo not turn the power off whilethe On indicator is lit or blinking.Doing so may damage the memo-ry.Before unplugging the power cordor turning off the main powerswitch, make sure remainingmemory space is at 100%, asshown on the display. See p.12“Turning Off the Power” and“Turning Off the Main Power”.

• When you use this machine for along time in a confined space with-out good ventilation, you may de-tect an odd smell. To keep theworkplace comfortable, we recom-mend that you keep it well venti-lated.

• Do not touch areas on or aroundthe fusing unit. These areas get hot.

• After making copies continuously,the exposure glass may becomewarm—this is not a malfunction.

• The area around the ventilationhole might feel warm. This iscaused by exhaust air and is not amalfunction.

• When the machine is not in useand in stand-by mode, you mayhear a small noise inside. This iscaused by the image stabilizationprocess and is not a malfunction.

• Do not turn off the operationswitch while copying or printing.Make sure all copying or printinghas finished first.

• The machine might not producegood copy images if condensationforms inside as a result of rapidtemperature change.

• Do not open the covers of the ma-chine while copying or printing. Ifyou do, misfeeds might occur.

• Do not move the machine duringcopying or printing.

• If you operate the machine im-properly or a machine failure oc-curs, settings might be lost. Be sureto make a note of your machinesettings.

• The manufacturer shall not be lia-ble for any loss or damage result-ing from mechanical failure, loss ofsettings, or use of the machine.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the ma-chine, you should take care that the power cord will not be dam-aged under the machine.

Where to Put Your Machine

Machine Environment

Choose your machine's location care-fully. Environmental conditionsgreatly affect its performance.

Optimum environmental conditions

R CAUTION:

R CAUTION:

• Temperature: 10-32 °C (50-89.6 °F)(humidity to be 54% at 32 °C, 89.6°F)

• Humidity: 15-80% (temperature tobe 27 °C, 80.6 °F at 80%)

• A strong and level base.• The machine must be level within

5 mm, 0.2 inches: both front to rear,and left to right.

• To avoid possible buildup ofozone, be sure to locate this ma-chine in a large well ventilatedroom that has an air turnover ofmore than 30 m3/hr/person.

Environments to avoid

• Locations exposed to direct sun-light or other sources of stronglight (more than 1,500 lux).

• Locations directly exposed to coolair from an air conditioner or heat-ed air from a heater. (Sudden tem-pera ture changes can causecondensation to form inside themachine.)

• Locations close to machines gener-ating ammonia, such as a diazocopy machine.

• Places where the machine will besubject to frequent strong vibra-tion.

• Dusty areas.• Areas with corrosive gases.

• Keep the machine away from hu-midity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.

• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it top-ples over, an injury might occur.

• If you use the machine in a con-fined space, make sure there is a continuous air turnover.

Moving

R CAUTION:

R CAUTION:

ImportantBe careful when moving the ma-chine. Take the following precau-tions:• Turn off the main power. See

p.12 “Turning Off the MainPower”.

• Unplug the power cord fromthe wall outlet. When you pullout the plug from the socket,grip the plug to avoid damag-ing the cord, thereby reducingthe risk of fire or electric shock.

• Close all covers and trays, in-cluding the front cover and by-pass tray.

Do not take off the holding stand.Protect the machine from strongshocks. Impact can damage thememory.

Power Connection

R WARNING:

R CAUTION:

R CAUTION:

• When the main power switch is inthe stand-by position, the optionalanti-condensation heaters are on.In an emergency, unplug the ma-chine's power cord.

• When you unplug the power cord,the anti-condensation heaters turnoff.

• Make sure the plug is insertedfirmly in the wall outlet.

• Voltage must not fluctuate bymore than 10%.

• The wall outlet shall be installednear the machine and shall be eas-ily accessible.


• When the paper tray unit is in-stalled, do not push the upper part of the main unit horizontally. An injury might occur if the paper tray unit becomes detached from the main unit.

• Connect the machine only to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual. Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy ob-jects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more than neces-sary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.


• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

Maintaining Your Machine

If the exposure glass, or ADF belt isdirty, copy clarity may be reduced.Clean these parts if they are dirty.

Cleaning the machineWipe the machine with a soft,damp cloth. Then wipe it with adry cloth to remove the water.

ImportantDo not use chemical cleaner or or-ganic solvents such as thinner orbenzene. If such substances get in-side the machine or melt plasticparts, a failure might occur.Do not clean parts other than thoseexplicitly specified in this manual.Other parts should only be cleanedby your service representative.

Preset Reduce/Enlarge• You can select one of 5 preset ratios (2 enlargement ratios, 3 reduction ra-

tios).• You can select a ratio regardless of the size of an original or copy paper.

With some ratios, parts of the image might not be copied or margins willappear on copies.

• Copies can be reduced or enlarged as follows:

Combine• When using this function, the machine selects the reproduction ratio auto-

matically. This reproduction ratio depends on original sizes, if specified, orcopy paper sizes.

• If the calculated ratio is under the minimum ratio, it is automatically ad-justed to within available range. However, with some ratios, parts of theimage might not be copied.

• You cannot use custom size paper of 14.01 inch in length, or larger.• If the orientation of originals is different from that of the copy paper, the

machine will automatically rotate the image by 90° to make copies proper-ly.

• If the number of originals placed is less than the number specified for com-bining, the last page segment is left blank as shown.

Duplex Margin• If you set a binding margin that is too wide, part of the image may not be

copied.• When making copies using the Combine function, the binding margin is

added to the copies when combining is finished.
