shock.
2) If there is any abnormality such as a smoke or an abnormal
smell, interrupt the job and disconnect the power plug.
It may cause a fire or an electric shock.
3) Be sure to connect the grounding wire. If an electric leakage
occurs without grounding, a fire or an electric shock may result.
For proper machine functionality, the machine must be
grounded.
4) When connecting the grounding wire, never connect it to the fol-
lowing points.
It may cause an explosion, a fire or an electric shock.

3. Note for installing site
Do not install the machine at the following sites.
1) Place of high temperature, high humidity, low temperature,
low humidity, place under an extreme change in tempera-
ture and humidity.
Paper may get damp and form moisture inside the machine,
causing paper jam or copy dirt.
For operating condition, refer to the specifications described
later.
2) Place with a lot of vibration
It may cause a breakdown.
3) Poorly ventilated place
An electro-static type copier will produce ozone inside it.
The quantity of ozone produced is designed to a low level so as
not to affect human bodies. However, continuous use of such a
machine may produce an odor of ozone. Install the machine in a
well ventilated place.
4) Place with direct sunlight.
Plastic parts and toner may be deformed, discolored, or may
undergo qualitative change.
It may cause a breakdown or copy quality issues.
5) Place which is full of organic gases such as ammonium
The organic photoconductor (OPC) drum used in the machine
may undergo qualitative change due to organic gases such as
ammonium.
Installation of this machine near a diazo-type copier may result
in copy quality issues.
6) Place with excessive dust
When dusts enter the machine, it may cause a breakdown or
copy quality issues.
7) Place near a wall
Some machines require intake and exhaust of air.
If intake and exhaust of air are not properly performed, copy dirt
or a breakdown may be a result.
8) Unstable or slant surface
If the machine drops or falls down, it may cause an injury or a
breakdown.
If there are optional paper desks and the copier desks specified,
it is recommendable to use them.
When using the optional desk, be sure to fix the adjuster and
lock the casters.
4. Note for handling PWB and electronic
parts

observe the following precautions in order to prevent against dam-
age by static electricity.
1) When in transit or storing, put the parts in an anti-static bag or
an anti-static case and do not touch them with bare hands.
2) When and after removing the parts from an anti-static bag
(case), use an earth band as shown below:
- Put an earth band to your arm, and connect it to the
machine.
- When repairing or replacing an electronic part, perform the
procedure on an anti-static mat.

5. Note for repairing/replacing the LSU

1. General
Each adjustment item in the adjustment item list is associated with a specific Job number. Perform the adjustment procedures in the sequence
of Job numbers from the smallest to the greatest.
However, there is no need to perform all the adjustment items. Perform only the necessary adjustments according to the need.
Unnecessary adjustments can be omitted. Even in this case, however, the sequence from the smallest to the greatest Job number must be
observed.
If the above precaution should be neglected, the adjustment would not complete normally or trouble may occur.

B.Operational descriptions
The toner transport screw in the toner cartridge is driven by the toner motor to supply toner to the developing unit.
The toner transport screw in the toner cartridge is turned ON/OFF by the toner motor. The toner density in the developing unit is detected by
the toner density sensor. When the density falls below the specified level, the toner motor is turned ON to supply toner in the toner cartridge to
the developing unit. When the toner density reaches the specified level, the toner motor turns OFF to stop supply of toner to the developing
unit. With the above process, the toner density in the developing unit is maintained at a fixed level.

 LEAD-FREE SOLDER
The PWB s of this model employs lead-free solder. The LF marks indicated on the PWBs and the Service Manual mean
Lead-Free solder. The alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

Example:

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread. Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a
breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40?C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the
exclusive-use soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220?C, which is about 40?C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its
soldering capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This
may cause land separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering
iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron
tip after com-pletion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
