AL-1226  UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION  5 - 1

Improper installation may damage the copier. Please note the following
during initial installation and whenever the copier is moved.

Caution: If the copier is moved from a cool place to a warm place,

condensation may form inside the copier. Operation in this
condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions.
Leave the copier at room temperature for at least 2 hours
before use.

Do not install your copier in areas that are:

• damp, humid, or very dusty

• exposed to direct sunlight

• poorly ventilated

• subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an

air conditioner or heater.

The copier should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy
connection.

Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets
the specified voltage and current requirements.

Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

Be careful in handling the copier as follows to maintain the perfor-
mance of this copier.

Do not drop the copier, subject it to shock or strike it against any
object.

Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight.

Doing so will damage the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge,
causing poor print quality.

Store spare supplies such as drum cartridges and TD cartridges in a
dark place without removing from the package before use.

If they are exposed to direct sunlight, poor print quality may result.

Do not touch the surface (green portion) of the drum cartridge.

Doing so will damage the surface of the cartridge, causing poor print
quality.

Open the carton and check if the following components and accesso-
ries are included.

AL-1226  UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION  5 - 2

Be sure to hold the handles on both sides of the copier to unpack the
copier and carry it to the installation location.

1) Remove pieces of tape and protective cover. Then open the origi-

nal cover and remove protective materials (a) and (b).

2) Release the scan head locking switch.

The TD cartridge replacement required (

) indicator will light up

when toner is needed. If copying is continued while the 

 indicator is

lit, copies will gradually become lighter until the copier stops and the
indicator begins blinking. Replace the old TD cartridge by following the
procedure given below.

Note:

• After the copier stops, it may be possible to make a few more copies

by taking the TD cartridge out of the copier, shaking it horizontally,
then reinstalling it. If copying is not possible after this operation,
replace the TD cartridge.

• During long copy run of a dark original, the ready (

) indicator may

blink, the 

 indicator may light up, and the copier may stop, even

though toner cartridge is not empty. The copier will feed toner up to 2
minutes and then the ready (

) indicator will light up. Press the

print (

) key to restart copying.

1) Ensure that the bypass tray is open and then open the side cover

by pressing the open button on the side cover.

2) Remove the CAUTION tape from the front cover and remove the

two protective pins from the fusing unit by pulling the strings
upward one at a time.

3) Push gently on both sides of the front cover to open the cover.

4) Remove the TD cartridge from the bag. Remove the protective

paper. Hold the cartridge on both sides and shake it horizontally
four or five times.
