Supplies and user maintenance

Proper care is essential in order to get clean, sharp copies. Be sure to take a few minutes to
regularly clean the copier.

Before cleaning, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.

Do not use thinner, benzene or other volatile cleaning agents. Doing so may
cause deformation, discoloration, deterioration or malfunction.

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth.

Stains on the glass, cover or RSPF roller will also be copied. Wipe the glass, cover and RSPF
roller with a soft, clean cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth with a glass cleaner.

Take the charger cleaner out by holding the tab.
Set the charger cleaner onto the right end of the transfer charger, gently slide the
cleaner to the left end, and then remove it. Repeat this operation two or three times.

the transfer charger. If the cleaner is stopped on the way, smudges on copies
may occur.

Copier trouble?

This chapter describes misfeed removal and troubleshooting.

When the misfeed (

) indicator blinks or 

 blinks in the display, the copier will stop because

of a misfeed.
If a misfeed occurs when using the RSPF, a number may appear in the display after a minus
sign. This indicates the number of the originals that must be returned to the document feeder
tray after a misfeed. Return the required number of originals. Then this number will disappear
when copying is resumed or the clear (

) key is pressed.

When the RSPF misfeeds an original sheet, the copier will stop and the RSPF misfeed ( )
indicator will blink, while the misfeed (

) indicator will remain off. For a misfeed of originals in

the RSPF, see “D Misfeed in the RSPF” on page 32.

Ensure that the bypass tray is open and then open the side cover while pressing the
side cover open button.

Check the misfeed location. Remove the misfed paper following the instructions for
each location in the illustration below.
If 

 blinks in the display, proceed to “A  Misfeed in the paper feed area”. (p. 30)

If paper is misfed here, proceed to "A 
Misfeed in the paper feed area". (p. 30)

If paper is misfed here, proceed to "B 
Misfeed in the fusing area". (p. 30)

If the misfed paper is seen from 
this side, proceed to "C  Misfeed 
in the transport area". (p. 31)

Copier trouble?

Gently remove the misfed paper from the paper feed area as shown in the illustration.
When 

 blinks in the display and the misfed paper is not seen from the paper feed

area, pull out the paper tray and remove the misfed paper. If the paper cannot be
removed, proceed to “B  Misfeed in the fusing area”.

The fusing unit is hot. Do not touch the fusing unit when removing misfed
paper. Doing so may cause a burn or other injury.

●

Do not touch the surface of the drum (green portion) of the drum cartridge
when removing the misfed paper. Doing so may damage the drum and cause
smudges on copies.

●

If the paper has been fed through the bypass tray, do not remove the misfed
paper through the bypass tray. Toner on the paper may stain the paper
transport area, resulting in smudges on copies.

Close the side cover by pressing the round projections near the side cover open button.
The misfeed (

) indicator will go out and the ready (

) indicator will light up.

Lower the fusing unit release lever by rotating it all the way as shown in the illustration.

Fusing unit release lever

            

Gently remove the misfed paper from under the fusing unit as shown in the illustration.
If the paper cannot be removed, proceed to “C  Misfeed in the transport area”.

The fusing unit is hot. Do not touch the fusing unit when removing misfed
paper. Doing so may cause a burn or other injury.

While you are lowering the fusing unit release lever, it will not move smoothly at
a location on the way. However, be sure to lower the lever by rotating it all the
way to the location where it will not rotate as shown in the right illustration.
