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 per-
formance 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 ac-
cessories are included.

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

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

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

2) Use a coin (or suitable object) to remove the screw.

Store the screw in the paper tray because it will be used if
the copier has to be moved.

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 light up, and the
copier stop, even though toner is left. 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 while pressing the side cover open button.

2) Remove the CAUTION tape from the front cover and

remove the two protective pins from the fusing unit by pull-
ing 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 protec-

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

5) Hold the tab of the protective cover and pull the tab to

remove the cover.

6) Gently insert the TD cartridge until it locks in place.

7) Close the front cover and then the side cover by pressing

the round projections near the side cover open button. The
   indicator will go out and the ready (   ) indicator will
light up.

Note: When closing the covers, be sure to close the front

cover securely and then close the side cover. If the
covers are closed in the wrong order, the covers may be
damaged.

Note: This copier is equipped with two paper trays. Load copy

paper into the two paper trays.

1) Raise the handle of the paper tray and pull the paper tray

out until it stops.

2) Remove the pressure plate lock. Rotate the pressure plate

lock in the direction of the arrow to remove it while pressing
down the pressure plate of the paper tray.

3) Store the pressure plate lock which has been removed in

step 2 and the screw which has been removed when un-
packing (see page 4-2, step 2 of REMOVING PROTEC-
TIVE PACKING MATERIALS) in the front of the paper tray.
To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to fix it on
the relevant location.

4) Adjust the paper guides on the paper tray to the copy paper

width and length.
Squeeze the lever of paper guide (A) and slide the guide to
match with the width of the paper.
Move paper guide (B) to the appropriate slot as marked on
the tray.

5) Fan the copy paper and insert it into the tray. Make sure the

edges go under the corner hooks.

Note: Do not load paper above the maximum height line (    ).

Exceeding the line will cause a paper misfeed.

6) Gently push the paper tray back into the copier.
Note: After loading copy paper, to cancel the blinking “P”

without restarting copying, press the clear (   ) key.
The “P” in the display will go out and the ready (    ) in-
dicator will light up.
