Machine Environment, Installation and Transportation -i

Operational environment
Temperature: 10 to 35 degree C
Humidity: 20 to 85% RH
Atmospheric pressure: 590 to 1013hPa (altitude: 0 to 2000 m)

(2)Contaminates
If dust enters the machine, it may cause dirty copy and a paper jam,
resulting in a shortened lifetime.

(3)Direct sunlight
If the machine is installed in direct sunlight, the exterior of the machine
may be discolored and abnormal copies may be produced.

(4)Gases and chemicals

Do not install the machine at a place where there are gases and chem-
icals. Especially be careful to avoid installation near a diazo-type
copier, which produces ammonium gas.
Copy quality may be adversely affected and machine problems may
arise.

(5)Vibration
Avoid installation near a machine which produces vibrations.
If vibrations are applied to the copier machine, copy images may be
deflected and a trouble may be caused.

F.Note for handling PWB and electronic parts

When handling the PWB and the electronic parts, be sure to observe
the following precautions in order to prevent against damage by static
electricity.
- 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.
- 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 proce-
dure on an anti-static mat.

1. Installing conditions 3.Installing procedure
A.The machine installation A.Developer cartridge installation
Do not install your the machine in areas that are: 1) Open the bypass tray, and open the side cover.
-damp, humid, or very dusty 2) Open the front cover.
-exposed to direct sunlight 2
-poorly ventilated
-subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
-Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

B.Power source
-Use an exclusive to dedicated power outlet. If the power plug of this
machine is inserted into a power outlet commonly used with other
illumination units, flickers of the lamp may be result. Use a power outlet
which is not used commonly with any illumination units.
-Avoid complex wiring.

C.Grounding wire connection. 3) Remove the screw fixing the developer cartridge and disconnect the
harness of the developer.
-To avoid danger, the power outlet must be grounded. If no grounding
wire is connected and a leakage occurs, a fire or an electric shock may
be result.

2. Removal of protective material and fixing

screw
1) Remove all tapes and protective material.
-Remove all tapes, then open the document cover and remove the
protective material of sheet shape
4) Remove the developer cartridge.
2) Remove the fixing screw.
-Use a coin to remove the fixing screw.
-The fixing screw is required when transporting the machine. Keep it in
the tray. (Refer to the later description.)

5) Remove the harness of developer cartridge from the developer 

7) While rotating the MG roller in the arrow direction, supply the

developer into the developer tank evenly so as not to overflow. Note: After inserting the DV unit into the machine, be sure to tighten the
blue screw to fix it to the machine.

2 11) Connect the harness of the developer to the machine.

* Shake the developer bag enough before opening it.

B.Toner cartridge installation

1) Remove the new toner cartridge from the box. Grasp the cartridge
on both sides and shake it horizontally four or five times.

8) Check that two hooks of the developer cover is hooked on the toner 
cartridge guide, and secure the toner cartridge guide to the  4 or 5 times

C. Set the toner density reference control level
1) With the front cover open, turn ON the machine power and enter
SIM25-02.
Note: When the machine is not in the simulation mode, if the front cover
is closed and the machine power is turned ON, toner may be
supplied from the toner cartridge to the developer cartridge.
Under this state, the toner density reference control level
adjustment cannot be made properly.
Therefore, if the front cover is closed and the machine power is
turned ON with the machine not in the simulation mode, dispose
developer and supply new developer and adjust the toner density
reference level.
* It is necessary to install the toner cartridge to start this simulation.
2) Close the front cabinet.
3) Press [START] key, and execute SIM25-02.
Note: It takes about 3 minutes to execute SIM25-02 completely.
During execution of this simulation, the front cover must not be
opened and the machine power must not be turned OFF. 
4. Removal and storage of fixing screw
1) Gently pull out the tray.
2) Hold the paper pressure plate and turn the fixing screw in the arrow
direction.
3) Store the fixing pin and the fixing screw in the tray.
-Store the fixing screw which was removed in the above procedure 2 and
the fixing screw which was removed in procedure 2 of 2.
-Removal of protective material and fixing screw in the storage place in
the tray.

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

(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.
