1. Installing (use) conditions (3) Power frequency, waveform

Before installing the machine, check that the following installing
(use) conditions are satisfied.
If the installing (use) conditions are not satisfied, the machine may
not display full performances, resulting in troubles. It may also
cause safety problems. Therefore, be sure to arrange the installing
(use) conditions before setting up the machine.

A. Transportation space
For installation of a large size machine, be sure to check that the
door size is wide enough before bringing in.
B. Installing space
The following space must be provided around the machine in order
to assure machine performances and proper operations.
The frequency must be within the range of the specified frequency
2%. If power waveform is deformed, a trouble may occur.
(4) Safety
Be sure to properly ground the machine.
Grounding (earth connection) must be performed before inserting
the power plug into the power outlet.
When disconnecting the earth connection, be sure to disconnect
the power plug from the power outlet in advance.
(5) Power plug
Check the shape of the power plug of the machine, and insert it into
a power outlet of the acceptable shape.
Power plug stated in power capacity.
D. Floor strength and level
This machine is considerably heavy and becomes heavier with an
option installed.
The floor must be strong enough to safely support the weight of the
machine as well as any installed options.
If the unit is not horizontally installed, the toner density control is not
performed normally, degrading the copy quality.

If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing If not, color shift or image distortion may occur.

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 dam-
age 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
procedure on an anti-static mat.

G. Note for proper drum, developing and fusing

unit handling
When handling the drum unit and developing units, observe the fol-
lowing items.
Drum unit
• When the drum unit is removed from the machine, cover it with
light blocking material. (When using paper, use about 10 sheets
of paper to cover it.)
• Be careful not to attach fingerprints, oil, grease, or other foreign
material on the drum unit surface, charging roller surface, clean-
ing roller surface, separator pawl
Developing unit
• Be careful not to "leave” fingerprints, oil, grease, or other foreign
material on the developing unit.
Fusing unit
• Be careful not to "leave” fingerprints, oil, grease, or other foreign
material on the fusing roller.
If these items are neglected, a trouble may be generated in the
copy and print image quality.

2. Transit and delivery

No. Content Method
1 Implements, facility, Use a forklift. (If no forklift is available,
and man power manpower of two persons is required.)
2 Delivery Transit must be made in packed condition.

A. Implements, facility, and manpower

It is recommendable to use a forklift for bringing in the machine for
safety.
If no forklift is available, man-power of two persons is required. The
machine is considerably heavy, and requires safety precautions for
delivery and installation.
Transit of the machine must be made in packed condition to the
installing place.
Use care not to exert vibrations or shocks to the machine when in
transit.

B. Delivery
Remove the packing materials prior to installation in the office envi-
ronment.

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 recommended.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting-point of lead-freeCOPYRIGHT © XXXX
solder is about 220°C, which BYSHARP
is about CORPORATION
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 ALLofRIGHTS
components. RESERVED.
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 completion of soldering work. No part of this publication may be reproduced,
