3. Installing procedure
A. Set-up
1) Remove all pieces of tape, then open the SPF or the document cover and remove the protective material. 2) Use a coin (or other suitable object) to remove the screw.

6) Store the pressure plate lock which has been removed in step 5) and the screw which has been removed in step 2) in the front of the paper tray. To store the pressure plate lock, rotate the lock to fix it on the relevant location.

Pressure plate lock

Note: Store the screw in the paper tray as described in step 6) because it must be used if the machine has to be moved. 3) Install the TD cartridge. For installation of the TD cartridge, see the next page. 4) Gentry lift and pull out the paper tray until it stops.

For two tray models, follow steps 4) to 6) for both the upper and lower trays except for storage of the screw.

Screw

7) Ensure that the power switch of the machine is in the OFF position. Plug the power cord into the nearest outlet. Caution: ·If you use the machine in a country other than the country where the machine was purchased, you will need to make sure that your local power supply is compatible with your model. If you plug the machine into an incompatible power supply, irreparable damage to the machine will result. ·Only insert the power cord into a properly grounded wall socket. Do not use extension cords or power strips. Note: Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.

5) 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.

4) Insert the TD cartridge along the guides until it locks in place while pushing the lock release lever. If there is any dirt or dust on the TD cartridge, remove it before installing the cartridge.

2) Remove the new TD cartridge from the bag. Hold the cartridge on both sides and shake it horizontally four or five times.

5) Close the front cover. The TD cartridge replacement required indicator will go out.

4 or 5 times

3) Remove the protective cover from the TD cartridge by unlatching three cover hooks from the holes on the cartridge and then pulling the cover in the direction indicated by the arrow in the illustration.

Note: ·Even after a new TD cartridge is installed, the TD cartridge replacement required indicator may still light up, indicating that copying cannot be resumed (toner is not fed sufficiently). In this case, open and close the front cover. The machine will feed toner again for about two minutes and then copying can be resumed. ·Before closing the front cover, make sure that the TD cartridge is correctly installed. ·When closing the front cover, gently hold both ends.

5. Changing a tray's paper size setting
Follow these steps to change a tray's paper size setting. Note: ·The paper size setting cannot be changed when the machine has stopped temporarily due to running out of paper or a misfeed, or during interrupt copying. ·During printing (even in copy mode), the paper size setting cannot be changed. ·A5 size paper can only be selected in upper paper tray. ·Do not load paper that is a different size than the paper size setting. Copying will not be possible. 1) Hold down the [PAPER SIZE ENTER] key for more than 5 seconds to set the selected paper size. The currently selected paper feed location indicator will blink and the corresponding paper size (which is currently set) indicator will light steadily. All other indicators will go out.

4) Squeeze the lock lever of the front guide and slide the front guide to match the width of the paper, and move the left guide to the appropriate slot as marked on the tray.

Left guide

Front guide

·The front guide is a slide-type guide. Grasp the locking knob on the guide and slide the guide to the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. ·The left guide is an insert-type guide. Remove it and then insert it at the indicator line of the paper to be loaded. 5) Press the [START] key and then the [PAPER SIZE ENTER] key. To change the paper size setting of another tray, repeat steps 2) to 5) after pressing the [START] key.

[8] USER PROGRAMS
The user programs allow the parameters of certain functions to be set, changed, or canceled as desired.

1. List of user programs
This copier has the following user programs. Program name Auto clear time Program No Description "Auto clear time" automatically returns the copy settings to the initial settings when a certain period of time elapses after a copy is made. This program is used to select the period of time. "Auto clear time" can also be disabled. Default 1 (OFF) 2 (10sec) 60sec 3 (20sec) 4 (60sec) 5 (90sec) 6 (120sec) Preheat mode This function automatically switches the machine to a low power consumption state if the set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. The POWER SAVE indicator lights up, however, the keys on the operation panel can be used. Normal operation automatically resumes when a key on the operation panel is pressed, an original is placed, a print job is received, or scanning is begun from a computer. This function automatically switches the machine to a state that consumes even less power than preheat mode if the set duration of time elapses without the machine being used when the power is on. All lights except the POWER SAVE indicator and ON LINE indicator go off. To resume normal operation, press the [START] key. Normal operation also resumes automatically when a print job is received or scanning is begun from a computer. While in auto power shut-off mode, no keys (except the [START] key) can be used. When copying using the SPF/RSPF, during the period of time that the SPF/RSPF indicator blinks after an original has been scanned (about 5 seconds), a subsequent original can be placed and automatically fed into the machine. Use this setting to enable or disable auto power shut-off. This function automatically selects paper that is the same size as the original placed in the SPF, or the same size as that selected with the [ORIGINAL SIZE ENTER] key. The function can be disabled. If the paper runs out during printing and there is paper of the same size and orientation in another tray, this function automatically switches to that tray (excluding the bypass tray). The function can be disabled. Use to enable or disable "Auditing mode". "Auditing mode" is initially disabled. Use to set up account numbers. Up to 20 accounts can be established. Use to change an account number. Use to delete an account number. A single account number can be deleted, or all account numbers at once. This displays the number of copies made by each account. The maximum count is 49,999. If this number is exceeded, the count will start over from 0. Use to reset the copy count of an account to 0. The copy count of a single account or of all accounts can be reset. When enabled, this function offsets the position in the paper output tray of interrupt copy jobs , and print jobs when using the printer functoin. The copy resolution in auto and text mode is normally 300 dpi.

Program name Key auto repeat

Program No

Description Use this setting to select whether or not holding down a key causes repeated input of the key. For keys that normally cause a set value to increase when held down (for example, holding down the [ZOOM] key), this program can be used to have the set value not change when the key is held down. Use this setting to select how long a key must be pressed for the input to be accepted. By selecting a longer time, you can prevent settings from being changed by the accidental pressing of a key.

Use this to sound a beep when a base setting is selected. Use this setting to select 99 or 999 for the maximum number of copies. When this function is enabled, printing in printer mode will automatically continue using a different size of paper if the specified size of paper runs out in all trays. This feature does not function in copy mode. Use this program to select a default tray. This tray is automatically selected each time the power is turned on or each time the machine reverts to the initial settings. Use this program to set "AUTO", "TEXT", or "PHOTO" as the default exposure mode.

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.

Example:

(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 completion 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.
