Energy Star | A voluntary program introduced by the United States Environmental |
| Protection Agency (EPA) intended to encourage the use of energy- |
| efficient technologies in the workplace. Requirements to qualify for |
| certification vary based on the speed of a Copier. For specifics on your |
| Copier, check the Specifications section of this Guide. |
Exit Tray | A tray attached to the output end of the copier to collect copies. This tray |
| is usually removed when a Sorter or Finisher is installed. In this case, the |
| top tray of the Sorter or Finisher serves as the Exit Tray. |
Exposure Glass | The glass surface located under the Document Cover or Document |
| Feeder. The original is placed here to make a copy. If an RADF is present, |
| it transports the original to this location. Once here, the original is |
| exposed by the Exposure Lamp located directly below the glass. |
Exposure Lamp | The light source located directly below the Exposure Glass. It is the light |
| from this lamp that exposes the original, reflects off the original, travels |
| through the optics and exposes the Drum. |
Exposure Pad | A Pad located on the bottom side of a Document Cover used to hold an |
| original in place on the Exposure Glass during the exposure process. |
Factory Default | A setting in the copier that is set at the factory. You can change some of |
| these settings. Others can be changed by a Service Technician. See also |
| Initial Setting. |
Front Cover | The Cover located at the front of the copier designed to allow access to |
| the interior of the copier. This allows the operator to add supplies, remove |
| paper misfeeds, or perform other maintenance as prescribed by the |
| Operator Guide. |
Fused Toner | The image, usually black, that adheres to the surface of the copy paper. |
| This Toner is “Fused” to the surface of the paper using pressure and heat. |
Fuser Assembly | The unit located inside the exit area of the copier that provides heat and |
| pressure to attach the toner to the paper surface. |
Fuser Cleaning Pad | In certain copiers, it is necessary to clean toner residue and paper dust |
| from the Fuser Rollers. This provides extended life of the Rollers and |
| cleaner copies. At certain intervals, this pad must be replaced. |
Graphic Display | A Display that shows icons related to service or supply related error |
| condition. In some copiers, these icons may be incorporated into a graphic |
| representation of the copier to show the approximate position of an error. |
Gray Scale | A term referring to the shades of gray between the black and the white |
| areas on an original or copy. Normal copies reduce the shades of gray to |
| produce very dense blacks and clean whites. During the photo copy |
| modes, the copier is set to reproduce the shades of gray more faithfully, |
| but usually at the expense of the black density. |
