Handling Precautions

Platen

•Do not stack objects onto, or press down forcefully upon, the platen.

•The maximum allowable load that can be placed on the cover is 4.4 lb.

Main Unit

•Do not let paper clips, staples, or other foreign objects fall into the copier.

Also be careful not to spill any liquids or flammable substances (such as paint thinner, benzene or rubbing alcohol) on the copier. If a foreign object or liquid comes into contact with a dangerous voltage point inside the copier malfunction, fire or electrical shock could occur.

•Do not lubricate any part of the copier.

•Do not use any extremely flammable substances, such as aerosols, etc., near the copier as such a substance may ignite.

When not Using the Copier

•If you have to open the main unit to replace the cartridge or remove jammed paper, close the top cover immediately after performing the necessary operation. Also be sure to slide the platen back to its original position.

•If a cover is to be placed over the copier, be sure to turn OFF the power and allow the copier to cool down beforehand.

•Should the copier not be operated for a long period of time, unplug it from its power source.

When Storing the Copier Upright

•If the copier is to be stored upright with the carrying handle on top, press the power switch to OFF and let the copier cool down beforehand. Stand the copier upright on a flat, level surface so that it does not fall over.

•If the copier has been stored upright, move the platen all the way to the right and then back to the center position by hand before operating the copier.

Condensation

If the copier is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if the room is rapidly heated, condensation may form inside the copier. This can adversely affect the quality of your copy images (e.g., blacked- out copies). When the copier is exposed to such conditions, allow at least two hours for the copier to adjust to room temperature before attempting to use it.

WARNING:

•If there is an unusual noise, smoke, or anything else which causes concern, immediately turn the power switch OFF and unplug the copier. Then consult your service representative.
