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.
