[5]UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

1. Installation of machine

A. Installing conditions

Since the machine performance is largely affected by the installing place conditions, take enough considerations on the following items

1) Environment

Avoid installation at a place with direct sunlight. If not, the plastic parts may be deformed.

Avoid installation near a heater, a humidifier, or an air conditioner where humidity and temperature are extremely high or low. If not, paper may be dampened and dew is formed inside the machine, causing paper jam or dirty copies.

Avoid installation at a dusty place. If dust enters the machine, dirty copy or a trouble may be caused.

Avoid installation at a place with vibrations. If not, a machine trouble may be caused.

Avoid installation at a poorly ventilated place.

Avoid installation at a place that is filled with ammonium gas. If the copier is installed near a diazo-copier, dirty copies may be resulted.

2) Space around the copier

Allow a space of more than between the copier rear side and the wall.

3) Power source

Use an exclusive-use power outlet of 15A and 100V or more. If the power plug of this machine is inserted into a power outlet com- monly used with other illumination units, flickers of the lamp may be resulted. Use a power outlet which is not used commonly with any illumination units.

Avoid complex wiring.

4) Grounding wire connection.

To avoid danger, be sure to connect a grounding wire. If no groun ing wire is connected and a leakage occurs, a fire or an electric shock may be resulted.

2.Removal of protective material and fixing screw

1)Remove all tapes and protective material.

Remove all tapes, then open the document cover and remove the protective material of sheet shape

2)Remove the fixing screw.

Use a coin to remove the fixing screw.

The fixing screw is required when transporting the machine. Keep it in the tray. (Refer to the later description.)

AR-161

3. Installation of developing cartridge

1) Open the manual paper feed tray.

2) Lift the knob and slide the side cover gently.

3)Open the front cover.

Hold the both edge gently and open the front cover.

4)Remove the screw from the upper section of the insertion port of the developer cartridge.

5)Shake a new developer cartridge a few times as shown.

Shake it horizontally as shown with the arrow.
