OTHERS If a puzzling or recurring problem occurs, check the following before calling a service representative. It’s also a good idea to check the Do’s and Don’ts section on page 59 to make sure the paper and originals match what the copier can handle. Absolutely nothing happens ❐ Is the main switch on? ❐ Is the cord plugged in? ❐ Did a breaker or a fuse blow out? Something happens, but Set Paper or RF Select never appear ❐ Check the indicators on the control panel. If any of them are lit, turn to page 51.
Creases ❐ Try setting your copy paper sideways. ❐ If long runny creases appear on copies, try setting your copy paper sideways, or try changing the copy media setting. ❐ If creases appear on copies made to transparent film, try setting your film sheets sideways. Copies come out dog eared ❐ Try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up. ❐ Make sure your copy paper is undamaged. Black streaks appear on copies ❐ Check that the exposure glass is clean.
THINGS TO DO EVERY DAY Clean the exposure glass & the platen plate you should clean the copy and original tables with a damp cloth, then wipe them with a dry cloth. Clean the exposure glass and the Original Drive Roller with a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry cloth. SB040 Clean the platen plate with a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry cloth.
DO’S & DON’TS RCAUTION: r • When you move the machine, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to avoid fire or electric shock. • When the machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the power cord. ❐ Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot. ❐ After making copies continuously, you may feel the exposure glass is heated. But this is not a malfunction. ❐ You may feel warm around the ventilation hole. This is caused by exhaust air, and not a malfunction.
WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER Your copier needs to be installed by a qualified technician. If you need to transport your copier to a distant location, call your service center before the move. You can of course move your copier around your office without calling the service center.

Environments to avoid ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ Locations exposed to direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1500 lux); Dusty areas. Areas with corrosive gasses. Altitudes of over 6500 feet (2000 m) above sea level; Areas prone to strong vibrations. Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heat from a nearby heater. (Sudden temperature changes may lead to condensation within the copier.) ❐ Locations nearby diazo copy machine.
❐ Connect the copier to a power source meeting the specifications given on the inside front cover of this manual. ❐ Do not set anything on the power cord. ❐ Voltage must not fluctuate more than 10%. ❐ Make sure the copier is grounded. ❐ Make sure the plug is firmly inserted into the power outlet. ❐ Make sure the power outlet is close to the copier and easily accessible at all times. AccessTo Machine Place the copier near a power source and provide clearance as shown.

Absolutely nothing happens ❐ Is the main switch on? ❐ Is the cord plugged in? ❐ Did a breaker or a fuse blow out? Something happens, but Set Paper or RF Select never appear ❐ Check the indicators on the control panel. If any of them are lit, turn to page 49.
Creases ❐ Try setting your copy paper sideways. ❐ If long runny creases appear on copies, try setting your copy paper sideways, or try changing the copy media setting. ❐ If creases appear on copies made to transparent film, try setting your film sheets sideways. Copies come out dog eared ❐ Try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up. ❐ Make sure your copy paper is undamaged. Black streaks appear on copies ❐ Check that the exposure glass is clean.
THINGS TO DO EVERY DAY Clean the exposure glass & the platen plate you should clean the copy and original tables with a damp cloth, then wipe them with a dry cloth. ❐ Clean the exposure glass and the Original Drive Roller with a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry cloth. SM040 ❐ Clean the platen plate with a damp cloth, then wipe it with a dry cloth.
DO’S & DON’TS RCAUTION: r • When you move the machine, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to avoid fire or electric shock. • When the machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the power cord. ❐ Do not touch areas on or around the fusing unit. These areas get hot. ❐ After making copies continuously, you may feel the exposure glass is heated. But this is not a malfunction. ❐ You may feel warm around the ventilation hole. This is caused by exhaust air, and not a malfunction.
WHERE TO PUT YOUR COPIER Your copier needs to be installed by a qualified technician. If you need to transport your copier to a distant location, call your service center before the move. You can of course move your copier around your office without calling the service center.

Environments to avoid ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ ❐ Locations exposed to direct sunlight or strong light (more than 1500 lux); Dusty areas. Areas with corrosive gasses. Altitudes of over 6500 feet (2000 m) above sea level; Areas prone to strong vibrations. Locations directly exposed to cool air from an air conditioner or heat from a nearby heater. (Sudden temperature changes may lead to condensation within the copier.) ❐ Locations nearby diazo copy machine.
❐ Connect the copier to a power source meeting the specifications given on the inside front cover of this manual. ❐ Do not set anything on the power cord. ❐ Voltage must not fluctuate more than 10%. ❐ Make sure the copier is grounded. ❐ Make sure the plug is firmly inserted into the power outlet. ❐ Make sure the power outlet is close to the copier and easily accessible at all times.
