Warning

1. Always observe precautions. Parts requiring special attention in this product include a label containing the mark shown on the left plus precautionary notes. Be sure to observe the precautions. Be sure to observe the Safety Information given in the user documentation. 2. Before starting the procedures, be sure to unplug the power cord.
This product contains a high-voltage unit and a circuit with a large current capacity that may cause an electric shock or burn. The product also contains parts that can jerk suddenly and cause injury. If this product uses a laser, laser beam leakage may cause eye damage or blindness.

3. Do not throw toner or the toner bottle into a fire. Do not throw toner or the Toner Bottle (Imaging Cartridge, Toner Cartridge) into a fire. Toner expelled from the fire may cause burns. 4. Use the specified parts. For replacement parts, always use the genuine parts specified in the manufacturers parts manual. Installing a wrong or unauthorized part could cause dielectric breakdown, overload, or undermine safety devices resulting in possible electric shock or fire. Replace a blown electrical fuse or thermal fuse with its corresponding genuine part specified in the manufacturers parts manual. Installing a fuse of a different make or rating could lead to a possible fire. If a thermal fuse blows frequently, the temperature control system may have a problem and action must be taken to eliminate the cause of the problem. 5. Handle the power cord with care and never use a multiple outlet. Do not break, crush or otherwise damage the power cord. Placing a heavy object on the power cord, or pulling or bending it may damage it, resulting in a possible fire or electric shock. Do not use a multiple outlet to which any other appliance or machine is connected. Be sure the power outlet meets or exceeds the specified capacity. 6. Be careful with the high-voltage parts. A part marked with the symbol shown on the left carries a high voltage. Touching it could result in an electric shock or burn. Be sure to unplug the power cord before servicing this part or the parts near it. 7. Do not work with wet hands. Do not unplug or plug in the power cord, or perform any kind of service or inspection with wet hands. Doing so could result in an electric shock. 8. Do not touch a high-temperature part. A part marked with the symbol shown on the left and other parts such as the exposure lamp and fusing roller can be very hot while the machine is energized. Touching them may result in a burn. Wait until these parts have cooled down before replacing them or any surrounding parts.
9. Maintain a Grounded Connection at all times. Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet that is equipped with a grounding terminal. 10. Do not remodel the product. Modifying this product in a manner not authorized by the manufacturer may result in a fire or electric shock. If this product uses a laser, laser beam leakage may cause eye damage or blindness. 11. Restore all parts and harnesses to their original positions. To promote safety and prevent product damage, make sure the harnesses are returned to their original positions and properly secured in their clamps and saddles in order to avoid hot parts, high-voltage parts, sharp edges, or being crushed. To promote safety, make sure that all tubing and other insulating materials are returned to their original positions. Make sure that floating components mounted on the circuit boards are at their correct distance and position off the boards.

4. Precautions for Dis/Reassembly Be sure to unplug the printer from the outlet before attempting to service the printer. The basic rule is not to operate the printer anytime during disassembly. If it is absolutely necessary to run the printer with its covers removed, use care not to allow your clothing to be caught in revolving parts such as the timing belt and gears. Before attempting to replace parts and unplug connectors, make sure that the power cord of the printer has been unplugged from the wall outlet. Be sure to use the Interlock Switch Actuating Jig whenever it is necessary to actuate the Interlock Switch with the covers left open or removed. While the product is energized, do not unplug or plug connectors into the circuit boards or harnesses. Never use flammable sprays near the printer. A used battery should be disposed of according to the local regulations and never be discarded casually or left unattended at the users premises. When reassembling parts, make sure that the correct screws (size, type) and toothed washer are used in the correct places. 5. Precautions for Circuit Inspection Never create a closed circuit across connector pins except those specified in the text and on the printed circuit. When creating a closed circuit and measuring a voltage across connector pins specified in the text, be sure to use the GND wire. 6. Handling of PWBs During Transportation/Storage During transportation or when in storage, new P.W. Boards must not be indiscriminately removed from their protective conductive bags. Do not store or place P.W. Boards in a location exposed to direct sunlight and high temperature. When it becomes absolutely necessary to remove a Board from its conductive bag or case, always place it on its conductive mat in an area as free as possible from static electricity. Do not touch the pins of the ICs with your bare hands. Protect the PWBs from any external force so that they are not bent or damaged. During Inspection/Replacement Avoid checking the IC directly with a multimeter; use connectors on the Board. Never create a closed circuit across IC pins with a metal tool. Before unplugging connectors from the P.W. Boards, make sure that the power cord has been unplugged from the outlet. When removing a Board from its conductive bag or conductive case, do not touch the pins of the ICs or the printed pattern. Place it in position by holding only the edges of the Board. When touching the PWB, wear a wrist strap and connect its cord to a securely grounded place whenever possible. If you cannot wear a wrist strap, touch a metal part to discharge static electricity before touching the PWB. Note that replacement of a PWB may call for readjustments or resetting of particular items. 7. Handling of Other Parts The magnet roller generates a strong magnetic field. Do not bring it near a watch, floppy disk, magnetic card, or CRT.

2. The Front Door is closed. Then, the Power Switch is turned ON. 3. The Toner Cartridge Rack is rotated to bring the Toner Cartridge at the developing position. 4. The Toner Cartridge Detection Sensor (PC8) detects whether or not the Toner Cartridge is installed. 5. The Toner Cartridge Detection Sensor judges that no Toner Cartridge is installed, since no light reflection is made with the Reflector placed under the Cover in the brand new Toner Cartridge. 6. The toner Cartridge, which is detected as not installed, is stopped at the developing position. Then, the Developing Roller is rotated. 7. The Reflector placed under the Cover is pushed out in the Toner Cartridge with a rotation of the Developing Roller. The Toner Cartridge Detection Sensor detects that the Toner Cartridge is installed with the light reflection from the Reflector. 8. Other Toner Cartridges are stopped at the developing position respectively. If the Cartridge is a brand new, sequences from 4 through 7 are repeated for each Color Toner Cartridge. According to the above-mentioned sequential operation, the Toner Cartridge is detected as a brand new one.
