PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING THE LASER EQUIPMENT
When laser protective goggles are to be used, select ones with a lens conforming to the above specifications. When a disassembly job needs to be performed in the laser beam path, such as when working around the printerhead and PC Drum, be sure first to turn the printer OFF. If the job requires that the printer be left ON, take off your watch and ring and wear laser protective goggles. A highly reflective tool can be dangerous if it is brought into the laser beam path. Use utmost care when handling tools on the users premise.

Lower Feeder Paper Near-Empty Sensor (PC14)
A paper near-empty condition is detected by the Lower Feeder Paper Near-Empty Sensor. A paper near-empty condition is equivalent to the following number of sheets of paper left in the tray.
Specifications Near-empty detection 50 +/- 25 sheets

11. OTHER MECHANISMS

Duplex Unit (Option)
The drive for the Duplex Unit works as follows. The paper having a printed image on its one side is temporarily fed toward the Exit Tray and, as soon as the trailing edge of the paper moves past the guide plate before the Exit Roller, the Exit Roller is turned backward so that the paper is fed into the Duplex Unit. The drive for the Exit Roller is disconnected from the printer when the Duplex Unit is mounted on the printer and, instead, it is provided by the Duplex Unit Turnover Motor of the Duplex Unit. The Transport Rollers of the Duplex Unit are driven by the Duplex Unit Transport Motor. The paper is transported to the printer by the Transport Rollers.

Set the length of time until the printer enters energy saver mode after it no longer receives print jobs or is not operated. If a print job is received while the printer is in energy saver mode, the printer warms up, then returns to normal print mode before starting to print. When set to On, the printer continues printing even if the specified tray is not loaded with paper of the correct size. When set to Off, the printer stops and displays a message indicating that paper of the correct size should be loaded into the specified tray if the specified tray does not contain paper of the correct size. The Auto Continue setting can also be changed while printing. If this is done, the setting will remain valid for future print jobs. When set to On, the printer automatically switches to a different media tray containing paper of the same size and type and continues printing if the specified tray runs out of paper. When set to Off, the printer stops and displays a message indicating that paper should be loaded into the specified tray if the specified tray runs out of paper. The Chaining Tray setting can also be changed while printing. If this is done, the setting will remain valid for future print jobs.
