Weight 15 lbs. to 21 lbs. (250 sheets) 22 lbs. to 24 lbs. (200 sheets) 14 lbs. to 34.5 lbs.**

Special media

Transparency film Envelope*
* Do not use envelopes that have metal clasps, plastic snappers, string closures, windows, linings, self-adhesive, patches or synthetic materials. These will cause physical damage to the copier. Envelopes with bent corners may frequently misfeed. They must be flattened. ** For paper weighing from 28 to 34.5 lbs., 8-1/2" x 11" is the maximum size that can be fed. Special papers such as transparency film and labels must be fed one sheet at a time.

NORMAL COPYING

Ensure that paper of the desired size is set in the paper tray. See page 14, LOADING COPY PAPER. Pull out the paper output tray until it stops as shown in the illustration.

When feeding copies to copy onto the back side, be sure to feed them one sheet at a time. Curled or wavy copies must be flattened before they are fed. If not, crumpling, paper misfeeds or smudges on copies may result.
Turn the first copy over top to bottom as shown below. Feed the first copy into the paper tray.
DESCRIPTION OF SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
This chapter describes the special functions of this copier.
Toner save mode (page 25)
Reduces toner consumption by approximately 10%.
Power save modes (page 26)
The copier has two power save modes of operation: preheat mode and auto power shut-off mode. Preheat mode When the copier enters the preheat mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will remain on or off as before. In this condition, the fuser in the copier is maintained at a lower heat level, thereby saving power. To copy from the preheat mode, make desired copier selections and press the print ( ) key using the normal copying procedure. Auto power shut-off mode When the copier enters the auto power shut-off mode, the power save ( ) indicator will light up and other indicators will go out. The auto power shut-off mode saves more power than the preheat mode but requires a longer time before starting copying. To copy from the auto power shut-off mode, press the print ( ) key. Then make desired copier selections and press the print ( ) key using the normal copying procedure.

Special functions

Auto clear (page 26)
The copier returns to the initial settings a preset amount of time after the last copy is made. This preset amount of time (auto clear time) can be changed.

This chapter describes how to replace the TD cartridge and the drum cartridge.

TD CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT

The TD cartridge replacement required ( ) indicator will light up when toner is needed. For information on purchasing TD cartridges, see SUPPLY PART NUMBERS AND STORAGE on page 44. If copying is continued while the indicator is lit, copies will gradually become lighter until the copier stops and the indicator begins blinking. Replace the old TD cartridge by following the procedure given below.

USER MAINTENANCE

Proper care is essential in order to get clean, sharp copies. Be sure to take a few minutes to regularly clean the copier. Before cleaning, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.
Do not use thinner, benzene or other volatile cleaning agents. Doing so may cause deformation, discoloration, deterioration or malfunction.

Cabinet

Wipe the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth.
Original table and original cover
Dirt or stains on the glass or cover will also be copied. Wipe the glass and the cover with a soft, clean cloth. If necessary, dampen the cloth with water or a glass cleaner. Original table Original cover
Cleaning the drum cartridge
If some parts of the images are missing from the printed page, you may need to clean the surface of the drum in the drum cartridge. Because the drum surface is very sensitive, you must take extreme care when cleaning it, otherwise it may become damaged, and any damage to this component will have a serious effect on the print quality. Follow the procedure below to clean the drum surface.
Remove the TD cartridge. To remove the TD cartridge, see page 28, step 3.
Remove the drum cartridge. To remove the drum cartridge, see page 29, DRUM CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT. Put the drum cartridge down on a clean, uncluttered and level surface. The drum can easily become damaged if it is not handled with care.
Take a sheet of clean paper and roll it into a tube. Roll it tightly so that the diameter of the hole at each end is less than the thickness of your little finger.
Gently rub the surface of the drum (green portion) with the rolled-up paper to remove any particles of toner caking on the drum.
Do not touch the drum surface with the edges of rolled-up paper. Do not let the drum surface come into contact with anything other than the rolled-up paper. Fingerprints, water, alcohol and other solvents will damage the drum surface.
Replace the drum cartridge. (See page 29, DRUM CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT.)
Replace the TD cartridge. (See page 28, TD CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT.)
Close the front cover and turn on the copier power.
When copier is not in use
To prevent entry of dust and foreign matter, store the copier as follows.
Remove the power cord and the interface cable (AL-840 only) and secure the copier using tape (two locations).
If this copier is not in use for a long time, remove the copy paper from the paper tray and store it in a location that is not humid. If the copy paper is left in the paper tray for a long time, it will absorb moisture, resulting in paper misfeeds.

This chapter describes misfeed removal and troubleshooting.

MISFEED REMOVAL

When the misfeed ( ) indicator blinks or blinks in the display, the copier will stop because of a misfeed. First check the misfeed location. Remove the misfed paper following the instructions for each location shown in the illustration below. If blinks in the display, proceed to A. Misfeed in the paper tray. (p. 34)
If the paper is misfed here, proceed to A. Misfeed in the paper tray. (p. 34)
Copier trouble? If the misfed paper is seen from this side, proceed to C. Misfeed in the exit area. (p. 36) If paper is misfed here, proceed to B. Misfeed in the copier. (p. 35)
A. Misfeed in the paper tray
Pull the paper release lever at the right of the paper tray toward you.
Remove all the paper, including the jammed paper, from the paper tray. If the misfed paper will not come out easily, do not pull it hard, as you may tear it or damage the printing mechanism. In such cases, proceed to B. Misfeed in the copier on page 35.
