Pictogram
The label ( ) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the
following:
: Caution, risk of danger
: Caution, hot surface

A. Warning for servicing


•exposed to direct sunlight
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed
paper.
•Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective material
such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path.
It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams.

B. Cautions for servicing


•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during •subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air

•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while
the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily
accessible.

Note : The temperature at the both end portion of Heat roller may rise too
high, depending on the paper to use (and condition) such as
continuous printing of small size paper.
In order to prevent this situation, output (of paper) is interrupted to
cool down the roller when the thermistor at the end portion detects
higher temperature than the specified temperature.
While it is interrupted, Power Save Indicator lamp blinks similarly
as at the normal Warm-up.

the developing bias, the main charger, and the grid are outputted. Since, in that case, laser discharge
is required when the motor stops, the polygon motor is driven simultaneously. Check if the
developing unit is installed or not. If it is not installed, the above high voltage is not outputted and only
the motor is rotated. After completion of 30 sec operation, the machine goes into the sub code input
standby mode.

This simulation must be executed only immediately after installing developer, Do not execute this
simulation for any developer which has been used.
If the machine goes into the warm-up state before completion of this simulation, there is a possibility
that toner may be supplied to the developer during warm-up. In such a case, therefore, the developer
must be replaced with new one.

In this correction, the toner supply interval is determined according to the print ratio, and an
overtoner is prevented.

Life correction
When the life of any consumable part approached the end, this correction prevents against
undertoner.

Note for items marked with


Drip infusion and Purge process are simulations for analysis, and do not set them to "Enable=1" in
the market.
If these items are set to "Enable=1", the toner density rises or falls extremely, resulting in developer
fall and toner dispersion.
If they are set to "Enable=1", developer must be replaced and the machine inside and the process
unit must be cleaned.

Unconditional toner supply

(2) Measure the image loss (R mm) of the scale. Set as C=10 x R (mm). (Example: Set to 40.)
When the value of C is increased by 10, the image loss is decreased by 1mm. (Default: 50)
(3) Measure the distance between the paper lead edge and the image print start position.
Set as A=10 x H (mm). (Example: Set to 50.)

stabilized, the sub code of "01" is displayed on the 7-seg display. When the light quantity of the copy
lamp is stabilized, it is revised every second, and the level of one pixel at the CCD center where no
correction is made is detected for 10 sec, and the detected level is displayed in hexadecimal on the
7-seg display. After completion of 10 sec detection, the machine goes into the sub code input
standby mode.
07 SPF automatic correction The SPF white correction start pixel position is automatically adjusted.
(Only when the RSPF is installed) This is performed after replacement of the lens. Open the SPF unit and press the [START] key, and
the position (which pixel) of the white sheet for SPF exposure correction in the SPF position is
displayed on the 7-seg display.
If the value is 93 ~ 229, it is displayed on the 7-seg display and is written into the EEPROM.
If the value is 0 ~ 92 or 230 ~ 999, it is displayed on the 7-seg display but is not written into the
EEPROM.
If the value is 1000 or above, "-------" is displayed on the 7-seg display and is not written into the
EEPROM.
The pixel position -34 written into the EEPROM is considered as the SPF white correction start pixel
of the machine.
When shi simulation is executed with the SPF unit closed, an error will occur.
64 01 Self print The optical system status is ignored and a self print is made. Also when a print command is sent
from the host, printing is performed.
(Operating procedure)
When this simulation is executed, warm-up is performed and the START indicator is lighted.
(However, the scanner is invalid and no initial operation is made.)
Enter the code number with the Numeric keys, and select a tray with the PAPER SELECT key and
press the [START] key. The selected tray start paper feed and printing is performed in the selected
pattern.
* Only the tray lamp and the online lamp are lighted, and no other lamps are lighted.

LEAD-FREE SOLDER

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD


When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting-point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the
exclusive-use soldering iron is recommended.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK


Since the melting-point of lead-freeCOPYRIGHT © XXXX
solder is about 220°C, which BYSHARP
is about CORPORATION
40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering
capacity is inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land
separation or may exceed the heat-resistive temperature ALLofRIGHTS
components. RESERVED.
Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when
completion of soldering is confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron
tip after completion of soldering work. No part of this publication may be reproduced,

If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
