Safety Notices

Important Safety Notices

Prevention of Physical Injury
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the machine and peripherals, make sure that
the machine power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the machine and easily accessible.
3. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open while
the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically driven
components.
4. The machine drives some of its components when it completes the warm-up period. Be
careful to keep hands away from the mechanical and electrical components as the machine
starts operation.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while the machine is
operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with your bare hands.

Health Safety Conditions

Toner is non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes by accident, it may cause temporary
eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops or flush with water as first aid. If unsuccessful, get
medical attention.

Observance of Electrical Safety Standards

The machine and its peripherals must be serviced by a customer service representative who
has completed the training course on those models.

Safety and Ecological Notes for Disposal

1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when
exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, the maintenance unit which includes developer or the organic
photoconductor in accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
 ƒ To prevent a fire or explosion, keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases,
and aerosols. A fire or an explosion might occur.

ƒ The Controller board on the MF model contains a lithium battery. The danger of
explosion exists if a battery of this type is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard batteries in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

Laser Safety
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based
optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a
location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a
qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer
engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or
service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.

ƒ Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than those

specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING

WARNING:
Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the procedures in the Laser Optics
Housing Unit section. Laser beams can seriously damage your eyes.

4.1 BEFORE YOU START

4.1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

ƒ If there are printer jobs in the machine, print out all jobs in the printer buffer.
ƒ Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine before you do the procedures
in this section.
Use extreme caution when removing and replacing components. The cables in the machine are
located very close to moving parts; proper routing is a must.
After components have been removed, any cables that have been displaced during the
procedure must be restored as close as possible to their original positions. Before removing any

Replacement

Adjustment
component from the machine, note any cable routings that may be affected.

and
Before servicing the machine:
1. Verify that documents are not stored in memory.
2. Remove the print cartridge before you remove parts.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Work on a flat and clean surface.
5. Replace with authorized components only.
6. Do not force plastic material components.
Make sure all components are returned to their original positions.

AIO
The AIO consists of the OPC drum, charge roller, development unit, cleaning components and
toner tank. Observe the following precautions when handling the AIO.
1. Never touch the drum surface with bare hands. If the drum surface is dirty or if you have
accidentally touched it, wipe it with a dry cloth, or clean it with wet cotton and then wipe it
dry with a cloth.
2. Never use alcohol to clean the drum. Alcohol will dissolve the drum surface.
3. Store the AIO in a cool dry place.
4. Do not expose the drum to corrosive gases (ammonia, etc.).
5. Do not shake a used AIO, as this may cause toner to spill out.
6. Dispose of used AIO components in accordance with local regulations.

SM 4-1 M095/M096/M099/M100
Before You Start

Laser Unit
1. Do not loosen or adjust the screws securing the LD drive board on the LD unit. Doing so will
throw the LD unit out of adjustment.
2. Do not adjust the variable resistors on the LD unit, as these are permanently adjusted at
the factory. If replacement of the LD drive board is necessary, replace the entire LD unit.
3. Keep the polygon mirror and toroidal lens free of dust. Laser performance is very sensitive
to dust on these components.
4. Do not touch the shield glass or the surface of the polygon mirror with bare hands.
5. Do not adjust the Laser Synchronization detector on the LD unit, as these are permanently
adjusted at the factory.

Transfer Roller
1. Never touch the surface of the transfer roller with bare hands.
2. Be careful not to scratch the transfer roller, as the surface is easily damaged.

Fusing
1. After installing the fusing thermistor, make sure that it is in contact with the hot roller and
that the roller can rotate freely.
2. Be careful to avoid damage to the hot roller stripper pawls and their tension springs.
3. Do not touch the fusing lamp and rollers with bare hands.
4. Make sure that the fusing lamp is positioned correctly and that it does not touch the inner
surface of the hot roller.

Paper Feed
1. Do not touch the surface of paper feed rollers.
2. To avoid misfeeds, the side and end fences in each paper tray must be positioned correctly
so as to align with loaded paper size.

Scanner Unit (for M099/M100)

1. Use alcohol or glass cleaner to clean the exposure and scanning glass. This will reduce the
static charge on the glass.
2. Use a blower brush or a water-moistened cotton pad to clean the mirrors and lenses.
3. Make sure to not bend or crease the exposure lamp’s ribbon cable.
4. Do not disassemble the lens unit. This will cause the lens and copy image to get out of
focus.
5. Do not turn any of the LED positioning screws. This will put the LED out of position.

4.1.2 RELEASING PLASTIC LATCHES

Many of the parts are held in place with plastic latches. The latches break easily, so release
them carefully. To release a latch, press the hook end of the latch away from the part to which it
is latched.

and
1. Make sure all parts that require grounding are properly grounded.
2. Make sure the interlock switch is functioning.
3. Do not leave unused solder or parts inside the machine.
4. Do not leave any tools inside the machine.
5. Make sure all wires are properly connected and routed.
6. Make sure wires are not jammed between parts of the machine.

4.1.4 LITHIUM BATTERIES (MF MODELS)

Energy Saver Modes Description

Energy Saver Mode 1 Lower the fusing temperature.

Energy Saver Mode 2 No power is supplied to the printing engine, and almost none
(Sleep Mode) to the controller.

When the machine is not being used, the machine enters energy saver mode to reduce the
power consumption by lowering the fusing temperature.
The area shaded gray in this diagram represents the amount of energy that is saved when the
timers are at the default settings (10 minutes). If the timers are changed, then the energy saved
will be different. For example, if the timers are all set to 240 minutes, the gray area will
disappear, and no energy is saved before 240 minutes expires.

Recommendation
We recommend that the default settings should be kept.
ƒ If the customer requests that these settings should be changed, please explain that their
energy costs could increase, and that they should consider the effects on the environment
of extra energy use.
ƒ If it is necessary to change the settings, please try to make sure that the Auto Off timer is
not too long. Try with a shorter setting first, such as 12 minutes, then go to a longer one
(such as 15 minutes) if the customer is not satisfied.
ƒ If the timers are all set to the maximum value, the machine will not begin saving energy until
240 minutes has expired after the last job. This means that after the customer has finished
using the machine for the day, energy will be consumed that could otherwise be saved.

6.2.1 EFFECTIVENESS OF DUPLEX/COMBINE FUNCTION

Duplexing and the combine functions reduce the amount of paper used. This means that less
energy overall is used for paper production, which improves the environment.

3. Duplex + Combine
Using both features together can further reduce paper volume by 3/4!

To check the paper consumption, look at the total counter and the duplex counter.
The total counter counts all pages printed.
ƒ For one duplex page, the total counter goes up by 2.
ƒ For a duplex job of a three-page original, the total counter goes up by 3.
The duplex counter counts pages that have images on both sides.
ƒ For one duplex page, the duplex counter goes up by 1.
ƒ For a duplex job of a three-page original, the duplex counter will only increase by 1, even
though two sheets are used.

2.2.1 PAPER SEPARATION AND FEED

The paper tray holds 500 sheets of paper.

The paper feed unit uses a friction pad system.
The gear [A] is driven by the transport/fusing motor in the mainframe.
The relay clutch [B] and paper feed clutch [C] control drive from the mainframe. When the
optional tray is selected as the feed tray, the relay clutch and paper feed clutch transmit
drive power to the relay roller and paper feed roller.

 Basic Operation

2.2.2 PAPER LIFT

Unit TK1010
Paper Feed

(G849)
The bottom plate is always pressed up by the spring in the tray. Therefore, you must press
down the bottom plate when you insert the tray in the machine.
The bottom tray lock levers [A] hold the tabs [B] under the bottom plate after the bottom
plate is pressed down.

When the tray is inserted in the machine, the lock lever guides [C] in the paper feed unit
push the bottom plate lock levers, and then the lock levers release the tabs under the
bottom plate. As a result, the bottom plate is lifted by the spring.
