Energy Star (ENERGY STA R®) Program
We have determined as a participating company in the International Energy Star Program that 
this product is compliant with the standards laid out in the International Energy Star Program.
International Energy Star Program has as its basic goals the promotion of efficient energy use 
and the reduction of the environmental pollution that accompanies energy consumption by 
promoting the manufacture and sale of products that fulfill program standards.
International Energy Star Program standards require that multifunction devices come equipped 
with a Low Power Mode where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state but energy 
consumption is still reduced after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last 
used, as well as a Sleep Mode where printer and fax functions remain in a waiting state but 
power consumption is still reduced to a minimum when there is no activity with the device within 
a set amount of time. This product is equipped with the following features as a result of its 
compliance with International Energy Star Program standards.
Low Power Mode
The device automatically enters Low Power Mode when 15 minutes have passed since the 
device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Low Power Mode 
is activated may be lengthened. See Low-Power Mode on page3-35 for more information.
Sleep Mode
The device automatically enters Sleep Mode when 45 minutes have passed since the device 
was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep Mode is activated 
may be lengthened. For more information see Sleep Mode on page3-36.
Automatic 2-Sided Copy Function
The Energy Star Program encourages the use of 2-sided copying which reduces the load on the 
environment and this device includes 2-sided copying as a standard function. For example, by 
copying two 1-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a 2-sided copy, it is possible to 
lower the amount of paper used. For more information refer to Duplex Mode on page3-11.
Paper Recycling
The Energy Star Program encourages the use of environmentally friendly recycled paper. Your 
sales or service representative can provide information about recommended paper types. About the International Energy Star Program

Installation Precautions
Environment
Caution
Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such 
locations may cause the machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents 
a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine.
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt become attached to the 
power plug, clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or locations near 
flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and maintenance, allow access 
space as shown below. Leave adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow 
air to be properly ventilated out of the machine.
Other precautions
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and performance of the 
machine. Install in an air-conditioned room (recommended room temperature: around 50 to 
90.5 °F (10 to 32.5 °C), humidity: around 15 to 80 %) and avoid the following locations when 
selecting a site for the machine.
• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.
• Avoid locations with vibrations. 
• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations. 
• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
Small amounts of ozone and other chemicals are released during copying, but the quantities do 
not present any health risk to humans. If, however, the machine is used over a long period of 
time in a poorly ventilated room or when making an extremely large number of copies, the smell 
may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment for copy work, it is suggested 
that the room be properly ventilated.
Do not install this machine beneath fluorescent lights. The original size may be detected 
incorrectly.

Power supply/Grounding the machine
Warning
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple 
connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or 
electrical shock.
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with the 
prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the danger of 
fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, 
contact your service representative.
Other precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is 
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
Handling of plastic bags
Warning
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from children. The plastic 
may cling to their nose and mouth causing suffocation.
Precautions for Use
Cautions when using the machine
Warning

odd smell, or any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical 
shock. Turn the main power switch off ({ position) immediately, be absolutely certain to 
remove the power plug from the outlet and then contact your service representative.
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the machine, turn the 
main power switch off ({ position) immediately. Next, be absolutely certain to remove the 
power plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact
