7. Remarks
Dos and Donts
R CAUTION:
Important
❒Do not turn the power off while
the On indicator is lit or blinking.
Doing so may damage the memo-
ry.
❒Before unplugging the power cord
or turning off the main power
switch, make sure remaining
memory space is at 100%, as
shown on the display. See p.16
“Turning Off the Power” and p.16
“Turning Off the Main Power”.
 When you use this machine for a
long time in a confined space with-
out good ventilation, you may de-
tect an odd smell. To keep the
workplace comfortable, we recom-
mend that you keep it well venti-
lated.
 Do not touch areas on or around
the fusing unit. These areas get hot.
 After making copies continuously,
the exposure glass may become
warm—this is not a malfunction. The area around the ventilation
hole might feel warm. This is
caused by exhaust air and is not a
malfunction.
 When the machine is not in use
and in stand-by mode, you may
hear a small noise inside. This is
caused by the image stabilization
process and is not a malfunction.
 Do not turn off the operation
switch while copying. Make sure
all copying has finished first.
 The machine might not produce
good copy images if condensation
forms inside as a result of rapid
temperature change.
 Do not open the covers of the ma-
chine while copying. If you do,
misfeeds might occur.
 Do not move the machine during
copying.
 If you operate the machine im-
properly or a machine failure oc-
curs, settings might be lost. Be sure
to make a note of your machine
settings.
 The manufacturer shall not be lia-
ble for any loss or damage result-
ing from mechanical failure, loss of
settings, or use of the machine. Unplug the power cord from the 
wall outlet before you move the 
machine. While moving the ma-
chine, you should take care that 
the power cord will not be dam-
aged under the machine.
