 Unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet. When you pull
out the plug from the socket,
grip the plug to avoid damag-
ing the cord, thereby reducing
the risk of fire or electric shock.

Power Connection
R WARNING:
R CAUTION:
R CAUTION:
 When the main power switch is in
the stand-by position, the optional
anti-condensation heaters are on.
In an emergency, unplug the ma-
chines power cord.
 When you unplug the power cord,
the anti-condensation heaters turn
off.
 Make sure the plug is inserted
firmly in the wall outlet.
 Voltage must not fluctuate by
more than 10%.
 The wall outlet shall be installed
near the machine and shall be eas-
ily accessible. Connect the machine only to 
the power source described 
on the inside front cover of 
this manual. Connect the pow-
er cord directly into a wall out-
let and do not use an 
extension cord.
Do not damage, break or make 
any modifications to the pow-
er cord. Do not place heavy 
objects on it. Do not pull it 
hard nor bend it more than 
necessary. These actions 
could cause an electric shock 
or fire.
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.
When you disconnect the power 
plug from the wall outlet, always 
pull the plug (not the cable).

8. Security
Security
Confidential information is always at risk of being copied without permission or
subject to unauthorized access through the network. To protect documents from
such intrusion, not only can passwords be set, but also the Extended Security
function can be used to strengthen security.
For those who require increased document protection, we recommend the Ex-
tended Security function.
Primary Security Functions
❖Protecting Image Data Remaining in Memory
Protects image data remaining in memory. When a copy job is completed, or
a job is canceled, the data is secure.
❖Authenticating Administrator
Protects essential functions for administrating document security using an ac-
cess code. See p.40 “Key Operator Code”.

8Operating Environment and Notes
Security for this machine is assured on the premises that the machine is used un-
der the following conditions:
Operating Environment
 The condition of the machine is normal. (For example, it is not damaged,
modified, or lacking components.)
 The machine is managed by an administrator with thorough knowledge of
the machine and capable of providing the proper conditions under which us-
ers can use the machine safely.
For Administrator
 Security of this machine cannot be assured if any hardware component is de-
tached or replaced with an inappropriate component. If these things have the
possibility of occurring, other security measures are necessary.
 Avoid using a single number or consecutive numbers for a key operator code
such as “00000000” or “12345678”. Since the numbers like this are easy to
guess, using them will not provide the appropriate level of security.
 User code is a function to help manage the use of the machine. It is not to pro-
tect confidential documents from others.
