Safety Information

To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe

the Warnings and Cautions. Do not do anything that is dangerous or not

within the scope of this document.

Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described

in this manual. In addition to the descriptions below and those given in

this manual, there are many situations and circumstances that are

dangerous. Be aware of these when you are working with the printer.

Power Supply

Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and

unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the

printer when the power is applied, be aware of the potential for electrical

shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.

W ARNING

Do not touch any live part unless you are instructed to

do so by a service procedure. The LVPS power supply

switch/inlet part is live even when the power switch has

been turned off. Do not touch any live part.

Mechanical Components

If you service a driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn off the power

and unplug the power cord. Then manually rotate the assembly.

Safety Components

The printer is equipped with safety components (e.g., interlock

switches, fuses, thermostat) and safety switches for protecting users

and service personnel from injury and the equipment from damage.

The printer has two interlock switches, two safety switches and two

interlock connectors that serve as the main safety mechanism.

Front Cover Switch R

This switch is turned off when the Front Cover Assembly is opened.

It cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power

supply unit to stop all operations and disconnects the output (5VDC-

LD) circuit from the power supply and stops the laser beam

emission.

This switch consists of the following two switches:

A switch that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to

the control circuits and related parts.

A switch that directly cuts off the power supply circuit (5VDC-LD)

to the laser beam output circuit.

Front Cover Switch L

This is a safety switch. This switch is turned off when the Front

Cover Assembly is opened, causing the printer without control units

to stop operating.

Top Cover Switch

This is an interlock switch that directly cuts off the power supply

(5VDC-LD) circuit to the laser beam output circuit. This switch is

turned off when the Top Cover Assembly is removed, cutting off the

output (5VDC-LD) circuit from the power supply unit and stopping

the laser beam emission.

W ARNING

Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the

assembly (printer) is being driven.

Exit Chute Switch

This switch is a safety switch. This switch is turned off when the Exit

Upper Assembly (the cover on the upper left side of the printer) is

opened.

P/J91 (Connector that connects the Main Harness Assembly and

Registration Harness Assembly)

This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply

(24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts.

This connector is disconnected when the Main P/H Assembly (pull-

out type unit on the right side of the printer) is pulled out, cutting off

the output (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply and stopping

the printer operation without control units.

P/J71 (Connector that connects the Fuser Connector and Fuser

Harness Assembly)

This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply

(24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts.

This connector is disconnected when the Fuser Assembly (pull-out

type unit on the left side of the printer) is pulled out, cutting off the

output (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply and stopping the

printer operation without control units.

Laser Beam

The printer has two interlock switches: the Front Cover Switch R and

the Top Cover Switch. The purpose of these switches is to turn off the

laser beam emission if any of the printer covers have been opened; this

protects the user or service personnel from exposure to the laser beam

from the ROS Assembly.

A laser beam may be emitted during a maintenance operation. Do not

turn on these interlock switches simultaneously under any

circumstances except in a normal operation.

NOTE:The laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more

coherent phases than any other light (sunlight, electric light).

It has excellent monochromaticity and convergence. A thin

laser beam reaches long distances. Because of its

convergence characteristic, the laser beam converges into

one point, causing high density and high temperature. A

laser beam is harmful to the human body.

NOTE:The laser beam in this printer is invisible.

W ARNING

Do not expose yourself to the laser beam to prevent

injury (blindness).

Do not open the cover that has the laser beam

warning label.

If you disassemble or assemble the printer, turn off

the power.

If you need to work on the printer with power applied,

strictly follow the instructions in this manual.

If you have to activate the printer while pressing the

Front Cover Switch R by hand or with a tool, remove

the Top Cover. (Do not turn on these interlock

switches simultaneously under any circumstances

except in a normal operation.)

Understand how the laser beam functions and take

maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone

around you.

High Temperature Assembly

To prevent you from becoming injured or burned, do the following:

Before working with a high temperature Assembly (e.g., Fuser

Assembly), turn off the power, unplug the power cord and wait until it

cools down.

Parts

To prevent you from becoming injured, keep the following in mind:

When handling heavy parts (including the printer itself), use good

posture to protect your back whenever you lift, move or place parts.

Be careful not to injure yourself with the sharp edges of the parts.

Do not work with wet or oily hands-you may drop a part or injure

yourself. Dry your hands first.

When pulling out a part (including a harness), do not use too much

force. Pull out the part carefully and slowly step by step.

W ARNING

The high temperature Assembly is very hot

immediately after any printer operations. Wait at least

40 minutes before you start working on the printer.

W ARNING

Do not lift, move or place heavy parts in a body posture

that is likely to cause injury to yourself or cause the

part to drop.
