SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTICE : Observe all cautions and safety notes located inside the cabinet and on the chassis.

LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK

Before returning the printer to the customer, it is recommended that leakage current be measured according to the following
methods.

1. Cold Check
With the AC plug removed from the 100-240 V AC source, place a jumper across the two AC plug prongs. Turn the printer
AC switch on. Using an ohm-meter, connect one lead to the AC plug and touch the other lead to each exposed metal part
(screwheads, metal overlays, etc.), particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis. Exposed metal
parts having a return path to the chassis should have a minimum resistance reading of 1 meg ohm. Any resistance below this
value indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. Exposed metal parts not having a return path to the chassis will
indicate an open circuit.

2. Hot Check
Use the circuit in the Figure to perform this test.
(1) With switch S1 open, connect the printer to the measuring circuit. Immediately after connection, measure the leakage current
using both positions of switch S2, and with the switching devices in the printer in all of their operating positions.
(2) Switch S1 is then closed, energising the printer. Immediately after closing the switch, measure the leakage current using both
positions of switch S2, and with the switching devices in the printer in all of their operating positions.
Current measurements of items (1) and (2) are to be repeated after the printer has reached thermal stabilisation. The leakage
current shall not be more than 0.5 milliampere.

PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in the printer have special safety related characteristics. These characteristics are often
not evident from visual inspection nor can the protection afforded by them necessarily be obtained by using replacement
components rated for higher voltage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this
service manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by shading on the schematic diagram and the parts
list of this service manual, and by the supplementary sheet for this chassis to be issued subsequently. Therefore replacements
for any safety parts should be identical in value and characteristics.

 PRECAUTIONS FOR RESOLDERING
Lead-free solder is handled in a different way from eutectic solder. See below for details.

How to distinguish circuit boards using lead-free solder from those using
eutectic solder

Circuit boards using lead-free solder

A mark of Solder, Joints, PCA or LFS (for limited marking space) is printed near the board assembly number on
the component side.

Circuit boards using eutectic solder

Circuit boards using eutectic solder are divided into two groups.
- Boards having no mark of Solder, Joints, PCA or LFS (for limited marking space) near the board assembly
number.
- Boards having a mark of Solder, Joints, PCA or LFS (for limited marking space) that is painted out by a
feltpen near the board assembly number.
* Only when there is a limited marking space on the board, Solder may be indicated as S, Joints as J, and
PCA as P.
* Circuit boards using lead-free solder and those using eutectic solder may be used together in the same product.

Instructions for resoldering

- For circuit boards using lead-free solder, use lead-free solder.
- For circuit boards using eutectic solder, use eutectic solder.
- Separate the soldering iron for lead-free solder from that for eutectic solder completely for use.
(It is prohibited to use a same soldering iron for lead-free solder and eutectic solder.)
- For lead-free solder, it is advisable to use a soldering iron of at least 40 W because lead-free solder has a melting point
approx. 35°C higher than that of eutectic solder as conventionally used. For wire solder, use M705ESC made by Senju
Metal Industry Co., Ltd.
- To remove solder, you can use desoldering wires for eutectic solder as conventionally used.
