• Make sure that there is no fingerprints or oil staining on part of the original glass on where the
original scale is mounted since the shading correction plate is located below the scale to be
scanned.
• Grease is applied to the back side of the original glass. Therefore, when removing the original
glass, be careful not to have grease adhere to other portions and do not wipe it off.

2. Photoconductive drum
Like the toner and developer, photoconductive drum should be stored in a dark place where the
ambient temperature is between 10°C to 35°C (no condensation). Be sure to avoid places where
drums may be subjected to high humidity, chemicals and/or their fumes.
5. Paper
Avoid storing paper in places where it may be subjected to high humidity. After a package is opened,
be sure to place and store it in a storage bag.
6. Transfer roller
Transfer roller should be stored in a place where the ambient temperature is between 10°C to 35°C
(no condensation). Be sure to avoid places where transfer roller may be subjected to high humidity,
chemicals and/or their fumes.
2. Handling precautions
As the photoconductive drum surface is very sensitive, be sure to handle the drum carefully when
installing and removing it so as not damage its surface.
Be sure to apply “patting powder” (lubricant) to the entire surface of the drum (including both ends of
the drum where OPC is not coated) when replacing the drum. When the drum has been replaced
with a new one, the drum counter (the Setting Mode 08-6250-0, 3, 6 and 7) must be cleared to 0
(zero).
Notes:
• Application of patting powder is for reducing the friction between the drum and cleaning blade.
If the application of patting powder is neglected, the drum and cleaning blade may be
damaged.
• When paper fibers or thread adhere to the cleaning blade edge, they may reduce the cleaning
efficiency and, in addition, may damage the blade and the drum. Be sure to remove any fibers
found adhering to the blade. 7
2. Cleaning procedure
Clean the blade edge with a cloth moistened with water and squeezed lightly.
- Pressure roller
Do not leave any oil (fingerprints, etc.) on the pressure roller.
2. Checking
- Check for stain and damage on the fuser and pressure rollers, and clean if necessary.
- Check the separation guide and fingers and check for chipped tips.
- Check the thermistors for proper contact with the pressure roller.
- Check the fused and fixed condition of the toner.
- Check the gap between the entrance guide and pressure roller.
- Check the fuser roller for proper rotation.
3. Cleaning procedure
When fuser roller and pressure roller become dirty, they will cause jamming. If this happens, wipe
the surface clean with a piece of soft cloth. For easier cleaning, clean the roller white they are still
warm.
Notes:
Be careful not to rub the fuser roller and pressure roller surface with your nails or hard objects
because it can be easily damaged. Do not use silicone oil on the fuser roller and pressure roller.
2. Cleaning procedure
If bits of thread or similar adhere to the surface, remove them with gloves or a pair of tweezers. Be
careful that the roller surface is not damaged by the points of the tweezers.

(1) Check the components in the drive section (gears, pulleys, timing belts, etc.). Replace them with
new ones if they are damaged.
(2) Check all the adhesives such as tape and Mylar if they are damaged or have become unstuck.
Replace them with new ones if necessary.
(3) Check the performance of all the switches and sensors. Replace them with new ones if
necessary.
(4) Clean inside the equipment thoroughly.
