Using the Copier Properly

To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautionslisted below.

� Never place a heavy object on the copier.

� Never subject the copier to shocks.

� Never open doors or turn the copier off while he is making copies.

� Never bring any magnetized object near the copier.

� Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the copier.

� Never modify the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.

� Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The copiercontains high voltage components which can cause electrical shock.

� Never tamper with the laser mechanism in laser-equipped models, asblindness or other injury may result.

� Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal throughthe vents or other openings in the copier, as a fire or electrical shockcan result.

� Never place containers of liquid on the copier. If liquids get inside thecopier, they can cause fire or electrical shock. If a piece of metal or anyliquid gets inside the copier, immediately turn the copier off, unplug thepower cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electricalshock can result if the copier remains plugged in or is operated aftermetal or liquid gets inside.

� Never leave the copier running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smokeor an unusual odor or noise is detected. Should any of theseconditions occur, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the powercord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shockcan result if the copier remains plugged in under any of theseconditions.

� Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.

� Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copiercabinet.

� Always provide good ventilation when making a large number ofcontinuous copies.

� Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug whenunplugging the power cord. A damaged cord could result in a fire orcause an electrical shock.

� Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause anelectrical shock.

� Always unplug the power cord before moving the copier. Moving thecopier with the power cord plugged in can damage the cord resultingin a fire or causing an electrical shock.

EP1054 X-1

Page 6: Copiator Konica Minolta EP 1054

� Always unplug the power cord when the copier is not going to be usedfor a long time.

� Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as afire or electrical shock can result.

� Always ensure that the copier does not sit on or move onto the powercord or communications cable of other electrical equipment, asmalfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.

� Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of otherelectrical equipment does not become wedged into the copiermechanism, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.

� Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can causea fire or electrical shock.

� Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock canresult.

� Should the power cord become damaged, immediately turn the copieroff, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. Adamaged cord can result in a fire or cause an electric shock.

� If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacitythan the maximum power requirements of the copier. The use of anextension cord that falls short of supporting the maximum powerrequirements can result in overheating or a fire

� Always unplug the copier whenever anything unusual is observedduring operation. Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of thecopier and furniture.

NOTE

Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room� A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of

this copier. An unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorlyventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For acomfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it isrecommended that the room be well ventilated.

Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée� Une quantité d’ozone négligeble est dégagée pendant le fonction-

nement du copieur quand celui-ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant,une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dontl’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation prolongée du copieurest effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans unenvironnment réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et desécurité, il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur.

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, wehave determined that this copier meetsthe ENERGY STAR® Guidelines forenergy efficiency.

What is an Energy Star Copier ?

Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turnoff or “go to sleep” after a period of inactivity, ensuring night and weekendshut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copier’s annual electricity costsby over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set toautomatically make double sided copies. An organization’s paper costscan be reduced and the volume of paper sent into the waste stream willdecline. It takes 10 times more energy to produce a piece of paper than itdoes to make a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper alsomeans decreased national energy consumption.

Terms and Symbols for the Type of Originals and Copy Paper

A few special terms and symbols are used in this manual to designatetypes of originals and copy paper. This page explains about these termsand symbols.

Feeding Direction (copy paper path)

In this copier system, copy paper is taken up from the right-hand side ofthe copier and fed through the copier toward the left-hand side, out faceup onto the Exit Tray. In the figure below, the direction in which the copypaper is fed, as indicated by the arrow, is called the “feeding direction.”

“Width” and “Length”

When we talk about the size of theoriginal or copy, we call side A “width”and side B “length.”

A: WidthB: Length

Page 10: Copiator Konica Minolta EP 1054

Terms and Symbols Used

� Lengthwise

When the original or copy has a “length”longer than its “width,” we call it“lengthwise” and use symbol “L” or“ “.

� Crosswise

When the original or copy has a “length”shorter than its “width,” we call it“crosswise” and use symbol “C” or “ ”

4.2 Toner Replenisher Function(Increasing the Image Density)The copier tends to exhaust the supplyof toner rapidly when making a numberof copies from an original with dark solidareas. As a result, the image density ofthe copy will become lighter. In such acase, you can use the TonerReplenisher function to regain thenormal image density quickly.

Even if you continue making copies after the image density has becomelighter, the copier will gradually recover the normal image density. TheToner Replenisher Mode can, however, be used to obtain the normalimage density more quickly.

� Press the Auxiliary TonerReplenishing Key.

This causes the copier to initiatetoner replenishing, which lasts for90 seconds at maximum.
