ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

This chapter explains how to keep the machine operating smoothly, including viewing copy count, and scan count, the toner level indicator, and cleaning the machine.

CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT

COUNT AND TONER LEVEL

CHECKING THE TOTAL OUTPUT COUNT

From the "0" display, you can check the total output count, total copy count, and total scan count as explained below.

The total output count is all pages (for both printing and copying) printed by the machine and the total output count can be counted up to 999,999.

[Total output count]

Hold down the [0] key.

READ-END

The total output count appears in the display while you hold down the key.

The total output count appears sequentially in two parts while you hold down the [0] key.

Example: Total number of pages output is 12,345.

[Total copy count]

Hold down the [READ-END] key ( ).

READ-END

The total copy count appears in the display while you hold down the key.

The count display and counting method are the same as for the total output count.

Note

The total number of pages printed in printer mode can be calculated by subtracting the total copy count from the total output count.

Note

• Each A3 (11" x 17") size page is counted as two pages.

• During a copy run, pressing the [0] key shows the number of completed copy pages, not the total output count.

[Total scan count]

Hold down the [ ] key.

READ-END

The total scan count appears in the display while you hold down the key.

The count display and counting method are the same as for the total output count.

71

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

CHECKING THE TONER LEVEL

The toner level is indicated by a 6-level display. Use it as a guideline for replacing the toner cartridge.

1

Hold down the [Light] key ( ) until the alarm indicators ( , , , , ) blink.

The display will show

"- -".

1 3 5

2

Hold down the [Copy ratio display] key

( ) for more than 5 seconds.

ZOOM

The approximate quantity of toner remaining will be indicated in the display as a percentage. ("100",

"75", "50", "25", "10" is displayed.) When the percentage is less than

10%, "LO" will be displayed.

3

Press the [Light] key ( ) to return to the normal display.

The alarm indicators ( , , , , ) go off.

The display returns to the number of copies display.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE DOCUMENT GLASS AND

SPF/RSPF/DOCUMENT COVER

If the document glass, SPF/RSPF, underside of the document cover, or the scanner for originals coming from the

SPF/RSPF (the long narrow glass surface on the right side of the document glass) become dirty, the dirt may appear on copies. Always keep these parts clean.

Stains or dirt on the document glass/SPF/RSPF will also be copied. Wipe the document glass, document cover portion of the SPF/RSPF and the scanning window on the document glass with a soft, clean cloth.

If necessary, dampen the cloth with water. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar volatile cleaning agents.

Warning

Do not spray flammable cleaner gas.

72

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE BYPASS TRAY PAPER FEED

ROLLER

If misfeeds occur frequently when feeding envelopes, thick paper, etc. through the bypass tray, wipe the paper feed roller at the feed slot of the bypass tray with a soft, clean cloth dampened with alcohol or water.

Paper feed roller

CLEANING THE TRANSFER CHARGER

If copies start becoming streaky or blotchy, the transfer charger may be dirty.

Clean the charger using the following procedure.

1

Turn the power switch off.

2

Open the bypass tray and the side cover.

5

Set the charger cleaner onto the transfer charger and gently slide the cleaner in the direction indicated by the arrow two or three times.

If the white sheet metal is smudged with toner, wipe it with a soft, clean cloth.

3

Lift and pull out the upper paper tray.

Note

Slide the charger cleaner from one end to the other end along the groove of the transfer charger. If the cleaner is stopped on the way, smudges on copies may occur.

6

Return the charger cleaner to its original position. Close the upper paper tray. Close the side cover by pressing the handle on the cover.

7

Turn the power switch on.

7

4

Take the charger cleaner out by holding the tab.
