B. Installing space
The following space must be provided around the machine in order to
assure machine performances and proper operations.
If any option is installed, provide the additional space for installing it.
Especially the space at the rear of the machine must be provided suffi-
ciently. If not, the machine cannot exhibit functions against heat and

A. Implements, facility, and manpower

It is recommendable to use a forklift for bringing in the machine for
safety.
If no forklift is available, manpower of four or more persons is required.
The machine is considerably heavy, and requires safety precautions
for delivery and installation.

If the machine is installed under the rays of the sun, the exterior of the
machine may be discolored and abnormal copies may be produced. B. Delivery
Remove the packing materials prior to installation in the ofice environ-
ment.

3. Unpacking
A. Unpacking procedure
1) Remove the PP band.
2) Remove the top case.
3) Remove the internal packing pads and the items packed together
with the machine.

(4) Gases and chemicals

Do not install the machine at a place where there are gases and chem-
icals. Especially be careful to avoid installation near a diazo-type
copier, which produces ammonium gas.
Copy quality may be adversely affected and a trouble may be caused.

(5) Vibration
Avoid installation near a machine which produces vibrations.
If vibrations are applied to the copier machine, copy images may be
deflected and a trouble may be caused.

(For the kinds of paper and special paper, refer to the specifications of
this manual.)
2) Close the front cabinet. 1) Pull out the tray 3 and the tray 4 until they stop.
3) Press START key to execute the simulation. Toner is stirred for 3
minutes, and sampling of the toner density control sensor value is
repeated 16 times. The average level of the sensor detection level
is set (stored) as the reference toner density control value.
2 Note: The 70-sheet machine (AR-M700N/U) performs resetting after
normal completion of toner concentration control level setting
operation (3 min) by SIM25-2, and supplies toner during warm-
ing up when the fuser heater lamp is turned ON in order to
increase the toner concentration level by 0.5%.
2) Supply paper so that the specified line is not exceeded.
When there is some toner in the intermediate hopper, the above
toner supply operation is completed in about 90 sec.
Since the warming-up time of fusing is within 2 min, the machine
goes to the print ready state in 1 min 30 sec or 2 min.
When, however, there is no toner in the intermediate hopper (on
installation, etc.), toner is supplied from the toner bottle to the
developing unit and it takes more time than the above to reach
the specified toner concentration level, that is, it takes about 200
sec for the machine to go to the print ready state.

The tray 1 is for A4 or 8-1/2" x 11" paper, and the tray 2 is for A4 or B5
or 8-1/2" x 11" paper. (The factory setting of the tray 2 is B5.)
1) Pull out the tray 1 and the tray 2 until they stop.

(3) Supply paper to the manual paper feed tray.

The manual paper feed tray is for 11" x 17" to 8-1/2" x 11"R size (A3
size to A5R) and special paper.
(For the kinds of paper and special paper, refer to the specifications of
this manual.)
1) Open the manual paper feed tray.

2) Lift the paper guide, and supply paper to the tray 1.

Specified line

After supplying paper, be sure to return the paper guide to the origi-
nal position.
3) Supply paper to the tray 2 similarly.

tray.
If it is not pulled out completely, the size of paper set on the
manual paper feed tray is not displayed properly.
Note: Supply paper so that the paper quantity level does not exceed
the specified line.

8. Preparation for transit

When moving the copier, turn off the power and perform the following
works.
1) Remove the paper from the paper tray.
2) Remove the developing unit from the main unit.
3) Lock the position which was released at installation (see the page
1-5).
4) Remove the adjuster cover, and raise the adjuster (see the page 1-
5).
Note: Since the main unit includes the hard disk drive, be careful not
to apply vibrations and shocks during transit.

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread.
Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.
Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use
soldering iron is recommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is
inferior to conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed
the heat-resistive temperature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is
confirmed.
Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.
If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after
completion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.
