If a puzzling or recurring problem occurs, check the following before calling a service representa-
tive. It’s also a good idea to check the Do’s and Don’ts section on page 59 to make sure the paper
and originals match what the copier can handle.
p
Is the main switch on?
p
Is the cord plugged in?
p
Did a breaker or a fuse blow out?
p
Check the indicators on the control panel. If any of them are lit, turn to page 49. Check that all
covers and units are closed.
p
Is your paper creased, damp, or otherwise damaged? See page 10.
p
Are there visible bits of paper or other objects stuck in the machine? If there are, remove them.
p
Are you inserting the paper and original in straight? Always feed paper in straight.
p
Are copies too dark or too light? Adjust the density (see page 27).
p
Is the background dirty no matter what kind of original you are copying? Make sure the
exposure glass and platen are clean (see page 58).
p
Is the image skewed? Make sure to insert the paper and the original straight into the machine.
If you have the Original and Copy Guides (option), use them.
p
On the copy: try setting your copy paper with the other side facing up.
p
At the leading edge: try setting your copy paper sideways.
p
At the trailing edge: try giving a rising curl to the trailing edge. The curl should go up, not down.
