1.5.2 MACHINE BODY
!
CAUTION
Fix the transfer belt in its position before moving the machine, otherwise
the transfer belt and the black PCU may be damaged.
Before transporting the machine for both short and long hauls, return it to its
original condition.
1. Remove the toner cartridges to prevent toner from flowing into the toner supply
tube due to vibrations experienced during transport. This may cause the tube to
be clogged with toner.
2. Put air packing into the toner cartridge holder to shield the toner supply
entrance. This prevents toner from flowing out to the toner cartridge holder.
3. Set the lock pin (which comes with the machine) in the transfer belt unit.
NOTE:
The lower end of the transfer belt moves. The surfaces of the belt and
PCU may be damaged by the friction between them if you transport the
machine without locking the belt.
4. Make sure there is no paper left in the paper trays and fix down the bottom
plates with a sheet of paper and tape.
5. Empty out the waste toner bottle and attach securing tape to prevent the bottle
from coming out.
6. Empty out the waste oil bottle and attach securing tape to prevent the bottle
from coming out.
7. Turn the release lever [A] counterclockwise to its lowermost position. (The lever
does not stay in this position if you do not hold it.) Stick the lever in this position
with tape.
NOTE:
The release lever lifts the transfer belt up and presses it against the
black PCU. The surfaces of the belt and PCU may be damaged by the
friction between them if you transport the machine with the two units in
this position.
