2) General Precautions at Service

- Be sure to turn the power OFF and unplug the power cable during service (except for the service 

should be done with the power turned ON).

- Unplug the power cable and clean the area around the prongs of the plug and socket outlet once 

a year or more. A fire may occur when dust lies on this area.

- When the parts are disassembled, reassembly is the reverse of disassembly unless otherwise 

noted in this manual or other related documents. Be careful not to install small parts such as 
screws, washers, pins, E-rings, star washers in the wrong places.

- Basically, the equipment should not be operated with any parts removed or disassembled.
- The PC board must be stored in an anti-electrostatic bag and handled carefully using a wristband 

since the ICs on it may be damaged due to static electricity.

- Avoid expose to laser beam during service. This equipment uses a laser diode. Be sure not to 

expose your eyes to the laser beam. Do not insert reflecting parts or tools such as a screwdriver 
on the laser beam path. Remove all reflecting metals such as watches, rings, etc. before starting 
service.

- Be sure not to touch high-temperature sections such as the exposure lamp, fuser unit, damp 

heater and areas around them.

- Be sure not to touch high-voltage sections such as the chargers, transfer belt, 2nd transfer roller, 

developer, IH control circuit, high-voltage transformer, exposure lamp control inverter, inverter for 
the LCD backlight and power supply unit. Especially, the board of these components should not 
be touched since the electric charge may remain in the capacitors, etc. on them even after the 
power is turned OFF.

- Make sure that the equipment will not operate before touching potentially dangerous places (e.g. 

rotating/operating sections such as gears, belts pulleys, fans and laser beam exit of the laser 
optical unit).

- Be careful when removing the covers since there might be the parts with very sharp edges 

underneath.

- When servicing the equipment with the power turned ON, be sure not to touch live sections and 

rotating/operating sections. Avoid exposing your eyes to laser beam.

- Use designated jigs and tools.
- Use recommended measuring instruments or equivalents.
- Return the equipment to the original state and check the operation when the service is finished.

3) Important Service Parts for Safety

- The breaker, door switch, fuse, thermostat, thermofuse, thermistor, IC-RAMs including lithium 

batteries, etc. are particularly important for safety. Be sure to handle/install them properly. If 
these parts are short-circuited and their functions become ineffective, they may result in fatal 
accidents such as burnout. Do not allow a short-circuit or do not use the parts not recommended 
by Toshiba TEC Corporation.

4) Cautionary Labels

- During servicing, be sure to check the rating plate and cautionary labels such as “Unplug the 

power cable during service”, “CAUTION. HOT”, “CAUTION. HIGH VOLTAGE”, “CAUTION. 
LASER BEAM”, etc. to see if there is any dirt on their surface and if they are properly stuck to the 
equipment.
