Energy Star A voluntary program introduced by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) intended to encourage the use of energy-
efficient technologies in the workplace. Requirements to qualify for
certification vary based on the speed of a Copier. For specifics on your
Copier, check the Specifications section of this Guide.
Exit Tray A tray attached to the output end of the copier to collect copies. This tray
is usually removed when a Sorter or Finisher is installed. In this case, the
top tray of the Sorter or Finisher serves as the Exit Tray.
Exposure Glass The glass surface located under the Document Cover or Document
Feeder. The original is placed here to make a copy. If an RADF is present,
it transports the original to this location. Once here, the original is
exposed by the Exposure Lamp located directly below the glass.
Exposure Lamp The light source located directly below the Exposure Glass. It is the light
from this lamp that exposes the original, reflects off the original, travels
through the optics and exposes the Drum.
Exposure Pad A Pad located on the bottom side of a Document Cover used to hold an
original in place on the Exposure Glass during the exposure process.
Factory Default A setting in the copier that is set at the factory. You can change some of
these settings. Others can be changed by a Service Technician. See also
Initial Setting.
Front Cover The Cover located at the front of the copier designed to allow access to
the interior of the copier. This allows the operator to add supplies, remove
paper misfeeds, or perform other maintenance as prescribed by the
Operator Guide.
Fused Toner The image, usually black, that adheres to the surface of the copy paper.
This Toner is “Fused” to the surface of the paper using pressure and heat.
Fuser Assembly The unit located inside the exit area of the copier that provides heat and
pressure to attach the toner to the paper surface.
Fuser Cleaning Pad In certain copiers, it is necessary to clean toner residue and paper dust
from the Fuser Rollers. This provides extended life of the Rollers and
cleaner copies. At certain intervals, this pad must be replaced.
Graphic Display A Display that shows icons related to service or supply related error
condition. In some copiers, these icons may be incorporated into a graphic
representation of the copier to show the approximate position of an error.
Gray Scale A term referring to the shades of gray between the black and the white
areas on an original or copy. Normal copies reduce the shades of gray to
produce very dense blacks and clean whites. During the photo copy
modes, the copier is set to reproduce the shades of gray more faithfully,
but usually at the expense of the black density.
