Safety instructions
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions that should be taken to avoid personal injury or damaging the printer:
•Read this setup guide carefully and save it for future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction labels on the printer itself.
•Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean the printer.
•Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the printer is placed on something unsteady, it may fall and become damaged or injure someone. If the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked causing the printer to overheat.
•Do not put the printer on or near a heat source, such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.
English
•Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid of any kind into it.
•Make sure that the power source matches the rating listed on the back of the printer. If you are not sure, check with your dealer or with your local power company.
•This printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety feature and will only connect to an earthed outlet. If this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet, then it is possible that the power outlet is of the older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an adapter to defeat the earthing.
•To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed, replace it immediately.
•If an extension cable or power strip is being used with the printer, make sure that the total of the amperage rating required by all the equipment is less than the rating of the extension cable or power strip. The total ratings of all equipment plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13 amperes.
User’s Guide |
1 |
•The power outlet into which the printer is connected must remain accessible at all times.
•Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces. These are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.
•Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a fire.
•Aside from the routine maintenance described in this user’s guide, do not try to service the printer yourself. Opening a cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards.
•Do not make any adjustments other than those outlined in this users guide as damaged may be caused to the printer.
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not working properly or has been damaged, disconnect the printer from the power source and contact your dealer. These are some of the things to look for:
•The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
•Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been exposed to water.
•The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is damaged.
•The printer does not function normally when following the operating instructions.
Toner cartridge and image drum handling
•Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in their packages until needed. When replacing a toner cartridge or image unit, reuse the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge or image drum unit.
•Do not expose the toner cartridges and image drum units to light for more than five minutes. Never expose the green drum (inside the image drum unit) to direct sunlight.
•Always hold the image drum unit by the ends - never by the middle. Never touch the green drum inside the image drum unit.
•To avoid damage to the image drum unit, always use original toner cartridges.
•Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge. Do not let it touch your clothing or porous materials. The toner powder causes permanent stains.

English
•Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or clothing can be readily removed with soap and cold water. Using heated water will make removing the stain much more difficult.
Emergency first aid
•IF TONER IS SWALLOWED: Induce vomiting and seek medical attention. Never attempt to induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious.
•IF TONER IS INHALED: Take the person to an open area for fresh air. Seek medical attention.
•IF TONER GETS IN THE EYES: Flush eyes with large quantities of cool, NOT cold, water for a minimum of 15 minutes keeping eyelids open with fingers. Seek medical attention.
