Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the main power switch, then disconnect the power cord.
Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of
the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is
removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky
location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit
and result in a fire.
• Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with water. Do not
use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check detergent for
flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage area inside
the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When removing
jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or
other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in burns or electrical
shock.
• Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining
inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
• The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine
may become hot during use. When removing jammed
paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do
not touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so
may result in burns or electrical shock.
• When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner
cartridge, take care not to allow the toner to come into
contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your
hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them
immediately with cold water. Washing them with warm
water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove
the toner stains.
• When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the jammed paper
gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the
toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult
a physician.
• When loading paper or removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on the
edges of the originals or paper.
• When removing a used toner cartridge, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from
scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them
immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
xvii
Consumables
WARNING
• Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining
inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
• Do not store toner cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the
toner or paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
• When discarding used toner cartridges, put the cartridges in a bag to prevent the toner remaining
inside the cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them in a location away from open flames.
CAUTION
Keep toner and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested,
consult a physician immediately.
