b

a

CAUTION

• Do not install the printer in unstable locations, such as unsteady platforms or

inclined floors, or in locations subject to excessive vibrations, as this may cause the
printer to fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury.

xv

• Never block the ventilation slots and louvers on the printer. These openings are

provided for proper ventilation of working parts inside the printer. Blocking these
openings can cause the printer to overheat. Never place the printer on a soft surface,
such as a sofa or rug.

• Do not install the printer in the following locations:

- A damp or dusty location

- A location exposed to smoke and steam such as cookeries and humidifiers.

- A location exposed to rain or snow.

- A location near water faucets or water

- A location exposed to direct sunlight

- A location subject to high temperatures

- A location near open flames

• When installing the printer, gently lower the printer onto the floor or other machine to

avoid catching your hands, as this may result in personal injury.

• When connecting the interface cable, connect it properly according to this guide. If

not connected properly, this may result in malfunction or electrical shock.

• When moving the printer, follow the instructions in this manual to hold it correctly.

Failure to do so may cause you to drop the printer, resulting in personal injury.

Power Supply

WARNING

• Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the

power cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical damage
and result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the power

cord coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands, as this may result in

electrical shock.

• Do not connect the power cord to a multiplug power strip, as this may cause a fire or

electrical shock.

• Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or

electrical shock.

• Insert the power plug completely into the power outlet, as failure to do so may result

in a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not use power cords other than the power cord provided, as this may result in a

fire or electrical shock.

• As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in

a fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated
for voltages of AC 230 V and over, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug
completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the
power cord and the extension cord.

xvi

CAUTION

• Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified herein, as this

may result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Always grasp the power plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling on the

power cord may expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.

• Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If

objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an
emergency.

Handling

WARNING

• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the printer. There are high-temperature and

high-voltage components inside the printer which may result in a fire or electrical
shock.

• Electrical equipment can be hazardous if not used properly. To avoid injury, do not

allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not let them
touch any electrical contacts or gears that are exposed.

• If the printer makes strange noises, or emits smoke, heat or unusual smells,

immediately turn OFF the main power switch, and unplug the power plug from the
outlet. Then, contact your service representative or the shop that you purchased this
product. Continued use of the printer in this condition may result in a fire or electrical
shock.

• Do not use highly flammable sprays near the printer. If gas from these sprays comes

into contact with the electrical components inside the printer, it may result in a fire or
electrical shock.

• To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn OFF the

main power switch, and unplug the interface cable when moving the printer.
Otherwise, the power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in a fire or
electrical shock.

• Do not drop paper clips, staples, or other metal objects inside the printer. Also, do

not spill water, liquids, or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner,
etc.) inside the printer. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the printer, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped
or spilled inside the printer, immediately turn OFF the main power switch, and
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Then, contact your service
representative or the shop that you purchased this product.

• When unplugging the USB cable while the power switch is ON, do not touch the metal

part of the connector. This may lead to electrical shock.

CAUTION

• Do not place heavy objects on the printer, as they may tip over or fall resulting in

personal injury.

• When handling the expansion board be careful not to cut your hands by touching the

corner and sharp parts.

Maintenance and Inspections

xviii

WARNING

• When cleaning the printer, first turn off the main power switch, then unplug the power

plug. 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

he 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 printer 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 printer, it may result in a fire or electrical
shock.

• There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When

removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this
may result in burns or electrical shock.

• Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges and drum cartridge into open flames, as

this may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns
or a fire.

CAUTION

• Never attempt to service this printer yourself, except as explained in this manual.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Adjust only those controls that
are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment could result in
personal injury and/or damage requiring extensive repair that may not be covered
under your Limited Warranty.

• The fuser unit and its surroundings inside the printer may become hot during use.

When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not
touch the fuser unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or
electrical shock.

• When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, drum 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 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 printer, 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 used toner cartridges from the toner cartridge slot, remove the

cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and entering your eyes or
mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold
water and immediately consult a physician.

• Do not store toner cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this

may cause the toner or paper to ignite and result in burns or a fire.

CAUTION

Keep toner and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items
