This printer uses laser technology. The following list of
precautions applies whenever you open the printer cover. Even
if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to follow
these precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation:
❏ Do not touch the areas specified on the caution labels inside

Safety Instructions

❏ Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless
instructed to do so in this guide.
❏ Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the
printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage
it.
❏ Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you
remove the imaging cartridge from the printer, always set the
unit on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching the
drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its
surface and may affect print quality.
❏ Do not turn the cartridge upside down or stand it on its ends.
❏ Protect the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light. Avoid
exposing the imaging cartridge to room light any longer than
necessary. Do not open the drum’s protective cover.
Overexposing the drum may cause abnormally dark or light
areas to appear on the printed page and reduce the service life
of the drum.
