Precautions
Read this section and remember these instructions to ensure your safety and your printer’s correct performance. Follow the cautions and notices labeled on the printer or marked with icons in the manual. Save this manual for future reference.
• Use only the power cord furnished with the printer and a properly grounded outlet. Do not use an extension power cord.
• Confirm that the rated voltage of your printer matches the voltage of your power outlet. The maximum wattage of the printer is 700 watts.
• Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord before beginning maintenance operations.
• Disconnect the power cord from the outlet whenever you are not using the printer for an extended period of time.
• Disconnect the power cord from the outlet whenever thunder storms are nearby. Leaving the power cord connected may allow damage to the printer or other property.
• Do not put the printer in direct sunlight, near a heater, or near water. Leave adequate space around the printer.
• Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires. This could cause electrostatic damage to the printer.
• Do not touch the heat roller and motors if you have been printing recently. These parts may be hot.
• Do not touch or scratch the green drum surface, and do not expose it to light for more than three minutes.
• Use only a shielded interface cable of 3 meters (10 feet) or less for the parallel interface, 15 meters (50 feet) or less for the serial interface, 100 meters (328 feet) or less for Ethernet interface 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connection, and 185 meters (607 feet) or less for the Ethernet interface 10BASE-2 connection.
• Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.
• Do not turn the printer off while it is printing.
• Do not disassemble or remove any components unless instructed in this manual.
• Keep the print unit upright when removing or installing it.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the corona wire when cleaning it.
• Do not use alcohol or other cleaning solutions on the drum surface or on any interior parts of the printer.
• Clear paper jams quickly, especially when they occur in the heat roller unit.
• Do not drop small objects, such as paper clips, into the printer.
• Do not set page margins off the physically printable page area.
• Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord immediately if an abnormal condition occurs: for instance, if the printer smokes, prints abnormally, becomes wet, or falls. Then consult your dealer.

Getting Ready
Getting Ready
This section will help you:
• Choose a suitable location for the printer
• Inventory the parts of the printer as you unpack it
Picking a Suitable Location
The first step is to pick a suitable location for your printer. For peak performance and usability, follow these guidelines:
• Place the printer on a sturdy, level surface.
• Do not tilt the printer 5 degrees or more in any direction. Doing so may cause toner to spill or cause other malfunctions.
• Choose a room that is well ventilated and free of excessive dust. Leave 20 cm space on the left side of the printer for proper ventilation.
• To avoid exposing the printer to extremes of temperature, do not put the printer in direct sunlight or near a heater.

°C
°C
from 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Humidity should
be between 30% and 70% RH (no condensation).
Caution:
Do not rapidly warm the printer room, which has been cooled
☞
enough, using a heater. Otherwise, condensation may occur inside the printer mechanism and cause the printer to fail in performing normal printing. Wait until the printer gets accustomed to the room temperature.
Getting Ready
• Use a grounded AC power outlet. Do not use a three­pronged adapter in an ungrounded outlet.
• Use only the power cord furnished with the printer. Do not use an extension cord.
Warning:
!
For your safety from an electric shock, observe the above prohibition.
• Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer.

room: If tap water or well water is used in a supersonic humidifier, water impurities ejected into the air settle inside the printer, thus causing image errors. Use water free from impurities such as pure water.
To operate the printer smoothly, take sufficient spaces around the printer. See the figure below:

Preparing the Print Unit and Installing the Toner Bottle
This printer is shipped with a print unit and a toner bottle. The print unit is mounted in the printer with protective materials attached. Be sure to remove the two protective materials from the print unit. This operation is possible with the print unit mounted. First prepare and install the following two components:
• Print unit (photoconductor drum, developing unit, etc.)
• Toner bottle
The toner bottle first installed after you purchase the printer or a new print unit will last about 2500 printed pages under the condition of 5% coverage on A4 paper. The succeeding toner bottles last about 5000 printed pages each.
Caution:
☞
• Do not expose the print unit to direct rays of the sun or strong lights.
• Do not work for print unit attachment at a place exposed to strong lights. Make every effort to finish work within five minutes.
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductor drum.
• Do not place the print unit upright or up side down.
• Toner is harmless for human body. However, if it sticks to your hand or clothing, wash it away immediately.
