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 650 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 connection, and 185 meters (607 feet) or less for the Ethernet interface 10BASE- 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 the maintenance procedures.

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

rinter smokes, prints

abnormally, becomes wet, or falls. Then consult your dealer.

Preparing the Print Unit and Installing the Toner Bottle

This printer is shipped with the print unit mounted and 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.

Notice:

Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires to avoid possible electrostatic damage to the printer.

Be careful with the print unit’s drum (the green surface). The drum is easily damaged by contamination or by exposure to light for more

than three minutes. Follow these guidelines:

Never touch or scratch the drum surface.

When the print unit is not in the printer, store it in a dark place or

cover it with a clean sheet of paper.

When the print unit is in the printer, keep the printer top cover closed. If you must work inside the printer for more than three minutes, remove the print unit with the toner bottle mounted and store it in a dark place.
