Using the printer

Care of the printer supplies

To ensure the best performance of the printer, follow the precautions
below:

• NEVER open any cover, or turn OFF the printer during printing.

• NEVER bring any magnetized object or flammable gas or liquid close to

the printer.

• ALWAYS insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.

• ALWAYS provide good ventilation when making a large number of

continuous prints.

NOTE: Locate the printer in a well ventilated room. A minimal amount

of ozone is generated during normal operation of the printer. An
unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated
rooms during extensive printer operations.

When handling the printer supplies (imaging cartridge, paper, etc.), avoid
storing the supplies in any of the following places:

• Any place subject to direct sunlight. The imaging cartridge should not be

exposed to fluorescent light.

• A hot, humid or dusty place or near an open flame.

In addition:

• Store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded

onto the print tray, in a sealed plastic bag in a cool, dark place.

• Only use imaging cartridges that are exclusively designed for use with

this printer.

• Keep supplies out of the reach of children.

• If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water

immediately.

NOTE: Immediately wrap the imaging cartridge in a heavy cloth to protect

it from the light whenever it is removed from the printer.

A-61316 September 2004 4-3
