Installation and operation precautions

Disassemble and modification

WARNING

• Do not attempt to remove the covers and panels which have been fixed to the product. Some products have a high-voltage part or a laser beam source inside that could cause an electrical shock or blindness.

• Do not modify this product, as a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown could result. If the product employs a laser, the laser beam source could cause blindness.

Power cord

WARNING

• Use only the power cord supplied in the package. If a power cord is not supplied, only use the power cord and plug that is specified in POWER CORD INSTRUCTION. Failure to use this cord could result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Use the power cord supplied in the package only for this machine and NEVER use it for any other product. Failure to observe this precaution could result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist, bend, pull on, or damage the power cord. Use of a damaged power cord (exposed core wire, broken wire, etc.) could result in a fire or breakdown. Should any of these conditions be found, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service representative.

C250P 1-3

Installation and operation precautions

Power source

WARNING

• Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do that could result in a fire or electrical shock.

• Connect power plug directly into wall outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Use of an adapter leads to the product connecting to inadequate power supply (voltage, current capacity, grounding), and may result in fire or shock. If proper wall outlet is not available, the customer shall ask qualified electrician for the installation.

• Do not use a multiple outlet adapter nor an extension cord in principle. Use of an adapter or an extension cord could cause a fire or electrical shock. Contact your authorized service representative if an extension cord is required.

• Consult your authorized service representative before connecting other equipment on the same wall outlet. Overload could result in a fire.

CAUTION

• The outlet must be near the equipment and easily accessible. Otherwise you can not pull out the power plug when an emergency occurs.

C250P 1-4

Installation and operation precautions

Power plug

WARNING

• Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with a wet hand, as an electrical shock could result.

• Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do this could result in a fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

• Do not tug the power cord when unplugging. Pulling on the power cord could damage the cord, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.

• Remove the power plug from the outlet more than one time a year and clean the area between the plug terminals. Dust that accumulates between the plug terminals may cause a fire.

Grounding

WARNING

• Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet that is equipped with a grounding terminal.

C250P 1-5

C250P 1-7

Installation and operation precautions

Consumables

WARNING

• Do not throw the toner cartridge or toner into an open flame. The hot toner may scatter and cause burns or other damage.

CAUTION

• Do not leave a toner unit or drum unit in a place within easy reach of children. Licking or ingesting any of these things could injure your health.

• Do not store toner units and PC drum units near a floppy disk or watch that are susceptible to magnetism. They could cause these products to malfunction.

When moving the machine

CAUTION

• Whenever moving this product, be sure to disconnect the power cord and other cables. Failure to do this could damage the cord or cable, resulting in a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown.
