To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below.
Never place a heavy object on the copier.
Never subject the copier to shocks.
Never open any doors or turn the copier off while the copier is making copies.
Never bring any magnetized object near the copier.
Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the copier.
Never modify the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The copier contains high voltage components
which can cause electrical shock.
Never tamper with the laser mechanism on laser-equipped models, as blindness or other injury may
result.
Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal through the vents or other openings in
the copier, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
Never place containers of liquid on the copier. If liquids get inside the copier, they can cause fire or
electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the copier, immediately turn the copier
off, unplug the po wer cord and call your techn ical representativ e. A fi re or electrical shock can result if
the copier remains plugged in or is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.
Never leave the copier running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smoke or an unusual odor or noise is
detected. Should any of these conditions occur , immediately turn the copier of f, unp lug the po wer cord
and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the copier remains
plugged in under any of these conditions.
Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.
Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous co pies.
Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when unplugging the power cord. A damaged
cord could result in a fire or cause an electrical shock.
Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an electrical shock.
Always unplug the power cord before moving the copier. Moving the copier with the power cord
plugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an electrical shock.
Always unplug the power cord when the copier is not going to be used for a long time.
Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pu ll or b end it, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
Always ensure that the copier does not sit on or move onto the power cord or communications cable of
other electrical equipment, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.
Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other electrical equipment does not
become wedged into the copier mechanism, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.
Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can cause a fire or electrical shock.
Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
Should the power cord become damaged, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord and
call your technical representative. A damaged cord can result in a fire or cause an electric shock.
If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacity than the maximum power requirements of the copier. The use of an extension cord that falls short of supporting the maximum power
requirements can result in overheating or a fire
Always unplug the copier whene ver anyth ing unusual is observed du ring operation. Make sure that the
outlet is nearby and clear of the copier and furniture.
NOTE
=Locate the Copier in a Well Ventilated Room=
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this copier. An unpleasant odor
may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive copier operations. For a
comfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be well
ventilated.
Remarque
=Placer le copieur dans une pièce largement ventilée=
Une quantité d’ozone négligeble est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du copieur quand celui-ci est
utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dont
l’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation prolongée du copieur est effectuée. Pour avoir la
certitude de travailler dans un environnment réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité,
il est préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le copieur.

What is an Energy Star Copier ?
Energy Star Copiers have a feature that allows them to automatically turn off or “go to sleep” after a
period of inactivity, ensuring night and weekend shut off. This auto-feature can reduce a copier’s annual
electricity costs by over 60 percent. In addition, high speed copiers will be set to automatically make double sided copies. An organization's paper costs can be reduced and the volume of paper sent into the
waste stream will decline. It takes 10 times more energy to produce a piece of paper than it does to make
a single copy on a copier. Therefore, using less paper also means decreased national energy co nsump tion.
Recycled Paper (USA market only)
Your Minolta Copier has been designed to use the following Recycled Paper
