To ensure optimum performance of the printer, follow the precautions listed below.
• Never place a heavy object on the printer.
• Never subject the printer to shocks.
• Never open any doors or turn the printer off while the printer is making prints.
• Never bring any magnetized object near the printer.
• Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the printer.
• Never modify the printer, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
• Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The printer contains high voltage
components which can cause electrical shock.
• Never tamper with the laser mechanism in 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 printer, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
• Never place containers of liquid on the printer. If liquids get inside the printer, they
can cause fire or electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the
printer, immediately turn the printer off, unplug the power cord and call your technical
representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the printer remains plugged in or
is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.
• Never leave the printer 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
printer off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or
electrical shock can result if the printer 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 printer or printer cabinet.
• Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous prints.
• 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 printer. Moving the printer 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 printer is not going to be used for a long time.
• Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a fire or electrical
shock can result.
• Always ensure that the printer does not sit on or ride on 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 printer mechanism, as malfunctioning
equipment or a fire could result.

Using the Printer Properly
• 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 printer 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 printer. 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 printer whenever anything unusual is observed during operation.
Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of the printer and furniture.
=Locate the Printer in a Well Ventilated Room=
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this printer. An
unpleasant odor may, however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive
printer operations. For a comfortable, healthy and safe operating environment, it is
recommended that the room be well ventilated.
=Placer le l’appareil dans une pièce largement ventilée=
Une quantité d’ozone négligeble est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement du l’appareil
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 l’appareil est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans un
environnement réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est
préférable de bien aérer la pièce ou se trouve le l’appareil.

Safety Precautions
Safety Information
This is a digital printer which prints by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser,
provided the printer is operated according to the instructions in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housing, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product. This means the printer does not produce hazardous
laser radiation.

• Click this icon to display any current error messages on the
Summary page of the printer driver screen.
• If the icon is red with black stripes, the Di620PE is powered
off.
(3) When the printer enters the print-ready state, the icon will turn light green. The power indicator
(green) on the panel will be on.
• If the icon is dark green, the PlintLink is powered off or the
interface is disconnected.
However, the printing operation cannot be performed even if data from the computer is sent at this time.
A warm-up time of approximately seven minutes (at a room temperature of 20ºC (68ºF)) is required
before printing can be performed.
NOTE
If the fusing temperature drops excessively during a multi-print cycle, there is a possibility that the
