Operating Environment

The environmental requirements for operating the system are as follows:

Temperature: 10 °C to 35 °C (50 °F to 95 °F) with a fluctuation of 10 °C (18°F) per hour.
Humidity: 15% to 85% with a fluctuation of 20% per hour.

Using the Printer

To ensure the optimum performance of the printer, follow the precautions listed 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.
For a comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the
room be well ventilated.

Care of Printer Supplies

Use the following precautions when handling the printer supplies (Imaging Cartridge, paper,
etc.).

 Avoid storing the supplies in any of the following places:

• A place subject to direct sunlight. The Imaging Cartridge should not be exposed to flu­orescent light, either.

• A hot place or near an open flame.

• A humid place.

• A dusty place.

 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.
