Foreword
Safety Information
Laser S afet y
This is a page printer which operates 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 hous-
ing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user
operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power:
0.6 mW at laser aperture of the print head unit
Wavelength:
770–810 nm
This product employs Class
III
b Laser Diode that emits an invisible laser beam.
Laser Diode and Scanning Polygon Mirror are incorporated in the print head unit.
The print head unit is not a field service item.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstance.
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class
I
Laser product under the
U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Radiation Performance Standard according
to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the
printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
En-5
English
CDRH Regulations
The
Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH)
of the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976.
Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. The label
shown below indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must be
attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
Laser Safety Label
Caution
• Use of controls , adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
in this manual may result in hazar dous radiation exposure.

Ozone R elease
During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not
large enough to harm anyone adversely. However, be sure the room where the

Installation Precautions
Note the following important precautions when selecting a location for the printer
and when connecting it to a power source.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
A proper location helps to ensure that your printer provides you with the long ser-
vice life for which it is designed. Double-check to make sure that the location you
select has the following characteristics.
• Choose a location that is well -ventilated.
• Make sure there is no chance of ammonia or other organic gasses bei ng gen er-
ated in the area.
• The power outlet you plan to connect to for power sho uld be nearby and unob-
structed.
• Make sure that the print er is not exposed to dire ct sunl ight.
• Avoid areas in the direct airflow of air condit ioners, heaters, or ventilators, and
areas subjected to t emp erature and humidity ex tremes.
• Choose a sturdy, level surface where the printer will not be exposed to strong
vibration.
• Keep the printer aw ay from any objects that might bloc k its heat vents.
• Do not locate the printer near curtains or other combustible objects.
• Choose an area where there is no possibility of the printer being splashed with
water or other liquids.
• Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
Power Source
The following are the power source requirements for this printer.
Power supply:
220–240 V at 50–60 Hz
Voltage fluctuation:
220–240 V
±
10%
Frequency fluctuation:
Within
±
3 Hz
En-14
English
Grounding
Always ground the printer to guard against the danger of electrical shock. To
ground the printer, connect the grounding wire to the ground terminal of the electri-
cal outlet you are plugging in to or to a grounding contact that complies with local
electrical standards in your area.
Note
• Use a power source wit h minimal voltage and frequency fluctu ati on.
• Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this printer.
• Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into t he outlet. The outlet should be located
near the printer and be easily accessible so you can unplug the power cord immedi-
ately should any problem occur.
• Make sure the outlet you use is visi ble, and not hidden behind the printer or any other
object.
• If any other electrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet , make sure that the
capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
• If you use an extension cord, make sure its capacity is greater than the power con-
sumption of the prin ter. Using an extensi on cord with a lower capacity creates the dan-
ger of fire.
• Never use a multiple soc ket to connect other appliances or machines to the same out-
let being used to power the printer.
Note
• Neve r connect the grounding wire to a gas pip e, the gro unding wire for a telephone, or
to a water pipe.

Printer
The following describes precaut ions f or using the printer.
• Never turn the printer off or open any of it s covers during a pri nt operation.
• Never place flammable gasses, liquids or objects that generate magnetic forces
near the printer.
• When unplugging the power cord, always grasp the plug and never pull on the
cord. A damaged cord creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Never touch the power cord when y our hands are wet. Doing so creates the dan-
ger of electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord before moving the printer. Failure to do so can
damage the power cor d, creating the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord if you do not pla n to use the printer f or a long time.
• Never try to remove any secured panel or cover. The interior of the printer con-
tains high-voltage circuitry which crea tes the danger of electrical sh ock when
exposed.
• Never try to modify the print er. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical
shock.
• Never place any heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it or bend it. Doing so
creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Always make sure the pri nter is not pl aced on the electr ical cord or the communi-
cations cables of any other electrical equipment. Also make sure that cords and
cables do not get into the printer’s mechanism. Any of these condit ions create
the danger of malfunction and fi re.
En-17
English
• Always take care so that paper clips, staples, or other small pieces of metal do
not get into the printer through its vents or other openings. Such objects create
the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not allow water or other l iquids to spill on or near the printer. Fire or electrical
shock can occur should wate r or liquid come into contact with the print er.
• Should liquid or any piece of metal accidentl y get insi de the printer, immediately
turn it off, unplug the power cord, and contact your dealer. Failure to take this
immediate action creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Whenever the printer emits unusually high amounts of heat, smoke, an unusual
odor , or noise, immediatel y turn i t off, unplug it, and contact y our dealer . Failure
to take this immediat e action creates the danger of fir e or electrical shock.
Caution
• Be sure to locate the printer in a well-ventilated location. A minim al amount of ozone is
generated duri ng normal operation of this printer. Because of this, an unpleasant odor
may result when the printer is used for extensive printing in a poorly ventilated area .
For co mfortable, healthy, and safe operati on, be sure to locate the printer in a well-ven-
tilated area.
En-18
English
Printer Su pplies
Note the following precautions when handling printer supplies such as the toner
cartridge, the drum cartridge, and paper.
• Avoid storing printer supplies in the following locations.
• Areas subjected to direc t sunlight . Additional ly, the drum cartridge must be protected
from fluorescent light.
• Areas exp osed to open flame.
• Areas subjected to high humidity.
• Areas subjected to large amounts of dust.
• Keep paper that has been rem oved from its wrap per, but not yet loaded onto the
printer tray, in a sealed plastic bag and store it in a cool , dark location.
• Use only the toner cartridge that is expressly specified for this printer.
• Keep supplies out of the reach of children .
• Should your hands becom e soiled with toner, immediately wash them with soap
and water.
Caution
• Whenever you remov e the drum cartridge from the printer, immediately wra p it wit h a
cloth to protect i t agai nst overexposure to light.
