1.2Working safely with your laser printer

Notes on your safety and operating safety

Working improperly with the printer can result in health hazards, electric shocks and may even cause fires. Before you unpack the laser printer, you should make yourself familiar with this information regarding your safety and operating safety.

CAUTION

Observe the following information:

èMake sure that the power cable is correctly plugged into the socket and that the socket is at all times visible and readily accessible.

èDo not pull the cable of the power plug as this may damage the cable. The result could be an electric shock or a fire.

èRemove the power plug from the socket if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time.

èDo not remove the power cable from the socket with wet hands as this may result in an electric shock.

èDo not move the unit unless the power cable has been removed from the socket. Otherwise you may damage the cable. The result could be a short-circuit or a fire.

èDo not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Do not pull or kink the cable as this can result in damage to the cable. The result could be an electric shock or a fire.

èMake sure that the machine is not standing on a cable connected to another machine as this can result in damage to that cable. The result could be a fire or improper functioning of the unit in question.

èMake sure that the power supply to the unit has the correct voltage. Otherwise the result could be a fire or an electric shock.

èSwitch off the unit immediately and unplug the power cable if the power supply cable is damaged. Failure to do so could result in a fire or an electric shock. Contact your customer support technical specialist.

èUse only extension cables that are designed for at least the maximum power rating of the machine. Extension cables with lower ratings can result in overheating and can even cause a fire.

èPerform only the procedures that are described in this manual. Using

the machine improperly can result in a fire or an electric shock.

èDo not place any heavy objects on the machine.

èDo not open any covers on the machine while printing is in progress.

èDo not switch off the unit while printing is in progress.

èDo not place any magnetic object near the machine.

èDo not use any flammable sprays, liquids or gases in the vicinity of the machine.

èDo not remove any safety devices and do not alter the construction of the machine. The unit is equipped with high-voltage components. Using the machine improperly can result in a fire or an electric shock.

èDo not insert any paper clips, staples or other small metal objects into openings on the machine. The result could be an electric shock or a fire. If metal pieces are fed into the machine, switch it off immediately, disconnect the power cable and contact your customer support technical specialist.

èDo not place coffee cups, drinks bottles or other containers with liquids in them on the machine. If liquid enters the machine the result could be an electric shock or a fire. If liquid does get into the machine, switch it off immediately, disconnect the power cable and contact your customer support technical specialist.

èIf the machine becomes unusually hot, or if you notice smoke or an unusual odour coming from the machine, switch it off immediately and remove the power cable from the socket. Contact your customer support technical specialist.

Safety Information

lLaser Safety

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 housing, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

lInternal Laser Radiation Maximum Radiation Power:

1.03 (mW) at laser aperture of the print head unit Wavelength: 770-810 (nm)

This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode. 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.
