Installation Precautions

Environment

CAUTION: Avoid placing the pr inter on or in locations which are unstable

or not level. Such locations may cause the printer to fall. This type of
situation presents a danger of person a l inju r y or da m ag e to the prin ter .

Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt becomes
attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or
electrical shock.

Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or locations
near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.

To keep the printer cool and facilitate changing of parts and maintenance,
allow access space as shown below. Leave adequate space, especially
around the side cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated from the printer.

OPERATION GUIDE xv

Power Supply/Grounding the Printer

Other Precautions

Handling of Plastic Bags

WARNING: Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than th at

specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These types of
situations present a danger of fire or electrical sho ck.

Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in
contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.

Always connect the printer to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid
the danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth
connection is not possible, contact your service representative.

Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the printer.

WARNING: Keep the plastic bags that are used with the printer away

from children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing
suffocation.

xvi OPERATION GUIDE

Precautions for Use

Cautions when Using the Printer

• Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases,
flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the printer. This type of situation
presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside.

• Do not remove any of the covers from the printer as there is a danger
of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the printer.

• Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not
place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause
any other type of damage.These types of situations present a danger
of fire or electrical shock.

• Never attempt to repair or disassemble the printer or its parts as there
is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the laser. If the laser
beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing blindness.

• If the printer becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the
printer, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation occurs,
there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the power switch OFF
({) immediately, remove the power plug from the outlet and contact
your service representative.

• If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the
printer, turn the power switch OFF ({) immediately. Next, remove the
power plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical
shock. Then contact your service representative.

• Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as there is
a danger of electrical shock.

• Always contact your service representative for maintenance or repair
of internal parts.

• Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the
power cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a
danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug when
removing the power cord from the outlet.)

• Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the
printer. If the power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock.

• If the printer will not be used for a short period of time (overnight, etc.),
turn the power switch OFF ({). If it will not be used for an extended
period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the power plug from the outlet
for safety purposes during the time the printer is not in use.

• For safety purposes. Always remove the power plug from the outlet
when performing cleaning operations.

• If dust accumulates within the printer, there is a danger of fire or other
trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with your service
representative in regard to cleaning of internal parts. This is
particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of high humidity.
Consult with your service representative in regard to the cost of
cleaning the internal parts of the printer.

OPERATION GUIDE xvii

Other Precautions

• Do not place heavy objects on the printer or cause other damage to
the printer.

• Do not open the top/left/rear cover, turn off the main switch, or pull out
the power plug during printing.

• During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not
cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over
a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an
extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant.
To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested
that the room be properly ventilated.

• Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit
boards. They could be damaged by static electricity.

• Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this
handbook.

• If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time, remove
the paper from the cassette, return it to its original package and reseal
it.

CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.

Cautions for Toner Handling

• Do not incinerate toner and toner containers. Dangerous sparks may
cause burn.

• Never open the toner container.

• Do not inhale the toner.

• If you get toner on your hands, Do not rub your eyes or touch your
mouth. Wash the toner from your hands.

• For the disposal of the old toner container, consult your service
technician or dispose of the toner or toner containers in accordance
with Federal, State and Local rules and regulations.
