Installation Precautions

Environment

Caution

Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable
or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down
or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal
injury or damage to the machine.

Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt
become 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 machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and
maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave
adequate space, especially around the rear cover, to allow air to
be properly ventilated out of the printer.

Other Precautions

Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and
performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room
(recommended room temperature: around 23°C (73.4°F), humidity:
around 60% RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site
for the machine.

• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.

• Avoid locations with vibrations.

• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.

• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.

• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

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.

xvii

Power Supply/Grounding the Machine

Warning

Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that
specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These
types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.

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 machine 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.

Other precautions

Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure

that the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is
easily accessible.

Handling of plastic bags

Warning

Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from
children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing
suffocation.

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

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

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 machine 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 machine becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the
machine, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation
occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the main
power switch off ({) immediately, be absolutely certain to remove the
power plug from the outlet and then contact your service representative.

If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into
the machine, turn the main power switch off ({) immediately.
Next, be absolutely certain to 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.

Caution

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
machine. If the power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock.

If the machine will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (O). 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 machine is
not in use.

Always hold the designated parts only when lifting or moving the
machine.

For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the
outlet when performing cleaning operations.

General Guidelines

The machine is designed to print on standard copier paper, but it can
also accept a variety of other types of paper within the limits specified
below.

Note The manufacturer assumes no liability for problems that

occur when paper not satisfying these requirements is used.

Selection of the right paper is important. Using the wrong paper can
result in paper jams, curling, poor print quality, and paper waste, and in
extreme cases can damage the machine. The guidelines given below
will increase the productivity of your office by ensuring efficient, trouble­free printing and reducing wear and tear on the machine.

Paper Availability

Most types of paper are compatible with a variety of machines. Paper
intended for xerographic copiers can also be used with the machine.

There are three general grades of paper: economy, standard, and
premium. The most significant difference between grades is the ease
with which they pass through the machine. This is affected by the
smoothness, size, and moisture content of the paper, and the way in
which the paper is cut. The higher the grade of paper you use, the less
risk there will be of paper jams and other problems, and the higher the
level of quality your printed output will reflect.

Differences between paper from different suppliers can also affect the
machine's performance. A high-quality printer cannot produce high­quality results when the wrong paper is used. Low-priced paper is not
economical in the long run if it causes printing problems.

Paper in each grade is available in a range of basis weights (defined
later). The traditional standard weights are 60 to 120 g/m

(16 to 31.9b).
