Safety Instructions Regarding the Disconnection of Power

Caution: The power plug is the main isolation device! Other switches on the equipment are only functional switches and are not suitable for isolating the equipment from the power source.

VORSICHT: Der Netzstecker ist die Hauptisoliervorrichtung! Die anderen Schalter auf dem Gerät sind nur Funktionsschalter und können nicht verwendet werden, um den Stromfluß im Gerät zu unterbrechen.

Energy Saving Control Function

To reduce energy consumption while in a waiting state, the device comes equipped with an energy saving control function for switching to Sleep Mode as well as Power Off Mode where power consumption is automatically reduced to a minimum after a certain amount of time elapses since the device was last used.

Sleep Mode

The device automatically enters Sleep Mode when approximately 1 minute has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Sleep Mode is activated may be lengthened by changing the Auto sleep setting. For details, refer to Device Defaults Tab on page 2-12.

Power Off Mode

The device automatically turns its power off when 1 hour has passed since the device was last used. The amount of time of no activity that must pass before Power Off Mode is activated may be lengthened by changing the Power Off Timer setting. For details, refer to Device Defaults Tab on page 2-12.

In case of not using the machine for an extended period of time

CAUTION If this machine will be left unused for an extended period (e.g. overnight), turn it off at the power switch. If the machine will not be used for an even longer period of time (e.g. vacation), remove the power plug from the outlet as a safety precaution.

CAUTION Remove paper from the cassettes and seal it in the paper storage bag to protect it from humidity.

Duplex Printing (FS-1060DN/FS-1061DN only)

This printer includes duplex printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two single-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a duplex printing, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used.

Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to the conservation of forest resources. Duplex mode also reduces the amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is recommended that machines capable of duplex printing be set to use duplex mode by default.

Resource Saving - Paper

For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper certified under environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognised ecolabels, which meet EN 12281:2002*1 or an equivalent quality standard, be used.

This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m² paper. Using such paper containing less raw materials can lead to further saving of forest resources.

*1: EN12281:2002 "Printing and business paper - Requirements for copy paper for dry toner imaging processes" Your sales or service technician can provide information about recommended paper types.

v

Environmental benefits of "Power Management"

To reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that automatically activates energy-saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time. Although it takes the machine a slight amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a significant reduction in energy consumption is possible.

It is recommended that the machine be used with the activation time for energy-saving mode set to the default setting.

To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.

Cautions when Handling Consumables

Do not attempt to incinerate parts which contain toner. Dangerous sparks may cause burns.

Keep parts which contain toner out of the reach of children.

If toner happens to spill from parts which contain toner, avoid inhalation and ingestion, as well as contact with your eyes and skin.

•If you do happen to inhale toner, move to a place with fresh air and gargle thoroughly with a large amount of water. If coughing develops, contact a physician.

•If you do happen to ingest toner, rinse your mouth out with water and drink 1 or 2 cups of water to dilute the contents of your stomach. If necessary, contact a physician.

•If you do happen to get toner in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. If there is any remaining tenderness, contact a physician.

•If toner does happen to get on your skin, wash with soap and water.

Do not attempt to force open or destroy parts which contain toner.

Other precautions

After use, always dispose of the Toner Container in accordance with Federal, State and Local rules and regulations. Store all consumables in a cool, dark location.
