xvi

During printing, small amounts of ozone and other chemicals are
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.

Power Supply/Grounding the Printer

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 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.

Other Precautions

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

Handling of Plastic Bags

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.

xvii

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.

• When moving the machine, pull out two carrying handles on the left
side, and move with carrying handles and the having hand two place
of the right side.

xviii

• 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.
