Installation Precautions
Environment
CAUTION
• Avoid placing the printer on or in locations which are
unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the
printer to fall down or fall over. This type of situation
presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the
printer. .........................................................................
• 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 out of
the printer. ...................................................................
• Always use the caster stoppers to stabilize the printer
once it is in place to keep it from moving and/or falling
over and causing injury. ..............................................
Other Precautions
• Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the printer. Install in an
air-conditioned room (recommended room temperature: around 20 °C, humidity: around 65 % RH) and
avoid the following locations when selecting a site for
the printer.
• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to di-
rect 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.
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 representa-
tive. .............................................................................
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. ..................................
9
Precautions for Use
Cautions when Using the Printer
WARNING
• 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 (O) 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
(O) 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 main-
tenance 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 re-
moving 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 (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 printer is not in
use. .............................................................................
• For safety purposes. ALWAYS remove the power
plug from the outlet when performing cleaning oper-
ations. ...................................................................
• 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. ...........
Other Precautions
• DO NOT place heavy objects on the printer or cause
other damage to the printer.
• DO NOT open the front 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.
• CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• 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.
Cautions for Toner Handling
CAUTION
• Do not incinerate toner and toner containers. Danger-
ous sparks may cause burn. ......................................
• Never open the toner container or waste toner box. ...
• Make sure not to inhale the toner, and not to rub your
eyes or touch your mouth with the hands stained with
the toner. And make sure not to stick to your skin.......
• For the disposal of old toner container and waste toner
box, consult your dealer. Or dispose of the toner or
toner containers in accordance with Federal, state and
Local rules and regulations. .......................................
• Keep away the toner container and the waste toner
box from children. .......................................................
