Safety During Operation

In this manual, the following important symbols are used:

WARNING:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.

WARNING:

• Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an extension cord.

• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.

• To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual.

• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the following occurs:

•You spill something into the machine.

•You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.

•The external housing of your machine has been damaged.

• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

• Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer.

• Dispose of the used toner bottle in accordance with the local regulations.

• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric shock might occur.

CAUTION:

• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be damaged under the machine.

• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the machine.

• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner bottle out of the reach of children.

• Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside the product to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.

• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an authorized dealer.

• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the “hot surface”. Otherwise, an injury might occur.

Power Supply

The socket-outlet shall be in stalled near the product and shall be easily accessible.

Ozone Safety (if applicable)

Some product (see specification in the Operating Instructions) generates ozone during operation. Normally, the ozone level is safe for operators. If ozone odor may appear, ventilate the room.

For Fax or Telephone

Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool. Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak to report the leak.

Laser Safety:

This product (see specification in the Operating Instructions) is considered a class 1 laser device. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator. The following label is attached to the back of European and Asian specification machines only.

For North America CDRH Regulations

This equipment complies with requirements of 21 CFR subchapter J for class 1 laser products. This equipment contains a 5 milliwatt, 760–800 nanometer wavelength, AlGaAs laser diode. This equipment does not emit hazardous radiation, since the beam is totally enclosed during all customer modes of operation and maintenance.

Caution:

Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
