Safety Information

When using your printer, the following safety precautions should always be followed.

In this manual, the following important symbols are used:

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

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

Read This First

• Confirm the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so that in the event of emergency, it can be unplugged easily.

• Plug and unplug the power cable with dry hands, or an electric shock could occur.

• Only connect the machine to the power source described in the manual.

• Avoid multi-wiring.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord.

Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.

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

• Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site.

• If you dispose of the used toner containers yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations.

• Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the machine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.

• Dispose at an authorized dealer or approved collection site. If you dispose of the used toner containers yourself, do so according to local regulations.

• Do not risk electric shock by handling the power cord or plug with wet hands.

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

Read This First

• Place no objects on the left or inner cover.

• Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and

cause an injury.

• The inside of this printer becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled “v” (indicating a hot surface). Touching these parts will result in burns.

• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing so might cause an electrical shock.

• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust can become an electrical fire hazard.

• Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, it might fall and injure someone.

• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.

• If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.

• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.

• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary

• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.

• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.

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

• Grip the plug, not the cord, when pulling the plug from the socket. Pulling

the cord causes wear and tear that can result in fire or electric shock.

• Wait at least one hour after power off before replacing parts. Not allowing the printer to cool may result in burns.

• Lifting the paper feed unit carelessly or dropping it may cause injury.

Read This First

• When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could

be very hot.

• The printer weights approximately 50 kg (110.3 lb.). When moving the printer, use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly. The printer will break or cause injury if dropped.

• Before installing options, the machine should be turned off and unplugged for at least half an hour. Components inside the machine become very hot, and can cause a burn if touched.

• Lifting the paper feed unit carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.

• Do not touch the inside of the controller board compartment. It may cause

a machine malfunction or a burn.

• When moving the machine, each person should hold the handles that are located on opposite sides, and then lift it slowly. Lifting it carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.

• When you move the printer, remember to unplug the power cord from the wall outlet to avoid a fire or an electric shock.

• When moving the printer after use, do not take out any of the Toners, Photo Conductor Units, nor the Waste Toner Cartridge to prevent toner spill inside the machine.

• When lifting the machine, use the inset grips on both sides. Otherwise the printer could break or cause an injury if dropped.

• Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If the cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs or cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard.

❒ Under certain temperature and humidity conditions, printing may cause va-

pour to issue from paper. The standard tray (behind the control panel) may emit steam during printing.

❒ Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and

functionality. When purchasing expendable supplies, we recommend using only those specified by an authorized dealer.

Installing the Toner Cartridge

The following procedure describes how to install the toner cartridge.

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

• Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site.

• If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations.

• Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire.

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

• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.

• If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.

• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.

• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary

• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.

• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.

❒ When you first use this printer, use the four toner cartridges packaged with the

printer.

❒ The toner cartridges that comes with the printer will allow you to print up to

about 3,000 pages. These numbers were obtained from printing A4 K5% charts, but the actual number of pages will vary depending on the paper type, size, contents, and settings.

❒ The toner cartridge for replacement comes in two types for different number

of printable pages: 15,000 pages and 5,000 pages.

Setting Up

❒ Toner Cartridges (consumable) are not covered by warranty. However, if

there is problem, contact the store where they ware purchased.

❒ Toner cartridge mouths may be dirtied during quality inspection.

A Open the top cover.

B Take the toner cartridges out of the box.

C Shake the toner cartridge up and down seven or eight times.

Setting Up

D Remove the tape holding the toner cartridge.

E First, install the yellow toner cartridge. Holding the toner cartridge hor-

izontally ( ) with the locking lever on the upper side, install the toner cartridge bottom first, and then move the locking lever to the triangle mark ( ).

F Turn the locking lever to the circle mark. Pull the locking lever toward

you, until it locks into place.

❒ Do not repeatedly insert and remove toner cartridges. Doing so results in

toner leakage.
