• 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 containers yourself, dispose of them

according to local regulations.

• Dispose at an authorized dealer or approved collection site. If you dis-

pose 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.

• 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.

• The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not

use with other appliances. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock,
or injury.

• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols.

R CAUTION:

• Place no objects on the right 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

Where to Put the Printer

The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental condi­tions greatly affect its performance.

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

• 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.

• The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not

use with other appliances. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock,
or injury.

• 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 you use the machine in a confined space, ensure there is continuous air
circulation.
