Safety precautions and in­terlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
Important
Contents of this manual are subject to change without prior notice. In no event will the company be li­able for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages as a result of handling or oper­ating the machine.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not copy or print any item for which reproduction is prohibited by law.
Copying or printing the following items is generally prohibited by local law:
bank notes, revenue stamps, bonds, stock certificates, bank drafts, checks, passports, driver's licens­es.
The preceding list is meant as a guide only and is not inclusive. We assume no responsibility for its completeness or accuracy. If you have any questions concerning the legality of copying or printing cer­tain items, consult with your legal advisor.
Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the inch version.
For good copy quality, the supplier recommends that you use genuine toner from the supplier.
The supplier shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of parts other than genuine parts from the supplier with your office products.

Certain options might not be available in some countries. For details, please contact your local dealer.

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.

R WARNING:

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 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.
A fire or an electric shock might occur.

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 the printer to cool may result in burns.
Lifting the paper feed unit carelessly or dropping it may cause injury.
R CAUTION:
When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could be very hot.
The printer weights approximately 32 kg (70.5 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.
Note
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.
Important
Rating voltage of the connector for options: Max. DC 24 V.
Voltage must not fluctuate more than 10%.

Setting Up

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.
