A triangle indicates a danger against which you should take precaution.

This symbol warns against cause burns.

A diagonal line indicates a prohibited course of action.

This symbol warns against dismantling the device.

A solid circle indicates an imperative course of action.

This symbol indicates you must unplug the device.

Disassemble and modification

WARNING

• Do not attempt to remove the covers and panels which have been fixed
to the product. Some products have a high-voltage part or a laser beam
source inside that could cause an electrical shock or blindness.

• Do not modify this product, as a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown could
result. If the product employs a laser, the laser beam source could cause
blindness.

Power cord

WARNING

• Use only the power cord supplied in the package. If a power cord is not
supplied, only use the power cord and plug that is specified in POWER
CORD INSTRUCTION. Failure to use this cord could result in a fire or
electrical shock.

• Use the power cord supplied in the package only for this machine and
NEVER use it for any other product. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in a fire or electrical shock.

1-6 bizhub 164

1.3 Safety information

Power cord

• Do not scratch, abrade, place a heavy object on, heat, twist, bend, pull
on, or damage the power cord. Use of a damaged power cord (exposed
core wire, broken wire, etc.) could result in a fire or breakdown.
Should any of these conditions be found, immediately turn OFF the power
switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your
authorized service representative.

Power source

WARNING

• Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do that could re­sult in a fire or electrical shock.

• Connect power plug directly into wall outlet having the same configura­tion as the plug. Use of an adapter leads to the product connecting to in­adequate power supply (voltage, current capacity, grounding), and may
result in fire or shock. If proper wall outlet is not available, the customer
shall ask qualified electrician for the installation.

• Do not use a multiple outlet adapter nor an extension cord in principle.
Use of an adapter or an extension cord could cause a fire or electrical
shock.
Contact your authorized service representative if an extension cord is re­quired.

• Consult your authorized service representative before connecting other
equipment on the same wall outlet. Overload could result in a fire.

1

CAUTION

• The outlet must be near the equipment and easily accessible. Otherwise
you can not pull out the power plug when an emergency occurs.

Power plug

WARNING

• Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with a wet hand, as an electrical
shock could result.

• Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do this
could result in a fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

• Do not tug the power cord when unplugging. Pulling on the power cord
could damage the cord, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.

• Remove the power plug from the outlet more than one time a year and
clean the area between the plug terminals. Dust that accumulates be­tween the plug terminals may cause a fire.

Grounding

WARNING

• Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet that is equipped with a
grounding terminal.

Installation

WARNING

• Do not place a flower vase or other container that contains water, or metal
clips or other small metallic objects on this product. Spilled water or me­tallic objects dropped inside the product could result in a fire, electrical
shock, or breakdown.
Should a piece of metal, water, or any other similar foreign matter get in­side the product, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the
power cord from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service
representative.

Safety information

1.3

steam, near a kitchen table, bath, or a humidifier. A fire, electrical shock,
or breakdown could result.

• Do not place this product on an unstable or tilted bench, or in a location
subject to a lot of vibration and shock. It could drop or fall, causing per­sonal injury or mechanical breakdown.

• Do not let any object plug the ventilation holes of this product. Heat could
accumulate inside the product, resulting in a fire or malfunction.

• Do not use flammable sprays, liquids, or gases near this product, as a fire
could result.

Ventilation

CAUTION

• Using this product in a poorly ventilated room for a long time or producing
a large volume of copies or prints may cause the odor of exhaust air from
the machine. Ventilate the room well.

Actions in response to troubles

WARNING

• Do not keep using this product, if this product becomes inordinately hot
or emits smoke, or unusual odor or noise. Immediately turn OFF the pow­er switch, unplug the power cord from the power outlet, and then call your

1.3 Safety information

Actions in response to troubles

• Do not keep using this product, if this product has been dropped or its
cover damaged. Immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the
power cord from the power outlet, and then call your authorized service
representative. If you keep on using it as is, a fire or electrical shock could
result.

CAUTION

• The inside of this product has areas subject to high temperature, which
may cause burns.
When checking the inside of the unit for malfunctions such as a paper
misfeed, do not touch the locations (around the fusing unit, etc.) which
are indicated by a "Caution HOT" caution label.

Consumables

WARNING

• Do not throw the toner cartridge or toner into an open flame. The hot ton­er may scatter and cause burns or other damage.

CAUTION

1

• Do not leave a toner unit or drum unit in a place within easy reach of chil­dren. Licking or ingesting any of these things could injure your health.

• Do not store toner units and PC drum units near a floppy disk or watch
that are susceptible to magnetism. They could cause these products to
malfunction.

This device must be used with a shielded interface cable. The use of non-shielded cables is likely to result in
interference with radio communications and is prohibited under CISPR rules and local rules.

Laser safety

This is a digital machine which operates using a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the laser provided
the machine is operated according to the instructions in the manuals.

Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protective housing, the laser beam cannot
escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

This machine is certified as a Class 1 laser product: This means the machine does not produce hazardous
laser radiation.

Regulation notices

1.4

Ozone release

Locate the Machine in a Well-Ventilated Room
A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this machine. An unpleasant odor may,
however, be created in poorly ventilated rooms during extensive machine operations. For a comfortable,
healthy and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be well ventilated.

Placer l’appareil dans une pièce largement ventilée
Une quantité d’ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement de l’appareil quand celui-ci est uti­lisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dont l’aération est
insuffisante et lorsque une utilisation prolongée de l’appareil est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler
dans un environnment réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de sécurité, il est préférable de bien
aérer la pièce ou se trouve l’appareil.

6.4 Uninstalling the driver

Reference

- In Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003, even if the printer driver is deleted using the preceding method, the
model information file will remain in the computer. For this reason, when reinstalling the same version
of the printer driver, the driver may not be rewritten. In this case, remove the following files as well.

– Check the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32e86" folder ("C:\WIN-

DOWS\system32\spool\drivers\e64" folder in the e64 system, and "C:\WINNT\system32\spool\driv­ers\w32e86" folder in Windows 2000), and if there is a folder (file described in "oem*.inf" shown below
in Windows 2000) of the corresponding model, remove it.

– From the "C:\WINDOWS\inf" folder ("C:\WINNT\inf" folder in Windows 2000), remove "oem*.inf" and

"oem*.PNF" ("*" included in the file name indicates a number, which differs depending on the computer
environment). Before removing these files, open the inf file, then check the model name described on
the last few lines to confirm it is the file for the corresponding model. The number of the PNF file is the
same as that of the inf file.

– In Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008, this operation is not necessary if you have selected [Remove driver

and driver package.].
