WARNING
• 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.
• 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.
• Only use the power cord supplied in the package. Failure to use this cord could
result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Use only the specified power source voltage. Failure to do that could result in a
fire or electrical shock.
• Do not use a multiple outlet adapter to connect any other appliances or machines.
Use of a power outlet for more than the marked current value could result in a fire
or electrical shock.
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.
• 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.
• In principle, do not use an extension cord. Use of an extension cord could cause a
fire or electrical shock. Contact your authorized service representative if an
extension cord is required.
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.
• 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 authorized service representative. If you keep on using it
as is, a fire or electrical shock could result.
• 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.
Do not throw the toner cartridge or toner into an open flame. The hot toner may
scatter and cause burns or other damage.
Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet that is equipped with a grounding
terminal.
CAUTION
• Do not use flammable sprays, liquids, or gases near this product, as a fire could
result.
• 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 let any object plug the ventilation holes of this product. Heat could accumulate inside the product, resulting in a fire or malfunction.
• Do not install this product at a site that is exposed to direct sunlight, or near an air
conditioner or heating apparatus. The resultant temperature changes inside the
product could cause a malfunction, fire, or electrical shock.
• Do not place the product in a dusty place, or a site exposed to soot or 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.
• After installing this product, mount it on a secure base. If the unit moves or falls,
it may cause personal injury.
• 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.
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 ! High Temperature !” warning label.
Do not place any objects around the power plug as the power plug may be difficult
to pull out when an emergency occurs.
• Always use this product in a well ventilated location. Operating the product in a
poorly ventilated room for an extended period of time could injure your health.
Ventilate the room at regular intervals.
• Whenever moving this product, be sure to disconnect the power cord and other
cables. Failure to do this could damage the cord or cable, resulting in a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown.
• When moving this product, always hold it by the locations specified in the operator’s manual or other documents. If the unit falls it may cause severe personal
injury. The product may also be damaged or malfunction.
• 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.
• When unplugging the power cord, be sure to hold onto the plug. Pulling on the
power cord could damage the cord, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
Precautions for Routine Use
• Do not store toner units, PC drum units, and other supplies and consumables in a
place subject to direct sunlight and high temperature and humidity, as poor
image quality and malfunction could result.
• Do not attempt to replace the toner unit and PC drum unit in a place exposed to
direct sunlight. If the PC drum is exposed to intense light, poor image quality
could result.
• Do not unpack a toner unit or PC drum unit until the very time of use. Do not
leave an unpacked unit standing. Install it immediately or poor image quality
could result.
• Do not keep toner units and PC drum units in an upright position or upside
down, as poor image quality could result.
• Do not throw or drop a toner unit or PC drum unit as poor image quality could
result.
• Do not use this product in an area where ammonia or other gases or chemicals
are present. Failure to do so may shorten the service life of the product, cause
damage or decrease performance.
• Do not use this product in an environment with a temperature outside the range
specified in the operator’s manual, as a breakdown or malfunction could result.
• Do not attempt to feed stapled paper, carbon paper or aluminum foil through this
product, as a malfunction or fire could result.
Do not touch or scratch the surface of the toner unit, developing roller and the
PC drum, as poor image quality could result.
Use the supplies and consumables recommended by the dealer. Use of any supply or consumable not recommended could result in poor image quality and
breakdown.

Safety Information
Laser Safety
This is a digital machine which operates by means of a laser. There is no possibility of danger from the
laser, provided the machine is operated according to the instructions in this manual.
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.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Average Radiat Power: 78.1 µW at the laser aperture of the print head unit.

2. Precautions for Use
Storage of Copies
• If copies are to be kept for a long time, keep them in a place which is not exposed to light to prevent fading.
• If an adhesive containing solvent (e.g., spray glue) is used to paste copies, the toner on the copies can
melt.
• The color copies have a toner layer thicker than the normal black-and-white copies. When a color copy
is folded, therefore, the toner at the fold can be separated.
NOTE
