Using the Copier Properly

To ensure the optimum performance of the copier, follow the precautions listed below.

• Never place a heavy object on the copier.

• Never subject the copier to shocks.

• Never open any doors or turn the copier off while the copier is making copies.

• Never bring any magnetized object near the copier.

• Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the copier.

• Never modify the copier, as a fire or electrical shock could result.

• Never remo ve any panel or cov er which is secured. The copier contains high v oltage components which can cause electrical shock.

• Never tamper with the laser mechanism on laser-equipped models, as blindness or other injury may result.

• Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal through the vents or other openings in the copier, as a fire or electrical shock can result.

• Never place containers of liquid on the copier. If liquids get inside the copier, they can cause fire or electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the copier, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the copier remains plugged in or is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.

• Never leave the copier running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smoke or an unusual odor or noise is detected. Should any of these conditions occur, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the copier remains plugged in under any of these conditions.

• Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.

• Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the copier or copier cabinet.

• Always provide good ventil ation when making a large number of continuous copies.

• Never pull on the po wer cord, and always hol d the plug when unplugging the po wer cord. A damaged cord could result in a fire or cause an electrical shock.

• Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an electrical shock.

• Always unplug the power cord before moving the copier. Moving the copier with the power cord plugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an electrical shock.

• Always unplug the power cord when the copier is not going to be used for a long time.

• Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a fire or electrical shock can result.

• Always ensure that the copier does not sit on or move onto the power cord or communications cable of other electrical equipment, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.

• Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other electrical equipment does not become wedged into the copier mechanism, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.

Using the Copier Properly

• Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can cause a fire or electrical shock.

• Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock can result.

• Should the power cord become damaged, immediately turn the copier off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A damaged cord can result in a fire or cause an electric shock.

• If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacity than the maximum power requirements of the copier. The use of an extension cord that falls short of supporting the maximum power requirements can result in overheating or a fire.

• Always unplug the copier whenever an ything unusu al is observed during operation. Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of the copier and furniture.

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

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