To ensure optim um performance of the printer, follow the precautions listed below.
•Never place a heavy object on the printer.
•Never subject the printer to shocks.
•Never open any doors or turn the printer off while the printer is makin g pri nt s.
•Never bring any magnetized object near the printer.
•Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the printer.
•Never modify the pr inter, as a fire or electric al shock could result.
•Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The printer contains high
voltage components which can cause electrical shock.
•Never tamper with t he laser mechanism on lase r-equ ipped models , as blindness or
other injury may result.
•Never drop paper clips, staples or ot her small pieces of m et a l through the vents or
other openings in the printer, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
•Never place containers of liquid on the pri nter. If liquids get inside the pri nter, they
can cause fire or electri c al shock. If a piece of metal or any liq uid gets inside the
printer, immediately turn the printer off, unplug th e power cord and call your
technica l representative. A fire or electrical sh ock can result if the printer rem ains
plugged in or is operated after metal or li quid gets inside.
•Never leave the printer running if it bec o m es unusually hot, or if smoke or an
unusual odor or noise is de t ec ted. Shoul d any of these conditions occur,
immediat ely turn the printer off, unplug the power cord and cal l yo ur technical
representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the pri nter remains plugged in
under any of these conditions.
•Always insert the power plug all t he w ay into the outle t.
•Always make sure that t he outlet is visibl e, clear of the printer or printer cabi net.
•Always provide good ventilation when m a king a large number of cont inu ous prints.
•Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when unplugging the power
cord. A dama ged cord could res u l t in a fire or cause an el ec trical shock.
•Never unplug the power cord with a wet ha nd, as it could cause an elec tri ca l shock.
•Always unplug the power cord before moving the printer. Moving the printer with
the power cord plugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an
electric al s hock.
•Always unplug the power cord when the printer is not go ing 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
electric al s hoc k can result.
•Always ensure that th e pri nter does not sit on or ride on the power cord or
communi ca ti ons cable of other ele ct rical equipment, as malfunctioning equip me n t
or a fire could result.
•Always ensure that th e power cord or communicatio n s ca bl e of ot he r electrical
equipment does not become wedged into the printer mec h a nism, as malfunct ioning
equipmen t or a fire could result.

Using the Printer Properly
•Always use the correct power voltage, as imprope r volt age 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, im m ediately turn the printer off, unplug
the power cord and call your technical representative. A damaged cord can result in
a fire or ca us e an electric shock.
•If an extensio n cord is needed, us e one with a greater rated cap acity than the
maximum power requirements of the printer. 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 printer whenever anything unusual is observed during operation.
Make sure that the outlet is nearby and clear of the printer and furnit ure.

2. Precautions for Use
Storage of Prints
• If prints 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 prints, the toner on the prints can
melt.
• The color prin ts have a toner la yer thicker than the normal bl ac k-a nd-white prints. Wh en a c o lo r pr i nt is
folded, therefore, the toner can be broken at the fold.
NOTE
This unit is equipped with a counterfeit prevention function that can cause slight noise in the printed
image.
