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.

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.
NOTE
= Locate the Printer in a Well Ventilated Room = A negligible amount of ozone is generated during normal operation of this unit. An unpleasant odor may, howe ver, be creat ed in poorly ventil ated r o oms duri ng ex tensi ve unit oper at ion. For a comfortable, healthy, and safe operating environment, it is recommended that the room be well ventilated.
REMARQUE
= Placer le l’appareil dans une pièce largement ventilée = Une quantité d’ozone négligeable e st déga gée pendant le fonctionne ment de l’appare il quan d cel ui -ci est utilisé normalement. Cependant, une odeur désagréable peut être ressentie dans les pièces dont l’aérat io n est insuff i sante et lorsque une util isation prolongée de l’appareil est e f fectuée. Pour avoir l a 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 l’appareil.

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.
