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 conditionsbe 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
extensioncord is required.
P-2
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 m etal, water, or any other similar foreign matter get inside the
product, immediately turn OFF the power switch, unplug the power cord from the
poweroutlet, and then call your authorized service representative.
• If this product becomes inordinately hot or emits smoke, or unusual odor or noise,
immediatelyturn OFF the powerswitch, 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
powerswitch, 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.
P-3
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

Safety Precautions
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 Radiation Power: 13.6µW at the laser aperture of the print head unit.
Wavelength: 785nm
This product employs a Class 3b laser diode that emits an invisible laser beam.
The laser diode and the scanning polygon mirror are incorporated in the p rint head unit.
The print head unit is NOT A FIELD SERVICE ITEM.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circumstances.

NOTE
= 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.
Chapter 1
Safety Notes
REMARQUE
= 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. Pouravoir la
certitude de travailler dans un environnement réunissant des conditions de confort, santé et de
sécurité, il est préférable de bien aérer la p ièce ou se trouve l’appareil.
Moving the Machine
If you need to transport the machine over a long distance, consult your Technical Representative.

2. Precautions for Use
Care of Machine Supplies
Use the following precautions when handling the machine supplies (toner, paper, etc.).
Chapter 1
Store the paper, toner,and other supplies in a place free from direct sunlight and away from any heating
◆
apparatus. Keep them in a dry, cool, clean environment.
Store paper, which has been removed from its wrapper but not loaded into the drawer, in a sealed
◆
plastic bag in a cool, dark place.
Keep supplies out of the reach of children.
◆
Safety Notes
If your hands become soiled with toner, wash them with soap and water immediately.
◆
Note on making multiple copies
If the fusing temperature drops excessively during a multi-copy cycle, there is a possibility that the
copying speed will be reduced. The copying speed will automatically return to normal when the fusing
temperature rises enough to ensure good fusing performance.
