The use of non-shielded cable is likely to result in int erference with radio communicatio ns and is pr ohibited under 89/ 336/EEC rules.
Ozone Rele ase
During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not
large enough to harm anyone adversely. However, be sure the room where the
machine is being used has adequate ventilation, especially if you are printing a
high volume of materials, or if the machine is being used continuously over a long
period.

Installation Precautions
Note the following important precautions when selecting a location for the printer
and when connecting it to a power source.
Selecting a Location for the Printer
A proper location helps to ensure that your printer provides you with the long service life for which it is designed. Double-check to make sure that the location you
select has the following characteristics.
• Choose a locatio n that is well-ventilated.
• Make sure there is no ch ance of amm onia or other organic gasses being generated in the area.
• The power outlet you plan to connect to f or power should be nearby and unobstructed.
• Make sure that the pr inter is not exposed to direct sunlight.
English
• A void areas in the di rect airflow of air conditioners, heater s, or ventilators, and
areas subject ed to temperature and humidity extremes.
• Choose a sturdy, level surface where the printer will not be exposed t o strong
vibration.
• Keep the printer away from any obje cts that might block its heat vents.
• Do not locate the print er near curtains or other comb ustible objects.
• Choose an area where there is no possibility of the printer being splashed with
water or other liquids.
• Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.
Power Source
The following are the power source requirements for this printer .
Power supply:
220–240 V at 50–60 Hz
Voltage fluctuation:
220–240 V ±10%
Frequency fluctuation:
Within ±3 Hz
En-13
Note
• Use a power source with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.
• Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this printer.
• Be sure to pl ug the power cord all the way int o the outlet. The outlet should be located
near the printer and be easily accessi ble so y ou can unplug the pow er cord immediately should any problem occur.
• Make sure the outlet you use is visib le, and not hidden behi nd the printer or an y other
object.
• If any othe r el ectrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet, make sure that the
English
capacity of the out let is not exceeded.
• If you use an extension cord, mak e sure i ts capacity is greater than the power consumption of the printer. Using an ex tension cord wi th a lowe r capacity creates the danger of fire.
• Nev er use a multiple sock et to connect other appliances or mac hines to the same outlet being used to power the printer.
Grounding
Always ground the printer to guard against the danger of electrical shock. To
ground the printer, connect the grounding wire to the ground terminal of the electrical outlet you are plugging in to or to a grounding contact that complies with local
electrical standards in your area.
Note
• Never connect the grounding wir e to a gas pipe, t he groundi ng wire for a telephone, or
to a water pipe.
En-14

Be sure to provide space around the printer as indicated below, to ensure easier
printer operation, paper and toner replacement, and maintenance.

Operational Precautions
Note the following important precautions whenever using the printer.
Operating Envi ronment
The following describes the operating environment required when using the
printer.
Temperature:
English
10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) with fluctuation of 10°C (18°F) per hour
Humidity:
15% to 85% with fluctuation of 20% per hour
Printer
The following describes precautions for using the printer.
• Never turn the printer off or open any of its covers during a print operation.
• Never place flammable gass es, liquids or objects that generate magnet ic forces
near the printer.
• When unplugging t he power cord, always grasp the plug and never pull on the
cord. A damaged cord create s the danger of fire or electrical shock .
• Never touch the power cor d w hen your hands are wet. Doing so creates the danger of electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord before moving the printer. Failure to do so can
damage the powe r cord, creatin g the danger of fire or electric al shock.
• Always unplug the power cor d if you do not plan to use the print er for a long time.
• Never try to re move any secured panel or cover. The interior of the prin ter contains high-voltage circuitry which creates the danger of electrical shoc k when
exposed.
• Never try to modif y the printer. Doing so creates the dange r of fire or electrical
shock.
• Never place any heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it or bend it. Doing so
creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Alwa ys make sure the printer is not placed on the electrical co rd or the communications cables of any other electrical equipment. Also make sure that cords and
cables do not get into the print er’ s mechanism. Any of these conditi ons create
the danger of malfunction and fire.
En-16
• Always take care so that paper clips, staples, or other small pieces of metal do
not get into the printer t h rough its vents or other openings. Such objects create
the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not all ow water or other liquid s to spill on or near the printer. Fire or electrical
shock can occur should water or liquid come int o contact with the printer.
• Should liquid or any piece of metal acci dently get inside the prin ter, immediately
turn it off, unplug the power cord, and contact your dealer. Failure to take this
immediate action creates the danger of fi re or electrical shock.
• Whenever the prin ter emits unusually high amounts of heat , smoke, an unusual
odor, or noise, immediately turn it off , unplug it, and contact your dealer. Failure
to take this immediate action creates the danger of fire or el ectrical shock.
Caution
• Be sure to locate the pri nter in a well-vent il ated location. A minimal am ount of ozone is
generated during normal operation of this printer. Because of this , an unplea sant odor
may result when the printer is used for extensive printing in a poorly ventilated area.
For comfortab le, healthy, and s afe operation, be sure to locate the print er in a w ell-ventilated area.
English
En-17
Printer Supplie s
Note the following precautions when handling printer supplies such as the toner
cartridge, the drum cartridge, and paper.
• Avoid storing printer supplies in the following locations.
• Areas subjec ted to di rect su nlight . Additi onall y, the drum cartridge must be protec ted
from fluorescent light.
• Areas exposed to open flame.
• Areas subjected to high humidity.
English
• Areas subjected to large amount s of dust.
• Keep paper that has been removed from its wrapper, but not yet loaded onto the
printer tray, in a sealed plastic bag and store it in a cool, dark location.
• Use only the toner cartridge that is expressly specified f o r thi s printer.
• Keep supplies out of the reach of chi ldren.
• Should your hands become soiled with toner, immediately wash them with soap
and water.
Caution
• Whenever you remove t he drum cartridge from the printer, immediately wrap it wit h a
cloth to protect it against overexposure to light.
