Energy Star guidelines for energy
efficiency.
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of
safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical
equipment, however, there are a few basic precautions
that should be taken to avoid personal injury or
damaging the printer:
•Read this setup guide carefully and save it for
future reference.
•Read and follow all warning and instruction
labels on the printer itself.
•Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only
a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners to clean the printer.
•Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the
printer is placed on something unsteady, it may
fall and become damaged or injure someone. If
the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked
causing the printer to overheat.
•Do not put the printer on or near a heat source,
such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of
direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the
printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.
•Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid
of any kind into it.
•Make sure that the power source matches the
rating listed on the back of the printer. If you are
not sure, check with your dealer or with your
local power company.
•This printer has an earthed, 3-pin plug as a safety
feature and will only connect to an earthed outlet.
If this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet,
then it is possible that the power outlet is of the
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to
have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an
adapter to defeat the earthing.
•To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put
anything on it or place it where it will be walked
on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,
replace it immediately.
•If an extension cable or power strip is being used
with the printer, make sure that the total of the
amperage rating required by all the equipment is
less than the rating of the extension cable or
power strip. The total ratings of all equipment
plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13
amperes.
Prefacev
•The power outlet into which the printer is
connected must remain accessible at all times.
•The printer does not function normally when
following the operating instructions.
•Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces.
These are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.
•Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots
on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a
fire.
•Aside from the routine maintenance described in
this user’s guide, do not try to service the printer
yourself. Opening a cover may expose you to
shocks or other hazards.
•Do not make any adjustments other than those
outlined in this users guide as damaged may be
caused to the printer.
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not
working properly or has been damaged, disconnect the
printer from the power source and contact your dealer.
These are some of the things to look for:
•The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.
•Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has
been exposed to water.
•The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is
damaged.
Toner cartridge and image drum
handling
•Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum
units in their packages until needed. When
replacing a toner cartridge or image unit, reuse
the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge
or image drum unit.
•Do not expose the toner cartridges and image
drum units to light for more than five minutes.
Never expose the green drum (inside the image
drum unit) to direct sunlight.
•Always hold the image drum unit by the ends never by the middle. Never touch the green drum
inside the image drum unit.
•To avoid damage to the image drum unit, always
use original toner cartridges.
•Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge.
Do not let it touch your clothing or porous
materials. The toner powder causes permanent
stains.
viOKI C9000 Series
•Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or
clothing can be readily removed with soap and
cold water. Using heated water will make
removing the stain much more difficult.
