Cautions related to safety

WARNING
CAUTION
A warning provides additional information which, if ignored, may result in a risk of personal injury.
A caution provides additional information which, if ignored, may result in equipment malfunction or damage.

General cautions

Do not touch the safety switch inside the machine. Doing so may cause electric shock when high voltage occurs. In addition, gears can rotate, which may result in personal injury.
Pull the power plug out of the socket and contact with a customer’s service center when a liquid such as water enters in the internal parts of the machine.
Failure to do so may cause re.
Unplug the power cord and contact with a customer’s service center if the machine is dropped or the cover is damaged. Failure to do so may cause
electric shock and/or re
leading to personal injuries. Do not insert materials in a
vent hole. Doing so may cause electric
shock and/or re leading to
personal injuries. Do not throw toner cartridges
and image drum cartridges
into re. Doing so may cause
dust explosion leading to burns.
WARNING
Do not use an inammable
spray near the machine.
Doing so may cause re
since there is an area heating up within the machine.
Pull the power plug out of the socket and remove foreign materials such as clips when they fall inside the machine. Failure to do so may cause
electric shock and/or re
leading to personal injuries. Unplug the power cord
periodically to clean plug blades and root section between the blades. If the power plug remains inserted for a long time, the root section will get dusty, and the plug may be shorted
out, which may cause re.
Do not put a cup with liquids such as water on the machine. Doing so may cause electric
shock and/or re leading to
personal injuries. Do not use a power cord, a
cable, or a ground wire other than those that are indicated in User's Manual.
Doing so may cause re.
Pull the power plug out of the socket and contact with a customer’s service center when the cover is unusually hot, smoking, giving off questionable odour, or making a strange noise.
Failure to do so may cause re.
Do not operate and/or disassemble the machine other than that directed in User's Manual. Doing so may cause electric
shock and/or re leading to
personal injuries. Do not clean spilled toner with
a vacuum cleaner. If cleaning spilled toner with a vacuum cleaner, it may catch
re due to the sparks from
electric contact.
Toner spilled on the oor should
be wiped off with wet cloth. Do not touch the fuser and
other parts when opening the cover of the machine. Doing so may cause burns.
The operation of using UPS (uninterruptible power source) or inverters is not guaranteed. Do not use uninterruptible power source or inverters.
Doing so may cause re.
CAUTION
Do not come closer to the paper’s exit area when the power is turned on, while printing. Doing so may result in personal injury.
Do not disassemble or forcibly open the image drum or toner cartridge. It may scatter the toner, which people may inhale or may stain clothes and hand.
