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.

- 9 -

Do not touch a damaged liquid-crystal display. If liquid (liquid crystal) leaked from the liquid-

crystal display gets into the eyes or mouth, ush

WARNING

Be sure to cut off the power supply when attaching or removing the power supply plug or the earth wire.

Be sure to connect an earth wire to the grounding terminal of exclusive use.

Please do not connect with the ground of a water pipe, a gas pipe, and a telephone wire, or lightning rod without fail.

Make sure to connect with the ground terminal before connecting the power cord to the power supply plug.

Be sure to perform extraction and insertion of the power cord with a power supply plug.

Insert the power supply plug into the wall socket securely.

Do not touch the power cord, or machine, if your hands are wet.

Install the power cord in a location where it will not be stepped on, and do not place objects on the power cord.

Do not twist, bind, or knot the power cord. Please do not use a damaged power cord. Do not carry out foot wiring. Do not connect this machine and other electric

products to the same wall socket. If connected simultaneously with an air-conditioner, a copy machine, shredder, etc., electric noise may interfere with operation. When the connection with the same wall socket is unavoidable,

please use a commercial noise lter or a

commercial noise cut transformer. Use the attached power cord and insert it

directory with the ground terminal. Do not use power cords intended for other products with this machine.

Do not use an extension cord. When use is unavoidable, use a cord rated higher than 15A.

Use of an extended cord may cause AC voltage decrease and interfere with normal operation.

During printing, do not shut off the power supply or pull out the power supply plug.

When not in use for consecutive holidays or longterm travel, pull out the power cord.

Do not use the attached power cord for other products.

Power Supply Conditions

Before Use

Usable Paper Types

For high-quality printing it is necessary to use paper that satises conditions regarding quality, thickness, paper nish, etc. If printing on paper not recommended by OKI, thoroughly test the print

quality and paper traveling performance, etc., and check that there are no impediments before use. If using a (paper) medium that is curled or wrinkled before printing, print quality and paper traveling

performance cannot be assured.
