Safety Information

Overview

Installation Hints

• Install your OKIOFFICE 87 MFP in a dust-free
location away from direct sunlight.

• Do not plug your MFP into a power source shared by
equipment which produces electrical noise (i.e., air
conditioners, etc.).

• Leave electronic adjustments to authorized service
personnel.

• The LINE terminal connects your fax machine to a
standard telephone line. T o avoid damage to your
telephone system or to the MFP, do not plug your fax
machine into anything other than a standard RJ-11C
jack.

• Y our MFP is intended to be grounded electrically and
is equipped with a three-wire grounded power cord. For
your safety , do not attempt to defeat your power cord’s
grounding plug.

• The power outlet should be located near the equipment
and should be easily accessible.

• The TEL port on the back of the unit is only suitable for
2-wire devices. Not all standard telephones will respond
to incoming ringing when connected to an extension
socket.

• This equipment may not necessarily provide for the
effective hand-over of a call from a telephone
connected to the same line.

Operation and Maintenance

• Use a dry cloth to clean the control panel and the main
body of the unit.

•

Aside from replacing the toner and image drum car­tridge, do not disassemble or attempt to service this
unit yourself. Refer to a qualified technician for service.

• Disconnect the power cord before trying to remove any
objects that may have fallen into the machine.

• When relocating your MFP, always disconnect the
telephone line before disconnecting the power cord,
then reconnect the power cord first.

Warranty, Regulatory Information, and Specifications 13

|

• This unit is not intended to be used in parallel with any
other telephone devices.

• If anything happens that indicates that the MFP is not
working properly or has been damaged, unplug it
immediately and follow the instructions in the “Service
and Support” section of your Setup Guide for having
your MFP serviced. These are some of the things to
look for:

- The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.

- Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has been

exposed to water.

- The MFP has been dropped, or the cabinet is dam-

aged.

- The MFP does not function properly when you’re

following the operating instructions.

Toner Cartridge & Image Drum Handling

• Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in
their packages until needed. When replacing a toner
cartridge or image unit, re-use the packaging to
dispose of the old toner cartridge or image drum unit.
Be sure to dispose of it in an environmentally sound
manner.

• Do not expose these components 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 surface of the green
drum inside the image drum unit.

• Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge. Do
not let it touch your clothing or porous materials. The
toner powder causes permanent stains.

• 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.

Emergency First Aid

•

If toner is swallowed:

water and induce vomiting by administering Syrup of
Ipecac (follow manufacturer’s instructions). Seek medi­cal attention. Never attempt to induce vomiting or give
anything by mouth to a person who is unconscious.

•

If toner is inhaled:

fresh air. Seek medical attention.

•

If toner gets in the eyes:

quantities of cool water for 15 minutes, keeping eyelids
open with fingers. Seek medical attention.

• See the
booklet for more information.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and
the receiver.

• Plug the unit into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio television
technician for help.

A properly shielded interface cable must be used in order
to ensure compliance of this equipment with FCC regula­tions.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Oki
Data may void your authority to operate this device.

designed to provide reasonable protection against harm­ful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference in which case the user will
be required to correct the interference at his own ex­pense.

It is the responsibility of the user to obtain the required
shielded cable in order to ensure compliance of this
equipment with FCC regulations.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Oki

Industry Canada (IC) Requirements for End
Users

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets
certain telecommunications network protective, opera­tional and safety requirements. The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satis­faction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure
that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of
the local telecommunications company . The equipment
must also be installed using an acceptable method of
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring
associated with a single line individual service may be
extended by means of a certified connector assembly
(telephone extension cord). The customer should be
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not
prevent degradation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an
authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user
to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give
the telecommunications company cause to request the
user to disconnect the equipment.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the
electrical ground connections of the power utility , tele­phone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if
present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.

• Users should not attempt to make such connections
themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric
inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Load Number assigned to each terminal device
denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected
to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to
prevent overloading. The termination of a loop may
consist of any combination of devices subject only to the
requirement that the total of the Load Numbers of all the
devices does not exceed 100.
