Do not damage, break or make a ny modifica tions to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend
it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
•
Do not plug or unplug the power cord with your hands wet.
Otherwise, an electric shock might occur.
•
Make sure the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible so that in event of an emergency it can be unplugged easily.
•
Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual. Some parts of the machine are at a high
voltage and could give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser systems, direct (or indirect) reflected eye
contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage.
When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact your service representative.
•
Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss
of sight. If the machine has laser systems, there is a risk of
serious eye damage.
•
If the machine looks damaged or breaks down , smo ke is
coming out, there is a strange smell or anything looks unusual, immediately turn off the operation and main power
switches then unplug the power cord from the wall. Do not
continue using the machine in this condition. Contact your
service representative.
•
If metal, liquid or foreign matter falls into the machine, turn
off the operation and main po wer switches, and unplug the
main power cord. Contact your service representative. Do
not keep using the machine with a fault or defect.
•
Do not put any metal objects or containers holding water
(e.g. vases, flowerpots, glasses) on the machine. If the contents fall inside the machine, a fire or electric shock could
occur.
ii
•
Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust
might ignite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of the
used toner containers according to loca l reg ulation s for
plastics.
iii
R
CAUTION:
•
Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. A fire or an electric shock might occur.
•
Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, it could cause injury.
•
After you move the machine, fix it with the caster fixture. Otherwise, the machine might move or come down to cause a personal
injury.
•
Before moving the machine, be sure to pull all four handles fully
out. Not doing this may result in an injury, such as getting your
fingers pinched. After moving the machine, return the four handles to their original positions.
•
When the optional paper tray unit is installed, do not push the upper part of the main unit horizontally. If the paper tray unit becomes detached from the main unit, this could cause an injury.
•
When you move the machine, unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet to avoid fire or electric shock.
•
When the machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the
power cord.
•
When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid
damaging the cord and causing fire or electric shock.
•
If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a
continuous air turnover.
•
Do not reuse stapled paper. Do not use aluminum foil, carboncontaining paper or other conductive paper. Otherwise, a fire
might occur.
•
When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing section because it could be very hot.
