• Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.
• The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire, electric shock, or injury.
• It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

• If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or broken, contact your service representative for a replacement. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
• Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency.
• Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock might occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury might occur.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.
• Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
• Machine sound levels exceeding [Sound Power Level (Black and White)] > 63 dB (A) are not suitable for desk work environments, so place the machine in another room.
• When new, electrical devices containing volatile materials will normally release emissions into the air of their vicinity. For this reason, for the first few days after installation of a new device, strong ventilation inside the room where it is placed is necessary.

Unpacking

To protect it from shock and vibration during transit, this printer comes packaged in cushioning foam and secured with tape. Remove these protective materials after bringing the machine to where it will be installed.
• Keep the polythene materials (bags, etc.) supplied with this machine away from babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can result if polythene materials are brought into contact with the mouth or nose.
• Do not incinerate toner (new or used) or toner containers. Doing so risks burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.
• Do not crush or squeeze toner containers. Doing so can cause toner spillage, possibly resulting in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental ingestion.
• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• Be careful not to trap your fingers when opening or closing the top cover.

• When lifting the machine, use the inset grips on both sides. The printer could break or cause an injury if dropped.
• Removed tape is dirty. Be careful not to let it touch your hands or clothes.
• Do not grip on the tray area when lifting the printer.
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the printer.
• Keep the uncovered print cartridge away from direct sunlight.
• When you use this printer for the first time, use the four print cartridges supplied with the printer.
• Print cartridge (consumables) are not covered by warranty. However, if there is problem, contact the store where they were purchased.
1. Remove the plastic bag.
2. Lift the printer with two people by using the inset grips on both sides of the printer.
Leave the tape holding the paper feed tray and cover in place while moving the printer. Lower the machine slowly and carefully to prevent trapping your hands.

This chapter explains how to connect network and USB cables.

Ethernet Cable Connection

Prepare a hub and other network devices, and connect the Ethernet cable to the printer.
Connect 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX cable to the printer's Ethernet port. For 1000BASE-T, the optional Gigabit Ethernet board is required.
• A network interface cable with a ferrite core must be used for RF interference suppression.
• For users outside the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet emission limits.
• For users in the United States of America: properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors must be used for connections to a host computer (and/or peripheral) in order to meet FCC emission limits.
• An Ethernet cable is not supplied with this printer. Select your cable according to the network environment.
• The printer's Ethernet and USB ports are not available when the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached to the printer.

1. If the Wireless LAN unit is receiving power, the upper indicator will be lit green.
2. If the printer is connected to an operational network and is communicating normally, the lower indicator will be lit orange.

Cautions When Using a Wireless LAN

A Wireless LAN uses radio waves instead of cables to send and receive data. Because radio waves usually pass through walls and other obstructions, the following problems may arise if you do not configure wireless security settings.
Information leakage
Information such as IDs, passwords, credit card numbers, and e-mail content may be seen by an unauthorized 3rd party.
Unauthorized network access
• Damage to or alteration of data and/or system configurations by viruses or other malware.
• Impersonation of legitimate network users, resulting in data theft.
• Theft of sensitive or confidential data.
To minimize the possibility of these threats, it is recommended that you check the available features of this printer, wireless access points, and other equipment that uses the Wireless LAN, and configure security settings for the Wireless LAN.
