Printer
Cautions to Take When Cleaning
WARNING:
• 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.
CAUTION:
• When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing section because it could be very hot.
Clean the printer periodically to maintain fine printing.
Dry wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. If dry wiping is not enough, wipe with a
soft, wet cloth that is wrung out well. If you still cannot remove the stain or
grime, use a neutral detergent, then wipe over with a well-wrung wet cloth, dry
wipe, and let it dry.
Important
❒ To avoid deformation, discoloration, or cracking, do not use volatile chemi-
cals, such as benzine and thinner, or spray insecticide on the printer.
❒ If there is dust or grime inside the printer, wipe with a clean, dry cloth.

Paper Recommendations
Paper Recommendations
Loading Paper
Important
❒ Do not use paper that is meant for an ink-jet printer or it may stick to the Fus-
ing Unit and cause a paper misfeed.
❒ When printing on an OHP transparency that has a print side, load it with the
print side over on the Bypass Tray. Not taking this precaution may cause it to
stick to the Fusing Unit and cause a misfeed.
❒ Print quality cannot be guaranteed if recommended paper is not used. For de-
tails about recommended paper, contact your sales or service representative.
❒ Do not use paper that has already been printed onto by other printers.
Storing Paper
• Paper should always be stored properly. Improperly stored paper might result in poor print quality, paper misfeeds, or printer damage. Recommendations are as follows:
• Avoid storing paper in humid areas.
• Avoid exposing paper to direct sunlight.
• Store on a flat surface.
• Keep open reams of paper in the package in which the paper came.
