Laser Safety:
This equipment complies with requirements of IEC60825-1:2001 for class 1 laser
products.
This equipment contains four AlGaAs laser diodes, 6.2 milliwatt, 770 - 795 nanometer wavelength for each emitter.
This equipment does not emit hazardous light, since the beam is totally enclosed
during all customer modes of operation and maintenance.
Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious
eye damage.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
For good print quality, the supplier recommends that you use genuine toner,
maintenance kits and parts from the supplier.
The supplier shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of consumables (toner, maintenance kits and parts) other than
genuine consumables from the supplier with your office products.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, may result
in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.
•Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols.
A fire or an electric shock might occur.
•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.
•Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical fire
hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust
can become an electrical fire hazard.
•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.

Handling Power Cords and Power Plugs
R WARNING:
R CAUTION:
•The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not
use with other appliances. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock,
or injury.
•The wall outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily
accessible.
•Connect the machine to the power source specified in this manual and
do not use any other power sources. Connect the power cord directly
to a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord. Power sources not
specified in this manual and extension cords are electric shock or fire
hazards.
•Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under
heavy objects, pulled hard, or bent severely are electric shock and fire
hazards.
•Plug and unplug the power cable with dry hands, or an electric shock
could occur.
•When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
•It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may result in
receiving an electric shock.
5
Handling the Machine
R WARNING:
R CAUTION:
•Wait for 30 minutes or more after disconnecting the power plug before
removing the transfer unit.
•Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If
the cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs
or cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard.
•Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine.
While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will
not be damaged under the machine.
•Do not connect the Ethernet port of the machine to a network that may supply excess voltage, such as a telephone line. Doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
•The printer weighs approximately 23 kg (50.6 lb.). When moving the printer,
use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly in pairs. The printer will
break or cause injury if dropped.
•When moving the printer after use, do not take out any of the toners, nor the
waste toner bottle to prevent toner spill inside the machine.
•When moving the printer, use the inset grips on both sides. The printer will
break or cause injury if dropped.
•Be careful not to trap your fingers when opening or closing the top cover.
6
Handling the Machine's Interior
R WARNING:
R CAUTION:
•Do not attempt any maintenance or troubleshooting other than that
mentioned in this manual. This machine contains a laser beam generator and direct exposure to laser beams can cause permanent eye
damage.
•Do not put your hands inside the printer when the input tray is removed. Some internal parts become hot and are a burn hazard.
•The inside of this printer becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled “v”
(indicating a hot surface).
•The fusing section of this machine might be very hot. Caution should be taken when removing misfed paper.
•Lifting the paper feed unit carelessly or dropping it may cause injury.
•Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and
cause an injury.
•Before installing the memory unit, turn off the printer's power switch and unplug the power cable. After installing the memory unit, be sure to close the
memory unit cover, and then turn the machine back on. Do not turn on the
machine before closing the memory unit cover.
•Take care to avoid cutting your hands when loading paper.

Handling the Consumables
R WARNING:
R CAUTION:
•Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of used toner containers
in accordance with local regulations.
•Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an
open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns of a fire.
•Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust might ignite
when exposed to an open flame.
•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 amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
•Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or
replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and water.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the
toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
•Our products are engineered to meet high standards of quality and functionality, and we recommend that you use only the expendable supplies available at an authorized dealer.

can become an electrical fire hazard.
•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.
•Machine sound levels exceeding 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.
