Safety Information

When using your printer, the following safety precautions should always be followed.

In this manual, the following important symbols are used:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.

Read This First

• Only connected the machine to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual.

• Avoid multi-wiring.

• Do not damage, break or make any modifications 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 system, there is a risk of serious eye damage.

• If the machine looks damaged or breaks down, smoke 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 power switches, and unplug the main power cord. Contact your service representative. Do not keep using the machine with a fault or defect.

• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols. A fire or an electric shock might occur.

• 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.

• Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

• If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to 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 or a fire.

• Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so that in event of an emergency, it can be unplugged easily.

• To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual.

• Enclosed set of power cord is only for the use with this product and should not be used with any other electronic equipment or appliances. Do not use any other power cord with this product. They could cause electric shock or fire.

Read This First

• 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.

• When you move the machine, unplug the power code from the wall outlet to avoid fire or electric shock.

• When machine will not be used for a long time, unplug the power code.

• When you pull out the plug from the socket, grip the plug to avoid damaging

the cord and causing fire or electric shock.

• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing so might cause an electrical shock.

• 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.

• Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, it might fall and injure someone.

• If you use the machine in a confined space, ensure there is continuous air circulation.

• Do not reuse stapled paper. Do not use aluminum foil, carbon-containing 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.

• The fusing unit becomes very hot. When installing a new fusing unit, turn off the printer and wait about an hour. After that, install the new fusing unit. Not waiting for the unit to cool could result in a burn.

• Touch only the handles, no other parts. The fusing unit gets very hot and will burn your hands if you touch it.

• This machine has been tested for safety using this suppliers parts and consumables. We recommend you only use these specified supplies.

• Do not eat or swallow toner.

• 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.

Read This First

• If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected

area thoroughly with soap and water.

• 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.

• 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.

• Deliver to collection point for waste products. Do not be disposed of via domestic refuse collection.

• The inside of the machine becomes very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating a “hot surface”. Touching a “hot surface” could result in a burn (v: means “hot surface”).

❒ Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collec-

tion site.

❒ When you use this machine for a long time in a confined space without good

ventilation, you may detect an odd smell. To keep the workplace comfortable, we recommend that you keep it well ventilated.

❒ Rating voltage of the connector for options: Max. DC 24 V.

❒ Voltage must not fluctuate more than 10%.
