Introduction
This manual describes detailed instructions on the operation and notes about the use of this machine.
To get maximum versatility from this machine all operators are requested to read this manual carefully
and follow the instructions. Please keep this manual in a handy place near the machine.
Power Source
220 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 6 A or more
Please be sure to connect the power cable to a power source as above.
Operator Safety:
This printer is considered a class 1 laser device, safe for office/EDP use. The printer contains 7 milliwat,
645 - 660 nanometer wavelength, AlGaInp Laser Diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with
the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have
been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator.
The following label is attached on the back of the printer.
Laser Safety:
The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment.
The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is
not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.
Important
Contents of this manual are subject to change without prior notice. In no event will the company be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages as a result of handling or operating the machine.
Caution:
Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual
might result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Do not attempt any maintenance or troubleshooting other than that mentioned in this manual. This
printer contains a laser beam generator and direct exposure to laser beams can cause permanent eye
damage.
Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the metric version.
For good copy quality, the supplier recommends that you use genuine toner from the supplier.
The supplier shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use of parts
other than genuine parts from the supplier with your office products.

When using your equipment, the following safety precautions should always be
followed.
Safety During Operation
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:
WARNING:
CAUTION:
Ignoring this warning could cause serious injury or even death.
Ignoring this caution could cause injury or damage to property.
ii
R WARNING:
• 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.
• 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 used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of the used toner containers according to local regulations for plastics.
•
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.
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.
• 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.
• 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, 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.
• This machine has been tested for safety using this suppliers parts and consumables. We recommend you only use these specified supplies.
• Touch only the handles, no other parts. The fuser oil unit gets very hot and
will burn your hands if you touch it.
• Do not eat or swallow toner.
• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
• Deliver to collection point for waste products. Do not be disposed of via do-
mestic 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”).
• The User Account Enhance Unit installed on the controller has a IC2 lithium
battery which can explode if replaced incorrectly. Replace the User Account
Enhance Unit only with the indicated one.
• Do not place the IC2 lithium battery near or into fire, or it will explode and
cause a burn.
• Keep the fuser oil unit away from flames. There is a risk of fire or burns.
• Keep the waste oil bottle away from flames. There is a risk of fire or burns.
iv
Note
❒ Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collec-
tion site. An IC2 lithium battery is inside the User Account Enhance Unit.
❒ If you are disposing the User Account Enhance Unit, separate the IC2 lithium
battery from the board and dispose of them according to local regulations.
❒ To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this machine in a large well ven-
tilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m

/hr/person.
❒ When you use this machine for a long time in a confined space without good
ventilation, you may notice an odd smell. To keep the workplace comfortable,
we recommend that you keep it well ventilated.

Where to Put the Printer
The printer's location should be carefully chosen because environmental conditions greatly affect its performance.
WARNING:
•
Confirm the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible,
so that in the event of emergency, it can be easily unplugged.
• Only connect the machine to the power source described on this
sheet.
•
Avoid multi-wiring.
•
Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cable. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more
than necessary. These actions could damage the cable. A frayed or
damaged cable might cause an electrical fire hazard.
CAUTION:
• Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing so might cause an electri-
cal shock.
• Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental con-
ditions. 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.
