Used
R
WARNING:
Do not use flammable sprays or sol-•
vents in the vicinity of this machine.
Also, avoid placing these items in the
vicinity of this machine. Doing so could
result in fire or electric shock.
Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, •
toiletries, medicines, small metal
objects, or containers holding water
or any other liquids, on or close to this
machine. Fire or electric shock could
result from spillage or if such objects
or substances fall inside this machine.
R
CAUTION:
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.
Do not place heavy objects on the ma-•
chine. Doing so can cause the machine to
topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
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.
Keep the machine in an area that is •
within optimum environmental conditions.
Operating the machine in an environment
that is outside the recommended ranges
A-1
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.
Do not obstruct the machine’s vents. •
Doing so risks fire caused by overheated
internal components.
Handling Power Cords and Power Plugs
R
WARNING:
Do not use any power sources other •
than those that match the specifications shown in this manual. Doing so
could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use any frequencies other than •
those that match the specifications
shown. Doing so could result in fire or
electric shock.
Do not use multi-socket adaptors. •
Doing so could result in fire or electric
shock.
Do not use extension cords. Doing so •
could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use power cords that are dam-•
aged, 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 or electric shock.
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 disconnect the plug from •
the wall outlet at least once a year and
check for the following:
There are burn marks on the plug.•
The prongs on the plug are de-•
formed.
If any of the above conditions exist, •
A-2
do not use the plug and consult your
dealer or service representative. Use of
the plug could result in fire or electric
shock.
Be sure to disconnect the power cord •
from the wall outlet at least once a year
and check for the following:
The power cord’s inner wires are •
exposed, broken, etc.
The power cord’s coating has a crack •
or dent.
When bending the power cord, the •
power turns off and on.
Part of the power cord becomes hot.•
The power cord is damaged.•
If any of the above conditions exist, •
do not use the power cord and consult
your dealer or service representative.
Use of the power cord could result in
fire or electric shock.
R
CAUTION:
If this machine is not going to be used for •
several days or longer at a time, disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet.
When performing maintenance on the ma-•
chine, always disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet.
When disconnecting the power cord from •
the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not
the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the
power cord. Use of damaged power cords
could result in fire or electric shock.
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.
Be sure to push the plug of the power cord •
fully into the wall outlet. Partially inserted
plugs create an unstable connection that
can result in unsafe buildup of heat.
Handling the Machine
R
WARNING:
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.
If the machine emits smoke or odours, •
or if it behaves unusually, you must
turn off its power immediately. After
turning off the power, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the
wall outlet. Then contact your service
representative and report the problem.
Do not use the machine. Doing so
could result in fire or electric shock.
If metal objects, or water or other fluids •
fall inside this machine, you must turn
off its power immediately. After turning
off the power, be sure to disconnect the
power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Then contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use
the machine. Doing so could result in
fire or electric shock.
Do not touch this machine if a lightning •
strike occurs in the immediate vicinity.
Doing so could result in electric shock.
The following explains the warning •
messages on the plastic bag used in
this product’s packaging.
Keep the polythene materials (bags, •
gloves, etc.) supplied with this
machine away from babies and small
children at all times. Suffocation

Handling the Machine’s Supplies
R
WARNING:
Do not incinerate toner (new or used) •
or toner containers. Doing so risks
burns. Toner will ignite on contact with
naked flame.
Do not store toner (new or used) or •
toner containers anywhere near naked
flames. Doing so risks fire and burns.
Toner will ignite on contact with naked
flame.
Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove •
spilled toner (including used toner).
Absorbed toner may cause a fire or
explosion due to electrical contact
flickering inside the vacuum cleaner.
However, it is possible to use a vacuum
cleaner that is explosion-proof and
dust ignition-proof.
If toner is spilled on the floor, remove
the spilled toner slowly using a wet
cloth, so that the toner is not scattered.
