1. Precautions
1-1 Safety precautions
Read each caution carefully
1. Do not use the pinter near water or when exposed to inclement weather.
2. Do not place this printer on an unstable cart, stand or table, the product may fall, causing
serious damage to the product.
3. Slots and openings on the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation
and to protect the printer from overheation, do not block or cover any of these openings. Do
not place the printer in an enclosure unless the enclosure providesadequate ventilation.
4. Never push any kind of objects into the printer through the cabinet ventilaition slots as they
may touch dangerous hihg voltage points, create short circuits, cause a fire, or produce an
electrical shock. Never spill any kind of liquid on the printer.
5. Do not place the printer in a lacation where someone may trip on the cord.
6. Select a work surface that is lartge enough to hold the printer.
7. Operate this printer using the power source (110V, 220V, etc) indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power source available, consult your dealer or local power
company.
8. If you need to use an extension power cord with this printer, make sure that is uses a threewire grounded cord and that the total ampere ratings for all of the products using the
extension, do not exceed the extension cord ampere ration.
9. Do not allow anything to rest on th power cord or data communications cable.
10. Unplug this printer from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
sprays. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
11. Do not touch the surface of the photo-sensitive drum as marks ro scratches may impair print
quality.
12. Do not expose the drum unit to direct light for prolonged periods.
13. Use only standard papers, OHP films and approved envelopes.
1-2 Laser Safety Statement
Caution: Never operate and service the printer with the protective cover removed from Laser Scanner
Assembly. The reflective beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes
The printer is certified in the U.S to conform to the requirement of DHHS 21CFR Subchapter J for Class I(1) laser
product, and elsewhere is certified as a class I laser product conforming to the requirement of IEC 825.
Class I laser product are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never
any human assess to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed
service condition

2-2. Diagnostic Control Unit
2-2-1. Abstract
The diagnostic Control Unit(DCU) is useful for troubleshooting the Laser beam printer ML Series engines,
and for checking printer status.
The DCU can be used in common for ML series, but each model has several different code description.
Refer to the code description for ML-7000 in next page.
< Fig 1-1. ML-80 DCU >
