Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:
1. Read and understand all instructions.
2. Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature
accompanying the machine.
4. If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the
safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you
cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for
assistance.
5. Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
6. Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing
serious damage.
7. Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air
conditioner or ventilation duct.
8. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your machine
where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
9. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance,
and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, or PC interface cords.
11. Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet
openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or
shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.
12. You machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for
the best scanning. In this case, replace the cover after placing document on the
scan glass, by holding and moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to
a qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect
reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
8
14. Unplug the machine from the, PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or
frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.
• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.
• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
15. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive
work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.
16. Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk
of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power cord for the
duration of the lightning storm.
17. If you print large amount of copies, the surface of the output tray may become
hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children away from the surface.
18. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

I
MPORTANT
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and
has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct
13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover,
do not use the plug until you have another fuse cover.
Please contact the company from where the machine was purchased.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable.
However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets.
You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
W
ARNING
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug
it into a socket.
I
MPORTANT WARNING
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
: You must earth this machine.
• Green and Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the
following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by
the safety `Earth symbol' or colored green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or
colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or
colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

evenly inside the cartridge.
Thoroughly rolling the cartridge will assure the maximum
copies per cartridge.
C
AUTIONS
• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for
more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper if left
exposed for more than a few minutes, and keep it flat and clean
place.
