below carefully before servicing the printer and follow them closely.

1.1 Safety Warning

(1) Only to be serviced by appropriately qualified service engineers.

High voltages and lasers inside this product are dangerous. This printer should only be serviced by a suitably
trained and qualified service engineer.

(2) Use only Samsung replacement parts

There are no user serviceable parts inside the printer. Do not make any unauthorized changes or
additions to the printer, these could cause the printer to malfunction and create electric shock or fire haz-ards.

(3) Laser Safety Statement

The Printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR, chapter 1 Subchapter J for
Class 1(1) laser products, and elsewhere, it is certified as a Class I laser product
conforming to the requirements of IEC 825. Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The
laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I
level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.

Warning >> Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed from Laser/Scanner assembly. The

reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes. When using this product, these basic safety
pre-cautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons.

1.2 Caution for safety

1.2.1 Toxic material

This product contains toxic materials that could cause illness if ingested.

(1) If the LCD control panel is damaged it is possible for the liquid inside to leak. This liquid is toxic. Contact with the skin

should be avoided, wash any splashes from eyes or skin immediately and contact your doctor. If the liquid gets into
the mouth or is swallowed see a doctor immediately.

(2) Please keep toner cartridges away from children. The toner powder contained in the toner cartridge may be harmful

and if swallowed you should contact a doctor.

1.2.2 Electric Shock and Fire Safety Precautions

Failure to follow the following instructions could cause electric shock or potentially cause a fire.

(1) Use only the correct voltage, failure to do so could damage the printer and potentially cause a fire or electric

shock.

(2) Use only the power cable supplied with the printer. Use of an incorrectly specified cable could cause the cable

to overheat and potentially cause a fire.

(3) Do not overload the power socket, this could lead to overheating of the cables inside the wall and could lead to

a fire.

(4) Do not allow water or other liquids to spill into the printer, this can cause electric shock. Do not allow paper

clips, pins or other foreign objects to fall into the printer these could cause a short circuit leading to an electric
shock or fire hazard..

(5) Never touch the plugs on either end of the power cable with wet hands, this can cause electric shock. When

servicing the printer remove the power plug from the wall socket.

(6) Use caution when inserting or removing the power connector. The power connector must be inserted com-

pletely otherwise a poor contact could cause overheating possibly leading to a fire. When removing the power
connector grip it firmly and pull.

(7) Take care of the power cable. Do not allow it to become twisted, bent sharply round corners or otherwise

damaged. Do not place objects on top of the power cable. If the power cable is damaged it could overheat and
cause a fire or exposed cables could cause an electric shock. Replace a damaged power cable immediately,
do not reuse or repair the damaged cable. Some chemicals can attack the coating on the power cable,
weakening the cover or exposing cables causing fire and shock risks.

(8) Ensure that the power sockets and plugs are not cracked or broken in any way. Any such defects should be

repaired immediately. Take care not to cut or damage the power cable or plugs when moving the machine.

(9) Use caution during thunder or lightening storms. Samsung recommend that this machine be disconnected from

the power source when such weather conditions are expected. Do not touch the machine or the power cord if it
is still connected to the wall socket in these weather conditions.

(10) Avoid damp or dusty areas, install the printer in a clean well ventilated location. Do not position the machine

near a humidifier. Damp and dust build up inside the machine can lead to overheating and cause a fire.

(11) Do not position the printer in direct sunlight. This will cause the temperature inside the printer to rise possibly

leading to the printer failing to work properly and in extreme conditions could lead to a fire.

(12) Do not insert any metal objects into the machine through the ventilator fan or other part of the casing, it could

make contact with a high voltage conductor inside the machine and cause an electric shock.
