1. Note for servicing
Pictogram
The label (
) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the following:
: Caution, risk of danger 
: Caution, hot surface
A. Warning for servicing
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.
•Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.
B. Cautions for servicing
•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies. •Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.
•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily accessible.
C. Note for installation place
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.
Caution : If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may form inside the machine. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.
Do not install your machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•poorly ventilated
•exposed to direct sunlight
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air conditioner or heater.
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection and disconnection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
Note : Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation.
