CAUTIONS

Follow the cautions below when using this copier.

●

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.

●

Place the copier on a firm, level surface.

●

Do not install the copier in a humid or dusty location.

●

When the copier 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 copier, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.

●

Do not cover the copier with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the copier.

●

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

Cautions on laser

Wave length 785 nm ±10 nm Pulse times (8.141 µs ±0.1 µs)/7 mm Output power 0.2 mW ±0.02 mW

Required in Appendix ZB of BS EN 60950 — United Kingdom

The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable (moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse to BS1362 marked or and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.

DANGER: The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol Å@, or coloured green or greenand-yellow. The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.
