Notice for users in the UK

MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The mains lead of this equipment is already fi tted 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 refi t the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fi tted.
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 fi tted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable
plug is fi tted and fi t 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 fi t 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:

GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth

BLUE: Neutral

BROWN: Live

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
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.

Power notes

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. Do not use an extension cord or
adapter to connect other devices to the power outlet used by the machine. Using an improper power
supply may cause fire or electrical shock.

* For the power supply requirements, see the name plate in the lower left corner of the left side of the

machine.

Indicates a risk of death or serious injury.

DO NOT
DISASSEMBLE

WARNING

Do not damage or modify the power cord.

Placing heavy objects on the power cord, pulling it, or forcibly bending it
will damage the cord, resulting in fi re or electrical shock.

WARNING

MANDATORY
ACTIONS

CAUTION

Indicates a risk of human injury or property damage.

When removing the power plug from the outlet, do not pull on the cord.

Pulling on the cord may cause damage such as wire exposure and breakage, and may result in fi re or
electrical shock.

If you will not use the machine for a long time, be sure to remove the power plug from the outlet for
safety.

Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.

This may cause electrical shock.

CAUTION

When moving the machine, switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the outlet
before moving.

The cord may be damaged, creating a risk of fi re or electrical shock.

Installation notes

CAUTION

Do not install the machine on an unstable or slanted surface. Install the machine on a surface that can
withstand the weight of the machine.

Risk of injury due to the machine falling or toppling.

If peripheral devices are to be installed, do not install on an uneven fl oor, slanted surface, or otherwise
unstable surface. Danger of slippage, falling, and toppling. Install the product on a fl at, stable surface that can
withstand the weight of the product.

Do not install in a location with moisture or dust.

Risk of fi re and electrical shock.
If dust enters the machine, dirty output and machine failure may result.

Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid, or dry
(near heaters, humidifiers, air conditioners, etc.)

The paper will become damp and condensation may form
inside the machine, causing misfeeds and dirty output.

SPECIFICATIONS (page 18)
If the location has an ultrasonic humidifi er, use pure water
for humidifi ers in the humidifi er. If tap water is used, minerals
and other impurities will be emitted, causing impurities to
collect on the inside of the machine and create dirty output.

When the machine is installed, the adjusters (4) must be lowered to the
floor to secure the machine (prevent it from moving).

Rotate the adjusters in the locking direction until they are in fi rm contact
with the fl oor.

If you find it necessary to reposition the machine due to
rearrangement of your office layout or other reason, retract the
adjusters from the floor, turn off the power, and then move the
machine.

(After moving the machine, lower the adjusters again to secure the
machine.)

Locations exposed to direct sunlight

Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may result.

Lock

Release

Locations with ammonia gas

Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may cause
dirty output.

Do not install the machine in a location with poor air
circulation.

A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during
printing. The amount of ozone created is not suffi cient to be
harmful; however, an unpleasant odor may be noticed during
large copy runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a
room with a ventilation fan or windows that provide suffi cient air
circulation. (The odor may occasionally cause headaches.)
* Install the machine so that people are not directly exposed to

exhaust from the machine. If installed near a window, ensure
that the machine is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Near a wall

Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for
servicing and proper ventilation. (The machine should be no
closer than the distances indicated below from walls. The
indicated distances are for the case when a saddle fi nisher and
large capacity paper tray are not installed.)

Locations subject to vibration.

Vibration may cause failure.

30 cm

30 cm

45 cm

CAUTION

The machine includes a built-in hard drive. Do not subject the machine to shock or vibration. In particular, never
move the machine while the power is on.

• The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.

• 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.
