Power notes

WARNING

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.

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 fire or electrical shock.

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

This may cause electrical shock.

CAUTION

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 fire 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.

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 fire 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 floor, slanted surface, or otherwise unstable surface. Danger of slippage, falling, and toppling. Install the product on a flat, stable surface that can withstand the weight of the product. (Weight when various peripheral devices are installed: approx. 125.7 lbs. (57 kg))

Do not install in a location with moisture or dust.

Risk of fire 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.

Ambient environment (page 42)

If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure water for humidifiers in the humidifier. 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.

Locations exposed to direct sunlight

Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may result.

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 ventilation. Install so that exhaust from the machine does not directly contact people.

A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during printing. The amount of ozone created is not sufficient 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 sufficient 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.

CAUTIONS

Installation notes (continued)

CAUTION

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 finisher and large capacity paper tray are not installed.)

MX-B402:

	11-13/16"
11-13/16"	(30 cm) 17-23/32"

MX-B402SC:	11-13/16"
11-13/16"	(30 cm) 17-23/32"
(30 cm)	(45 cm)

Locations subject to vibration.

Vibration may cause failure.

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.

About consumables

CAUTION

Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire.

Toner may fly and cause burns.

Store a toner cartridge out of the reach of children.

Handling precautions

WARNING

Do not place a container of water or other liquid, or a metal object that might fall inside, on the machine.

If the liquid spills or the object falls into the machine, fire or electrical shock may result.

Do not remove the machine casing.

High-voltage parts inside the machine may cause electrical shock.

Do not make any modifications to this machine.

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine.

If gas from the spray comes in contact with hot electrical components or the fusing unit inside the machine, fire or electrical shock may result.

If you notice smoke, a strange odor, or other abnormality, do not use the machine.

If used in this condition, fire or electrical shock may result. Immediately switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the power outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department.

If a thunder storm begins, switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the outlet to prevent electrical shock and fire due to lightning.

If a piece of metal or water enters the machine, switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the power outlet.

Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department. Using the machine in this condition may result in electrical shock or fire.

CAUTION

Do not look directly at the light source.

Doing so may damage your

eyes.

Do not block the ventilation ports on the machine. Do not install the machine in a location that will block the ventilation ports.

Blocking the ventilation ports will cause heat to build up in the machine, creating a risk of fire.

The fusing unit and paper
exit area are hot. When
removing a misfeed, do
not touch the fusing unit
and paper exit area. Take
care not to burn yourself.
Fusing	Paper
unit	exit area

When loading paper, removing a misfeed, performing maintenance, closing the front and side covers, and inserting and removing trays, take care that your fingers are not pinched.

CAUTIONS

The machine includes the document filing function, which stores document image data on the machine's hard drive. Stored documents can be called up and printed or transmitted as needed. If a hard drive failure occurs, it will no longer be possible to call up the stored document data. To prevent the loss of important documents in the unlikely event of a hard drive failure, keep the originals of important documents or store the original data elsewhere.

With the exception of instances provided for by law, Sharp Corporation bears no responsibility for any damages or loss due to the loss of stored document data.
