CAUTIONS

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.

There is a 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. There is a danger of slippage, falling, and toppling. Install
the product on a flat, stable surface that can withstand the weight of the product. (Weight

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.

Do not touch the transfer belt or the transfer roller.

Scratches or smudges on the transfer belt or the transfer roller will
cause dirty prints.

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.

Do not throw toner, a toner container (toner cartridge), or a
waste toner box into a fire.

Toner may fly and cause burns.

Do not install in a location with moisture or dust.

condensation inside the machine. If condensation has formed
inside the machine, turn off the main power. Turning on the main
power when condensation has formed inside the machine may cause a failure.
Leave the right cover open until the condensation evaporates naturally.
To keep foreign matter from getting on the primary transfer belt unit or secondary
transfer roller unit while the right cover is open, place a cover over the opening.
