Laser safety
Laser notice
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation
Performance Standard according to Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce
hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is
completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user
operation.
This printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS
21 CFR Subchapter for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is
certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC
825.

Installation Precautions
Environment
Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable
or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down
or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal
injury or damage to the machine.
.... [Remove the power plug from the outlet]
[Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground

connection]
CAUTION:
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt
become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the
danger of fire or electrical shock.
xivOPERATION GUIDE
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or
locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and
maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave
adequate space, especially around the vents, to allow air to be
properly ventilated out of the machine.
300mm
Other Precautions
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and
performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room
(recommended room temperature: around 23°C, humidity: around 60%
RH), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site for the
machine.
•Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight.
•Avoid locations with vibrations.
•Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations.
•Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
•Avoid poorly ventilated locations.

During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause
any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long
period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely
large number of copies, the smell may become unple a san t. To ma in tain
the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be
properly ventilated.
OPERATION GUIDExv
Power Supply/Grounding the Machine
WARNING:
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that
specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same outlet. These
types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects
come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire
or electric shock.
Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground
connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock in case
of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, contact
your service representative.
Other Precautions
Handling of Plastic Bags
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensu re that
the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily
accessible.
WARNING:
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from
children. The plastic may cling to their nose and mouth causing
suffocation.
xviOPERATION GUIDE
Precautions for Use
Cautions when Using the Machine
Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower
vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This
situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they
fall inside.
Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a
danger of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the
machine.
Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not
place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or
cause any other type of damage.
These types of situations present a dange r of fire or elec t rica l
shock.
WARNING:
Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts
as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the
laser. If the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing
blindness.
If the machine becomes excessively hot, sm ok e ap pe a rs fr om
the machine, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal
situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn
the power switch off (O) immediately, be absolutely certain to
remove the power plug from the outlet and then contact your
service representative.
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into
the machine, turn the power switch off (O) immediately. Next, be
absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the outlet to
avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your
service representative.
Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as
there is a danger of electrical shock.
Always contact your service representative for maintenance or
repair of internal parts.
OPERATION GUIDExvii
CAUTION
Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power
cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a danger of fire
or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug when remo vin g the
power cord from the outlet.)
Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the
machine. If the power cord is d ama ge d, the re is a d ang er of fire
or electrical shock.
If the machine will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (O). If it will not be
used for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the
power plug from the outlet for safety purpose s during the time the
machine is not in use.
Always hold the designated parts when lifting or moving the
machine.
For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the
outlet when performing cleaning operations.
If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire
or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult
with your service representative in regard to cleaning of internal
parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to
seasons of high humidity. Consult with your servic e
representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the
machine.
Other Precautions
Do not place heavy objects on the machine or cause other damage to the
machine.
Do not open the upper front cover, turn off the power switch, or pull out the
power plug during copying.
When lifting or moving the machine, contact your service representative.
Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit boards.
They could be damaged by static electricity.
Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this handbook.
xviiiOPERATION GUIDE
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Cautions when Handling Consumables
CAUTION
Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner Container. Dangerous
sparks may cause burns.
Keep the Toner Container out of the reach of children.
If toner happens to spill from the Toner Container, avoid
inhalation and ingestion, as well as contact with your eyes and
skin.
•If you do happen to inhale toner, move to a place with fresh
air and gargle thoroughly with a large amount of water. If coughing
develops, contact a physician.
•If you do happen to ingest toner, rinse your mouth out with water and
drink 1 or 2 cups of water to dilute the contents of your stomach. If
necessary, contact a physician.
•If you do happen to get toner in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with
water. If there is any remaining tenderness, contact a physician.
•If toner does happen to get on your skin, wash with soap and water.
Do not attempt to force open or destroy the Toner Container.
Other Precautions
After use, always dispose of the Toner Container in accordance with
Federal, State and Local rules and regulations.
Store all consumables in a cool, dark location.
If the machine will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the
paper from the cassette, return it to its original package and reseal it.
