INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
■Environment
CAUTION
• Avoid placing the copier on or in locations which are
unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the
copier to fall down or fall over. This type of situation
presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the
copier. .........................................................................
• 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. ....
• Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat
sources, or locations near flammable items, to avoid
the danger of fire.........................................................
• To keep the copier cool and facilitate changing of
parts and maintenance, allow access space as shown
below.
Leave adequate space, especially around the left
cover, to allow air to be properly ventilated out of the
copier. .........................................................................

■Power supply/Grounding the copier
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 copier 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
• Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible
to the copier.
• The power supply cord is used as the main
disconnect device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily
accessible.
■Handling of plastic bags
WARNING
• Keep the plastic bags that are used with the copier
away from children. The plastic may cling to their
nose and mouth causing suffocation. .........................
Other precautions
• Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe
operation and performance of the copier. Install in an
air-conditioned room (recommended room
temperature: around 68°F(20°C), humidity: around
65%RH) and avoid the following locations when
selecting a site for the copier.
. 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.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
■Cautions when using the copier
WARNING
• DO NOT place metallic objects or containers with
water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or
near the copier. This of situation presents a danger of
fire or electrical shock should they fall inside..............
• DO NOT remove any of the covers from the copier as
there is a danger of electrical shock from high voltage
parts inside the copier.................................................
• 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 danger of fire or
electrical shock. ..........................................................
• NEVER attempt to repair or disassemble the copier 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 copier becomes excessively hot, smoke
appears from the copier, there is an odd smell, or any
other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of
fire or electrical shock. Turn the main switch OFF (O)
immediately, remove the power plug from the outlet
and contact your service representative. ....................
• If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids,
etc.) falls into the copier, turn the main switch OFF
(O) immediately. Next, 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. ......................
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 removing the power cord from the outlet.) ........
• ALWAYS remove the power plug from the outlet when
moving the copier. If the power cord is damaged,
there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. ................
• If the copier will not be used for a short period of time
(overnight, etc.), turn the main 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 purposes during the time the copier is
not in use. ...................................................................
• ALWAYS hold the designated parts only when lifting
or moving the copier. ..................................................
• For safety purposes, ALWAYS remove the power
plug from the outlet when performing cleaning
operations. ..................................................................
• If dust accumulates within the copier, 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 service
representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the
internal parts of the copier. .........................................
Other precautions
• DO NOT place heavy objects on the copier or cause
other damage to the copier.
• DO NOT open the front cover, turn off the main
switch, or pull out the power plug during copying.
• During copying, some ozone is released, but the
amount does not cause any ill effect to one's health.
If, however, the copier is used over a long period of
time in a poorly ventilated room or when making an
extremely large number of copies, the smell may
become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate
environment for copy work, it is suggested that the
room be properly ventilated.
• When lifting or moving the copier, 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.
• CAUTION : Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• Do not open any cover or turn the power off while the
motor inside can be heard regardless of the condition
of the copier.
■Cautions when handling
consumables
CAUTION
• Avoid inhalation, ingestion, skin or eye contact. If
ingestion occurs, dilute stomach contents thoroughly
with water and seek medical treatment. If skin contact
occurs, wash with soap and water. If contact with
eyes occurs, flush thoroughly with water and seek
medical treatment. ......................................................
• Prolonged inhalation of excessive dusts may cause
lung damage. Use of this product, as intended, does
not result in inhalation of excessive dusts. .................
• Keep away from children. ...........................................
• Do not incinerate toner and toner containers.
Dangerous sparks may cause burn. ...........................
Other precautions
• Always read the safety instructions which are
included in the box or printed on the container when
handling consumables.
• Dispose of the toner or toner containers in
accordance with Federal, State and Local rules and
regulations.
• Store consumables in a cool, dark location.
• If the copier 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.
