Before using the machine
Do not place the machine in a hot, humid, dusty, or poorly ventilated environment. Prolonged
exposure to these adverse conditions can cause fire or electric shocks.
The machine has ventilation holes on both sides. Ensure that the machine is installed with a minimum
clearance of 100 mm from the vent to the wall. A poorly ventilated machine can cause excessive
internal heat and fire. The accompanying diagram shows the minimum clearances required for normal
operation, consumables replacement, and maintenance to ensure your machine operates at peak
performance.

For power & earth connection
Before using the machine
Two power specifications are listed below. The specifications that apply to your machine depend on
your machine configuration. Connect the power plug only to a properly rated power outlet. Otherwise,
it can cause fire or electric shocks. If in doubt, contact our Customer Support Centre or your dealer.
• Rated voltage 100 to 120 V, 8.6 A
Rated frequency 50/60 Hz
• Rated voltage 220 to 240 V, 4.3 A
Rated frequency 50/60 Hz
Ensure that the plug connection is free of dust. In a damp environment, a contaminated connector can
draw a non-negligible amount of current that can generate heat and eventually cause fire over an
extended period of time.
Do not attempt to rework, pull, bend, chafe, or otherwise damage the power cord. Do not place a heavy
object on the cord. A damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.
Never touch a power cord with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
Stop operation immediately if your machine produces smoke, excessive heat, unusual noise, or smell,
or if water is spilt onto the machine. These conditions can cause fire. Immediately switch off and
unplug the machine, and contact our Customer Support Centre.
1
Plug the power cord directly into a grounded electrical outlet easily accessible. Do not use an
extension cord. If you do not know whether an outlet is grounded, consult a qualified electrician.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in an electric shock.
If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask our Customer Support Centre or your
dealer for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.
Use only the power cord specified for this printer. Using a different cord may cause fire or electric
shock. Do not use the machine’s power cord on any other equipment.
Do not unplug or replug the machine while it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the plug
and cause fire.
1 - 6
Before using the machine
When unplugging the machine, grasp the plug instead of the cord. Forcibly pulling on a cord can
damage it and cause fire or electric shocks.
Be sure to switch off and unplug the machine before accessing the interior of the machine for cleaning,
maintenance, or fault clearance. Access to a live machine's interior can cause electric shocks.
When the machine is not used over an extended period of time, switch it off and unplug it. If an unused
machine is left connected to a power source for a long period, degraded insulation can cause electric
shocks, current leakages, or fire.
Once a month, unplug the machine and check the power cord for the following:
• The power cord is plugged firmly into a receptacle.
• The plug is not excessively heated, rusted, or bent.
• The plug and receptacle are free of dust.
• The cord is not cracked or frayed.
If you notice any unusual conditions, contact our Customer Support Centre.
For machine operation
1
Do not place any liquid container such as a vase or coffee cup on the machine. Spilt water can cause
a fire or shock hazard.
Do not place any metal parts such as staples or clips on the machine. If metal and flammable parts
get into the machine, they can short-circuit internal components, and cause fire or electric shocks.
If debris (metal or liquid) gets into the machine, switch off and unplug the machine. Contact our
Customer Support Centre. Operating a debris-contaminated machine can cause fire or electric
shocks.
Never open or remove machine covers that are secured with screws unless specifically instructed in
this guide. A high voltage component can cause electric shocks.
Do not try to alter the machine configuration, or modify any parts. An unauthorized modification can
cause smoke or fire.
1 - 7
Before using the machine
Do not play this CD-ROM using an incompatible CD-ROM player. Playing at high volume levels can
cause hearing damage and speaker failure.
This equipment is certified as a Class 1 laser product under [IEC60825]. This means that the machine
does not emit hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely
confined within the protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the
machine during any phase of user operation. Do not perform any operation apart from the instructions given
in the manual. There may be a danger of laser beam leakage.
Never touch a labelled area found on or near the fuser unit. You can get burnt. If a sheet of paper is
wrapped around the heat roller, do not try to remove it by yourself to avoid injuries or burns. Switch
off the machine immediately, and contact our Customer Support Centre.
After you have just used the printer, some parts inside the printer are extremely hot. When you open
the front cover or back cover of the printer, never touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.
Wait for the printer to cool down before you touch the internal parts of the printer.

For consumables
Before using the machine
Never throw a toner cartridge into an open flame. Toner remaining in the cartridge can cause an
explosion and you can get burnt.
Never use a vacuum cleaner when you clean spilled toner. It can cause explosion as the toner fills the
vacuum cleaner and gets sparks. Use a broom or a wet cloth.
Never heat the drum in a drum cartridge, or scratch its surface. A heated or scratched drum can be
hazardous to your health.
Be careful not to inhale the toner.
If your clothes are smeared with toner, wipe off the toner with a dry cloth and immediately wash the
clothes in cold water to avoid stains.

5 Using both hands, put one piece of paper or one
envelope in the manual feed slot until the front edge of
the paper or envelope touches the paper feed roller.
When you feel the machine pull in the paper, let go.
Note
• Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.
• Make sure that the paper or transparency is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed slot.
If it is not, the paper or the transparency may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a
paper jam.
• Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.
• If you put any Media (paper, transparency and so on) in the manual feed slot before the printer is in
the Ready state, the media may be ejected without being printed on.

Step 5 above. Repeat for each page that you want to print.
Note
If you print on transparencies, remove each transparency immediately after printing. Stacking the printed
transparencies may cause a paper jam or the transparency to curl.
