When moving the machine, be sure to unplug the power cord from the outlet. If the machine is moved with the power cord connected, it can cause damage to the cord which could result in fire or electric shocks.

When moving the machine, do not tilt it more than an angle specified in the figure below. If tilted excessively, the machine may fall over and cause injuries.

When the optional 2 tray module is installed, be sure to lock the caster stoppers. An unlocked machine may fall over or slide and cause injuries.

● The machine is capable of operating normally within the following recommended

environmental limits. Temperature range 10–32°C Humidity range 15–85 % (no condensation) Humidity should be 65 % or below at 32°C, and temperature should be 28°C or below at 85 % humidity.

Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect copy quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can cause condensation inside the machine, directly interfering with image transfer.

● Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can

adversely affect the machine's performance.

● When moving the printer, remove the toner cartridges. Do not reuse toner

cartridges once you have removed them from the printer. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and impair print quality.

● Do not place the printer immediately next to an air conditioner or heater. Doing so

will affect the printer's internal temperature, possibly resulting in damage.

xvi

For Power & Earth Connection

Three 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 your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

• Rated voltage 100 V

Rated frequency 50/60 Hz

• Rated voltage 110 V

Rated frequency 60 Hz

• Rated voltage 220-240 V

Rated frequency 50/60 Hz Never use multi-plug adaptors to plug multiple power plugs in the same outlet. Be sure to operate the machine on a sole-use receptacle. Multiple connectors can cause the outlet to overheat and cause fire.

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.

Always use the power cord provided with your machine. When an extension power cord is required, always use a properly rated cord.

• In Japan: 125 V/15 A

• In other countries: Contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

If you use a cord with an unspecified current rating, the machine or plug may emit smoke or become hot to the touch externally.

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 your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

xvii

To prevent fire or electric shocks, follow the instruction below based on your machine configuration. If in doubt, contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

• If your machine is a 220–240 V model, there is no need to attach a separate earth

line since the earth connection is incorporated in the power line. Plug it into a properly rated outlet.

If the power cord is broken or insulated wires are exposed, ask your Fuji Xerox or dealers for a replacement. Using a damaged cord can cause fire or electric shocks.

Do not unplug or replug the machine while it is on. Unplugging a live connector can deform the plug and cause fire.

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.

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 your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

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.

Switch off the machine before connecting the interface cable or any optional product. Connecting the cable or optional product with a live machine can cause electric shocks.

xviii

● Reception interference

When installed at a certain location, the machine may cause interference with radio and television reception. If you notice flickering or distorted images or noises on your audio-visual units, your machine may be causing radio interference. Switch it off, and if the interference disappears, the machine is the cause of radio interference. Perform the following procedure until the interference is corrected.

• Move the machine and the TV and/or radio away from each other.

• Reposition or reorientate the machine and TV and/or radio.

• Unplug the machine, TV and/or radio, and replug them into outlets that operate

on different circuits.

• Reorientate the TV and/or radio antennas and cables until the interference stops.

For an outdoor antenna, ask your local electrician for support.

• Use coaxial cable antennas.

For Machine Operation

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 your Fuji Xerox or dealers. 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 the Use 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.

xix

Never touch a labelled area found on or near the heat roller. 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 your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

Do not place any heavy object on the machine. An off-balance machine can fall over or the heavy object can fall, causing injuries.

Do not use a highly flammable spray or solvent near the machine. It can cause fire.

When removing jammed paper, make sure that no pieces of torn paper are left in the machine. A piece of paper remaining in the machine can cause fire. If a sheet of paper is wrapped around the heat roller, or when clearing a jammed paper that is difficult or impossible to see, do not try to remove it by yourself. Doing so can cause injuries or burns. Switch off the machine immediately, and contact your Fuji Xerox or dealers.

Do not place a magnet near the safety switch of the machine. A magnet can activate the machine accidentally, resulting in injuries.

● When clearing a paper jam or other fault, follow instructions in the User Guide.

● Do not use the machine if it is tilted more than 5 degrees in either the front-to-back

or left-to-right directions. Doing so could result in damage.

For Consumables

Never throw a toner cartridge into an open flame. It can cause an explosion and you can get burnt.

Never throw a transfer roll cartridge into an open flame. It can cause an explosion and you can get burnt.

xxi

Never throw a drum cartridge into an open flame. It can cause an explosion and you can get burnt.

● Do not unpack consumables before use. Store consumables in a cool, dry, and

clean environment, away from an open flame, and out of direct exposure to sunlight.

● When using consumables, read and observe operating instructions and safeguards

given on the package and container.

● Administer emergency first aid as follows:

●

If you get toner in your eyes, rinse them abundantly in clean water and consult your physician, if necessary.

●

If you get toner on your skin, wash it with soap and water. Rinse well.

●

If you inhale toner, leave the contaminated area immediately and gargle with water.

●

If you swallow toner, induce vomiting and consult your physician immediately.

● When you remove the transfer roll cartridge from the printer because the transfer

roll collection box is full, do not attempt to empty the transfer roll box and reuse the cartridge, as toner may spill inside the printer and cause damage. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.

● Do not tilt or shake drum cartridges or transfer roll cartridges when removing them

temporarily. Loose toner can spill inside the printer and deteriorate print quality.

When "0" is the value nearest the straightest line, you do not need to adjust the color registration. When the value is not "0", follow the procedure outlined in "Entering Values".
