Safety Instructions for this Machine

Prevention of Physical Injury

1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the machine and peripherals, make sure that the
machine and peripheral power cords are unplugged.
2. The plug should be near the machine and easily accessible.
3. Note that some components of the machine and the paper tray unit are supplied with electrical
voltage even if the main power switch is turned off.
4. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open while the
main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically driven components.
5. If the [Start] key is pressed before the machine completes the warm-up period (the [Start] key starts
blinking red and green), keep hands away from the mechanical and the electrical components as
the machine starts making copies as soon as the warm-up period is completed.
6. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while the machine is
operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with your bare hands.
7. To prevent a fire or explosion, keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and
aerosols.
8. When a thick book or three-dimensional original is placed on the exposure glass and the ARDF
cover is lowered, the back side of the ARDF rises up to accommodate the original. Therefore, when
closing the ARDF, please be sure to keep your hands away from the hinges at the back of the
ARDF.
9. When using a vacuum cleaner around the machine, keep others away from the cleaner, especially
small children.
