Using the Machine Properly
To ensure the optimum performance of the machine, follow the precautions listed below.
• Never place a heavy object on the machine.
• Never subject the machine to shocks.
• Never open any doors or turn the machine off while the machine is making prints.
• Never bring any magnetized object near the machine.
• Never use flammable sprays, liquids or gases near the machine.
• Never modify the machine, as a fire or electrical shock could result.
• Never remove any panel or cover which is secured. The machine contains high voltage components
which can cause electrical shock.
• Never tamper with the laser mechanism on laser-equipped models, as blindness or other injury may
result.
• Never drop paper clips, staples or other small pieces of metal through the vents or other openings in
the machine, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
• Never place containers of liquid on the machine. If liquids get inside the machine, they can cause fire
or electrical shock. If a piece of metal or any liquid gets inside the machine, immediately turn the
machine off, unplug the power cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock
can result if the machine remains plugged in or is operated after metal or liquid gets inside.
• Never leave the machine running if it becomes unusually hot, or if smoke or an unusual odor or noise
is detected. Should any of these conditions occur, immediately turn the machine off, unplug the power
cord and call your technical representative. A fire or electrical shock can result if the machine remains
plugged in under any of these conditions.
• Always insert the power plug all the way into the outlet.
• Always make sure that the outlet is visible, clear of the machine or machine cabinet.
• Always provide good ventilation when making a large number of continuous prints.
• Never pull on the power cord, and always hold the plug when unplugging the power cord. A damaged
cord could result in a fire or cause an electrical shock.
• Never unplug the power cord with a wet hand, as it could cause an electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord before moving the machine. Moving the machine with the power cord
plugged in can damage the cord resulting in a fire or causing an electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord when the machine is not going to be used for a long time.
• Never place a heavy object on the power cord, or pull or bend it, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
• Always ensure that the machine does not sit on or move onto the power cord or communications cable
of other electrical equipment, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.
• Always ensure that the power cord or communications cable of other electrical equipment does not
become wedged into the machine mechanism, as malfunctioning equipment or a fire could result.
• Always use the correct power voltage, as improper voltage can cause a fire or electrical shock.
• Never use a multiple outlet adapter, as a fire or electrical shock can result.
• Should the power cord become damaged, immediately turn the machine off, unplug the power cord
and call your technical representative. A damaged cord can result in a fire or cause an electric shock.
• If an extension cord is needed, use one with a greater rated capacity than the maximum power require-
ments of the machine. The use of an extension cord that falls short of supporting the maximum power
requirements can result in overheating or a fire.
• Always unplug the machine whenever anything unusual is observed during operation. Make sure that
the outlet is nearby and clear of the machine and furniture.
