WARNING:
• Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power
cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
• To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not
remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual.
• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not
the cable) if any of the following occurs:
• You spill something into the machine.
• You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.
• The external housing of your machine has been damaged.
• Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite
when exposed to an open flame.
• Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an open
flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns of a fire.
• Disposal can take place at our authorized dealer.
• Dispose of used toner containers in accordance with local regulations.
• Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols.
A fire or an electric shock might occur.
• Connect the machine to the power source specified on the inside front
cover of this manual and do not use any other power sources. Connect the
power cord directly to a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord. Power
sources not specified on the inside front cover of this manual and
extension cords are electric shock or fire hazards.
• Do not make modifications or replacements other than those mentioned in
this manual.
• Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy
objects, pulled hard, or bent severely are electric shock and fire hazards.
• If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection, etc.),
contact your service representative to change a new one. Operating the
machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric shock or fire.
CAUTION:
• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While
moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not be
damaged under the machine.
• When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug
(not the cable).
• To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself. Doing
so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will
not be used for an extended period of time such as holidays.
• Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the
machine.
• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner cartridge out of reach of children.
• Be careful not to cut yourself on any sharp edges when you reach inside the
machine to remove misfed sheets of paper or masters.
• For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended supply
waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an
authorized dealer.
• The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label
indicating the "hot surface". Otherwise, an injury might occur.
• The fusing section of this machine might be very hot. Caution should be taken
when removing misfed paper.
• Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric
shock might occur.
• Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an
injury might occur.
• Do not use aluminum foil, carbon paper, or similar conductive paper to avoid a fire
or a machine failure.
• Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and
spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used
heavily.
• Do not open toner containers forcefully. Toner can spill, dirtying your clothes or
hands, and possibly resulting in accidental ingestion.
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh
air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush thoroughly with eyewash or water.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or
replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area
thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner
into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
• Do not look into the lamp - it can damage your eyes.
• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
