• Before installing options, the machine should be turned off and unplugged
for at least an hour. Components inside the machine become very hot, and
can cause a burn if touched.
• Before moving the machine, unplug the power cable from the outlet. If the
cable is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs or
cables can cause an electrical or fire hazard.
• The printer weighs about 185 kg (407.9 lb.). When lifting the machine, use
the inset grips on both sides. Otherwise the printer could break or cause in-

representive.
• Do not touch the inside of the controller board compartment. Doing so may
cause a malfunction or a burn.

result in damage or malfunction of the call-light or the printer.

avoid a fire or machine failure.
• If the machine is going to be unused for a long time, such as during holi-
days, unplug the power cable from the outlet.
❒ When moving from a cold to warm location, or if the local temperature rises
suddenly, condensation may occur inside. If this occurs, leave the machine
unused for at least one hour to let it acclimatize.
❒ Extreme temperature rise inside the machine may cause malfunctions. Do not
place anything in the immediate area of the exhaust and intake vents.
❒ Always keep all covers closed.
