❏ Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked ! (CAUTION), or the surrounding areas. If
the printer has been in use, the fuser and surrounding areas may be very hot.

and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

the printer cover) of the printer when you are replacing consumable products or maintenance
parts.
❏ Do not install the consumable products or maintenance parts that reach end of service life into the
printer.
