READ THIS FIRST Safety Notices Important Safety Notices Prevention of Physical Injury Before disassembling or assembling parts of the machine and peripherals, make sure that the machine power cord is unplugged. The wall outlet should be near the machine and easily accessible. 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.

Safety and Ecological Notes for Disposal Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of used toner, the maintenance unit which includes developer or the organic photoconductor in accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.) Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
Laser Safety The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer.
