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.

  • 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 only to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual. Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and do not use an extension cord.

  • Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it. Do not pull it hard nor bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.

  • 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.

  • The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not use with other appliances. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or injury.

CAUTION

  • Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.

  • Before moving the machine, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Damaged power cords are a fire and electric shock hazard.

  • When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the cable).

  • Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the machine.

  • Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children. See a doctor immediately if you accidentally swallow toner.

  • 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 machine failure.

  • If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a continuous air turnover.

  • 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 immediately with large amounts of 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 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.

  • Open toner cartridges carefully. If you open them forcefully, toner can spill, dirtying your clothes or hands, and possibly resulting in accidental ingestion.

  • Do not look into the lamp. It can damage your eyes.

  • When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.

  • During operation, rollers for transporting the paper and originals revolve. A safety device is being installed so that the machine can be operated safely. But take care not to touch the machine during operation. An injury might occur.

  • Fire and breakdown can result from heavy accumulation of dust inside this machine. Consult your service representative for details about and charges for cleaning the machine's interior.

  • Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

  • Contact your service representative if you need to lift the machine (such as when relocating it to another floor). Do not attempt to lift the machine without the assistance of your service representative. The machine will be damaged if it topples or is dropped, resulting in malfunction and risk of injury to users. The machine's various handling areas are for service engineer use only. Do not touch these areas.

  • Keep your hands clear of the booklet finisher tray when pulling out or pushing in the finisher's staple unit. You can trap your fingers if you do not.
