CAUTIONS
Symbols in this manual
To ensure safe use of the machine, this manual uses various safety symbols.
The safety symbols are classified as explained below. Be sure you understand
the meaning of the symbols when reading the manual.
Meaning of the symbols
WARNING
Indicates a risk of death or serious
injury.
CAUTION! HOT
PINCH POINT KEEP
CLEAR
PROHIBITED ACTIONS
Power notes
WARNING
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets
the specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not use an extension cord or adapter
to connect other devices to the power outlet used by the machine.
Using an improper power supply may cause fire or electrical shock.
* For the power supply requirements, see the name plate on the left
side of the machine.
Do not damage or modify the power cord.
Placing heavy objects on the power cord, pulling it, or forcibly
bending it will damage the cord, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
This may cause electrical shock.
CAUTION
When removing the power plug from the outlet, do not pull on
the cord.
Pulling on the cord may cause damage such as wire exposure and
breakage, and may result in fire or electrical shock.
If you will not use the machine for a long time, be sure to remove
the power plug from the outlet for safety.
When moving the machine, switch off the main power and
remove the power plug from the outlet before moving.
The cord may be damaged, creating a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Installation notes
CAUTION
Do not install the machine on an unstable or slanted surface.
Install the machine on a surface that can withstand the weight of
the machine.
Risk of injury due to the machine falling or toppling.
If peripheral devices are to be installed, do not install on an uneven
floor, slanted surface, or otherwise unstable surface. Danger of
slippage, falling, and toppling. Install the product on a flat, stable
surface that can withstand the weight of the product.
Do not install in a location with moisture or dust.
Risk of fire and electrical shock.
If dust enters the machine, dirty output and machine failure may result.
Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid, or dry (near
heaters, humidifiers, air conditioners, etc.)
The paper will become damp and condensation may form inside the
machine, causing misfeeds and dirty output.
If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure water for
humidifiers in the humidifier. If tap water is used, minerals and other
impurities will be emitted, causing impurities to collect on the inside
of the machine and create dirty output.
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may result.
Locations with ammonia gas
Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may cause dirty
output.
CAUTION
Indicates a risk of human injury or
property damage.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE
MANDATORY ACTIONS
Do not install the machine in a location with poor air circulation.
A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during
printing. The amount of ozone created is not sufficient to be harmful;
however, an unpleasant odor may be noticed during large copy runs,
and thus the machine should be installed in a room with a ventilation
fan or windows that provide sufficient air circulation. (The odor may
occasionally cause headaches.)
* Install the machine so that people are not directly exposed to
exhaust from the machine. If installed near a window, ensure that
the machine is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Near a wall
Be sure to allow the required
space around the machine for
servicing and proper ventilation.
(The machine should be no closer
than the distances indicated below
from walls.)
Locations subject to vibration.
Vibration may cause failure.
CAUTION
The machine includes a built-in hard drive. Do not subject the machine to shock
or vibration. In particular, never move the machine while the power is on.
• The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection.
• Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same outlet,
the light may flicker.
About consumables
CAUTION
Do not throw a toner cartridge into a fire.
Toner may fly and cause burns.
Store a toner cartridge out of the reach of children.
Handling precautions
WARNING
Do not place a container of water or other liquid, or a metal
object that might fall inside, on the machine.
If the liquid spills or the object falls into the machine, fire or electrical
shock may result.
Do not remove the machine casing.
High-voltage parts inside the machine may cause electrical shock.
Do not make any modifications to this machine.
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine.
If gas from the spray comes in contact with hot electrical
components or the fusing unit inside the machine, fire or electrical
shock may result.
If you notice smoke, a strange odor, or other abnormality, do not
use the machine.
If used in this condition, fire or electrical shock may result.
Immediately switch off the main power and remove the power plug
from the power outlet.
Contact your dealer or nearest authorised service representative.
If a thunder storm begins, switch off the main power and remove
the power plug from the outlet to prevent electrical shock and
fire due to lightning.
If a piece of metal or water enters the machine, switch off the
main power and remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Contact your dealer or nearest authorised service representative.
Using the machine in this condition may result in electrical shock or
fire.
CAUTION
Do not look directly at the light source.
Doing so may damage your eyes.
Do not block the ventilation ports on the machine. Do not install
the machine in a location that will block the ventilation ports.
Blocking the ventilation ports will cause heat to build up in the
machine, creating a risk of fire.
The fusing unit and paper exit area are hot. When removing a
misfeed, do not touch the fusing unit and paper exit area. Take
care not to burn yourself.
When loading paper, removing a misfeed, performing
maintenance, closing the front and side covers, and inserting
and removing trays, take care that your fingers are not pinched.
