CAUTIONS

Follow the cautions below when using and handling this machine.

CAUTIONS ON USING AND HANDLING

Warning:

• The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.

• Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.

Caution:

• Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 

10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.

• Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.

• Place the machine on a firm, level surface.

• Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.

• When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged 

holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.

• When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the 

power cord from the outlet.

• Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is 

on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the machine.

• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those 

specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation exposure.

• The socket-outlet should be installed near the machine and should be easily 

accessible.

• Do not drop the machine, subject it to shock or strike it against any object.

• Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the 

package before use.

If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.

• Do not touch the photoconductive drum (green portion).

Scratches or smudges on the drum will cause dirty copies.

IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN SELECTING AN 

INSTALLATION SITE

Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the following during 

initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.

Do not install your machine in areas that are:

•

damp, humid, or very dusty

•

exposed to direct sunlight

•

poorly ventilated

•

subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air 

conditioner or heater

Caution:

• The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy 

connection and disconnection.

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.

• 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.

• If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place, condensation may 

form inside the machine. Operation in this condition will cause poor copy quality 

and malfunctions. Leave the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours 

before use.

Be sure to allow the required space 

around the machine for servicing 

and proper ventilation.

CAUTIONS ON LASER

Caution:

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those 

specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

A small amount of ozone is produced within the copier during operation. The 

emission level is insufficient to cause any health hazard.

CAUTION:

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.
