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.

 WARNING

Indicates a risk of death or serious injury.

 CAUTION

Indicates a risk of human injury or property 

damage.

 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.

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 in the lower left corner of 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.

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.

EN2

When the machine is installed, the adjusters (5) must be 

lowered to the floor to secure the machine (prevent it from 

moving).

Rotate the adjusters in the locking direction until they are in 

firm contact with the floor.

If you find it necessary to reposition the machine due 

to rearrangement of your office layout or other reason, 

retract the adjusters from the floor, turn off the power, and 

then move the machine.

(After moving the machine, lower the adjusters again to 

secure the machine.)

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.

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. The indicated distances are for the case 

when a saddle finisher and large capacity paper tray 

are not installed.)

30 cm

30 cm

 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.

Release

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.

About consumables

 CAUTION

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.

Handling precautions

 WARNING
