Installation Precautions Environment CAUTION: Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine. Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• • • • Avoid locations with vibrations. Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations. Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air. Avoid poorly ventilated locations. During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the printer is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant.
Precautions for Use Cautions when Using the Machine WARNING: Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside. Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a danger of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the machine. Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord.
CAUTION Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug when removing the power cord from the outlet.) Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the machine. If the power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. If the machine will not be used for a short period of time (overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (O).
CAUTION Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. Cautions when Handling Consumables CAUTION Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner Container. Dangerous sparks may cause burns. Keep the Toner Container out of the reach of children. If toner happens to spill from the Toner Container, avoid inhalation and ingestion, as well as contact with your eyes and skin.
