Do not install in the following locations that may result in damage

● A location subject to dramatic changes in temperature or

humidity

● A location near equipment that generates magnetic or

electromagnetic waves

● A laboratory or location where chemical reactions occur

● A location exposed to corrosive or toxic gases

● A location that may warp from the weight of the machine or

where the machine is liable to sink (a carpet, etc.)

Avoid poorly ventilated locations

● This machine generates a slight amount of ozone, etc. during normal use. Although sensitivity to ozone, etc.

may vary, this amount is not harmful. Ozone, etc. may be more noticeable during extended use or long

production runs, especially in poorly ventilated rooms. It is recommended that the room where the machine

operates be appropriately ventilated to maintain a comfortable working environment. Also avoid locations

where people would be exposed to emissions from the machine.

Do not install in a location where condensation occurs

Maintenance and Inspections

0Y9U-004

Clean this machine periodically. If dust accumulates, the machine may not operate properly. When cleaning, be sure to

observe the following. If a problem occurs during operation, see Troubleshooting(P. 720) . If the problem cannot be

resolved or you feel the machine requires an inspection, see When a Problem Cannot Be Solved(P. 778) .

● Before cleaning, turn OFF the power and unplug the power plug from the AC power outlet. Failure to do so

may result in a re or electrical shock.

● Unplug the power plug periodically and clean with a dry cloth to remove dust and grime. Accumulated dust

may absorb humidity in the air and may result in a re if it comes into contact with electricity.

● Use a damp, well wrung-out cloth to clean the machine. Dampen cleaning cloths with water only. Do not use

alcohol, benzenes, paint thinners, or other ammable substances. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels.

If these substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, they may generate static

electricity or result in a re or electrical shock.

● Check the power cord and plug periodically for damage. Check the machine for rust, dents, scratches,

cracks, or excessive heat generation. Use of poorly-maintained equipment may result in a re or electrical

shock.

● The inside of the machine has high-temperature and high-voltage components. Touching these components

may result in burns. Do not touch any part of the machine that is not indicated in the manual.

● When loading paper or removing jammed documents or paper, be careful not to cut your hands with the

edges of the paper.

● When removing jammed paper or replacing toner cartridges, be careful not to get any toner on your hands

or clothing. If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water.

Consumables

0Y9U-005

● Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open ames. Also, do not store toner cartridges or paper in a

location exposed to open ames. This may cause the toner to ignite, and result in burns or re.

● If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully wipe up the loose toner with a damp, soft cloth and avoid

inhaling any toner dust. Do not use a vacuum cleaner that is not equipped with safety measures to prevent

dust explosions to clean up loose toner. Doing so may cause damage to the vacuum cleaner or result in a

dust explosion due to static discharge.

If you are using a cardiac pacemaker

● The toner cartridge generates a low level magnetic ux. If you are using a cardiac pacemaker and feel

abnormalities, please move away from the toner cartridge and consult your physician immediately.

● Use caution not to inhale any toner. If you should inhale toner, consult a physician immediately.

● Use caution so that toner does not get into your eyes or mouth. If toner should get into your eyes or mouth,

immediately wash with cold water and consult a physician.

● Use caution so that toner does not come into contact with your skin. If it should, wash with soap and cold

water. If there is any irritation on your skin, consult a physician immediately.

● Keep the toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested,

consult a physician or poison control center immediately.

● Do not disassemble or modify the toner cartridge. Doing so may cause the toner to scatter.

● Remove the sealing tape of the toner cartridge completely without using excessive force. Doing otherwise

may cause the toner to scatter.

Handling the toner cartridge

● Do not touch the toner cartridge memory ( ) or the electrical contacts ( ). To avoid scratching the

surface of the drum inside the machine or exposing it to light, do not open the drum protective shutter ( ).

Important Safety Instructions

10

● Do not remove the toner cartridge from this machine or from the protective bag unnecessarily.

● The toner cartridge is a magnetic product. Do not move it close to products susceptible to magnetism

including oppy disks and disk drives. Doing so may result in data corruption.

Storing the toner cartridge

● Store in the following environment to ensure safe and satisfactory use.

Storage temperature range: 0 to 35°C
