with the proper voltage.
When you operate this equipment, the outlet should be near the equipment and accessible.
To ensure safe operation the AC cord supplied must be inserted into standard three-prong AC
outlet which is effectively grounded (earthed) through the normal wiring.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily does not imply that the power point is
grounded (earthed) and that the installation is completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt
about the effective grounding (earthing) of the power point, consult a qualified electrician.
If the plug cannot be inserted into the AC outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet
with a properly grounded (earthed) one. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding (earthing)
plug (ex. do not use a conversion plug).
Caution
This printer utilizes a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Warning
Make sure that the printer is installed in a well ventilated room so as not to increase density of
ozone in the air. Since ozone is heavier than air, it is recommended that air at floor level be
ventilated.
