HOT! When you open the front or back covers of the printer, never touch the shaded

parts shown in the following illustrations.

• There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before cleaning the printer, make

sure you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the power cord from the

thinner or benzene will damage the surface of the printer.

y Do not use cleaning materials that contain ammonia. They will damage the printer and

the toner cartridge.



Interface cable

• An interface cable is not a standard accessory.

• Some computers have both a USB and a parallel port. Please purchase the

appropriate cable for the interface you intend to use.

• Today most parallel cables support bi-directional communication, but some might

have an incompatible pin assignment or may not be IEEE 1284-compliant.

• Do not use a parallel cable that is longer than 3 metres (10 feet).

(For HL-1440, HL-1450 and HL-1470N Users)

• When you use a USB cable, be sure to use a high-speed twisted cable (12 Mbps)

and connect it to the USB connector of your PC.

• Do not use the USB connector on the front of your PC or on the iMac keyboard.
