To use the printer safely
If you DO NOT follow these safety instructions, there is a possibility of a fire, electrical shock, burn or

maintenance.
WARNING
There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer, make
sure that you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.
DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.
Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep these bags away from

DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or any organic solvent/liquids containing
alcohol or ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the printer. Doing this may cause a fire or
electrical shock. Refer to Chapter 6 of the User's Guide for how to clean the printer.
DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner dust to
ignite inside the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Carefully clean the toner dust with a dry,
lint-free cloth and dispose of it according to local regulations.
Cleaning the outside of the printer:
•Make sure that you have unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.
•Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the
