Important Safety Instructions
Installation
WARNING
•Do not install the machine near alcohol, paint thinner or other flammable substances. If
flammable substances come into contact with electrical parts inside the machine, it may
result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not place the following items on the machine. If these items come into contact with a
high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
If these items are dropped or spilled inside the machine, immediately turn OFF the power
switch, and unplug the power plug from the outlet. Then, contact your service
representative.
- Necklaces and other metal objects
- Cups, vases, flowerpots and other containers filled with water or liquids
CAUTION
•Do not install the machine in unstable locations such as on unsteady platforms or on
inclined floors, or in locations subject to excessive vibrations, as this may cause the
machine to fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury.
•Never block the ventilation slots and louvers on the machine. These openings are
provided for proper ventilation of working parts inside the machine. Blocking these
openings can cause the machine to overheat. Also never place the machine on a soft
surface such as a sofa or rug.
•Do not install the machine in the following locations;
- A damp or dusty location.
- A location near water faucets and water.
- A location exposed to direct sunlight.
- A location subject to high temperatures.
- A location near open flames.

xv
•Do not remove the machine’s fixing stoppers after the machine has been installed, as
this may cause the machine to fall or tip over, resulting in personal injury.
Power Supply
WARNING
•Do not damage or modify the power cord. Also, do not place heavy objects on the power
cord, or pull on or excessively bend it, as this could cause electrical damage and result
in a fire or electrical shock.
•Keep the power cord away from a heat source; failure to do this may cause the cord
coating to melt, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not insert or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this may result in electrical
shock.
•Do not plug the machine into a multi-plug power strip, as this may cause a fire or
electrical shock.
•Do not bundle up or tie the power cord in a knot, as this may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
•Insert the power cord completely into the outlet, as failure to do so may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
•As a general rule, do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord may result in a
fire or electrical shock. If an extension cord must be used, however, use one rated for
voltages of AC 230 V and over, untie the cord binding and insert the power plug
completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the power
and extension cords.
CAUTION
•Do not use power supplies with voltages other than those specified, as this may result in
a fire or electrical shock.
•Always grasp the plug when unplugging the power plug. Pulling on the power cord may
expose or snap the core wire, or otherwise damage the power cord. If the cord is
damaged, this could cause current to leak, resulting in a fire or electrical shock.
•Leave sufficient space around the power plug so that it can be unplugged easily. If
objects are placed around the power plug, you will be unable to unplug it in an
emergency.

xvi
Handling
WARNING
•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the machine. There are high-temperature and
high-voltage components inside the machine which may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
•If the machine makes strange noises, or gives off smoke, heat or strange smells,
immediately turn OFF the power switch, and unplug the power plug from the outlet.
Then, contact your service representative. Continued use of the machine in this
condition may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use highly flammable sprays near the machine. If gas from these sprays comes
into contact with the electrical components inside the machine, it may result in a fire or
electrical shock.
•To avoid damage to the power cord and creating a fire hazard, always turn the power
switch to OFF, and unplug the interface cable when moving the machine. Otherwise,
power cord or interface cable may be damaged, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
•Do not drop paper clips, staples or other metal objects inside the machine. Also, do not
spill water, liquids or flammable substances (alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, etc.) inside
the machine. If these items come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the
machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock. If these items are dropped or spilled
inside the machine, immediately turn OFF the power switch and unplug the power plug
from the outlet. Then, contact your service representative.
CAUTION
•Do not place heavy objects on the machine, as they may tip over or fall resulting in
personal injury.
•Close the feeder, platen glass cover and editor gently to avoid catching your hand, as
this may result in personal injury.
•Do not press down hard on the feeder when using the platen glass to make copies of
thick books, etc. Failure to do so may damage the platen glass and result in personal
injury.

xvii
•Do not touch the moving sort bins while the machine is copying, as this may result in
personal injury.
•Turn OFF the power switch for safety when the machine will not be used for a long time
such as overnight. Also, turn OFF the power switch and unplug the power plug for safety
when the machine will not be used for an extended period, such as during consecutive
holidays.
•Do not place your hand in the part of the bins where stapling is performed when a stapler
sorter is attached, as this may result in personal injury.
•Laser beam can be harmful to human bodies. Since radiation emitted inside the product
is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam
cannot escape from the machine during any phase of user operation. Read the following
remarks and following instructions for safety.
•Never open covers other than those instructed in this manual.

Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•When cleaning the machine, first turn OFF the power switch, then unplug the power
plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Unplug the power plug from the outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of
the plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure all dust and grime is
removed.
If the machine is plugged in for a long time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can
build up around the plug and become damp.
This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
•Clean the machine using a firmly wrung cloth dampened with a mild detergent mixed
with water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner or other flammable substances. If
flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it
may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high voltages. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this
may result in burns or electrical shock.
•Do not burn used toner bottles or fixing oil bottles. The toner or oil will ignite and may
cause burns or fire.

xx
CAUTION
•The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine may become hot during use.
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not
touch the fixing unit and its surroundings, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
•When removing jammed paper or supplying the toner, take care not to allow the toner to
come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If
they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing them with warm
water will fix the toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
