contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your
printer.
Safety precautions
Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient
operation:

4Safety Instructions
❏Because the printer weighs approximately 37 kg (81.5 lb) with
consumable products installed, one person should not lift or
carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the
correct positions as shown below.
* Do not lift the printer by these areas.
*

Safety Instructions 5
❏Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION
HIGH TEMPERATURE, or the surrounding areas. If the printer
has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be
very hot. If you must touch one of these areas, wait 30 minutes
to allow the heat to subside before doing so.
1. Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit.
2. CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE
❏Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some
components are sharp and may cause injury.
❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless
instructed to do so in this guide.
❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the
printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage
it.
❏When handling a toner cartridge, always place it on a clean,
smooth surface.

6Safety Instructions
❏Do not attempt to modify a toner cartridge or take it apart.
They cannot be refilled.
❏Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes.
❏Do not dispose of used toner cartridge, photoconductor units,
fuser units, or waste toner collector in fire, as they can explode
and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local
regulations.
❏If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth
with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles
can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a
spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
❏Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge after
moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent
damage from condensation.
❏When removing the photoconductor unit, avoid exposing it
to room light for more than five minutes. The unit contains a
green-colored light-sensitive drum. Exposure to light can
damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on
the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If
you need to keep the unit out of the printer for long periods,
cover it with an opaque cloth.
❏Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you
remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always
place the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the
drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its
surface and affect print quality.
❏To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor
unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or
corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to
extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
