1—Safety information
Connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet that is near the product and easily
accessible.
Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: This product uses a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or
performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
This product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and the heat may cause the media to
release emissions. You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the
guidelines for selecting print media to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions.
CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from
a hot component, allow the surface to cool before touching.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The lithium battery in this product is not intended to be
replaced. There is a danger of explosion if a lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not recharge,
disassemble, or incinerate a lithium battery. Discard used lithium batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Before moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid
personal injury or printer damage:
•Turn the printer off using the power switch, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
•Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer before moving it.
•If an optional tray is installed, then remove it from the printer. To remove the optional tray, slide the
latch on the right side of the tray toward the front of the tray until it clicks into place.
•Use the handholds located on both sides of the printer to lift it.
•Make sure your fingers are not under the printer when you set it down.
•Before setting up the printer, make sure there is adequate clearance around it.
Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacement.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the controller board or installing optional
hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug
the power cord from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the
printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure that all external connections (such as Ethernet and
telephone system connections) are properly installed in their marked plug-in ports.
This product is designed, tested, and approved to meet strict global safety standards with the use of
specific manufacturer's components. The safety features of some parts may not always be obvious. The
manufacturer is not responsible for the use of other replacement parts.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the
power cord. Do not subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between
objects such as furniture and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results.
Inspect the power cord regularly for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical
outlet before inspecting it.
Refer service or repairs, other than those described in the user documentation, to a service
representative.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock when cleaning the exterior of
the printer, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect all cables from the printer
before proceeding.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray
separately. Keep all other trays closed until needed.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not set up this product or make any electrical or cabling
connections, such as the fax feature, power cord, or telephone, during a lightning storm.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING
•Do not attempt to remove any of the covers and panels attached to the printer. Some printers
have a high-voltage part or a laser beam source inside that could cause an electrical shock or
blindness.
•Do not modify the printer, as a fire, electrical shock, or breakdown could result. If the printer
employs a laser, the laser beam source could cause blindness.
•Use only the power cord supplied in the package. If a power cord is not supplied, use only the
power cord and plug that are specified in the user documentation. Failure to use this cord could
result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Use the power cord supplied in the package only with this printer; NEVER use it for another
product. Failure to observe this precaution could result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Use only a power source of the specified voltage. Failure to do that could result in a fire or
electrical shock.
•Do not use a multiple outlet adapter to connect any other products. Exceeding the rating of a
power outlet could result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use an extension cord, as this could cause a fire or electrical shock. Contact your
authorized service provider if an extension cord is required.
•Do not scratch, rub, place a heavy object on, heat, twist, bend, pull on, or damage the power
cord. Use of a damaged power cord (exposed core wire, broken wire, etc.) could result in a fire
or breakdown. Should any of the described conditions have occurred, immediately turn off and
unplug the printer, and then call your authorized service provider.
Do not unplug and plug in the power cord with wet hands, as an electrical shock could result.
Plug the power cord all the way into the power outlet. Failure to do this could result in a fire or
electrical shock.
