Cautions
To avoid machine malfunction, do not use the equipment under the following conditions:
• Direct exposure to sunlight
• Extremely high or low temperature [temperature range: 10˚C to 32.5˚C
(50˚F to 90.5˚F)]
• Extremely high or low humidity (humidity range: 20% to 80% RH)
• Condensation due to rapid change of temperature
• Areas of poor ventilation
• Areas of high dust or chemical
fume concentration (solvent etc.)
• Unstable or unlevel surfaces • Directly in front of air
conditioning vents • Liquids near the equipment
• Too much media which exceeds
the limit mark on the guide of
the tray.
• Front/right/left covers opened
while the printer is operating. It
may cause a media jam.
• We strongly recommend to use
only the original Kyocera toner
developer. Use of Kyocera toner
developer assures the intended
long term reliability of the printer.
