Safety Instructions

OTHER INFORMATION:

LKeep the unit away from electrical noise

generating devices, such as fluorescent

lamps and motors.

LThe unit should be kept free from dust, high

temperature and vibration.

LThe unit should not be exposed to direct

sunlight.

LDo not place heavy objects on top of this unit.

LDo not touch the plug with wet hands.

LWipe the outer surface of the unit with a soft

cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner, or any

CAUTION:

Laser radiation

LThe printer of this unit utilizes a laser. Use of

procedures other than those specified herein

may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Fuser unit

LThe fuser unit gets hot. Do not touch it.

LDuring or immediately after printing, the area

near the recording paper exit (1) also gets

warm. This is normal.

Toner cartridge

LBe careful of the following when you handle

the toner cartridge:

–Do not leave the toner cartridge out of the

protection bag for a long time. It will

decrease the toner life.

–If you ingest any toner, drink several

glasses of water to dilute your stomach

contents, and seek immediate medical

treatment.

–If any toner comes into contact with your

eyes, flush them thoroughly with water,

and seek medical treatment.

–If any toner comes into contact with your

skin, wash the area thoroughly with soap

and water.

–If you inhale any toner, move to an area

with fresh air and consult local medical

–Do not touch or scratch the green drum

surface.

–Do not place the drum unit near dust or

dirt, or in a high humidity area.

–Do not expose the drum unit to direct

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE:

LIn the printing process, heat is used to fuse

toner onto the page. As a result, it is normal

for the machine to produce an odor during

and shortly after printing. Be sure to use this

unit in an area with proper ventilation.

LTo extend the life of the drum unit, the unit

should never be turned OFF immediately

after printing. Leave the power turned ON for

a minimum of 30 minutes after printing.

LStore unused paper in the original packaging,

in a cool and dry place. Not doing so may

affect print quality.

LDo not cover slots or openings on the unit.

Inspect the air circulation vents regularly and

remove any dust build-up with a vacuum

cleaner.

LWhen replacing the toner cartridge or drum

unit, do not allow dust, water, or liquids to

come in contact with the drum. This may

affect print quality.
