Safety Information
When using your printer, the following safety precautions should always be fol-
lowed.
In this manual, the following important symbols are used:
RWARNING:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, could result
in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, may result
in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.
•Confirm the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so
that in the event of emergency, it can be unplugged easily.
•Plug and unplug the power cable with dry hands, or an electric shock
could occur.
•Only connect the machine to the power source described in the manual.
•Avoid multi-wiring.
•Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord.
Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than nec-
essary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire.
•Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable
and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.
•Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There
is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the ma-
chine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.
•Do not handle the power cord or plug with wet hands. Doing so might
cause an electrical shock.
•Keep the machine away from flammable liquids, gases, and aerosols.
A fire or an electric shock might occur.
•To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this machine in a large well
ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m3/hr/person.
•Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an
open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire.
•Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this
manual. Some parts of the machine are at a high voltage and could
give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser systems, di-
rect (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause
serious eye damage. When the machine needs to be checked, adjust-
ed, or repaired, contact your service representative.

RWARNING:
RCAUTION:
•Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There
is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the ma-
chine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage.
•The supplied power cord is for use with this equipment only. Do not
use with other appliances. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock,
or injury.
•Do not pull out the paper tray forcefully. If you do, the tray might fall and
cause an injury.
•The inside of this printer becomes very hot. Do not touch parts labelled “v”
(indicating a hot surface). Touching these parts will result in burns.
•Keep the machine in an area that is within optimum environmental condi-
tions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recom-
mended ranges of humidity and temperature can cause an electrical fire
hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accumulated dust
can become an electrical fire hazard.
•Place the machine on a strong and level surface. Otherwise, it might fall and
injure someone.
•If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into
a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
•If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and water.
•If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large
amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
•If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of wa-
ter. Consult a doctor if necessary
•Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or
replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected
area thoroughly with soap and water.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the
toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
•Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner bottle out of reach of children.
•Grip the plug, not the cord, when pulling the plug from the socket. Pulling
the cord causes wear and tear that can result in fire or electric shock.
•Wait at least one hour after power off before replacing parts. Not allowing
the printer to cool may result in burns.
•When lifting the paper feed unit, hold the bottom of it, and then lift it slowly.
Lifting it carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.

RCAUTION:
•Dispose the used toner containers at an authorized dealer or approved col-
lection site. If you are going to dispose of the used toner containers your-
self, do so according to local regulations.
•If you use the machine in a confined space, ensure there is continuous air
circulation.
•When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing unit because it could
be very hot.
•The fusing unit becomes very hot. When installing a new fusing unit, turn off
the printer and wait at least an hour before replacing the old fusing unit. Not
allowing the unit to cool may result in burns.
•When pulling the paper tray out, be careful not to pull it strongly. If you do,
the tray might fall and cause an injury.
•When moving the machine, hold the inset grips at both sides, and then lift
the printer slowly. Lifting it carelessly or dropping it may cause an injury.
•Before installing options, the machine should be turned off and unplugged
for at least half an hour. Components inside the machine become very hot,
and can cause a burn if touched.
•Do not touch the inside of the controller board compartment. It may cause
a machine malfunction or a burn.
•Before moving the machine, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If
the cord is unplugged abruptly, it could become damaged. Damaged plugs
or cords can cause an electrical or fire hazard.
•When lifting the machine, use the grips on both sides. The machine could
break or cause on injury if dropped.
•The printer weighs about 17 kg (37.5 lb.). When lifting the machine, use the
inset grips on both sides. Otherwise the printer could break or cause injury
if dropped.
•When moving the printer after use, do not take out any of the Toners, Photo
Conductor Units, nor the Waste Toner Cartridge to prevent toner spill inside
the machine.
•Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collec-
tion site.
•Do not place the controller board near or into fire, as the litium battery in-
side this machine will explode and cause a burn.
•Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
