are not followed, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:RIndicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not
followed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property.
Safety Precautions to be Followed
This section explains safety precautions that should always be followed when
using this machine.
Environments where the machine can be used
This section explains safety precautions about environments where the ma-
chine can be used.
WARNING:R
Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this ma-• chine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal• objects, or containers holding water or any other liquids, on or close
to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result from spillage or if
such objects or substances fall inside this machine.
CAUTION:R
Keep the machine away from humidity and dust.Otherwise a fire or an• electric shock might occur.
Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over,• an injury might occur.

8
Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the ma-• chine to topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated• and spacious.Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is
used heavily.
Keep the machine away from salt-bearing air and corrosive gases. Also, do• not install the machine in places where chemical reactions are likely (labo-
ratories, etc.), as doing so will cause the machine to malfunction.
Do not obstruct the machine’s vents. Doing so risks fire caused by over-• heated internal components.
When new, electrical devices containing volatile materials will normally re-• lease emissions into the air of their vicinity. For this reason, for the first few
days after installation of a new device, strong ventilation inside the room
where it is placed is necessary.
Machine sound levels exceeding [Sound Power Level (Black and White)] >• 63 dB (A) are not suitable for desk work environment, so place the machine
in another place.
The printer might topple over and cause damage and injuries if four op-• tional paper feed units are stacked to a printer which is installed directly on
the floor. For details about preventing the machine toppling over, contact
your service representative.
Note
To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this machine in large well ventilated
room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m
3
/hr/person.
Handling power cords and power plugs
This section explains safety precautions about handling power cords and
power plugs.
WARNING:R
If the power cord is damaged and its inner wires are exposed or• broken, contact your service representative for a replacement. Use of
damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use any power sources other than those that match the speci-• fications shown in this manual. Doing so could result in fire or electric
shock.

9
Do not use any frequencies other than those that match the specifica-• tions shown. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use multi-socket adaptors. Doing so could result in fire or• electric shock.
Do not use extension cords. Doing so could result in fire or electric• shock.
Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also,• do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects,
pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric
shock.
Touching the prongs of the power cable’s plug with anything metallic• constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.
The supplied power cord is for use with this machine only. Do not use• it with other appliances. Doing so could result in fire, electric shock,
or injury.
It is dangerous to handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing• so could result in electric shock.
CAUTION:R
Be sure to push the plug of the power cord fully into the wall outlet. Par-• tially inserted plugs create an unstable connection that can result in unsafe
buildup of heat.
If this machine is not going to be used for several days or longer at a time,• disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet.
When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the• plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of
damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.
Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and clean the prongs• and the area around the prongs at least once a year. Allowing dust to build
up on the plug constitutes a fire hazard.
When performing maintenance on the machine, always disconnect the• power cord from the wall outlet.

Handling the main machine
This section explains safety precautions about handling the main machine.
WARNING:R
Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet.• This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of
an emergency.
If the machine emits smoke or odours, or if it behaves unusually, you• must turn off its power immediately. After turning off the power, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.Then con-
tact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use
the machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
If metal objects, or water or other fluids fall inside this machine, you• must turn off its power immediately. After turning off the power, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.Then con-
tact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use
the machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
If the machine topples, or if a cover or other part gets broken, you• must turn off its power immediately. After turning off the power, be
sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet.Then
contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not
use the machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.
Do not touch this machine if a lightning strike occurs in the immedi-• ate vicinity. Doing so could result in electric shock.
Keep the polythene materials (bags, etc.) supplied with this machine• away from babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can
result if polythene materials are brought into contact with the mouth
or nose.
CAUTION:R
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine.• While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged
under the machine.Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or
electric shock.

tion can result if polythene materials are brought into contact with the
mouth or nose.
CAUTION:R
Do not crush or squeeze toner containers.Doing so can cause toner spill-• age, possibly resulting in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental
ingestion.
Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have• been in contact with toner out of reach of children.
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 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• water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new• or used) on your clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing,
wash the stained area with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the
fabric and make removing the stain impossible.

13
When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new• or used) on your skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the
affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or• any kind of conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.
