RWARNING:
RCAUTION:
•Connect this machine only to a power source that matches the speci-
fications shown in “Information” in the HTML manual or “Safety Infor-
mation” in the printed manual and do not use an extension cord.
•Use of this machine with extension cords and power sources other
than those that match the specifications shown constitutes an electric
shock and fire hazard.
•Power cords that are damaged, broken, modified, trapped under heavy
objects, pulled hard, or bent severely are electric shock and fire haz-
ards.
•Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the
power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged.
•If the power cord is damaged (exposure of the core, disconnection,
etc.), contact your service representative to change a new one. Oper-
ating the machine with a damaged power cord may cause an electric
shock or fire.
•It is dangerous to handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this may re-
sult in receiving an electric shock.
•Touching the prongs of the power cable's plug with anything metallic
constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.
•When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the
plug (not the cable).
•To disconnect the power cord, pull it out by plug. Do not drag the cord itself.
Doing so may result in damage to the cord, leading to fire or electric shock.
•For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine
will not be used for an extended period of time such as holidays.
•Before moving the machine, be sure to disconnect all external connections,
especially the power cord from the wall outlet. Damaged power cords are a
fire and electric shock hazard.
•Make sure the plug is inserted firmly in the wall outlet.
•Voltage must not fluctuate by more than 10%.
•The wall outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily ac-
cessible.

RWARNING:
RCAUTION:
Handling the machine's supplies
This section explains safety precautions about handling the machine's supplies.
RWARNING:
•To avoid hazardous electric shock or laser radiation exposure, do not
remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manu-
al.
•The fusing section of this machine might be very hot. Caution should be tak-
en when removing misfed paper.
•The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a
label indicating the “hot surface”. Otherwise, an injury might occur.
•During operation, rollers for transporting the paper and originals revolve. A
safety device is being installed so that the machine can be operated safely.
But take care not to touch the machine during operation. An injury might oc-
cur.
•Fire and breakdown can result from heavy accumulation of dust inside this
machine. Consult your service representative for details about and charges
for cleaning the machine's interior.
•Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ig-
nite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of used toner containers
in accordance with local regulations.
•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.
•Keep the waste oil bottle away from flames. There is a risk of fire or
burns.
•Take care not to spill the fuser oil.
•Keep the polythene materials (bags, gloves, 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.

RCAUTION:
•To avoid fire or machine failure, do not use aluminum foil, carbon paper, or
similar conductive paper.
•Do not open toner containers forcefully. Toner can spill, dirtying your clothes
or hands, and possibly resulting in accidental ingestion.
•Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers 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 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.
•When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
•Keep your hands clear of the booklet finisher tray when pulling out or push-
ing in the finisher's staple unit. You can trap your fingers if you do not.
•The inside of this machine gets very hot. To avoid burns, do not touch parts
labelled “hot surface”.
•The fusing unit also gets very hot. When installing a new fuser oil unit, turn
off the machine and wait until the fusing unit cools before replacing the fuser
oil unit.
•To avoid fire and burns, keep the fuser oil unit away from naked flames and
other heat sources.
