1. Note for servicing
Pictogram
The label ( ) in the fusing area of the machine indicates the
following:
: Caution, risk of danger
: Caution, hot surface
A. Warning for servicing
•The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed
paper.
•Do not disassemble the laser unit. Do not insert a reflective material
such as a screwdriver in the laser beam path.
It may damage eyes by reflection of laser beams.
B. Cautions for servicing
•Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine
off, wait 10 to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
•Machine power must be turned off before installing any supplies.
•Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
•Do not install the machine in a humid or dusty location.
•When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during
prolonged holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power
cord from the outlet.
•When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and
remove the power cord from the outlet.
•Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while
the power is on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the
machine.
•Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous laser radiation
exposure.
•The socket-outlet shall be installed near the machine and shall be easily
accessible.
C. Note for installation place
Improper installation may damage the machine. Please note the
following during initial installation and whenever the machine is moved.
Caution : If the machine is moved from a cool place to a warm place,
condensation may form inside the machine. Operation in this
condition will cause poor copy quality and malfunctions. Leave
the machine at room temperature for at least 2 hours before
use.
Do not install your machine in areas that are:
•damp, humid, or very dusty
•poorly ventilated
•exposed to direct sunlight
•subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near an air
conditioner or heater.
The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for
easy connection and disconnection.
Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the
specified voltage and current requirements. Also make certain the outlet
is properly grounded.
Note : Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other
electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is connected to the same
outlet, the light may flicker.
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing
and proper ventilation.

Note : The temperature at the end portion of the heat roller may rise too
high, depending on the kind of paper to be used, when in
continuous printing of small-size paper.
To avoid this, when the thermistor at the end portion detects a
higher temperature than the specified level, output is stopped
temporarily.
During temporary stop, Power Save Indicator lamp flashes in the
