Product Statements
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——PPOOTTEENNTTIIAALL IINNJJUURRYY:: To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shock connect the power cord
to an appropriately rated and properly grounded electrical outlet that is near the product and easily
accessible.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——PPOOTTEENNTTIIAALL IINNJJUURRYY:: To avoid the risk of fire or electrical shock use only the power cord
provided with this product or the manufacturer authorized replacement.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——PPOOTTEENNTTIIAALL IINNJJUURRYY:: Do not use this product with extension cords multi-outlet power
strips multi-outlet extenders or UPS devices. The power capacity of these types of accessories can be
easily overloaded by a laser printer and may result in a risk of fire property damage or poor printer
performance.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——PPOOTTEENNTTIIAALL IINNJJUURRYY:: Do not use this product with an inline surge protector. The use of a
surge protection device may result in a risk of fire property damage or poor printer performance.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——PPOOTTEENNTTIIAALL IINNJJUURRYY:: To reduce the risk of fire use only a 26 AWG or larger
telecommunications RJ-11 cord when connecting this product to the public switched telephone network.
For users in Australia the cord must be approved by the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——SSHHOOCCKK HHAAZZAARRDD:: To avoid the risk of electrical shock do not place or use this product

such as furniture and walls. If any of these things happen a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect
the power cord regularly for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet
before inspecting it.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN——SSHHOOCCKK HHAAZZAARRDD:: To avoid the risk of electrical shock make sure that all external
connections such as Ethernet and telephone system connections are properly installed in their marked
plug-in ports.
