Cautions
• To prevent the printer from tipping over, the optional CA-31B caster kit must be installed when the printer is installed
with more than one paper feeder or a duplex unit. For detailed information on the CA-31B caster kit, see page A-11.
• Do not block the cooling air in and out vents and the exhaust duct against walls or with other objects. If the flow of
cooling air is blocked, heat will be built up in the printer, and there will be a risk of fire.
Note
Moisture condensation inside the printer can cause blurred printing. When a heavily blured printing occurred, turn printer
power off while the power cable is plugged to power. Then, open the front cover, draw the paper transfer unit fully out, and
draw the primary transfer unit out. Allow approximately 2 hours before use.
