Safety instructions  
This printer has been carefully designed to give years of  
safe, reliable performance. As with all electrical equip-  
ment, however, there are a few basic precautions that  
should be taken to avoid personal injury or damaging  
the printer:  
•
•
Do not use the printer near water, or spill liquid  
of any kind into it.  
Make sure that the power source matches the rat-  
ing listed on the back of the printer. If you are not  
sure, check with your dealer or with your local  
power company.  
•
•
•
Read this setup guide carefully and save it for  
future reference.  
•
This printer has an earthed plug as a safety fea-  
ture and will only connect to an earthed outlet. If  
this plug cannot be connected to a power outlet,  
then it is possible that the power outlet is of the  
older, non-earthed type. Contact an electrician to  
have the power outlet replaced. Do not use an  
adapter to defeat the earthing.  
Read and follow all warning and instruction  
labels on the printer itself.  
Disconnect the printer before cleaning. Use only  
a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol clean-  
ers to clean the printer.  
•
Place the printer on a firm, solid surface. If the  
printer is placed on something unsteady, it may  
fall and become damaged or injure someone. If  
the printer is placed on a soft surface, such as a  
rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may become blocked  
causing the printer to overheat.  
•
•
To avoid damaging the power cable, do not put  
anything on it or place it where it will be walked  
on. If the cable becomes damaged or frayed,  
replace it immediately.  
If an extension cable or power strip is being used  
with the printer, make sure that the total of the  
amperage rating required by all the equipment is  
less than the rating of the extension cable or  
power strip. The total ratings of all equipment  
•
Do not put the printer on or near a heat source,  
such as a radiator or heat register. Keep it out of  
direct sunlight. Allow enough room around the  
printer for adequate ventilation and easy access.

plugged into the outlet should not exceed 13  
amperes.  
•
•
The printer has been dropped, or the cabinet is  
damaged.  
•
•
•
The power outlet into which the printer is con-  
nected must remain accessible at all times.  
The printer does not function normally when fol-  
lowing the operating instructions.  
Opening any cover may expose hot surfaces.  
These are clearly labelled. Do NOT touch them.  
Toner cartridge and image drum  
handling  
Do not insert anything into the ventilation slots  
on the printer; you could get a shock or cause a  
fire.  
•
Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum  
units in their packages until needed. When  
replacing a toner cartridge or image unit, reuse  
the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge  
or image drum unit.  
•
•
Aside from the routine maintenance described in  
the user’s guide, do not try to service the printer  
yourself. Opening a cover may expose you to  
shocks or other hazards.  
•
•
Do not expose the toner cartridges and image  
drum units to light for more than five minutes.  
Never expose the green drum (inside the image  
drum unit) to direct sunlight.  
Do not make any adjustments other than those  
outlined in the user’s guide as damage may be  
caused to the printer.  
Always hold the image drum unit by the ends —  
never by the middle. Never touch the green drum  
inside the image drum unit.  
If anything happens that indicates that the printer is not  
working properly or has been damaged, disconnect the  
printer from the power source and contact your dealer.  
These are some of the things to look for:  
•
•
To avoid damage to the image drum unit, always  
use original toner cartridges.  
•
•
The power cable or plug is frayed or damaged.  
Exercise care when removing the toner cartridge.  
Do not let it touch your clothing or porous mate-  
rials. The toner powder causes permanent stains.  
Liquid has been spilled into the printer, or it has  
been exposed to water.

English  
•
Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or cloth-  
ing can be readily removed with soap and cold  
water. Using heated water will make removing  
the stain much more difficult.  
Emergency first aid  
•
IF TONER IS SWALLOWED: Induce vomit-  
ing and seek medical attention. Never attempt to  
induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to a  
person who is unconscious.  
•
•
IF TONER IS INHALED: Take the person to an  
open area for fresh air. Seek medical attention.  
IF TONER GETS IN THE EYES: Flush eyes  
with large quantities of cool, NOT cold, water for  
a minimum of 15 minutes keeping eyelids open  
with fingers. Seek medical attention.
