Precautions for Use

Cautions when Using the Printer

•Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the printer. This type of situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside.

•Do not remove any of the covers from the printer as there is a danger of electrical shock from high voltage parts inside the printer.

•Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any other type of damage.These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock.

•Never attempt to repair or disassemble the printer or its parts as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the laser. If the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing blindness.

•If the printer becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the printer, there is an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. Turn the power switch OFF ({) immediately, remove the power plug from the outlet and contact your service representative.

•If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the printer, turn the power switch OFF ({) immediately. Next, remove the power plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your service representative.

•Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock.

•Always contact your service representative for maintenance or repair of internal parts.

•Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the power plug when removing the power cord from the outlet.)

•Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the printer. If the power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock.

•If the printer will not be used for a short period of time (overnight, etc.), turn the power switch OFF ({). If it will not be used for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the power plug from the outlet for safety purposes during the time the printer is not in use.
