Handling precautions
WARNING
Do not place a container of water or other liquid, or a metal object that might fall inside, on the machine.
If the liquid spills or the object falls into the machine, fire or electrical shock may result.
Do not remove the machine casing.
Do not make any modifications to this machine.
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
Do not use a flammable spray to clean the machine.
If gas from the spray comes in contact with hot electrical components or the fusing unit inside the machine, fire or electrical shock may result.
If you notice smoke, a strange odor, or other abnormality, do not use the machine.
If used in this condition, fire or electrical shock may result. Immediately switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the power outlet. Contact your dealer or nearest authorised service representative.
If a thunder storm begins, switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the outlet to prevent electrical shock and fire due to lightning.
If a piece of metal or water enters the machine, switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the power outlet.
Contact your dealer or nearest authorised service representative. Using the machine in this condition may result in electrical shock or fire.
CAUTION
Do not look directly at the light source.
Doing so may damage your eyes.
Do not block the ventilation ports on the machine. Do not install the machine in a location that will block the ventilation ports.
Blocking the ventilation ports will cause heat to build up in the machine, creating a risk of fire.
The fusing unit and paper exit area are hot. When removing a misfeed, do not touch the fusing unit and paper exit area. Take care not to burn yourself.
Fusing unit
When loading paper,
removing a misfeed, 
performing maintenance, 
closing the front and 
side covers, and
inserting and removing 
trays, take care that your 
fingers are not pinched.
The machine includes the document filing function, which stores document image data on the machine's hard drive. Stored documents can be called up and printed or transmitted as needed. If a hard drive failure occurs, it will no longer be possible to call up the stored document data. To prevent the loss of important documents in the unlikely event of a hard drive failure, keep the originals of important documents or store the original data elsewhere.
With the exception of instances provided for by law, Sharp Corporation bears no responsibility for any damages or loss due to the loss of stored document data.
