IMPORTANT

•When a paper jam occurs in the feeder, you cannot continue operating the machine. Follow the directions to remove the jammed paper. (See “Clearing Paper Jams in the Feeder,” on p. 7-4.)

CAUTION

•When removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the original or paper.

•When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.

•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care not to allow the toner on the jammed paper to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.

•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and entering your eyes or mouth. If toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and consult a physician.
