Precautions for Use
■Cautions when Using the Printer
WARNING
•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 es- capes, 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 (O) immediately, remove the power plug from the outlet and contact your service representative.
•If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other flu- ids, etc.) falls into the printer, turn the power switch OFF (O) 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 main-
tenance or repair of internal parts. ...........................
CAUTION
•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
(O).
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. .................................................
•When lifting or moving the printer, pull up the 4 handles on both sides of the printer, then ALWAYS carry the printer by the designated 4 handles with at least 4 people, one person to a handle..................
•For safety purposes. Always remove the power plug from the outlet when performing cleaning operations. ............................................................
•If dust accumulates within the printer, there is a danger of fire or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult with your service representative in regard to the cleaning of internal parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to seasons of high humidity. Consult with your service representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the printer. .....................................
Other Precautions
•Do not place heavy objects on the printer or cause other damage to the printer.
•Do not open the front cover, turn off the main switch, or pull out the power plug during printing.
•During printing, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one’s health. If, however, the printer is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when printing an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain the appropriate environment for print work, it is suggested that the room be properly ventilated.
•Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit boards. They could be damaged by static electricity.
•Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this handbook.
•Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
•If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the paper from the cassette, return it to its original package and reseal it.
