Working Safely with Your Laser Printer
WARNING!
Working improperly with the printer can result in health hazards,
electric shocks, and even fires. Before you unpack the laser printer, you
should make yourself familiar with this information on your safety and
operating safety.
Power Supply/Cord/Plug
Do This...
Make sure that the power supply to the unit has the correct voltage.
Otherwise the result could be a fire or an electric shock.
Make sure that the power cord is:
!Switched off immediately and unpluged if the power supply cord is
damaged. Failure to do so could result in a fire or an electric shock.
!Correctly plugged into the socket and that the socket is visible at all times
and is readily accessible.
!Not underneath the printer or another machine as this can result in dam-
age to that cord. The result could be a fire or improper functioning of the
unit in question.
!Removed from the socket if the machine will not be in use for an
extended period of time.
Use only extension cords that are designed for at least the maximum power
rating of the machine. Extension cords with lower ratings can result in the
unit overheating and can even lead to a fire.
DO NOT...
Pull on the cord to pull the power plug out of the socket as this may damage
the cord. The result could be an electric shock or a fire.
!Remove from the power cord from the socket with wet hands as this may
result in an electric shock.
!Place any heavy objects on the power cord.
!Do not pull or kink the cord as this can result in damage to the cord. The
result could be an electric shock or a fire.
!Leave the power cord plugged into the socket when you move the printer.
Otherwise you may damage the cord. The result could be a short-circuit
or a fire.
Do not switch off the unit while printing is in progress.
