water. If coughing develops, contact a physician. · If you do happen to ingest toner, rinse your mouth with water and drink 1 or 2 cups of water to dilute the
contents of your stomach. If necessary, contact a physician. · If you do happen to get toner in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. If there is any remaining
tenderness, contact a physician. · If toner does happen to get on your skin, wash with soap and water. Do not attempt to force open or destroy parts which contain toner.
Other precautions
Return the exhausted toner container and waste toner box to your dealer or service representative. The collected toner container and waste toner box will be recycled or disposed in accordance with the relevant regulations. Store the machine while avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.

Security Precautions when Using Wireless LAN (If equipped)
Wireless LAN allows information to be exchanged between wireless access points instead of using a network cable, which offers the advantage that a WLAN connection can be established freely within an area in which radio waves can be transmitted. On the other hand, the following problems may occur if security settings are not configured, because radio waves can pass through obstacles (including walls) and reach everywhere within a certain area.
Secretly Viewing Communication Contents
A third person with malicious objectives may intentionally monitor radio waves and gain unauthorized access to the following communication contents. · Personal information including ID, passwords, and credit card numbers · Contents of email messages
Illegal Intrusion
A third party with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to personal or company networks and conduct the following illegal actions. · Extracting personal and confidential information (information leak) · Entering into communication while impersonating a specific person and distributing unauthorized information
(spoofing) · Modifying and retransmitting intercepted communications (falsification) · Transmitting computer viruses and destroying data and systems (destruction) Wireless LAN cards and wireless access points contain built-in security mechanisms to address these problems and to reduce the possibility of these problems occurring by configuring the security settings of wireless LAN products when the product is used. We recommend that customers take responsibility and use their judgment when configuring the security settings and that they ensure that they fully understand the problems that can occur when the product is used without configuring the security settings.

Energy Saving Control Function
To reduce power consumption when idle, the device comes equipped with a power management function that automatically shifts to “Sleep” to minimize power consumption after a certain period of time has passed since the device was last used. Sleep (page 61)
Automatic 2-Sided Print Function
This device includes 2-sided printing as a standard function. For example, by printing two 1-sided originals onto a single sheet of paper as a 2-sided print, it is possible to lower the amount of paper used. Duplex (page 170) Printing in duplex mode reduces paper consumption and contributes to the conservation of forest resources. Duplex mode also reduces the amount of paper that must be purchased, and thereby reduces cost. It is recommended that machines capable of duplex printing be set to use duplex mode by default.
Resource Saving – Paper
For the preservation and sustainable use of forest resources, it is recommended that recycled as well as virgin paper certified under environmental stewardship initiatives or carrying recognized ecolabels, which meet EN 12281:2002 or an equivalent quality standard, be used. This machine also supports printing on 64 g/m2 paper. Using such paper containing less raw materials can lead to further saving of forest resources. : EN12281:2002 “Printing and business paper – Requirements for copy paper for dry toner imaging processes” Contact your dealer or service representative for recommended paper types.
Environmental benefits of “Power Management”
To reduce power consumption when idle, this machine is equipped with a power management function that automatically activates energy-saving mode when the machine is idle for a certain period of time. Although it takes the machine a slight amount of time to return to READY mode when in energy-saving mode, a significant reduction in energy consumption is possible. It is recommended that the machine be used with the activation time for energy-saving mode set to the default setting.

Preparation before Use > Load Paper NOTE
· The number of sheets that can be held varies depending on your environment and paper type (thickness). · Do not use inkjet printer paper or paper with special coatings. (Doing so may lead to failures such as paper
jams.) · Use paper made for color printing if you want higher-quality color prints.
96

Preparation before Use > Load Paper
Precaution for Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following steps.
Fan the paper, then tap it on a level surface. In addition, note the following points. · If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a jam. · Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of
problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading in the multipurpose tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag. · If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period, protect all paper from humidity by removing it from the cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.
IMPORTANT If you copy onto used paper (paper already used for printing), do not use paper that is stapled or clipped together. This may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.
NOTE If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or company name, refer to the following: About Paper (page 392)
