Requirements for Locating and Installing Machines

WARNING

  • Avoid taking the following actions close to or inside this machine because doing so can result in fire or electric shock:
    • Using flammable sprays, solvents, and so on
    • Placing flammable sprays, solvents, and so on
    • Placing containers holding liquids or small metal objects

CAUTION

  • Do not place the machine in a humid or dusty environment. Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.
  • Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. Doing so can cause the machine to fall or topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
  • Do not obstruct the machine’s vents. Doing so can result in fire as the internal components are overheated.
  • Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to fall or topple over, possibly resulting in injury.
  • When using this machine in a poorly ventilated or narrow room continuously for a long period of time or printing a high volume of materials, make sure to ventilate the room sufficiently
Requirements for Using Power Plugs and Cords

WARNING

  • Avoid taking the following actions because doing so can result in fire or electric shock:

    • Using any power supply voltage or frequencies other than those that match the specifications shown
    • Using multi-socket adaptors
    • Using extension cords
    • Touching the prongs of the power cable’s plug with anything metallic
  • Avoid applying the following actions to power cords because doing so can result in fire or electric shock:

    • Damaging them
    • Bundling them
    • Modifying them
    • Putting heavy objects on them
    • Pulling them forcibly
    • Bending them forcibly
  • Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. Doing so can result in electric shock.

  • The supplied power cord or cords are for use with this machine only. They cannot be used for appliances other than this machine. Also, do not use power cords other than the power cord or cords supplied with this machine.
    Doing so can result in fire or electric shock.

  •  To prevent fire or electric shock, disconnect the plug and the power cord from the wall outlet at least once a year and check them. If any of the following conditions exist, do not use the plug and the power cord continuously, and consult your dealer or service representative.

    • There are burn marks on the plug
    • The prongs on the plug are deformed

Requirements for Handling Supplies

WARNING

  • Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers while toner is inside in a place with an open flame. The toner can ignite and result in burns or fire.
  • Do not dispose of the following items into a fire. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame and burns can result.
    • Toner (new or used)
    • Toner containers while toner is inside
    • Toner-attached parts
  • Do not absorb spilled toner (including used toner) using a vacuum cleaner. Absorbed toner may cause ignition or explosion due to electric contact sparks inside the vacuum cleaner. However, you can use a toner-compatible industrial vacuum cleaner. When toner is spilled, remove the spilled toner using a wet cloth so that the toner is not scattered.

CAUTION

  • Do not open toner containers forcibly while toner is inside, crush or squeeze them. Toner spillage can cause accidental ingestion or dirtying of clothes, hands, or floor.
  • Do not leave the following items in a place where children can reach them:
    • Toner (new or used)
    • Toner containers while toner is inside
    • Toner-attached parts
  • When removing jammed paper, replenishing or replacing toner (new or used), make sure not to inhale toner.
    • When the following occurs while toner is handled, receive emergency measures first, and then consult a doctor if necessary.
    • When inhaling toner, gargle with a large amount of water and move into a fresh air environment.
    • When swallowing toner, dilute gastric contents with a large amount of water.
    • When getting toner into your eyes, flush them with a large amount of water.
  • When removing jammed paper, replenishing or replacing toner (new or used), be careful not to have toner dirt your skin or clothes.

CAUTION

  • If toner (new or used) comes into contact with your skin or clothes and smears them, take the following actions:
    • If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
    • If toner comes into contact with your clothes, wash the stained area with cold water. Heating the stained area by applying hot water will set the toner into the fabric and removing the stain may become impossible.
  • When replacing a container with toner (including used toner) or consumables with toner, be careful that the toner does not splatter. After removing used consumables and shutting the lid of the container if the lid is available, put them in a bag.
