Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
•
When cleaning the machine, disconnect the power cord. Failure to observe these steps may result
in a fire or electrical shock.
•
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of
the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime
is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky
location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short
circuit and result in a fire.
•
Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with water. Do not
use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check detergent for
flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage area
inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•
There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. 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.
•
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining
inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
•
The toner fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine may become hot during use. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not touch the toner fixing
unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or electrical shock.
•
When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to allow the toner 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 them with warm water will set the
toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
