Safety Considerations
CAUTION
●
Unplug the power plug from the outlet at least
once a year, and clean the area around the
base of the plug’s metal pins to ensure all dust
is removed. If dust accumulates in this area, it
may result in a fire.
●
There are some areas inside the machine which
are subject to high voltages and high tempera-
tures. Take adequate precautions when
performing internal inspections to avoid burns or
electrical shock.
●
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.
●
When removing copy paper which has become
jammed inside the machine, take care not to
allow the toner on the jammed copy paper 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 with warm water will set the
toner and make it impossible to remove the
toner stains.
●
When removing copy paper which has become
jammed inside the machine, remove the
jammed copy paper gently to prevent the toner
on the paper from scattering and entering your
eyes or mouth. If toner enters your eyes or
mouth, wash immediately with cold water and
consult a physician.
●
When loading copy paper or removing jammed
originals or copy paper, take care not to cut your
hands on the edges of the original or copy
paper.
●
When removing a used toner cartridge from the
toner supply port, remove the cartridge carefully
to prevent toner from scattering and entering
your eyes or mouth. If toner enters your eyes or
mouth, wash immediately with cold water and
consult a physician.
