Maintaining the Machine

Do not cover the machine immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait
until it cools down.

Do not leave the machine’s covers open for any length of time, especially
in well-lit places; light may damage the drum cartridge.

Do not open the machine’s covers during printing.

Do not tap media stacks on the machine.

Do not lubricate or disassemble the machine.

Do not tilt the machine.

Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so may
damage the machine and cause the print quality to deteriorate.

Keep media in the output bin at a minimum level. If the media is stocked
too high, your machine may experience media misfeeds and excessive
media curl.

Make sure two people are avail-
able to lift the machine when
moving it.

Keep the machine level to avoid
toner spillage.

When lifting the machine, grasp
the areas shown in the figure.

Do not lift the machine with
Tray 2 together.

If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap.

CAUTION

If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water
and consult a doctor.

Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you
plug in the machine.
