PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Before disassembling or assembling parts of the machine and peripherals, make sure that they are
unplugged.
2. The plug should be near the machine and easily accessible.
3. Note that some components of the machine and the paper tray unit are supplied with electrical voltage
even if the main power switch is turned off.
4. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or open while the main
switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or mechanically driven components.
5. If the [Start] key is pressed before the machine completes the warm-up period (the [Start] key starts
blinking red and green ), keep hands away from the mechanical and the electrical components as
the machine starts making copies as soon as the warm-up period is completed.
6. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while the machine is operating.
Be careful to avoid touching those components with your bare hands.
