Safety Considerations
xxiii
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
temperatures. Take adequate precautions when performing internal inspections to avoid burns
or electrical shock.
•
The symbol
inside the machine indicates that the area is subject to high temperature, and
should not be touched without care.
•
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 paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care not to allow the
toner on the jammed 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 paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the jammed
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 paper or removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on
the edges of the original or 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.
