symbol indicates that the related section includes information on actions which must be performed. Specifics of the required action are indicated inside the symbol. [Alert of required action] [Remove the power plug from the outlet] [Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection] Please contact your service representative to order a replacement if the safety warnings in this Operation Guide are illegible or if the guide itself is missing.
IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ FIRST. CAUTION LABELS Caution labels have been attached to the machine at the following locations for safety purposes. Be sufficiently careful to avoid fire or electric shock when removing a paper jam or when replacing toner. Label 2 High temperature inside.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS Environment Caution Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine. Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt.
If the floor is delicate, when this product is moved after installation, the floor material may be damaged. During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one's health. If, however, the machine is used over a long period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when making an extremely large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant.
Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend it unnecessarily or cause any other type of damage. These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical shock. Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock or damage to the laser.
Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit boards. They could be damaged by static electricity. Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this handbook. Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
SAFETY OF LASER BEAM 1. Safety of laser beam This copier has been certified by the manufacturer to Class 1 level under the radiation performance standards established by the U.S.DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services) in 1968. This indicates that the product is safe to use during normal operation and maintenance.
Safety Instructions Regarding the Disconnection of Power Caution The power plug is the main isolation device! Other switches on the equipment are only functional switches and are not suitable for isolating the equipment from the power source. Attention Le débranchement de la fiche secteur est le seul moyen de mettre l’appareil hors tension. Les interrupteurs sur l’appareil ne sont que des interrupteurs de fonctionnement: ils ne mettent pas l’appareil hors tension.
