Safety Information
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to Radiation Control for
Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser
radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase
of user operation.
Laser Notice
This printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter
for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to
the requirements of IEC 825.
DANGER: CLASS 3B LASER RADIATION WHEN OPEN. AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO
BEAM.

viii
Ozone Concentration
The printers generate ozone gas (O3) which may concentrate in the place of installation and
cause an unpleasant smell. To minimize the concentration of ozone gas to less than 0.1 ppm,
we recommend you not to install the printer in a confined area where ventilation is blocked.

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 dust or dirt become attached to the
power plug, clean the plug to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock.
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or locations near
flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and maintenance, allow
access space as shown below. Leave adequate space, especially around the vents,
to allow air to be properly ventilated out of the printer.
xiii
WARNING:
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than that specified. Avoid multiple
connections in the same outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or
electrical shock.
Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If metallic objects come in contact with
the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire or electric shock.
Always connect the machine to an outlet with a ground connection to avoid the
danger of fire or electrical shock in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is
not possible, contact your service representative.
Other Precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine. The power supply cord is
used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that the socket/outlet is located/installed near the
equipment and is easily accessible.
WARNING:
Keep the plastic bags that are used with the machine away from children. The plastic
may cling to their nose and mouth causing suffocation.
xiv
WARNING:
Do not place metallic objects or containers with water (flower vases, flower pots,
cups, etc.) on or near the machine. This situation presents a danger of fire or
electrical shock should they fall inside.
Do not remove any of the covers from the machine as there is a danger of electrical
shock from high voltage parts inside the machine.
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. If the laser beam escapes, there is a
danger of it causing blindness.
If the machine becomes excessively hot, smoke appears from the machine, there is
an odd smell, or any other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or
electrical shock. Turn the power switch off (O) immediately, be absolutely certain to
remove the power plug from the outlet and then contact your service representative.
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the machine, turn
the power switch off (O) immediately. Next, be absolutely certain to remove the power
plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. Then contact your
service representative.
Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as there is a danger of
electrical shock.
Always contact your service representative for maintenance or repair of internal parts.
CAUTION
Do not pull the power cord when removing it from the outlet. If the power cord is
pulled, the wires may become broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock.
(Always grasp the power plug when removing the power cord from the outlet.)
Always remove the power plug from the outlet when moving the machine. If the
power cord is damaged, there is a danger of fire or electrical shock.
If the machine will not be used for a short period of time (overnight, etc.), turn the
power switch off (O). If it will not be used for an extended period of time (vacations,
etc.), remove the power plug from the outlet for safety purposes during the time the
machine is not in use.
xv
For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the outlet when performing
cleaning operations.
If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire or other trouble. It is
therefore recommended that you consult with your service representative in regard to
cleaning of internal parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to
seasons of high humidity. Consult with your service representative in regard to the
cost of cleaning the internal parts of the machine.
Other Precautions
Do not place heavy objects on the machine or cause other damage to the machine.
Do not open the upper front cover, turn off the power switch, or pull out the power plug during
printing.
When lifting or moving the machine, contact your service representative.
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.
Use shielded interface cables.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein
may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to incinerate the Toner Container. Dangerous sparks may cause
burns.
xvi
If toner happens to spill from the Toner Container, avoid inhalation and ingestion, as
well as contact with your eyes and skin.
• If you do happen to inhale toner, move to a place with fresh air and gargle
thoroughly with a large amount of water. If coughing develops, contact a
physician.
• If you do happen to ingest toner, rinse your mouth out with water and drink 1 or 2 cups of
water to dilute the contents of your stomach. If necessary, contact a physician.
• If you do happen to get toner in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. If there is any
remaining tenderness, contact a physician.
• If toner does happen to get on your skin, wash with soap and water.
Do not attempt to force open or destroy the Toner Container.
Other Precautions
After use, always dispose of the Toner Container in accordance with Federal, State and Local
rules and regulations.
Store all consumables in a cool, dark location.

You can print a status page to check how much toner remains in the toner container. The Toner
Gauge in the consumables status section on the status page shows a progress bar for each color,
which roughly represents how much toner is left in the toner container.
Toner Kits
It is strongly recommended that you use the new toner kit supplied from the manufacturer to prevent
printer troubles and ensure a long printer life.
The toner kits are supplied in 4 different colors: cyan, magenta, yellow and black.
A new toner kit for each color contains the following items:
• Toner Container
• Cleaning cloth
• Plastic waste bags for old toner container and old waste toner box
• Waste toner box
• Installation Guide
NOTE: Do not remove the toner container from the carton until you are ready to install it in the
printer.
• When the printer becomes low on toner, for example in the cyan container, the printer displays
the message Toner low C, M, Y, K as the first caution. Note the replacement is not always
necessary at this stage.
• If you ignore the above message and continue printing, the printer displays the message
Replace toner — just before the toner is used up. The toner container must be replaced
immediately. Clean the separate charger wires, etc. After the cleaning is finished, however, the
message does not automatically change to Ready. To restart printing, you must press [GO] and
make the printer ready.
In either case, replace the toner container, refer to Replacing the Toner Container on page 3-9.
3-8
NOTE: During toner container replacement, temporarily put storage media and computer supplies
(such as floppy disks) away from around the toner container. This is to avoid damaging media by
the magnetism of the toner.
You do not have to turn the printer power off before starting the replacement. Any data that may be
in the process of printing in the printer will be deleted if you turn the printer power off.
To replace the toner container, first make sure of the color of the toner container requiring
replacement. In this example, it is assumed that you are replacing the black toner container.

CAUTION: When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not to tear it. Torn pieces of paper are difficult
to remove and may be easily overlooked, deterring the jam recovery.
• If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper, replace the paper with paper
from another ream, flip the paper stack over, or rotate the paper stack 180 degrees. The printer
may have problems if paper jams recur after the paper was replaced.
• Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after printing is resumed depends
on the location of the paper jam.
