Power Plug and Power Cord


1. Always make sure that the power plug is fully completely into the wall outlet. A
partially inserted plug could lead to heat generation (due to a power surge
caused by high resistance) that can result in fire and other problems.
2. Always check the power plug and make sure that it is free of dust and lint.
Clean it if necessary. A dirty plug can generate heat that can result in fire.
3. Inspect the length of the power cord for cuts or other damage. A frayed or
otherwise damaged power cord can cause a short circuit which could lead to a
fire or injury from electrical shock. If the power cord is damaged in any way, call
for service.
4. Check the length of the power cord between the machine and power supply.
Make sure the power cord is not coiled or wrapped around any object such as a
table leg. Coiling the power cord can cause excessive heat to build up and this
could result in fire.
5. Make sure that the area around the wall outlet is free of obstacles so the power
cord can be removed quickly in case of an emergency.
6. Make sure that the power cord is grounded (earthed) at the wall outlet using the
ground wire on the plug.
7. Insert the power cord into the wall outlet directly. Never use an extension cord.
8. When disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull on the plug,
not the cable.

Draft 2008/04/22

RWARNING
Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before moving the machine. While moving
the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine.
When disconnecting the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the plug (not the
cable).
Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the
machine.
Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended supply waste
at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an authorized
dealer.
The inside of this machine gets very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label
indicating the hot surface. Otherwise, an injury might occur.
The fusing section of this machine gets very hot. Caution should be taken when
removing misfed paper.
Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. Otherwise a fire or an electric shock
might occur.
Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, an injury
might occur.
Do not use aluminum foil, carbon paper, or similar conductive paper to avoid a fire or
machine failure.
If you use the machine in a confined space, make sure there is a continuous air
turnover.
If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air
environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
If toner or used toner gets into eyes, wash eyes immediately using lots of water.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute it by drinking lots of water. Consult a doctor
if necessary.
Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing
toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly
with soap and water.
If toner gets on your clothing, wash it using cold water. Hot water will set the toner
into the fabric and might make removing the stain impossible.

SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL


1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly
when exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, developer, and organic photoconductors in
accordance with local regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
