Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation:

• When moving the printer be sure to lift it by the correct positions as shown below.

• Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION hot surface, or the surrounding areas. If the printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot.

* CAUTION hot surface

• Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause injury.

• Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.

• Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.

• When handling an imaging cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.

• Do not attempt to modify an imaging cartridge or take it apart. They cannot be refilled.

• Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes.

• Do not dispose of used imaging cartridges in fire, as they can explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

• If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.

• Wait at least one hour before using an imaging cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation.

• Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of children.

• Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause the printer to overheat.

• Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.

• Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer.

If you are not sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult your dealer.

• If you are unable to insert the AC plug into the electrical outlet, contact an electrician.

• Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and may require repairs by a qualified service representative.
