Be sure to follow these precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation:
Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTIONHot Surface Avoid Contact, or the surrounding areas. If the printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot.
* CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact
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 removing the developer cartridge, never touch the developing roller under the flap; otherwise, print quality will decline.
When handling the developer cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.
Do not turn the developer cartridge upside down or stand it on its ends.
Do not attempt to modify or take the developer cartridge apart. It cannot be refilled.
Do not touch the toner and avoid all contact with your eyes.
When removing or installing a photoconductor unit, prevent the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light for any longer than necessary. The light-sensitive drum is the green cylinder visible through the openings in the unit. Overexposing the drum might cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and may shorten the service life of the unit.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always place the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salt air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
Wait for at least one hour before using a developer cartridge or a photoconductor unit after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation.
Warning:
Do not dispose of developer cartridges or photoconductor units in fire, as they can explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
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 using outlets that other appliances are plugged into.
Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer.
