Precautions
Read this section and remember these instructions to ensure your safety and
your printer’s correct performance. Follow the cautions and notices labeled on
the printer or marked with icons in the manual. Save this manual for future
reference.
• Use only the power cord furnished with the printer and a properly grounded
outlet. Do not use an extension power cord.
• Confirm that the rated voltage of your printer matches the voltage of your
power outlet. The maximum wattage of the printer is 600 watts.
• Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord before beginning
maintenance operations.
• Disconnect the power cord from the outlet whenever you are not using the
printer for an extended period of time.
• Disconnect the power cord from the outlet whenever thunder storms are
nearby. Leaving the power cord connected may allow damage to the printer
or other property.
• Do not put the printer in direct sunlight, near a heater, or near water. Leave
adequate space around the printer.
• Do not touch any connector contacts and corona wires. This could cause
electrostatic damage to the printer.
• Do not touch the heat roller and motors if you have been printing recently.
These parts may be hot.
• Do not touch or scratch the green drum surface, and do not expose it to light
for more than three minutes.
• Use only a shielded interface cable of 3 meters (10 feet) or less for the parallel
interface, 15 meters (50 feet) or less for the serial interface, 100 meters (328
feet) or less for Ethernet interface 10BASE-T connection, and 185 meters
(607 feet) or less for the Ethernet interface 10BASE-2 connection.
• Be sure the printer is turned off before connecting the interface.
• Do not turn the printer off while it is printing.
• Do not disassemble or remove any components unless instructed in the
maintenance procedures.
• Keep the print unit upright when removing or installing it.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the corona wire when cleaning it.
• Do not use alcohol or other cleaning solutions on the drum surface or on any
interior parts of the printer.
• Clear paper jams quickly, especially when they occur in the heat roller unit.
• Do not drop small objects, such as paper clips, into the printer.
• Do not set page margins off the physically printable page area.
• Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord immediately if an
abnormal condition occurs: for instance, if the printer smokes, prints
abnormally, becomes wet, or falls. Then consult your dealer.
