Maintenance and Inspections
WARNING
• When cleaning the machine, disconnect the power cord. Failure to observe these
steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
• Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around
the base of the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to
ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long
period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the
power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
• Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with
water. Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances.
Check detergent for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into
contact with a high-voltage area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical
shock.
• There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When
removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow
necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as
this may result in burns or electrical shock.
• Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
• The toner fixing unit and its surroundings inside the machine may become hot during
use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do
not touch the toner fixing unit and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns
or electrical shock.
• When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to allow
the toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your
hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water.
Washing them with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove
the toner stains.
