Laser printer precautions
This printer uses laser technology. The following list of precautions
applies whenever you open the printer cover. Even if you are
familiar with other types of printers, be sure to follow these
precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation.
l
Do not touch
the
fuser, which is marked by
a CAUTION: HOT
SURFACE
label. If the printer
has
been in operation, the fuser is
very hot.
Protect the light-sensitive photoconductor unit from exposure to
light. Never expose it to sunlight, and expose it to room light for
no
longer than necessary. Overexposing the unit may cause
abnormally dark or light areas to appear
on
the printed page and
thereby reduce the service life of the photoconductor unit.
If you must expose the unit either by taking it out of the printer
or by leaving the printer cover open, cover the unit with a soft
cloth or sheet of paper.
l
Be very careful with
the
photoconductor unit. When you remove
it from the printer, always set it on a clean, smooth surface. Also,
move it only with the green handles, since oils from your skin
can permanently damage parts of it and
may
affect print quality.
Avoid pressing on the top of the toner cartridge.
Never try to force
the
printer’s components into place. Although
the
printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can
damage it.
