Other points
y Do not turn the power OFF with jammed paper left inside the equipment. This could cause
malfunctions when the main switch is turned ON next time.
y Be sure to turn the power OFF when leaving the office or if there is a power failure.
y Be careful because the paper exit area and paper just after exiting are hot.
y Do not place anything other than paper on the receiving tray. This could disturb a normal
operation and cause malfunctions.
y Do not touch the photoconductive drum surface or the transfer charger. This could cause
image problems.

During maintenance or inspection
Warning
y Never attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the equipment by yourself. You could cause
a fire or get an electric shock.
Always contact your service representative for maintenance or repair of the internal parts of
the equipment.
y Do not let liquids such as water and oil get into the system when cleaning the floor. This
could cause a fire and give you an electric shock.
Caution
y Always keep the plug and outlet clean. Prevent them from accumulating dust and dirt. This
could cause a fire and give you an electric shock due to the heat released by electric leak-
age.
Other points
y Do not use such solvents as thinner or alcohol when cleaning the surface of the equipment.
- This could warp the shape of the surface or leave it discolored.
- When using a chemical cleaning pad to clean it, pay attention to any cautionary points.
When handling supplies
Warning
y Never attempt to incinerate toner cartridges. Dispose of used toner cartridges in accordance
with local regulations.
Other points
y Read the operator’s manual carefully to replace the toner cartridge using the correct proce-
dure. An improper procedure could cause toner leakage or scattering.
y Do not open the toner cartridge forcibly. This could cause toner leakage or scattering.
y Keep the toner cartridge out of the reach of children.
y If toner is spilt on your clothes, wash it off with cold water. Your clothes will be stained with
toner and it will not come out if you use warm water.
y If toner leaks from the toner cartridge, be careful not to inhale or touch it.
