Dos and Don'ts

The following items should be followed during use of this machine.

Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

If the machine emits smoke or odours, or if it behaves unusually, you must turn off its power immediately. After turning off the power, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Then contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use the machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

If metal objects, or water or other fluids fall inside this machine, you must turn off its power immediately. After turning off the power, be sure to disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. Then contact your service representative and report the problem. Do not use the machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

Do not touch this machine if a lightning strike occurs in the immediate vicinity. Doing so could result in electric shock.

Do not place heavy objects on the machine. Doing so can cause the machine to topple over, possibly resulting in injury.

Make sure the room where you are using the machine is well ventilated and spacious. Good ventilation is especially important when the machine is used heavily.

Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal components.

Do not look into the lamp. It can damage your eyes.

Do not turn the power off while the operation switch indicator is lit or blinking. Doing so may damage the hard disk.
Before unplugging the power cord or turning off the main power switch, make sure remaining memory space is at 100%, as shown on the screen. See “Turning On/Off the Power”.
After scanning originals continuously, the exposure glass may become warm - this is not a malfunction.
The area around the ventilation holes might feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a malfunction.
If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form inside it. After moving the machine, do not use it for at least an hour. The machine requires this time to adapt to its new environment.
The machine will malfunction if its internal temperature becomes too high. Be sure not to block the intake and exhaust vents.
Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation. See “Turning On/Off the Power”.
Do not open the covers of the machine when it is in operation. If you do, misfeeds might occur.
Do not move or tilt the machine when the power is on.
Do not allow small objects such as paper clips to fall into or become stuck inside the machine.
Do not knock the machine while it is operating (for instance, do not use the machine's surfaces to knock stacks of paper into square).
Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, steam may come from the exhaust vent behind the control panel during printing. This is water vapor from the paper, not a sign of malfunction.
Be sure to make a note of the registered machine settings in case they are lost due to accident or malfunction.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from a failure of the machine, loss of settings, or use of the machine.

Ventilation

When you use this machine in a confined space without good ventilation for a long time or print large quantities, you might detect an odd smell.

This might cause the output paper to also have an odd smell.

When you detect an odd smell, regularly ventilate in order to keep the workplace comfortable.

Set up the machine so that it does not directly ventilate towards people.
Ventilation should be more than 30 m³/hr/person.

New machine smell

When a machine is new, it might have a unique smell. This smell will subside in about one week.

When you detect an odd smell, sufficiently ventilate and circulate the air in the room.
