Handling the main machine

This section explains safety precautions about handling the main machine.

Be sure to locate the machine as close as possible to a wall outlet. This will allow easy disconnection of the power cord in the event of an emergency.

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.

Keep the polythene materials (bags, etc.) supplied with this machine away from babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can result if polythene materials are brought into contact with the mouth or nose.

If the machine topples, or if a cover or other part gets broken, you must turn the power switch to off and 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.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the machine, take care that the power cord is not damaged under the machine. Failing to take these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.

After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might move or come down to cause an injury.

Before installing or removing options, always disconnect the power cord plugs from the wall outlet and allow time for the main unit to fully cool. Failing to take these precautions could result in burns.

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

Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.

For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place at an authorized dealer.

Wait at least one hour after power off before replacing parts. Not allowing the machine to cool may result in burns.

Type 1 weighs approximately 45 kg (99.2 lb.), type 2 weighs approximately 47 kg (103.7 lb.), and type 3 weighs approximately 52 kg (114.7 lb.). When moving the machine, use the inset grips on both sides, and lift slowly. The machine will break or cause injury if dropped.

When moving the machine after use, do not take out the print cartridge to prevent toner spill inside the machine.

Do not connect the Ethernet port of the machine to a network that may supply excess voltage, such as a telephone line. Doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
