Maintenance and Inspections

Clean this machine periodically. If dust 

accumulates, the machine may not operate 

properly. When cleaning, be sure to observe the 

following. If a problem occurs during operation, 

see the User's Guide. If the problem cannot be 

resolved or you feel the machine requires an 

inspection, see "When a Problem Cannot Be 

Solved" in the User's Guide.

WARNING

• 

Before cleaning, turn OFF the power and 

unplug the power plug from the AC power 

outlet. Failure to do so may result in a fire or 

electrical shock.

• 

Unplug the power plug periodically and clean 

with a dry cloth to remove dust and grime. 

Accumulated dust may absorb humidity in the 

air and may result in a fire if it comes into 

contact with electricity.

• 

Use a damp, well wrung-out cloth to clean the 

machine. Dampen cleaning cloths with water 

only. Do not use alcohol, benzine, paint 

thinner, or other flammable substances. Do 

not use tissue paper or paper towels. If these 

substances come into contact with electrical 

parts inside the machine, they may generate 

static electricity or result in a fire or electrical 

shock.

• 

Check the power cord and plug periodically 

for damage. Check the machine for rust, dents, 

scratches, cracks, or excessive heat generation. 

Use of poorly-maintained equipment may 

result in a fire or electrical shock.

CAUTION

• 

The inside of the machine has high-

temperature and high-voltage components. 

Touching these components may result in 

burns. Do not touch any part of the machine 

that is not indicated in the manual.

• 

When loading paper or removing jammed 

paper, be careful not to cut your hands with 

the edges of the paper.

Consumables

WARNING

• 

Do not dispose of used toner cartridges or the 

like in open flames. Also, do not store toner 

cartridges or paper in a location exposed to 

open flames. This may cause the toner to 

ignite, and result in burns or fire.

• 

If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, 

carefully gather the toner particles together or 

wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way 

that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum 

cleaner that does not have safeguards against 

dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. 

Doing so may cause a malfunction in the 

vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion 

due to static discharge.

If you are using a cardiac pacemaker

• 

The toner cartridge generates a low level 

magnetic flux. If you are using a cardiac 

pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please 

move away from the toner cartridge and 

consult your physician immediately.

CAUTION

• 

Use caution not to inhale any toner. If you 

should inhale toner, consult a physician 

immediately.

• 

Use caution so that toner does not get into 

your eyes or mouth. If toner should get into 

your eyes or mouth, immediately wash with 

cold water and consult a physician.

• 

Use caution so that toner does not come into 

contact with your skin. If it should, wash with 

soap and cold water. If there is any irritation on 

your skin, consult a physician immediately.

• 

Keep the toner cartridges and other 

consumables out of the reach of small 

children. If toner is ingested, consult a 

physician or poison control center 

immediately.

• 

Do not disassemble or modify the toner 

cartridge or the like. Doing so may cause the 

toner to scatter.

• 

When removing the sealing tape from the 

toner cartridge, pull it out completely but 

without using excessive force. Doing otherwise 

may cause the toner to scatter.

IMPORTANT

Handling the toner cartridge

• 

Be sure to hold the toner cartridge using the 

handle.

• 

Do not touch the toner cartridge memory 

(   ) or the electrical contacts (   ). To avoid 

scratching the surface of the drum inside the 

machine or exposing it to light, do not open 

the drum protective shutter (   ).

• 

Except when necessary, do not take out the 

toner cartridge from the packing material or 

from this machine.

• 

The toner cartridge is a magnetic product. Do 

not move it close to products susceptible to 

magnetism including floppy disks and disk 

drives. Doing so may result in data corruption.

Storing the toner cartridge

• 

Store in the following environment to ensure 

safe and satisfactory use. 

Storage temperature range: 32 to 95°F (0 to 35°C) 

Storage humidity range: 35 to 85% RH (relative 

humidity/no condensation)*

• 

Store without opening until the toner 

cartridge is to be used.

• 

When removing the toner cartridge from this 

machine for storage, place the removed toner 

cartridge in the original packing material.

• 

When storing the toner cartridge, do not store 

it upright or upside down. The toner will 

solidify and may not return to its original 

condition even if it is shaken.

* Even within the storable humidity range, 

water droplets (condensation) may develop 

inside the toner cartridge if there is a 

difference of temperature inside and outside 

the toner cartridge. Condensation will 

adversely affect the print quality of toner 

cartridges.

Do not store the toner cartridge in the 

following locations

• 

Locations exposed to open flames

• 

Locations exposed to direct sunlight or bright 

light for five minutes or more

• 

Locations exposed to excessive salty air

• 

Locations where there are corrosive gases (i.e. 

aerosol sprays and ammonia)

• 

Locations subject to high temperature and 

high humidity
