− A location where block the ventilation slots (too close to walls, bed, 
shaggy rug, and other similar objects)
 
− A damp or dusty location
 
− A location exposed to direct sunlight or an outside place
 
− A location subject to high temperatures
 
− A location near open fl  ames
 
− A location with poor ventilation system
•  Although ozone is generated from the machine during operation,  it does not have any aff  ect on the human body. However, if you 
intend to use the machine for long periods of time, ensure that the 
installation location is well ventilated.
•  Do not connect unapproved cables to this machine. Doing so may  result in a fi  re or an electric shock.
•  Machines with a hard disk may not operate properly when used at  high altitudes of about 3,000 meters above sea level, or higher.
Power Supply
  WARNING
•  Do not use power cords other than the one provided, as this can  result in a fi  re or electrical shock.
•  Do not modify or bend the power cord and do not pull on it with  great force. Do not place heavy objects on the power cord. Damaging 
the power cord may result in a fi  re or an electric shock.
•  Do not plug or unplug the power plug with wet hands, as this can  result in electrical shock.
•  Do not use extension cords or multi-plug power strips with this  machine. Doing so may result in a fi  re or electric shock.
•  Do not bundle up or tie up the power cord in a knot, as this can result  in a fi  re or electrical shock.
•  Insert the power plug completely into the AC power outlet. Failure to  do so can result in a fi  re or electrical shock.
•  Remove the power plug completely from the power outlet during  a thunder storm. Failure to do may result in a fi  re, electric shock, or 
malfunction.
  CAUTION
•  Use only a power supply that meets the voltage requirements listed  herein. Failure to do so may result in a fi  re or electric shock.
•  Do not obstruct the power outlet where this machine is connected,  so that you can unplug the power cord easily in an emergency.

•  Check the power cord and plug regularly for damage. Check  the machine for rust, dents,  scratches, cracks, or excessive heat 
generation. Use of poorly-maintained equipment may result in a fi  re 
or electric shock.
Consumables

•  Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open fl  ames. This may 
cause an ignition, and result in burns or fi  re.
•  If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully wipe up the loose  toner with a damp, soft cloth and avoid inhaling any toner dust. 
Never use a vacuum cleaner to clean up loose toner. Doing so 
may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner or result in a dust 
explosion due to static discharge.

Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 
laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 
(DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation 
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the machine 
does not produce hazardous radiation. Since radiation emitted inside 
the machine is completely confi ned within protective housings and 
external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during 
any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food 
and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on 
August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured 
from August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in 
the United States.
  CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other 
than those specifi  ed in this manual may result in hazardous radiation 
exposure.
The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine 
and is not in a user access area.
