cord. Failure to observe these steps may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the 
base of the power plug’s metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all 
dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, 
dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This 
may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
•Clean the machine using a slightly dampened cloth with a mild detergent mixed with water. 
Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances. Check detergent 
for flammability prior to use. If flammable substances come into contact with a high-voltage 
area inside the machine, it may result in a fire or electrical shock.
•There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. When removing 
jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, 
bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in 
burns or electrical shock.
•Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner 
remaining inside the toner cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
 
						

							xvii
CAUTION
•The fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings inside the machine may become hot 
during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do 
not touch the fixing unit, the duplex unit, and their surroundings, as doing so may result in 
burns.
•When removing jammed paper or replacing the toner cartridge, take care not to allow the toner 
to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If 
they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing them with warm water will 
set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the jammed 
paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or 
mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and 
immediately consult a physician.
•When loading paper or removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands 
on the edges of the originals or paper.
•When removing a used toner cartridge, remove the toner cartridge carefully to prevent the 
toner from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or 
mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
•Do not dismantle the toner cartridge, as doing so may cause toner to fly out and enter your 
eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold 
water and immediately consult physician.
•Handle the toner cartridge carefully. Avoid contact with any toner that is released from the 
cartridge. If toner makes contact with your skin, immediately wash the area with soap and cold 
water. If your skin still feels irritated after washing the area thoroughly, or you ingest toner, 
seek immediate medical treatment.

Consumables
WARNING
•Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner 
remaining inside the toner cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•Do not store toner cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may 
cause the toner or paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•When discarding used toner cartridges, put the toner cartridges in a bag to prevent the toner 
remaining inside the toner cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them in a location away 
from open flames.
CAUTION
•Keep toner cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these 
items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.
•Do not dismantle the toner cartridge, as dismantling it may cause toner dust to scatter on your 
skin or clothes. Immediately brush the toner off your clothes (but do not wash the clothing 
with hot water, which may cause the toner to set in the fabric). If toner gets into your eyes or 
mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and seek immediate medical treatment.
•Handle the toner cartridge carefully. Avoid contact with any toner that is released from the 
cartridge. If toner makes contact with your skin, immediately wash the area with soap and cold
