printer.
Safety precautions
Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient 
operation:
 
						

							4Safety Instructions ❏Because the printer weighs approximately 37 kg (81.5 lb) with 
consumable products installed, one person should not lift or 
carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the 
correct positions as shown below.
* Do not lift the printer by these areas.
*
 
						

							Safety Instructions5
❏Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION 
HIGH TEMPERATURE, or the surrounding areas. If the printer 
has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be 
very hot. If you must touch one of these areas, wait 30 minutes 
to allow the heat to subside before doing so.
1. Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit.
2. CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE
❏Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some 
components are sharp and may cause injury.
❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless 
instructed to do so in this guide.
❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the 
printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage 
it.
❏When handling a toner cartridge, always place it on a clean, 
smooth surface.

							6Safety Instructions ❏Do not attempt to modify a toner cartridge or take it apart. 
They cannot be refilled.
❏Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes.
❏Do not dispose of used toner cartridge, photoconductor units, 
fuser units, or waste toner collector in fire, as they can explode 
and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local 
regulations.
❏If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth 
with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles 
can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a 
spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
❏Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge after 
moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent 
damage from condensation.
❏When removing the photoconductor unit, avoid exposing it 
to room light for more than five minutes. The unit contains a 
green-colored light-sensitive drum. Exposure to light can 
damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on 
the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If 
you need to keep the unit out of the printer for long periods, 
cover it with an opaque cloth.
❏Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you 
remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always 
place the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the 
drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its 
surface and affect print quality.
❏To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor 
unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or 
corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to 
extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
 
						

							Safety Instructions7
❏Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of 
children.
❏Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause 
the printer to overheat.
❏Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.
❏Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this 
printer.
