Installation Precautions
Environment
CAUTION: Avoid placing the machine on or in locations 
which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause the 
machine to fall down or fall over. This type of situation presents 
a danger of personal injury or damage to the machine. 
Avoid locations with humidity or dust and dirt. If dust or dirt 
become attached to the power plug, clean the plug to avoid the 
danger of fire or electrical shock.
Avoid locations near radiators, heaters, or other heat sources, or 
locations near flammable items, to avoid the danger of fire.
To keep the machine cool and facilitate changing of parts and 
maintenance, allow access space as shown below. Leave 
adequate space, especially around the vents, to allow air to be 
properly ventilated out of the machine.
Other Precautions
Adverse environmental conditions may affect the safe operation and 
performance of the machine. Install in an air-conditioned room 
(recommended room temperature: around 73.4 °F (23 °C), humidity: 
around 50 %), and avoid the following locations when selecting a site for 
the machine.
• Avoid locations near a window or with exposure to direct sunlight. 
• Avoid locations with vibrations. 
• Avoid locations with drastic temperature fluctuations. 
• Avoid locations with direct exposure to hot or cold air.
• Avoid poorly ventilated locations.
If the floor is delicate, when the product is moved after installation, the floor 
may be damaged.

xBASIC OPERATION GUIDE During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause 
any ill effect to ones health. If, however, the machine is used over a long 
period of time in a poorly ventilated room or when making an extremely 
large number of copies, the smell may become unpleasant. To maintain 
the appropriate environment for copy work, it is suggested that the room 
be properly ventilated.
Power Supply/Grounding the Machine
WARNING: 
Do not use a power supply with a voltage other 
than that specified. Avoid multiple connections in the same 
outlet. These types of situations present a danger of fire or 
electrical shock. 
WARNING: Plug the power cord securely into the outlet. If 
metallic objects come in contact with the prongs on the plug, it 
may cause a fire or electric shock. 
WARNING: Always connect the machine to an outlet with a 
ground connection to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock 
in case of an electric short. If an earth connection is not possible, 
contact your Service Representative. 
Other Precautions
Connect the power plug to the closest outlet possible to the machine.
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Ensure that 
the socket/outlet is located/installed near the equipment and is easily 
accessible.
Handling of Plastic Bags
WARNING: Keep the plastic bags that are used with the 
machine away from children. The plastic may cling to their nose 
and mouth causing suffocation.

Precautions for Use
Cautions when Using the Machine
WARNING: Do not place metallic objects or containers with 
water (flower vases, flower pots, cups, etc.) on or near the 
machine. This situation presents a danger of fire or electrical 
shock should they fall inside. 
WARNING: Do not remove any of the covers from the 
machine as there is a danger of electrical shock from high 
voltage parts inside the machine. 
WARNING: Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the 
power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the cord, pull it, bend 
it unnecessarily or cause any other type of damage.
These types of situations present a danger of fire or electrical 
shock. 
WARNING: Never attempt to repair or disassemble the 
machine or its parts as there is a danger of fire, electrical shock 
or damage to the laser. If the laser beam escapes, there is a 
danger of it causing blindness.
WARNING: If the machine becomes excessively hot, 
smoke appears from the machine, there is an odd smell, or any 
other abnormal situation occurs, there is a danger of fire or 
electrical shock. Turn the power switch off (
{) immediately, be 
absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the outlet and 
then contact your Service Representative.
WARNING: If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other 
fluids, etc.) falls into the machine, turn the power switch off (
{) 
immediately. Next, be absolutely certain to remove the power 
plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or electrical shock. 
Then contact your Service Representative. 
WARNING: Do not remove or connect the power plug with 
wet hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock. 
WARNING: Always contact your Service Representative 
for maintenance or repair of internal parts.
CAUTION: Do not pull the power cord when removing it 
from the outlet. If the power cord is pulled, the wires may become 
broken and there is a danger of fire or electrical shock. (Always grasp the 
power plug when removing the power cord from the outlet.) 
CAUTION: Always remove the power plug from the outlet 
when moving the machine. If the power cord is damaged, there 
is a danger of fire or electrical shock.

xiiBASIC OPERATION GUIDE If the machine will not be used for a short period of time 
(overnight, etc.), turn the power switch off (
{). If it will not be 
used for an extended period of time (vacations, etc.), remove the 
power plug from the outlet for safety purposes during the time the 
machine is not in use.
Always only hold the designated parts when lifting or moving the 
machine.
For safety purposes, always remove the power plug from the 
outlet when performing cleaning operations.
If dust accumulates within the machine, there is a danger of fire 
or other trouble. It is therefore recommended that you consult 
with your Service Representative in regard to cleaning of internal 
parts. This is particularly effective if accomplished prior to 
seasons of high humidity. Consult with your Service 
Representative in regard to the cost of cleaning the internal parts of the 
machine.
Other Precautions
Do not place heavy objects on the machine or cause other damage to the 
machine.
Do not open the upper front cover, turn off the power switch, or pull out the 
power plug during copying.
When lifting or moving the machine, contact your Service Representative.
Do not touch electrical parts, such as connectors or printed circuit boards. 
They could be damaged by static electricity.
Do not attempt to perform any operations not explained in this handbook.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of 
procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous 
radiation exposure.
Do not look directly at the light from the scanning lamp as it may cause your 
eyes to feel tired or painful.
