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.

come into contact with the prongs on the plug, it may cause a fire 
or electric shock.
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.
