Installation Precautions
Environment
CAUTION
Avoid placing the machine on or in locations which are unstable or not level. Such locations may cause 
the machine 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 rear cover, to allow air to be properly 
ventilated out of the machine.
Other precautions
The service environmental conditions are as follows:
• Temperature: 50 to 90.5 °F (10 to 32.5 °C), but humidity should be 70% or less when  temperature is 90.5 
°F (32.5 °C)
• Humidity: 15 to 80%, but temperature should be 86 °F or less (30 °C or less) when  humidity is 80%
However, adverse environmental conditions may affect the image quality. It is recommended to use the machine 
at a temperature: around 60.8 to 80.6 °F or less (16 to 27 °C), humidity: around 36 to 65%. In addition, Avoid 
the following locations when selecting a site for the machine.
The machine automatically detects and displays the following message when the environmental temperature is 
too high or too low.

							xi To use the machine under optimum conditions, adjust the temperature and the humidity of your room if the 
message is displayed.
• 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 against casters, when this machine is moved after installation, the floor material may be 
damaged.
During copying, some ozone is released, but the amount does not cause any ill effect to one’s 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.
Plug the power cord securely into the mains power outlet and the power socket on the machine. A 
buildup of dust around the prongs on the plug or contact between the prongs and metallic objects may 
cause a fire or electric shock. Incomplete electrical contact could cause overheating and ignition.
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.
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 type of situation presents a danger of fire or electrical shock should they fall inside.
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.
Do not damage, break or attempt to repair the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on the cord, 
pull it unnecessarily or cause any other type of damage. These types of situations present a danger 
of fire or electrical shock.
Never attempt to repair or disassemble the machine or its parts as there is a danger of personal injury, 
fire, electrical shock or exposure to the laser. If the laser beam escapes, there is a danger of it causing 
blindness.
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 main power 
switch off immediately, be absolutely certain to remove the power plug from the outlet and then contact 
your service representative.
If anything harmful (paper clips, water, other fluids, etc.) falls into the machine, turn the main power 
switch off immediately. Next, remove the power plug from the outlet to avoid the danger of fire or 
electrical shock. Then contact your service representative.
Do not remove or connect the power plug with wet hands, as there is a danger of electrical shock.
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.)
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.
Always hold the designated parts only when lifting or moving the machine.
If this machine will be left unused for an extended period (e.g. overnight), turn it off at the main power 
switch. If the machine will not be used for an even longer period of time (e.g. vacation), remove the 
power plug from the outlet as a safety precaution. If the optional Fax kit is installed, note that turning 
the machine off at the main power switch disables fax transmission and reception.
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 front cover, turn off the main power switch, or pull out the power plug during copying.
When lifting or moving the machine, contact your service representative.
When moving the machine, please turn the four adjusters of the paper feeding unit until they reach the floor in 
order to stabilize the machine.
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 guide.
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.
This machine comes equipped with an HDD (hard disk drive). Do not attempt to move the machine while the 
power is still on. Since any resulting shock or vibration may cause damage to the hard disk, be sure to turn off 
the power before attempting to move the machine.
In the event there is a problem with the machine’s HDD (hard disk drive), stored data may be erased. It is 
recommended that important data be backed up on a PC or other media. Be also sure to store originals of 
important documents separately.
