Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. 
While moving the machine, you should take care that the power cord will not 
be damaged under the machine.
When you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull the 
plug (not the cable).
Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside 
the machine.
Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
For environmental reasons, do not dispose of the machine or expended 
supply waste at household waste collection points. Disposal can take place 
at an authorized dealer.
The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a 
label indicating the “hot surface”. Otherwise, an injury might occur.
If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a 
fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large 
amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of wa-
ter. Consult a doctor if necessary.
Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or 
replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected 
area thoroughly with soap and water.
If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the 
toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.

tric shock might occur.
Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, 
an injury might occur.

ENERGY STAR Program
❖Low-Power mode and Off mode or Sleep mode
This product automatically lowers its power consumption when it is not op-
erated for a fixed time (standard setting time: 1 minute). This is called “Off
mode” on a single function copying machine, and “Sleep mode” on a multiple
function machine equipped with optional facsimile and printing functions.
 Off mode: Same as the condition when the operation switch is turned off. 
 Sleep mode: Same as the condition when the operation switch is turned off.
Receiving fax messages and printing from a computer are possible. 
If you want to operate this product while it is in either of these modes, do one
of the following:
 Turn on the operation switch.
 Place an original in the Auto Document Feeder (ADF).
 Lift and lower the exposure glass cover or the ADF.
The default interval before entering Off mode or Sleep mode can be adjusted.
To change it, see p.59 “Auto Off Timer”.
The ENERGY STAR Program establishes two modes which lower the power
consumption of the product when it is not operated for a fixed time. These
modes are the Low-power mode and the Off mode or Sleep mode. This prod-
uct has only one mode, the Off mode or Sleep mode. This mode meets the re-
quirements of both the Low-power mode and Off mode or Sleep mode. In this
manual, the Off mode is called the Auto Off mode.
❖Duplex Priority
The ENERGY STAR Program recommends the duplex function. By conserv-
ing paper resources this function is less of a burden to the environment. For
applicable machines, duplex function (one-sided originals→ two-sided cop-
ies) can be selected preferentially when the operation switch or the main pow-
er switch is turned on, the {Energy Saver} key is pressed, or the machine resets
automatically. 
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, we have determined 
that this machine model meets the ENERGY STAR 
Guidelines for energy efficiency.
The ENERGY STAR Guidelines intend to establish an international energy-saving system for 
developing and introducing energy-efficient office equipment to deal with environmental is-
sues, such as global warming.
When a product meets the ENERGY STAR Guidelines for energy efficiency, the Partner shall 
place the ENERGY STAR logo onto the machine model.
This product was designed to reduce the environmental impact associated with office equip-
ment by means of energy-saving features, such as Low-power mode.
