    Important Precautions and Safety Information
    When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to 
    reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:
    1 Read and understand all instructions.
    2 Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
    3 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature accompanying the machine.
    4 If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the  safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you 
    cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for 
    assistance.
    5 Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not use liquid or  aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
    6 Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing  serious damage.
    7 Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air  conditioner or ventilation duct.
    8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your machine  where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
    9 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance,  and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
    10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or PC interface cords.
    11 Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet  openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or 
    shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.
    12 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a  qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing 
    covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly 
    could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used. 
    13 Unplug the machine from the PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to  qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
    • When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.
    • If liquid has been spilled into the machine. 
    • If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
    • If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.
    • If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
    • If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
    14 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper  adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive 
    work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.
    15 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of  electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power for the duration of 
    the lightning storm.
    16 If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray may become  hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children away from the surface. 17   The Power cord supplied with your machine should be used for safe operation. If 
    you are using a cord which is longer than 2 m with 110 V machine, then it should 
    be 16 AWG* or bigger.
    18 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
    Laser Safety Statement

    825.
    Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system 
    and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser

    Laser/Scanner assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can 
    damage your eyes.
    When using this product, these basic safety precautions should always be 
    followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:

    Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)
    IMPORTANT
    The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp 
    plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you 
    must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. 
    If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another 
    fuse cover. 
    Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.
    The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be 
    suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 
    amp plug sockets. You need to buy a su itable plug adaptor. Do not remove 
    the moulded plug.
    WARNING
    If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
    You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric 
    shock if you plug it into a socket.
    IMPORTANT WARNING: You must earth this machine.
    The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
    • Green and Yellow:  Earth
    •Blue: Neutral
    •Brown: Live
    If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, 
    do the following:
    You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter 
    “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.
    You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” 
    or colored black.
    You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter 
    “L” or colored red.
    You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.
