Safety and Regulatory Information
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.

iii
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 suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove 
the moulded plug.
Warni ng
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.
