MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Notice for users in the UK
The mains lead of this equipment is already fitted with a mains plug which is either a non-rewireable
(moulded) or a rewireable type. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved fuse
to BS1362 marked            or 
         and of the same rating as the one removed from the plug must
be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse on the moulded plug. Never use the plug without
the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied
either cut-off the moulded plug (if this type is fitted) or remove by undoing the screws if a rewireable
plug is fitted and fit an appropriate type observing the wiring code below.
DANGER:The fuse should be removed from the cut-off plug and the plug destroyed immediately
and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted
elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN-AND-YELLOW: Earth
BLUE: Neutral
BROWN: Live
As the colours of the wires in this mains lead may not correspond with coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN-AND-YELLOW  must be connected to the terminal in the plug
which is marked with the letter E, or by the safety earth symbol  , or coloured green or green-
and-yellow.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured red.
If you have any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
WARNING: THIS APPARATUS MUST BE EARTHED.

CAUTIONS
Follow the cautions below when using this machine.
CAUTIONS ON USING
Warning:
 The fusing area is hot. Exercise care in this area when removing misfed paper.
 Do not look directly at the light source. Doing so may damage your eyes.
Caution:
 Do not switch the machine rapidly on and off. After turning the machine off, wait 10 
to 15 seconds before turning it back on.
 Place the machine on a firm, level surface.
 When the machine is not used for a long time, for example, during prolonged 
holidays, turn the power switch off and remove the power cord from the outlet.
 When moving the machine, be sure to turn the power switch off and remove the 
power cord from the outlet.
 Do not cover the machine with a dust cover, cloth or plastic film while the power is 
on. Doing so may prevent heat dissipation, damaging the machine.
 Do not make any modifications to this machine. Doing so may result in personal 
injury or damage to the machine.
 Do not make copies of anything which is prohibited from copying by law. The 
following items are normally prohibited from printing by national law. Other items 
may be prohibited by local law.


 Do not touch the photoconductive drum. Scratches or smudges on the drum will 
cause dirty prints.
 Store spare toner cartridges in a cool dry place without removing from the package 
before use.
 If they are exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, poor copies may result.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Improper installation may damage this product. Please note the following during initial installation and whenever the 
machine is moved.
1. The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.
2. Be sure to connect the power cord only to a power outlet that meets the specified voltage and current 
requirements. Also make certain the outlet is properly grounded.
 For the power supply requirements, see the name plate on the back of the main unit.
3. Do not install your machine in areas that are:
 damp, humid, or very dusty 
 exposed to direct sunlight 
 poorly ventilated 
 subject to extreme temperature or humidity changes, e.g., near 
an air conditioner or heater.
4. Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for 
servicing and proper ventilation.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
*  The products without the logo may not meet the International Energy Star Program guideline.
Connect the machine to a power outlet which is not used for other electric appliances. If a lighting fixture is 
connected to the same outlet, the light may flicker.
CAUTION:
Do not install the machine in a location with poor air circulation.
A small amount of ozone is created inside the machine during printing. The amount of ozone created is not sufficient to be 
harmful; however, an unpleasant odor may be noticed during large copy runs, and thus the machine should be installed in a 
room with a ventilation fan or windows that provide sufficient air circulation. (The odor may occasionally cause headaches.)
* Install the machine so that people are not directly exposed to exhaust from the machine. If installed near a window, ensure 
that the machine is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Products that have earned the ENERGY STAR
® are designed to protect the environment through 
superior energy efficiency.
