Notice for users in the UK
MAINS PLUG WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
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 
greenand-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.

When moving the machine, switch off the main power and remove the power plug from the outlet before moving.
The cord may be damaged, creating a risk of fire or electrical shock.
 CAUTION
 When removing the power plug from the outlet, do not pull on the cord.
Pulling on the cord may cause damage such as wire exposure and breakage, and may result in fire or electrical shock.
If you will not use the machine for a long time, be sure to remove the power plug from the outlet for safety.
Power notes
 WARNING
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. Do not use an extension cord or adapter to connect other devices to the power outlet used by the machine. Using an improper power supply may cause fire or electrical shock.
*  For the power supply requirements, see the name plate in the lower left corner of the left side of the machine.
Do not damage or modify the power cord.
Placing heavy objects on the power cord, pulling it, or forcibly bending it will damage the cord, resulting in fire or electrical shock.
Do not insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
This may cause electrical shock.

CAUTIONS 
						

							
9
Do not install the machine on an unstable or slanted surface. Install the machine on a surface that can withstand the weight of the machine.
Risk of injury due to the machine falling or toppling.If peripheral devices are to be installed, do not install on an uneven floor, slanted surface, or otherwise unstable surface. Danger of slippage, falling, and toppling. Install the product on a flat, stable surface that can withstand the weight of the product.
Do not install in a location with moisture or dust.
Risk of fire and electrical shock.If dust enters the machine, dirty output and machine failure may result.
Locations that are excessively hot, cold, humid, or dry (near heaters, humidifiers, air conditioners, etc.)
The paper will become damp and condensation may form inside the machine, causing misfeeds and dirty output. SPECIFICATIONS (page 18)If the location has an ultrasonic humidifier, use pure water for humidifiers in the humidifier. If tap water is used, minerals and other impurities will be emitted, causing impurities to collect on the inside of the machine and create dirty output.
When the machine is installed, the adjusters (5) must be lowered to the floor to secure the machine (prevent it from moving).
Rotate the adjusters in the locking direction until they are in firm contact with the floor.
If you find it necessary to reposition the machine due to rearrangement of your office layout or other reason, retract the adjusters from the floor, turn off the power, and then move the machine.
(After moving the machine, lower the adjusters again to secure the machine.)
Locations exposed to direct sunlight
Plastic parts may become deformed and dirty output may result.
LockRelease
Locations with ammonia gas
Installing the machine next to a diazo copy machine may cause dirty output.
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.
Near a wall
Be sure to allow the required space around the machine for servicing and proper ventilation. (The machine should be no closer than the distances indicated below from walls. The indicated distances are for the case when a saddle finisher and large capacity paper tray are not installed.)30 cm 30 cm
45 cm
 Locations subject to vibration.
Vibration may cause failure.
 CAUTION
The machine includes a built-in hard drive. Do not subject the machine to shock or vibration. In particular , never move the machine while the power is on.
• The machine should be installed near an accessible power outlet for easy connection.• 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.
