Laser Printer Precautions

This printer uses laser technology. The following list of

precautions applies whenever you open the printer cover. Even

if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to follow

these precautions carefully to ensure safe, trouble-free operation.

wWarning:

Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION

Hot Surface Avoid Contact. If the printer has been in use, the

fuser can be very hot.

❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless

instructed to do so in this guide.

CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact

2 Safety Instructions

❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the

printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage

it.

❏When removing the developer cartridge, never touch the

developing roller under the flap; otherwise, the print quality

will decline.

❏Do not turn the cartridge upside down or stand it on its sides.

❏When handling the cartridge, always set it on a clean, smooth

surface.

❏Do not attempt to modify or take apart the cartridge. It cannot

be refilled.

❏Try not to touch the toner and avoid all contact with your eyes.

❏Do not use a cartridge for at least one hour after moving it

from a cool to a warm environment.

Safety Instructions 3

❏When removing or installing a new photoconductor unit,

avoid exposing it to light. The green cylinder, visible through

the openings in the unit, is a light-sensitive drum. If the

photoconductor unit is out of the printer for a long period,

covering it with an opaque cloth prevents extended exposure

to light and possible damage. Exposure to light will damage

the drum, resulting in dark or light areas on the printed page

and may shorten the service life of the unit.

❏Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you

remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always set

the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching the

drum, as oils from your skin can permanently damage its

surface and may affect print quality.

❏To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor

unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or

corrosive gasses (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject

to extremes or rapid changes of temperature or humidity.

Also, be sure to keep the consumable components out of the

reach of children.

Hinweis:

Die Geräteanschlußleitung muß den einshlägigen Normen genügen. Es

muß eine dreiadrige Leitung verwendet werden. Die Anshlußleitung

darf nicht leichter als H05VV-F order H05VVH2-F sein.
