Laser Components

WARNING:This printer generates a laser beam as part of the printing process.

The laser beam is a concentrated narrow beam of light that

produces extreme heat at its focal point. The laser beam in this

printer is invisible. Although you cannot see the beam, it can still

cause severe damage. Direct eye exposure to the laser beam may

cause eye injury or blindness.

To avoid permanent eye damage, follow these directions:



Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and

unplug the power cord from the AC wall outlet.



Do not disassemble the Raster Output Scanner Assembly (laser

scanner) or any laser component that displays a Laser Warning Sticker.



Use caution when you are working around the Raster Output Scanner

Assembly or when you are performing laser related troubleshooting or

repair procedures.



Never place a mirror or a reflective tool or object in the laser beam path.



Do not disassemble the printer in such a way that the laser beam can

exit the print engine during a print cycle.

Fuser Components

WARNING:This printer uses heat to fuse the toner image to a sheet of paper.

The Fuser Assembly is very hot. Switch off printer power and wait at least 30

minutes for the Fuser to cool before you attempt to service the Fuser Assembly or

adjacent components.

Safety Components: Make sure covers and panel are in place and that all

interlock switches are all functioning correctly after you have completed a printer

service call. If you bypass, or cheat, an interlock switch during a service call, use

extreme caution when working on or around the printer.

Warning Labels: Throughout the printer, warning labels are displayed on

potentially dangerous components. When you service the printer, check to make

certain that all warning labels are in place.

Most importantly, read and obey all posted warning labels.

WARNING:Turning the power off using the On/Off switch does not de-energize

the printer. You must remove the power cord to disconnect the

printer from the main power source. Keep the power cord accessible

for removal in case of an emergency.

Safety instructions: Read all installation instructions carefully before you plug

the product into a power source.

Care of product: Disconnect the power plug by pulling the plug, not the cord.



Disconnect the power plug if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise

damaged,



Or if any liquid or foreign material is spilled into the case,



Or if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture,



Or if the printer is dropped or damaged,



Or if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair,



And whenever you clean the product.

Ground the product: Plug the three-wire power cord (with grounding prong)

into grounded AC outlets only. If necessary, contact a licensed electrician to

install a properly grounded outlet.
