IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

PREVENTION OF PHYSICAL INJURY
1. Before disassembling or assembling any parts of the copier, make sure that the
power cord is unplugged.
2. The wall outlet should be near the copier and easily accessible.
3. If any adjustment or operation check has to be made with exterior covers off or
open while the main switch is turned on, keep hands away from electrified or
mechanically driven components.
4. If the Start key is pressed before the copier completes the warm-up period the
Ready indicator will alternately light green and red. When in this condition, keep
hands away from mechanical and electrical components, as the copier will start
making copies as soon as the warm-up period is completed.
5. The inside and the metal parts of the fusing unit become extremely hot while
the copier is operating. Be careful to avoid touching those components with
your bare hands.

HEALTH SAFETY CONDITIONS
1. Toner and developer are non-toxic, but if you get either of them in your eyes by
accident, it may cause temporary eye discomfort. Try to remove with eye drops
or flush with water as first aid. If unsuccessful, get medical attention.
2. Never operate the copier without the ozone filter installed.

OBSERVANCE OF ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS
1. The copier must be maintained by a trained customer service representative.

SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL
1. Do not incinerate the CTDM. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when exposed to
open flame.
2. Dispose of the CTDM and organic photoconductor in accordance with local
regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
