• Never block the ventilation slots on the printer. The ventilation slots are provided for proper ventilation of working parts inside the printer. Blocking the ventilation slots can cause the printer to overheat, resulting in a fire. Never place the printer on a soft surface, such as a sofa or rug.
- Make sure that the voltage of the power plug is the one indicated in the rating label (attached on the back of the printer) when you use the printer. - Use an extension cord that allows the current value greater than the necessary one indicated in the rating label (attached on the back of the printer). - When you use an extension cord, untie the cord binding, and insert the power plug completely into the extension cord outlet to ensure a firm connection between the power cord and the extension cord.
• When connecting or disconnecting the USB cable while the power plug is plugged into the AC power outlet, do not touch the metal part of the connector. This may lead to an electrical shock. CAUTION • Do not place heavy objects on the printer, as they may tip over or fall resulting in personal injury. • Turn OFF the power switch for safety when the printer will not be used for a long period of time such as overnight.
• There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the printer, as this may result in burns or an electrical shock. • Do not burn or throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
• When removing a used toner cartridge from the toner cartridge guide, remove the cartridge carefully to prevent the toner from scattering and entering your eyes or mouth. If the toner enters your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician. Consumables WARNING • Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite and result in burns or a fire.
