In the normal operation of the product by the user, no radiation can leak from the machine. This printer is classified as a Class 1 laser product under EN608251:1994, and in the USA, it is classified as Class 1 under the code of Federal Regulations, §1040.10 of Title 21. The label shown below is attached to this printer. This label is attached to the laser scanner unit inside the printer. (100­127 V / 220­240 V models) This printer has been classified under EN60825-1:1994 and conforms to the following classes: CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT LASER KLASSE 1 APPAREIL A RAYONNEMENT LASER DE CLASSE 1 APPARECCHIO LASER DI CLASSE 1 PRODUCTO LASER DE CLASE 1 APARELHO A LASER DE CLASSE 1 (220-240 V model only) CAUTION: Performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure. vi Important Safety Instructions CAUTION: This printer is a high-precision electronic device. Before operation, be sure to read the following instructions to handle the printer properly. Read the manual carefully before operation. Do not dispose of these instructions. Save them for future reference. Follow all warnings and instructions on the printer and consumables. Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table. When installing the printer, carefully observe the location requirements described in this guide. The shaded part of the face-up delivery area may be hot. Be careful not to touch it. CAUTION! HOT SURFACE AVOID CONTACT ACHTUNG! HEISS PRECAUCION!/ATTENZIONE! ALTA TEMPERATURA ATTEMTION! TEMPERATURE ELEVEE Do not expose the printer to a wet environment. Do not expose the printer directly to a chemical environment (experimental laboratories, etc.). The exterior of the printer is made of plastic, and the outside covering might fade, become deformed, or melt. Do not install the printer where it will be exposed to smoke or steam. Be sure to connect the printer to a grounded outlet. Do not operate the printer until all packing materials (packing tape, spacers, and styrofoam molds) have been removed. vii 100­127 V model only: This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug, a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. As a safety feature, this plug fits only into a grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug. 220­240 V model only: A certified power supply cord is to be used with this equipment. For a rated current up to 6 A, a type not lighter than H05VV-F 3G 0.75 mm 2 or H05VVH2-F 3G 0.75 mm2 shall be used. Be sure to turn off the power before unplugging or plugging in the printer power cord or interface cable. When moving the printer, be sure to turn off the power before unplugging the power cord. Be sure to unravel the power cord prior to plugging it in; otherwise it may lead to damage, overheating, short-circuit, or result in fire. Be sure to plug the power cord firmly into the power outlet, as any flammable material caught between an opening might result in fire. Avoid using an extension cord. If you must use an extension cord, be sure to take the following precautions. Failure to do this might lead to overheating, result in fire, or cause flickering due to a drop in voltage. · Be sure not to exceed the allowed rating current of the extension cord. · Use a short extension cord. Do not connect several extension cords together. · Make sure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the printer and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the printer on a bed, sofa, shag rug, or other similar surface. viii The printer should never be placed near or over a radiator, heat register, or flame. It should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided. Ventilation slots Before connecting the printer to a power source, check the voltage rating label at the back of the printer to ensure that the printer voltage matches that of the power source. The voltage rating label is located on the rear side of the printer. If the voltage label is missing, contact your nearest authorized dealer or the place of purchase. The power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, the power socket, and the point where the cord exits the unit. Keep the power cord and cables away from children. Do not handle plugs with wet hands. When the printer will not be used for a long period, turn the power off and unplug the power cord for safety. Unplug the printer from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not spray liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly on the cabinet or the openings, as the spray could penetrate inside the printer and contaminate internal parts. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never push objects of any kind into the printer through openings in the enclosure, as the objects might touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts. This could result in a fire or electrical shock. Never spill liquid of any kind into the printer. Unplug the printer and request servicing from qualified service personnel in the following situations: · When the power cord or plug is damaged or becomes frayed. · If liquid is spilled into the printer. · If the printer is exposed to water. ix · If the printer does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, since improper adjustment of other controls may damage the printer and may require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation. · If the printer is dropped or the cabinet is damaged. · If the printer exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for servicing. · If the printer produces smoke, odor, or excessive noise. The outlet should always be free from any obstacles so as to allow easy access. When unplugging the printer, always disconnect the power cord by pulling on the plug, not the cord itself. Any misu ...
