Operator Safety: This machine is considered a class 1 laser device, safe for office/ EDP use. The machine contains a 5milliwat, 760 - 800 nanometer wavelength, GaAIAs laser diode. Direct (or indirect reflected) eye contact with the laser beam might cause serious eye damage. Safety precautions and interlock mechanisms have been designed to prevent any possible laser beam exposure to the operator. The following label is attached on the back side of the machine. Laser Safety: The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required. Warning: Use of controls or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual might result in hazardous radiation exposure. Notes: Two kinds of size notation are employed in this manual. With this machine refer to the metric version. For good copy quality, Ricoh recommends that you use genuine Ricoh toner.

R CAUTION: Ignoring this caution could cause injury or damage to property. Examples Of Indications Symbols R mean a situation that requires you take care. Symbols v mean "Hot surface". Do NOT carry out the operation represented by this symbol m. This example means "Do not take apart". Symbols $ mean you MUST perform this operation. This example means "You must remove the wall plug". i R WARNING: · Only connect the machine to the power source described on the inside front cover of this manual. · Avoid multi-wiring. · Do not damage, break or make any modifications to the power cord. Do not place heavy objects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than necessary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire. · Do not plug or unplug the power cord with your hands wet. Otherwise, an electric shock might occur. · Make sure the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible so that in event of an emergency it can be unplugged easily. · Do not remove any covers or screws other than those specified in this manual. Some parts of the machine are at a high voltage and could give you an electric shock. Also, if the machine has laser systems, direct (or indirect) reflected eye contact with the laser beam may cause serious eye damage. When the machine needs to be checked, adjusted, or repaired, contact your service representative. · Do not take apart or attempt any modifications to this machine. There is a risk of fire, electric shock, explosion or loss of sight. If the machine has laser systems, there is a risk of serious eye damage. · If the machine looks damaged or breaks down, smoke is coming out, there is a strange smell or anything looks unusual, immediately turn off the operation and main power switches then unplug the power cord from the wall. Do not continue using the machine in this condition. Contact your service representative. · If metal, liquid or foreign matter falls into the machine, turn off the operation and main power switches, and unplug the main power cord. Contact your service representative. Do not keep using the machine with a fault or defect. · Do not put any metal objects or containers holding water (e.g. vases, flowerpots, glasses) on the machine. If the contents fall inside the machine, a fire or electric shock could occur. ii · Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of the used toner containers according to local regulations for plastics. iii R CAUTION: · Keep the machine away from humidity and dust. A fire or an electric shock might occur. · Do not place the machine on an unstable or tilted surface. If it topples over, it could cause injury. · After you move the machine, fix it with the caster fixture.
