Dos and Don'ts

WARNING

  • Do not place vases, plant pots, cups, toiletries, medicines, small metal objects, or containers holding water or any other liquids, on or close to this machine. Fire or electric shock could result from spillage or if such objects or substances fall inside this machine.

  • Do not use flammable sprays or solvents in the vicinity of this machine. Also, avoid placing these items in the vicinity of this machine. Doing so could result in fire or electric shock.

CAUTION

  • Do not obstruct the machine's vents. Doing so risks fire caused by overheated internal components.

  • When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the cord. Pulling the cord can damage the power cord. Use of damaged power cords could result in fire or electric shock.

Important

  • Before unplugging the power cord or turning off the main power switch, make sure remaining memory space is at 100%, as shown on the fax screen. See Turning off the main power.

  • After scanning originals continuously, the exposure glass may become warm - this is not a malfunction.

  • The area around the vents might feel warm. This is caused by exhaust air and is not a malfunction.

  • If the machine is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may form inside it. After moving the machine, do not use it for at least two hours. The machine requires this time to adapt to its new environment.

  • Do not turn off the power while the machine is in operation.

  • Do not open the covers of the machine when it is in operation. If you do, misfeeds might occur.

  • Do not move or tilt the machine when the power is on.

  • Do not knock the machine while it is operating (for instance, do not use the machine's surfaces to knock stacks of paper into square).

  • Depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, steam may come from the vents behind the control panel during printing. This is water vapor from the paper, not a sign of malfunction.

  • The optional anti-humidity heaters warm the machine's interior to maintain the proper humidity. The heaters keep the machine warm even if the main power switch is turned off.

Ventilation

When you use this machine in a confined space without good ventilation for a long time or print large quantities, you might detect an odd smell.

This might cause the output paper to also have an odd smell.

When you detect an odd smell, regularly ventilate in order to keep the workplace comfortable.

  • Set up the machine so that it does not directly ventilate towards people.

  • Ventilation should be more than 30 m3/hr/person.

New machine smell

When a machine is new, it might have a unique smell. This smell will subside in about one week.

When you detect an odd smell, sufficiently ventilate and circulate the air in the room.
