❏ Except as specifically explained in the printer’s documentation, do not attempt to service this product yourself. ❏ Periodically disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet and clean the blades. ❏ Do not disconnect the plug while the printer is on. ❏ If the printer will not be used for a long time, disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet. ❏ Unplug this printer from the wall outlet before cleaning. ❏ Use a well-wrung cloth for cleaning and do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Handling the Consumable Products and Maintenance Parts ❏ Do not burn used consumable products and maintenance parts because they might explode and injure someone.
Dispose of them according to local regulations. ❏ Be sure to keep consumable products and maintenance parts out of the reach of children. ❏ When handling a toner cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. ❏ Do not attempt to modify or take it apart consumable products and maintenance parts. ❏ Do not touch the toner. Always keep toner away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately. ❏ If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
❏ Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge or photoconductor after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation. ❏ To get the best print quality, do not store the toner cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity. ❏ When removing the photoconductor unit, do not expose it to sunlight at all and avoid exposing it to room light for more than 3 minutes. The photoconductor unit contains a light-sensitive drum.
Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If you need to keep the photoconductor unit out of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth. ❏ Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality. ❏ Do not touch the transfer roller to avoid damaging it. ❏ Do not let the paper’s edge slide across your skin because the edge of the paper may cut you. 16
