Do not use power cords that are damaged, broken, or modified. Also, •
do not use power cords that have been trapped under heavy objects,
pulled hard, or bent severely. Doing so could result in fire or electric
shock.
Be sure to disconnect the plug from the wall outlet at least once a •
year.
There are burn marks on the plug.•
The prongs on the plug are deformed.•
If any of the above conditions exist, do not use the plug and consult
your dealer or service representative. Use of the plug could result in
fire or electric shock.
Touching the prongs of the power cable’s plug with anything metallic •
constitutes a fire and electric shock hazard.

When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new •
or used) on your clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing,
wash the stained area with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the
fabric and make removing the stain impossible.
When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new •
or used) on your skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the
affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or •
any kind of conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.
Our products are engineered to meet high standards of quality and func-•
tionality, and we recommend that you use only the expendable supplies
