Attention (Printer Installation)

IMPORTANT
Protecting the printer from condensation
To prevent condensation from forming inside the printer in the following cases, adjust the printer to the ambient temperature and humidity for at least two hours before use.
When the room where the printer is installed is heated rapidly
When the printer is moved from a cool or dry location to a hot or humid location
If water droplets (condensation) form inside the printer, this can result in paper jams or poor print quality.
When using an ultrasonic humidifier
When you are using an ultrasonic humidifier, we therefore recommend that you use purified water or other water that is free of impurities.
If you use tap water or well water, impurities in the water will be dispersed through the air. This can be trapped inside the printer, causing degradation in print quality.
Precautions for the power supply
Use an AC power outlet exclusively for the printer. Do not use the other sockets of the AC power outlet.
Do not plug the power plug into the auxiliary outlet on a computer.
Do not use the same AC power outlet for both the printer and any of the following equipment.
Copy machine
Air conditioner
Shredder
Equipment that consumes a large amount of electricity
Equipment that generates electrical noise
The following is the maximum power consumption of the printer.
120 to 127 V: 1,120 W or less
220 to 240 V: 1,140 W or less
Electrical noise or a dramatic drop in mains voltage may cause the printer or computer to operate incorrectly or lose data.
Do not install the printer in the following locations, as this may result in damage to the printer.
A location subject to dramatic changes in temperature or humidity
A location subject to condensation
A poorly ventilated location
(If you use the printer for a long time or to perform a large amount of printing in a poorly ventilated room, the ozone or other odors generated by the printer may create an uncomfortable working environment. In addition, chemical particles are dispersed during printing. Therefore, it is important to provide adequate ventilation.)
A location near equipment that generates magnetic or electromagnetic waves
A laboratory or location where chemical reactions occur
A location exposed to salt air, corrosive gases, or toxic gases
A location, such as on a carpet or mat, that may warp from the weight of the printer or where the printer is liable to sink
Precautions when preparing the toner cartridge
Precautions when connecting the power cord
Do not plug the power plug of the printer into an auxiliary outlet on a computer.
One AC power outlet should be used exclusively for the printer.
Do not connect this printer to an uninterruptible power source.
This may cause printer malfunction or breakdown in the event of a power failure.
When turning ON the printer for the first time after the printer installation
Before turning ON the printer, be sure to insert the paper cassette in the printer.
Although a sheet of blank paper may be output, this is not an error.
Precautions when installing the paper feeder
Do not touch the connector (A) on the paper feeder. This may result in damage to the printer or misfeeds.
If you cannot place the printer on the paper feeder properly, lift the printer once, hold it horizontally, and place it again.
If you try to place the printer forcefully without lifting it, the connector and positioning pins may be broken.
Be sure to turn the printer ON once when loading paper in the paper cassette for the first time after installing the paper feeder.
NOTE
About the toner cartridge included with this printer
The average yield of the included toner cartridge is 2,100 pages.
The average yield is on the basis of "ISO/IEC 19752"* when printing A4 paper with the default print density setting.
*
"ISO/IEC 19752" is the global standard related to "Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that contain printer components" issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
For purchasing replacement toner cartridges, see "Consumables."
