About Maintenance
The minimum holding period for performance parts for repairs, toner cartridges and the drum unit is seven (7) years after production of the machine model is discontinued.
If a problem occurs during operation, see the following:
If the problem still cannot be resolved or you think the machine needs to be checked, contact your dealer or service representative.
If the Problem PersistsInstallation
If you find the machine's operation to be noisy in some operating modes or due to your surroundings, we recommend setting up the machine in a separate location from your office.
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the machine if the room where the machine is installed is heated rapidly, or if the machine is moved from a cool, dry location to a warm, humid location. Using the machine under these conditions may result in problems such as paper jams, poor print quality, or faults. Let the machine adjust to the ambient temperature and humidity for at least two hours before use.
Machines with storage devices such as hard disks may not operate properly when used at high altitudes (3,000 meters (3,280 yards) above sea level or higher).
