    							Safety information
    Connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet that is near the product and easily accessible.
    Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.
    CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: This product uses a laser. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
    procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
    This product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and the heat may cause the media to release emissions.
    You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting print media
    to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions.
    Use care when you replace a lithium battery.
    CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: There is a danger of explosion if a lithium battery is incorrectly replaced.
    Replace it only with the same or an equivalent type of lithium battery. Do not recharge, disassemble, or
    incinerate a lithium battery. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions and local
    regulations.
    CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot
    component, allow the surface to cool before touching.
    CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more
    trained personnel to move it safely.
    CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY:  Before moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury or
    printer damage:
    •Turn the printer off using the power switch, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer before moving it.
    Lift the printer off the optional drawer, and set it aside instead of trying to lift the drawer and printer at the same
    time.
    Note: Use the handholds located on both sides and rear of the printer to lift it off the optional drawer.
    Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturers authorized replacement.
    CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory
    devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the
    wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well,
    and unplug any cables going into the printer.
    CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure that all external connections (such as Ethernet and telephone system
    connections) are properly installed in their marked plug-in ports.
    This product is designed, tested, and approved to meet strict global safety standards with the use of specific
    manufacturers components. The safety features of some parts may not always be obvious. The manufacturer is not
    responsible for the use of other replacement parts.
    CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY:  Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not
    subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between objects such as furniture
    and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect the power cord regularly
    for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet before inspecting it.
    Refer service or repairs, other than those described in the user documentation, to a professional service person. Safety information5

    option, or more than one input option. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and
    faxes, you may need additional furniture. For more information, see www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.
