    							Caution
    This printer utilizes a laser. Use of controls or
    adjustments or performance of procedures other
    than those specified herein may result in
    hazardous radiation exposure.
    Warning
    Make sure that the printer is installed in a well
    ventilated room so as not to increase density of
    ozone in the air. Since ozone is heavier than air, it
    is recommended that air at floor level be ventilated.
    The printer weighs approximately 49.2 k
    g{108.4
    lbs.}. It must be handled by two people. Turn the
    power off and remove the power cord when
    handling the unit.

    Warning
    BThe power source voltage of this unit is listed on
    the nameplate. Only plug the unit into an outlet
    with the proper voltage.
    BWhen you operate this equipment, the outlet

    BTo ensure safe operation the AC cord supplied
    must be inserted into standard three-prong AC
    outlet which is effectively grounded (earthed)
    through the normal wiring.
    BThe fact that the equipment operates
    satisfactorily does not imply that the power point
    is grounded (earthed) and that the installation is
    completely safe. For your safety, if in any doubt
    about the effective grounding (earthing) of the
    power point, consult a qualified electrician.
    BIf the plug cannot be inserted into the AC outlet,
    contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet
    with a properly grounded (earthed) one. 
    BDo not defeat the purpose of the grounding
    (earthing) plug (ex. do not use a conversion
    plug).
