GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS

3. Safety Information

Inorder to prevent accidentsfrom occurring while maintenanceis being carried out,all warnings and precautionsshould

be strictly observed while working. Never attempt any kind of dangerous work when servicing this machine.

The precautions noted below are only a few of the situations which could foreseeably occur during maintenance

operations. Please make sure every safety precaution is observed while working.

3-1. Power Supply

In order to prevent electrical shock, burns, damage to the equipment, and other problems, always make sure the power

supply is turned off and the power supply cable has been unplugged before maintenance work is carried out.

If the power must be left on in order to measure voltage or for other reasons, make sure sufficient precautions are taken

to prevent electrical shock, and follow the procedures noted in this manual.

3-2. Drive Parts

Inspection of drive section parts such as sprockets and gears should be carried out using a hand crank.

DANGER: Never inspect these parts while the equipment is in operation!

3-3. Safety Devices

Thorough consideration should be given to safety devices designed to prevent accidents (fuses, interlock switches, etc.)

as well as those handled by the user in the course of operating the equipment (covers, panels, etc.), in order to make sure

they fulfill their function as safety equipment.

DANGER: Inordertopreventexposuretothelaserbeamcontainedintheprinter,thefollowingprecautionsmustalways

be strictly observed.

Exposure to the laser beam can result in blindness.

•Never open cover (ROS assembly) that has the label of figure 1-2.

•When disassembling and adjusting the equipment, always make sure the power supply has been turned

off first.

•This equipment is provided with a two-stage safety switch function, so that it can be operated even with

the covers removed, by pressing the interlock switch. When using this method of operation, never short

the other switch at the same time (the second switch is pressed when the actuator at the back of the EPX

toner cartridge attachment section is pressed).

•When servicing the optical system of the printer, be careful not to place screwdrivers or other reflective

objects in the path of the laser beam.

Besuretotakeoffaccessories,suchaswatchesandrings,beforeworkingontheprinter.Areflectedbeam,

though invisible, can permanently damage your eyes.

Because the laser beam is invisible, be especially careful when servicing the optical system.
