• For safety reason, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet if the machine will not be used for
an extended period of time such as holidays.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet before you move the machine. While moving the

Handling the main machine
This section explains safety precautions about handling the main machine.
• Turn off the power and disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if any of the
following occurs:
• You spill something into the machine.
• You suspect that your machine needs service or repair.
• The external housing of your machine has been damaged.
• Protect the machine from dampness or wet weather, such as rain and snow.
• If you have to move the machine when the optional paper tray unit is attached, do not push on
the main unit's top section. Doing so can cause the optional paper tray unit to detach, possibly
resulting in injury..
• After you move the machine, use the caster fixture to fix it in place. Otherwise the machine might
move or come down to cause an injury.
• Contact your service representative if you need to lift the machine (such as when relocating it to
another floor). Do not attempt to lift the machine without the assistance of your service
representative. The machine will be damaged if it topples or is dropped, resulting in malfunction
and risk of injury to users. The machine's various handling areas are for service engineer use only.
Do not touch these areas.
