Warning • Confirm that the wall outlet is near the machine and freely accessible, so that in event of an emergency, it can be unplugged easily. • Only connect the machine to the power source described on this sheet. • Avoid multi-wiring. • Do not damage, break or make any modifica- tions to the power cord. Do not place heavy ob- jects on it, pull it hard or bend it more than nec- essary. These actions could cause an electric shock or fire. • Enclosed set of power cord is only for the use with this product and should not be used with any other electronic equipment or appliances. Do not use any other power cord with this prod- uct. They could cause electric shock or fire. Caution • Do not handle the plug with wet hands. Doing so might cause an electrical shock. • Keep the machine in an area that is within opti- mum environmental conditions. Operating the machine in an environment that is outside the recommended ranges of humidity and tempera- ture can cause an electrical fire hazard. Keep the area around the socket free of dust. Accu- mulated dustcan become an electrical fire haz- ard. • Place the machine on a strong and level sur- face. Otherwise, it might fall and injure some- one. • If you use the machine in a confined space, ensure there is continuous air circulation. Optimum Environmental Conditions Permissible and recommended temperature and humidity ranges are as follows: Permissible Range Recommended range The machine must be level within 5 mm, 0.2" both front to rear and left to right. Environments to Avoid Important ❒Areas exposed to direct sunlight or strong light ❒Dusty areas ❒Areas with corrosive gases ❒Areas that are excessively cold, hot, or humid ❒Locations near an air conditioner or humidifier ❒Locations near other electronic equipment ❒Locations subject to frequent strong vibration Power Source Connect the power cord to a power source with the follow- ing specifications: ❒220-240V, 50/60Hz, 4.5A or more Space Required for Installing Leave enough space around the printer. This space is neces- sary to operate the printer. The recommended (or minimum) space requirement is as follows: ZKGH010E A: 10 cm (4 inches) or more B: 10 cm (4 inches) or more C: 100 cm (39.4 inches) or more D: 10 cm (4 inches) or more Note ❒To avoid possible build-up of ozone, locate this machine in a large well ventilated room that has an air turnover of more than 30 m3 /hr/person. ❒When you use this machine for a long time in a confined space without good ventilation, you may detect an odd smell. To keep the workplace comfortable, we recommend you keep it well ventilated. INSTALLING THE TONER CARTRIDGE Warning • Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to an open flame. • Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site. • If you dispose of the used toner cartridges your- self, dispose of them according to local regula- tions. • Do not store toner, used toner, or toner contain- ers in a place with an open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire. Caution • Keep toner (used or unused) and the toner car- tridge out of reach of children. • If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary. • If your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. • If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Con- sult a doctor if necessary. • If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drink- ing a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary. • Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the af- fected area thoroughly with soap and water. • If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold wa- ter. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible. • Our products are engineered to meet the highest standards of quality and functionality. When pur- chasing expendable supplies, we recommend using only those provided by an authorized dealer. Important ❒Do not expose the toner cartridge to a light for a long time. If you do, the toner cartridge will be damaged and the print quality might be reduced. Open the front cover by pushing the front cover release button. ZKGH126E Remove the fixing material inserted between toner cartridge and the printer. ZKGT146E Lift the front side of the toner cartridge, and then pull it out of the printer. ZKGT115E Note ❒Do not hold the toner cartridge upside down or stand it vertically. ❒Do not put the toner cartridge on an unstable or tilted surface. Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface. Pull out the tape inside the unit horizontally while holding the cartridge with one hand as shown in the illustration. ZKGT155E Important ❒Be sure to remove the tape completely before installing the toner cartridge. Otherwise, the printer might be damaged. ❒If you pull out the strips when the toner cartridge is slant or standing on its side, the cartridge might cause trouble with the printer. ❒Be sure to pull the tape horizontally. Pulling it upward or downward may cause the toner to scatter. ❒After pulling the tape out of the cartridge, toner scatters easily. Do not shake the cartridge. Hold the grips of the toner cartridge, and then insert it into the printer until it stops. ZKGT121E Lower the toner cartridge when it touches the back.
