Laser Printer Precautions This printer uses laser technology. The following list of precautions applies whenever you open the printer cover. Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to follow these precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation. Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked by a CAUTION HOT SURFACE label. If you have been using the printer, the fuser can be very hot. Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide. Protect the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light. Avoid exposing the imaging cartridge to room light any longer than necessary. Do not open the drum's protective cover. Overexposing the drum may cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reduce the service life of the drum. If you must expose the drum either by taking the imaging cartridge out of the printer or by leaving the printer cover open, cover the drum with a soft cloth or sheet of paper. Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the imaging cartridge from the printer, always set the cartridge on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its surface and may affect print quality. Avoid pressing on the top of the toner cartridge. Pressing directly on the cartridge may cause toner to spill into the printer. If there is a spill, see Chapter 5 for cleaning instructions. Never force the printer's components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it. Laser Printer Precautions 7
