(3) Do not overload the power socket, this could lead to overheating of the cables inside the wall and could lead to a fire. (4) Do not allow water or other liquids to spill into the printer, this can cause electric shock. Do not allow paper clips, pins or other foreign objects to fall into the printer these could cause a short circuit leading to an electric shock or fire hazard.. (5) Never touch the plugs on either end of the power cable with wet hands, this can cause electric shock. When servicing the printer remove the power plug from the wall socket. (6) Use caution when inserting or removing the power connector. The power connector must be inserted completely otherwise a poor contact could cause overheating possibly leading to a fire. When removing the power connector grip it firmly and pull. (7) Take care of the power cable. Do not allow it to become twisted, bent sharply round corners or other wise damaged. Do not place objects on top of the power cable. If the power cable is damaged it could overheat and cause a fire or exposed cables could cause an electric shock. Replace a damaged power cable immediately, do not reuse or repair the damaged cable. Some chemicals can attack the coating on the power cable, weakening the cover or exposing cables causing fire and shock risks. (8) Ensure that the power sockets and plugs are not cracked or broken in any way. Any such defects should be repaired immediately. Take care not to cut or damage the power cable or plugs when moving the machine. (9) Use caution during thunder or lightening storms. Samsung recommend that this machine be disconnected from the power source when such weather conditions are expected. Do not touch the machine or the power cord if it is still connected to the wall socket in these weather conditions. (10) Avoid damp or dusty areas, install the printer in a clean well ventilated location. Do not position the machine near a humidifier. Damp and dust build up inside the machine can lead to overheating and cause a fire. (11) Do not position the printer in direct sunlight. This will cause the temperature inside the printer to rise possibly leading to the printer failing to work properly and in extreme conditions could lead to a fire. (12) Do not insert any metal objects into the machine through the ventilator fan or other part of the casing, it could make contact with a high voltage conductor inside the machine and cause an electric shock.

Precautions

1.2.3 Handling Precautions
The following instructions are for your own personal safety, to avoid injury and so as not to damage the printer (1) Ensure the printer is installed on a level surface, capable of supporting its weight. Failure to do so could cause the printer to tip or fall. (2) The printer contains many rollers, gears and fans. Take great care to ensure that you do not catch your fingers, hair or clothing in any of these rotating devices. (3) Do not place any small metal objects, containers of water, chemicals or other liquids close to the printer which if spilled could get into the machine and cause damage or a shock or fire hazard. (4) Do not install the machine in areas with high dust or moisture levels, beside on open window or close to a humidifier or heater. Damage could be caused to the printer in such areas. (5) Do not place candles, burning cigarettes, etc on the printer, These could cause a fire.

1.2.4 Assembly / Disassembly Precautions
Replace parts carefully, always use Samsung parts. Take care to note the exact location of parts and also cable routing before dismantling any part of the machine. Ensure all parts and cables are replaced correctly. Please carry out the following procedures before dismantling the printer or replacing any parts. (1) Check the contents of the machine memory and make a note of any user settings. These will be erased if the mainboard or network card is replaced. (2) Ensure that power is disconnected before servicing or replacing any electrical parts. (3) Disconnect printer interface cables and power cables. (4) Only use approved spare parts. Ensure that part number, product name, any voltage, current or temperature rating are correct. (5) When removing or re-fitting any parts do not use excessive force, especially when fitting screws into plastic. (6) Take care not to drop any small parts into the machine. (7) Handling of the OPC Drum - The OPC Drum Unit can be irreparably damaged if it is exposed to light. Take care not to expose the OPC drum either to direct sunlight or to fluorescent or incandescent room lighting. Exposure for as little as 5 mins can damage the surface's photoconductive properties and will result in print quality degradation. Take extra care when servicing the printer. Remove the OPC drum and store it in a black bag or other lightproof container. Take care when working with the covers (especially the top cover) open as light is admitted to the OPC area and can damage the OPC drum. - Take care not to scratch the green surface of OPC Drum Unit. If the green surface of the Drum Cartridge is scratched or touched the print quality will be compromised.

Precautions

1.3 ESD Precautions
Certain semiconductor devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly called "Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices", or ESDs. Examples of typical ESDs are: integrated circuits, some field effect transistors, and semiconductor "chip" components. The techniques outlined below should be followed to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by static electricity.

Caution >>Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.

1. Immediately before handling a semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, employ a commercially available wrist strap device, which should be removed for your personal safety reasons prior to applying power to the unit under test. 2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESDs, place the assembly on a conductive surface, such as aluminum or copper foil, or conductive foam, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup in the vicinity of the assembly. 3. Use only a grounded tip soldering iron to solder or desolder ESDs. 4. Use only an "anti-static" solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as "anti-static" can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs. 5. Do not use Freon-propelled chemicals. When sprayed, these can generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs. 6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective packaging until immediately before installing it. Most replacement ESDs are packaged with all leads shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil, or a comparable conductive material. 7. Immediately before removing the protective shorting material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed. 8. Maintain continuous electrical contact between the ESD and the assembly into which it will be installed, until completely plugged or soldered into the circuit. 9. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Normal motions, such as the brushing together of clothing fabric and lifting one's foot from a carpeted floor, can generate static electricity sufficient to damage an ESD.
