of the printer.
●
During an electrical (thunder/lightning) storm.
●

●
Inks used in the printer and liquids in the HP Cleaning kits contain an organic solvent (ethylene glycol
monobutyl ether acetate, CAS No. 112-07-2). Observe all local, state, and federal regulations related
to the handling, use, storage, and disposal of organic solvents.
●
Ink and fluids used in the Cleaning Kits are combustible. Do not use or store within 8 meters (25 feet)
of open flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
●
Do not operate printer within 8 meters (25 feet) of open flames, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
Do not smoke within 8 meters (25 feet) of the printer.
●
Install and operate the printer in a well-ventilated area.
●
The printer installation must meet local, state, and federal regulations on the emissions of volatile
organic compounds in the workplace. It is the responsibility of the user to comply with these
regulations. HP recommends that installations use an ink vapor extraction and exhaust system or an
HP Air Purification System. Before installing a system exhausting ink vapors to the outside
atmosphere, consult with your local air quality control authorities. It is your responsibility to comply
with all local, state, and federal air pollution control regulations and building codes.
●
Avoid contact between ink and skin, eyes, and clothing.
●
Immediately wash skin with soapy water.
●
Remove clothing soaked with ink from contact with skin.
●
Use an approved eye wash station if ink is splashed into eyes and consult a doctor if necessary.
If an approved eye wash station is unavailable, flush eyes with cold water and consult a doctor
if necessary.
●
Do not swallow ink. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting, but seek immediate medical attention.
●
Keep ink cartridges, cleaning kits, and waste ink bottles out of the reach of children.
●
Be sure all operators are trained in the use of emergency equipment such as eye wash stations and
fire extinguishers and know where they are located.
General cautions
●
Handle media rolls with care. They can be heavy and difficult to move in confined spaces. In some
cases, two people should move and install media rolls. Dropping a media roll could cause personal
injury or damage to the printer.
●
Allow and maintain adequate space around printer for immediate access to safety equipment such
as eye wash stations, fire extinguishers, glove and safety glass dispensers, and fireproof waste
storage containers.
●
Treat any media, used cleaning and maintenance supplies, and wipes soaked with ink as combustible
materials. Handle and dispose of properly.
