Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include
safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards. Your
attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe operation of your
printer.
Operational Guidelines
• Do not remove the paper source tray that you selected in either the printer driver or the control
panel, when the printer is printing.
• Do not open the doors when the printer is printing.
• Do not move the printer when it is printing.
• Keep hands, hair, neckties, etc., away from the exit and feed rollers.
Ozone Release
During print operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not large enough to harm
anyone adversely. However, be sure the room where the printer is being used has adequate ventilation,
especially if you are printing a high volume of materials, or if the printer is being used continuously
over a long period.
Printer Location
• Do not block or cover the slots or openings on the printer. These openings are provided for
ventilation and to prevent overheating of the printer.
• Place the printer in a dust-free area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing. For
details, see Choosing a Location for the Printer on page 31.
• Do not store or operate the printer in an extremely hot, cold, or humid environment. For
specifications on optimum performance environment, see Environmental Specifications on
page 155.
• Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight
of the printer. The base printer weight without any packaging materials is approximately 18.4 kg
(40.57 lb.).
• Do not place the printer near a heat source.
• Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.
• Do not place the printer where it is directly exposed to the cold air flow from an air conditioning
unit.
• Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.
• For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 3,000 m (11,480 ft.).
