Notices and safety information

The following laser notice labels may be affixed to this printer.

Laser notice

The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 60825-1.

Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 7 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region of 655-675 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.

Laser

Der Drucker erfüllt gemäß amtlicher Bestätigung der USA die Anforderungen der Bestimmung DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services) 21 CFR Teil J für Laserprodukte der Klasse I (1). In anderen Ländern gilt der Drucker als Laserprodukt der Klasse I, der die Anforderungen der IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) 60825-1 gemäß amtlicher Bestätigung erfüllt.

Laserprodukte der Klasse I gelten als unschädlich. Im Inneren des Druckers befindet sich ein Laser der Klasse IIIb (3b), bei dem es sich um einen Galliumarsenlaser mit 7 Milliwatt handelt, der Wellen der Länge 655-675 Nanometer ausstrahlt. Das Lasersystem und der Drucker sind so konzipiert, daß im Normalbetrieb, bei der Wartung durch den Benutzer oder bei ordnungsgemäßer Wartung durch den Kundendienst Laserbestrahlung, die Klasse I übersteigen würde, Menschen keinesfalls erreicht.

Avis relatif à l’utilisation de laser

General information 1-7

Most paper jams can be avoided by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer.

The following hints can help prevent paper jams:

•Use only the recommended print media.

•Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the stack line on the labels in the sources.

•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.

•Flex, fan, and straighten print media before loading it. If jams do occur with the print media, then try feeding one sheet at a time through the manual feeder.

•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.

•Push all trays in firmly after loading them.

Note: Make sure the media stack is below the maximum media fill indicators on the 250-sheet tray before pushing the tray into the printer.

•Make sure paper guides are positioned before loading the paper or specialty media.

•Do not remove trays while a job is printing.

•Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.

•Do not use envelopes that:

–Have excessive curl

–Are stuck together

–Are damaged in any way

–Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments

–Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars

–Have postage stamps attached

–Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position

•Use only recommended media. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Dell Web site at www.dell.com for more information about which media provides optimum results for the current printing environment.

Tools

The removal and adjustment procedures require the following tools and equipment:

•Spring hook

•Needle nose pliers

•Volt-ohmmeter

•#1 and #2 Phillips screwdriver

•Slotted screwdriver
