Safety precautions
Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation:
Be sure to lift the printer by the correct positions as shown below.
Safety Instructions 12
Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION HOT SURFACE or the surrounding areas. If the printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot. If you must touch one of these areas, wait 30 minutes to allow the heat to subside before doing so.
1.CAUTION HOT SURFACE
2.Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit.
Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause injury.
Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.
Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.
When handling a toner cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.
Do not attempt to modify a toner cartridge or take it apart. It cannot be refilled.
Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes.
Do not dispose of used toner cartridge or photoconductor unit in fire, as they can explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation.
Safety Instructions 13
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
To get the best print quality, do not store the toner cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
To get the best print quality, when you temporarily remove the toner cartridge, the developer unit, and the photoconductor unit from the printer, do not expose them to room light any longer than necessary.
Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of children.
Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause the printer to overheat.
Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.
Important Safety Instructions

Safety Information
Power cord
cCaution:
Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards.
Use only the power cord that comes with this product. Use of the another cord may result in fire or electric shock.
This product’s power cord is for use with this product only. Use with other equipment may result in fire or electric shock.

Laser safety labels
wWarning:
The performance of procedures and adjustments other than those specified in the printer’s documentation may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Your printer is a Class 1 laser product as defined in the IEC60825 specifications. The label shown is attached to the back of the printer in countries where required.
Internal laser radiation
Max. Average Radiation Power: |
10 mW at laser aperture |
Wavelength: |
775 to 800 nm |
This is a Class III b Laser Diode Assembly that has an invisible laser beam. The printer head unit is NOT A SERVICE ITEM, therefore, the printer head unit should not be opened under any circumstances. An additional laser warning label is affixed to the inside of the printer.
Safety Instructions 16
Ozone safety
Ozone emission
Ozone gas is generated by laser printers as a by-product of the printing process. Ozone is produced only when the printer is printing.
Ozone exposure limit
The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 parts per million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted concentration over an eight (8) hour period.
The Epson laser printer generates less than 0.1 ppm for eight (8) hours of continuous printing.
Minimize the risk
To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the following conditions:
Use of multiple laser printers in a confined area
Operation in conditions of extremely low humidity
Poor room ventilation
Long, continuous printing together with any of the above
Printer location
The printer should be located so that the exhaust gases and heat generated are:
Not blown directly into the user’s face
Vented directly out of the building whenever possible
Power On/Off Cautions
Do not turn off the printer:
While the Ready light is flashing.
While the Data light is on or flashing.
While printing.
