Safety Instructions
Safety
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Warnings
w
must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
Cautions
c
must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
Notes
contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your printer.
Safety precautions
Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe and efficient operation:
❏ Because the printer weighs approximately 60 kg (132 lb) with consumable products installed, one
person should not lift or carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the correct
positions as shown below.
Safety Instructions 14
EPSON AcuLaser C9200 Series User's Guide
❏ Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE, 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.
*
*CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE
❏ 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.
❏ 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 15
EPSON AcuLaser C9200 Series User's Guide
❏ When removing the photoconductor unit, do not expose it to sunlight at all and avoid exposing
it to room light for more than five minutes. The photoconductor unit contains a light-sensitive
drum. Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on the printed
page and reducing the service life of the drum. If you need to keep the photoconductor unit out
of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth.
❏ 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 or photoconductor unit 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.
❏ 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
Read all of the following instructions before operating your printer:
When choosing a place and power source for the printer
❏ Place the printer near an electrical outlet where you can easily plug in and unplug the power cord.
❏ Do not place the printer on an unstable surface.
❏ Do not put your printer where the cord will be stepped on.
❏ Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. Do not
block or cover them. Do not put the printer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface or in a
built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
❏ All interface connectors for this printer are Non-LPS (non-limited power source).
❏ Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.
❏ Connect your printer to an electrical outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer.
Your printer’s power requirements are indicated on a label attached to the printer. If you are not
sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult
your dealer.
Safety Instructions 16
EPSON AcuLaser C9200 Series User's Guide
❏ If you are unable to insert the AC plug into the electrical outlet, contact an electrician.
❏ Use the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power
available, consult your dealer or local power company.
❏ When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
❏ If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
❏ Unplug this printer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to a qualified service representative
under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into it.
C. If it has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If it does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to normal operation.
E. If it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
When using the printer
❏ The printer weighs about 60 kg (132 lb). One person should not attempt to lift or carry the printer.
Two people should carry it.
❏ Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
❏ Unplug this printer from the wall outlet before cleaning.
❏ Use a well-wrung cloth for cleaning and do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
❏ Do not use printer in a damp environment.
❏ Never push objects of any kind through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Safety Instructions 17
EPSON AcuLaser C9200 Series User's Guide
❏ Never spill liquid of any kind on the printer.
❏ Except as specifically explained in the printer’s documentation, do not attempt to service this
product yourself.
❏ Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and may require repair by a qualified service
representative.
Safety Information
Power cord
Caution:
c
❏ 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.
❏ If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there
are fuses in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
Laser safety labels
Warning:
w
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.
Safety Instructions 18
EPSON AcuLaser C9200 Series User's Guide
Internal laser radiation
There is a Class III b Laser Diode Assembly that has an invisible laser beam inside the printer head
unit. 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.
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 Epson laser printer generates less than 3 mg/h 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
