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 recommend ed expo sure lim it for ozone is 0.1 parts per million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted concentration over an eight (8) hour period.

The EPL-5700 laser printer generates <0.01ppm for 8 hours of continuous printing when considering a closed room of approximately 1000 cu ft (8’ × 10’ × 12’).

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 (see above)

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

Laser Printer Precautions

This printer uses laser technology. The following list of precautions applies whenever you open the printer cover. Even if you are familiar with other types of printers, be sure to follow these precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation.

Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact. If the printer has been in use, the fuser can be very hot.

CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact

Getting Started

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 removing the developer cartridge, never touch the developing roller under the cover; otherwise, the print quality will decline.

Do not turn the cartridge upside down or stand it on its sides.

When handling the cartridge, always set it on a clean, smooth surface.

Do not attempt to modify or take apart the cartridge. It cannot be refilled.

Try not to touch the toner and avoid all contact with your eyes.

Do not use a cartridge for at least one hour after moving it from a cool to a warm environment.

Getting Star te d

When removing the photoconductor unit, avoid exposing it to room light any longer than necessary. The unit contains a light-sensitive drum, which is the green cylinder that can be seen through the openings to the unit. 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 unit out of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth.

Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always set the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its surface and may affect print quality.

Getting Started

To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gasses (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extremes or rapid changes of heat or humidity. Also, be sure to keep the consumable components out of the reach of children.
