Safety Information

To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions. Do not do anything that is dang erous or not within the scope of this document. Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described in this manual. In addition to the descriptions below and those given in this manual, there are many situations and circumstances that are dangerous. Be aware of these when you are working with the printer.

Power Supply

Before starting any service procedure, switch off the printer power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. If you must service the printer when the power is applied, be aware of the pot ential for elect rical shock and do all tasks by following the procedures in this manual.

W ARNING

Do not touch any live part unless you are instructed to do so by a service procedure. The LVPS power supply switch/inlet part is li ve even when the power switch has been turned off. Do not touch any live part.

EPSON ColorPage EPL-C8200 Revision B

Mechanical Components

If you service a driving assembly (e.g., gears), first turn off the power and unplug the power cord. Then manually rotate the assembly.

W ARNING

Do not touch the driving part (e.g., gears) while the assembly (printer) is being driven.

Safety Components

The printer is equipped with safety components (e.g., interlock switches, fuses, thermostat) and safety switches for protecting users and service personnel from injury and the equipment from damage.

The printer has two interlock switches, two saf ety switches and two interlock connectors that serve as the main safety mechanism.

Front Cover Switch R This switch is turned off when the Front Cover Assembly is opened. It cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply unit to stop all operat ions and di sconnec ts the out put (5VDCLD) circuit from the power supply and stops the laser beam emission. This switch consists of the following two swit ches:

A switch that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuits and related parts.

A switch that directly cuts off the power supply circuit (5VDC-LD) to the laser beam output circuit.

Front Cover Switch L This is a safety switch. This switch is turned off when the Front Cover Assembly is opened, causing the printer without control units to stop operating.

Top Cover Switch This is an interlock switch that directly cuts off the power supply (5VDC-LD) circuit to the laser beam output circuit. This switch is turned off when the Top Cover Assembly is removed, cutting off the output (5VDC-LD) circuit from the power supply unit and stopping the laser beam emission.

EPSON ColorPage EPL-C8200 Revision B

Exit Chute Switch This switch is a safety switch. Thi s switch i s turned off when t he Exit Upper Assembly (the cover on the upper left side of the printer) is opened.

P/J91 (Connector that connects the Main Harness Assembly and Registration Harness Assembly) This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts. This connector is disconnected when the Main P/H Assembly (pullout type unit on the right side of the printer) is pulled out, cutting off the output (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply and stopping the printer operation without control units.

P/J71 (Connector that connects the Fuser Connector and Fuser Harness Assembly) This is an interlock connector that cuts off the power supply (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) to the control circuit and related parts. This connector is disconnected when the Fuser Assembly (pull-out type unit on the left side of the printer) is pulled out, cutting off the output (24VDC, 5VDC-LD) from the power supply and stopping the printer operation without control units.

EPSON ColorPage EPL-C8200 Revision B

Laser Beam

The printer has two interlock switches: the Front Cover Switch R and the Top Cover Switch. The purpose of these switches is to turn off the laser beam emission if any of t he pri nter cover s h ave been op ened; th is protects the user or servi ce personnel from exposure to the laser beam from the ROS Assembly.

A laser beam may be emitted during a maintenance operation. Do not turn on these interlock switches simult aneously under any circumstances except in a normal operation.

W ARNING

Do not expose yourself to the laser beam to prevent injury (blindness).

Do not open the cover that has the laser beam warning label.

If you disassemble or assemble the printer, turn off the power.

If you need to work on the printer with power applied, strictly follow the instructions in thi s manual.

If you have to activate the printer while pressing the Front Cover Switch R by hand or with a tool, remove the Top Cover. (Do not turn on these interlock switches simultaneously under any circumstances except in a normal operation.)

Understand how the laser beam functions and take maximum precautions not to injure yourself or anyone around you.

NOTE:The laser beam has a narrower frequency band and more

coherent phases than any ot her light (sunlight , electr ic light ). It has excellent monochromaticity and convergence. A thin laser beam reaches long distances. Because of its convergence characteristic, the laser beam converges into one point, causing high density and high temperature. A laser beam is harmful to the human body.

NOTE:The laser beam in this printer is invisibl e.

EPSON ColorPage EPL-C8200 Revision B

High Temperature Assembly

To prevent you from becoming injured or burned, do the following: Before working with a high temperature Assembly (e.g., Fuser Assembly), turn off the power, unplug the power cord and wait until it cools down.

W ARNING

The high temperature Assembly is very hot immediately after any printer operations. Wait at least 40 minutes before you start working on the printer.

Parts

To prevent you from becoming injured, keep the following in mind:

When handling heavy parts (including the printer it self), use good posture to protect your back whenever you lift, move or place parts.

W ARNING

Be careful not to injure yourself with the sharp edg es of the par ts.

Do not work with wet or oily hands-you may drop a part or injure yourself. Dry your hands first.

When pulling out a part (including a harness), do not use too much force. Pull out the part carefull y and slowly step by step.

Do not lift, move or place heavy parts in a body posture that is likely to cause injury to yourself or cause the part to drop.

EPSON ColorPage EPL-C8200 Revision B

Consumables

Some parts may cause a particulate explosion or fire if handled improperly. Do not handle these parts near fire or throw into a fire. Some materials (e.g., Developer or Fuser Oil) may cause bodily inj ury. Do not swallow or inhale these materials or allow them to come in contact with the eyes. Help to protect those around you and follow the prohibiti ons against swallowing or inhalin g those materials. Be careful t o protect the eyes at all times. Place a sheet inside or under the printer so that the floor or workbench is protected. If the Developer or Fuser Oi l gets on your clothing, dry it with a cloth a nd wash with clean water.

NOTE:The printer has the following consumable parts:

•

Drum Cartridge

•

Oil Roll Assembly

•

Toner Cartridge M

•

Toner Cartridge Bk

•

Waste Toner Box

•

Toner Cartridge Y

•

Toner Cartridge C

Improper Printer Use

Modifying, revising, tampering with the printer, especially to the safety mechanism, is strictly prohibited in all circumstances.
