Laser safety

This printer is equi pped with a lase r unit. If the pri nter is used in ac cordance with th e instructions in the User's Manual, the laser presents no danger.

The radiation emitted is completely absorbed and attenuated by the case. The laser radiation cannot escape at any time during the printing process.

This laser printer is categorized as a Class 1 printer. This classification means that the printer does not produce any hazardous laser radiation.

This printer is certified as a Class I Laser product under the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiatio n Perfo r ma nce Stand ard ac co rdi ng to th e Ra di atio n Cont rol for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the pr inter does not produce haza rdous laser radiation.

Internal laser radiation

Average radiation output:

1.03 mW at the laser aperture of the print head unit. Wavelength: 770-810 nm

1-3

Introduction

This device works with a laser diode of class 3b with invisible laser radiation. The laser diode and the polygon mirror for sampling are integrated into the laser unit.

The laser unit is NOT AN I TEM TO BE MAI NTAINED ON SITE. Yo u sho uld there fore no t open it under any circumstance.

CAUTION Dangerous laser radiation!

Using the printer in a manner other than as indicated in this manual may result in exposure to dangerous radiation.

Ü Use the printer only according to the instructions contained in the User's Manual.

CDRH regulations

On 2 August 1976 the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), part of the US Food and Drug Administration, introduced specifications for all products that operate with laser beams. Products which are to be sold or used in the USA must comply with these statutory requirements without exception. The safety label shown on the following page confirms compliance with the CDRH regu lations. This label must be attached t o all products sold or use d in the USA.

2.4 Please note the following points:

What should I watch out for when loading paper?

To avoid paper misfeeds in the laser printer, please observe the following points:

l Do not use any paper with the following features: m Paper that has already been used in a thermal or ink-jet printer.

m Folded or wavy paper. m Paper with a surface that is too smooth, too rough or irregular. m Specially coated paper such as carbon paper or paper with an adhesive surface. m Paper that is not cut at right angles. m Paper that is held together by glue, adhesive or clips. m Paper with labels that detach easily. m Warped or curled-up postcards.

Note:

When paper is loaded, the orientation is based on the format marks in the paper source units.

What should I watch out for when loading envelopes?

To avoid envelope misfeeds in the laser printer, please observe the following points:

l Do not use self-adhesive envelopes or those with a tear-off strip, closures or a window. l Place the e nvelopes in the tray horizontally. l Place the envelopes in the tray with th e flap down so that the upper su rface of the enve lopes

is lying against the side of the tray with the feed roller.

l Load envelopes of format B5 with the flap facing down and pointing to the rear of the tray. l Make certain that the flaps are neatly folded back.

Unpacking and setting up

2-13

Fit the cover of paper feed tray 1.

Unpacking and setting up

Connecting the power cable

Only use the power cable supplied with the printer. The laser printer requires a power supply with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.

If necessary, ask an electrician for advice.

4 Power supply: 120-127 V at 50-60 Hz / 220-240 V at 50-60 Hz 4 Voltage fluctuation: 120V -10%, 127 V +6% / 220-240 V ±10% 4 Frequency fluctuation: Within 3 Hz

Make certain that the printer's power switch is in the

"0" (OFF) position.

Insert the plug on the end of the power cable (supplied)

into the power socket of the printer.

Insert the other end of the power cable into a power

socket.

CAUTION Using the wrong power cable may lead to a short circuit situation!

Using power cables of inadequate cross-section can lead to overheating of the cable.

Ü Only use an exte ns ion c abl e w h ic h h as a higher rating tha n t he current consumption of the

printer.

Ü Only use cables with a ground connection. Ü Always observe the relevant local regulations regarding the connection of electrical

equipment to the mains network.

2-14

Unpacking and setting up

Switching the printer on and off

CAUTION Improper handling may result in damage to the printer!

Ü Never switch off the printer w hile a prin t job is in progre ss, the printe r is recei ving data from

the computer (flashing “Stand-by“ lamp on the control panel) or the printer is being reset.

Ü Switch the power switch to "I" (ON) in order to activate the

printer. The printer is ready for use after approx. 23 seconds.

Ü Switch the power switch to "0" (OFF) in order to

deactivate the printer.

Saving energy makes sense!

After the printer has not received a print command for a certain amount of time, it automatically switches to POWER SAVE mode. This time interval can be set using the control panel (see the Online manual). If the printer receives a new print job while it is in Power Save mode, or if the side cover is opened, or if the [ON LINE] key is pressed, the printer automatically starts its warm-up phase.
