1.3Working safely with your laser printer

Notes on your safety and operating safety

Working improperly with the printer can result in health hazards, electric shocks and even fires. Before you unpack the laser printer, you should make yourself familiar with this information on your safety and operating safety.

CAUTION

Observe the following information:

Make sure that the power cable is correctly plugged into the socket and that the socket is at all times visible and readily accessible.

Do not pull the cable of the power plug as this may damage the cable. The result could be an electric shock or a fire.

Remove the power plug from the socket if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time.

Do not remove the power cable from the socket with wet hands as this may result in an electric shock.

Do not move the unit unless the power cable has been removed from the socket. Otherwise you may damage the cable. The result could be a short-circuit or a fire.

Do not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Do not pull or kink the cable as this can result in damage to the cable. The result could be an electric shock or a fire.

Make sure that the machine is not standing on a cable connected to another machine as this can result in damage to that cable. The result could be a fire or improper functioning of the unit in question.

Make sure that the power supply to the unit has the correct voltage. Otherwise the result could be a fire or an electric shock.

Switch off the unit immediately and unplug the power cable if the power supply cable is damaged. Failure to do so could result in a fire or an electric shock. Contact your customer support service centre.

Use only extension cables that are designed for at least the maximum power rating of the machine. Extension cables with lower ratings can result in overheating and can even cause a fire.

1-4	PagePro 4100GN

Introduction	1

Perform only the procedures that are described in this manual. Using the machine improperly can result in a fire or an electric shock.

Do not place any heavy objects on the machine.

Do not open any covers on the machine while printing is in progress.

Do not switch off the unit while printing is in progress.

Do not place any magnetic object near the machine.

Do not use any flammable sprays, liquids or gases in the vicinity of the machine.

Do not remove any safety devices and do not alter the construction of the machine. The unit is equipped with high-voltage components. Using the machine improperly can result in a fire or an electric shock.

Do not insert any paper clips, staples or other small metal objects into openings on the machine. The result could be an electric shock or a fire. If metal pieces are fed into the machine, switch it off immediately, disconnect the power cable and contact your customer support service centre.

Do not place coffee cups, drinks bottles or other containers with liquids in them on the machine. If liquid enters the machine the result could be an electric shock or a fire. If liquid does get into the machine, switch it off immediately, disconnect the power cable and contact your customer support service centre.

If the machine becomes unusually hot, or if you notice smoke or an unusual odour coming from the machine, switch it off immediately and remove the power cable from the socket. Contact your customer support technical specialist.

1	Introduction

Laser safety

This printer is equipped with a laser unit. If the printer is used in accordance with the 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) Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Internal laser radiation

Average radiation output:

1.03 mW at the laser aperture of the laser unit.

Wavelength: 770-810 nm

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 ITEM TO BE MAINTAINED ON SITE. You should therefore not 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.

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

1-6	PagePro 4100GN

Introduction	1

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 here confirms compliance with the CDRH regulations. This label must be attached to all products sold or used in the USA.

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.

Power supply: 120-127 V at 50-60 Hz / 220-240 V at 50-60 Hz

Voltage fluctuation: 120 V -10%, 127 V +6% / 220-240 V ± 10%

Frequency fluctuation: Within 3 Hz

1 Make sure that the printer’s power switch is in the "0" (OFF) position.

2Insert the plug on the end of the power cable (supplied) into the power socket of the printer.

3 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!

The use of a power cable of inadequate cross-section can lead to overheating of the cable.

Only use an extension cable which has a higher rating than the current consumption of the printer.

Only use cables with a ground connection.

Always observe the relevant local regulations regarding the connection of electrical equipment to the mains network.

Switching the printer on and off

CAUTION

Improper handling may result in damge to the printer!

Never switch off the printer while a print job is in progress, the printer is receiving data from the computer (flashing “Stand-by“lamp on the control panel) or the printer is being reset.

Switch the power switch to "I" (“On“)

in order to activate the printer.

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

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 the POWER SAVE mode. This time interval can be adjusted via the printer tools, see page 5-9.

If the printer receives a new print job while it is in POWER SAVE mode, or if the side cover is openend or if the [ON LINE] key is pressed, the printer automatically starts its warm-up phase.
