CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the power
cord. Do not subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between objects
such as furniture and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect
the power cord regularly for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet
before inspecting it.
Safety information6
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, make sure that all external
connections (such as Ethernet and telephone system connections) are properly installed in their marked
plug-in ports.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, if you are accessing the controller
board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn
the printer o, and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any
other devices attached to the printer, then turn them o as well, and unplug any cables going into the
printer.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock when cleaning the exterior of the
printer, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect all cables from the printer before
proceeding.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: If the printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb), then it requires two or
more trained personnel to lift it safely.
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: When moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid personal

• Make sure that all doors and trays are closed.
• Turn o the printer, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.
• Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer.
• If the printer has separate floor-standing optional trays or output options attached to it, then disconnect
them before moving the printer.
• If the printer has a caster base, then carefully roll it to the new location. Use caution when passing over
thresholds and breaks in
flooring.
• If the printer does not have a caster base but is configured with optional trays or output options, then remove
the output options and lift the printer o the trays. Do not try to lift the printer and any options at the same
time.
• Always use the handholds on the printer to lift it.
• Any cart used to move the printer must have a surface able to support the full footprint of the printer.
• Any cart used to move the hardware options must have a surface able to support the dimensions of the
options.
• Keep the printer in an upright position.
• Avoid severe jarring movements.
• Make sure that your fingers are not under the printer when you set it down.
• Make sure that there is adequate clearance around the printer.
CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Installing one or more options on your printer or MFP may require a
caster base, furniture, or other feature to prevent instability causing possible injury. For more information
on supported configurations, see
CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each tray separately.
Keep all other trays closed until needed.
CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot
component, allow the surface to cool before touching it.
CAUTION—PINCH HAZARD: To avoid the risk of a pinch injury, use caution in areas marked with this
label. Pinch injuries may occur around moving parts, such as gears, doors, trays, and covers.

Locating the security slot
The printer is equipped with a security lock feature. Attach a security lock compatible with most laptop
computers in the location shown to secure the printer in place.
Erasing printer memory
To erase volatile memory or buered data, turn o the printer.
To e ra s e n on ‑volatile memory or individual settings, device and network settings, security settings, and
embedded solutions, do the following:
1 From the control panel, navigate to:
> Settings > > Device > > Maintenance > > Out of Service Erase >
2 Select Sanitize all information on nonvolatile memory, and then press .
3 To start the job, select Continue, and then press
Volatile memoryThe printer uses standard random access memory (RAM)
to buer temporarily user data during simple print and
copy jobs.
Non-volatile memoryThe printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:
EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types are used
to store the operating system, printer settings, network
information, scanner and bookmark settings, and
embedded solutions.
Hard disk memorySome printers may have a hard disk drive installed. The
printer hard disk is designed for printer-specific
functionality. The hard disk lets the printer retain
user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font
data.
Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:
• The printer is decommissioned.
• The printer hard disk is replaced.
• The printer is moved to a dierent department or location.
• The printer is serviced by someone from outside your organization.
• The printer is removed from your premises for service.
• The printer is sold to another organization.
buered
Disposing of a printer hard disk
• Degaussing—Flushes the hard disk with a magnetic field that erases stored data
• Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable
• Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits
Note: To guarantee that all data are completely erased, destroy physically each hard disk where data is
stored.
