CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not set up this product or make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the power cord, fax feature, or telephone, during a lightning storm.
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 information 6
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.

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.

Statement of Volatility

Type of memory Description
Volatile memory The printer uses standard random access memory (RAM)
to buer temporarily user data during simple print and copy jobs.
Non-volatile memory The 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 memory Some 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 dierent 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.
buered
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.
