Safety Information
Laser Safety
This is a page printer which operates by means of a laser. There is no
possibility of danger from the laser, provided the printer is operated
according to the instructio ns in this manual.
Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within protectiv e hous ing, the lase r beam canno t escape from t he machine duri ng
any phase of user operation.
Internal Laser Radiation
Maximum Radiation Power:
0.6 mW at la ser aperture of the print head unit
Wavelength:
770 – 810 nm
This product employs Class IIIb Laser Diode that emits an invisible
laser beam.
Laser Diode and Scan ning Polygon Mirror ar e incorpor ated in t he print
head unit.
The print head unit is not a field service item.
Therefore, the print head unit should not be opened under any circum-
stance.
Laser Safety
This printer is certified as a Class I Laser product under the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Per-
formance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and
Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

This device must be used with shielded interface (Parallel) cable and
shielded network (10/100Base-T) cable.
The use of non-shielded cable is likely to result in interference with
radio communications and is prohibited under 89/336/EEC rules.
Ozone Release
During printer operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This
amount is not large enough to harm anyone adversely. However, be
sure the room where the machine is being used has adequate ventilation, especially if you are printing a high volume of materials, or if the
machine is being used continuously over a long period.

Selecting a Location for the Printer
A proper location helps to ensure that your printer provides you with
the long service life for which it is designed. Double-check to make
sure that the location you select has the following characteristics.
• Choose a location that is we ll-ventilated.
• Make sure there is no chance of ammonia or other organic gasses
being generated in the area.
• The power outlet you plan to c onnect to f or po we r shoul d be n earb y
and unobstructed.
• Make sure that the printer is not exposed to direct sunlight.
• Avoid areas in the direct airflow of air conditioners, heaters, or ventilators, and areas subjected to temperature and humidity extremes.
• Choose a sturdy , level surface where the pri nt er wi ll not be exposed
to strong vibration.
• Keep the printer away from any objects that might block its heat
vents.
• Do not locate the printer near curtains or other combustible objects.
• Choose an area where there is no possibility of the printer being
splashed with water or other liquids.
• Make sure that the surrounding area is clean, dry, and free of dust.

Powe r So urce
The following are the power source requirements for this printer.
Power supply:
220 – 240 V at 50 – 60 Hz
Voltage fluctuation:
220 – 240 V ±10%
Frequency fluctuation:
Within ±3 Hz
Note
Use a power source with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation.
◆
Only use an outlet that is rated for the voltage capacity specified for this
◆
printer.
Be sure to plug the power cord all the way into the outlet. The outlet
◆
should be located near the printer and be easily accessible so you can
unplug the powe r cord immedi ately should any problem occur.
Make sure the outlet you use is visible, and not hidden behind the printer
◆
or any other object.
If any other electrical equipment is plugged into the same outlet, make
◆
sure that the capacity of the outlet is not exceeded.
If you use an extension cord, make sure its capacity is greater than the
◆
power consumption of the printer. Using an extension cord with a lower
capacity creates the danger of fire.
Never use a multiple socket to connect other appliances or machines to
◆
the same outlet being used to power the printer.

Operational Precautions
EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500
Operational Precautions
Note the following important precautions whenever using the printer.
Operating Environment
The following describes the operating environment required when
using the printer.
Temperature:
10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) with fluctuation of 10°C (18°F) per
hour
Humidity:
15% to 85% with fluctuation of 20% per hour
Printer
The following describes precautions for using the printer.
• Never turn the printer off or open any of its covers during a print
operation.
• Never place flammable gasses , li qui ds or ob jec ts that generate magnetic force s near the printer.
• When unplugging the power cord, always grasp the plug and never
pull on the cord. A damaged cord creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Never touch the power cor d when your han ds ar e wet. Doing so creates the danger of electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord bef ore mo vi ng the p rinte r. Failure to
do so can damage the power cord, creating the danger of fire or
electrical shock.
• Always unplug the power cord if you do not plan to use the printer
for a long time.
• Never try to remove any secured panel or cover. The interior of the
printer contains high-voltage circuitry which creates the danger of
electrical shock when exposed.
Chapter 2Setting-Up
2-5
Operational Precautions
EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500
• Never try to modify the printer. Doing so creates the danger of fire
or electrical shock.
• Never place any heavy objects on the power cord, pull on it or bend
it. Doing so creates the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Always make sure the printer is not placed on the electrical cord or
the communications cables of any other electrical equipment. Also
make sure that cords and cables do not get into the printer’s mecha-
Chapter 2Setting-Up
nism. Any of these conditions create the danger of malfunction and
fire.
• Always take care so that paper clips, staples, or other small pieces
of metal do not get into the printer through its vents o r other openings. Such objects create the danger of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not allow water or other liquids to spill on or near the printer.
Fire or electrical shock can occur should water or liquid come into
contact with the printer.
• Should liquid or any piec e of metal ac ciden tly g et i nside th e pri nter,
immediately turn it off, unplug the power cord, and contact your
dealer. Failure to take this immediate action creates the danger of
fire or electrical shock.
• Whenever the printer emits unus ually high amount s of hea t, smok e,
an unusual odor, or noise, immediately turn it off, unplug it, and
contact your dealer . Failure to take this immediate act ion creates t he
danger of fire or electrical shock.
Caution
◆ Be sure to locate the printer in a well-ventilated location. A minimal
amount of ozon e is generated during normal ope ration of this
printer. Because of this, an unpleasant odor may result when the
printer is used for extensive printing in a poorly ventilated area. F or
comfortable, healthy , a nd safe operation, be sure to locate the printer
in a well-ventilated area.
2-6
Operational Precautions
EDNord - Istedgade 37A - 9000 Aalborg - telefon 96333500
Attention
◆ Placer l’imprimante dans une pièce largement ventilée
Une quantité d’ozone négligable est dégagée pendant le fonctionnement de l’imprimante quand celle-ci est utilisée normalement.
Cependant, une odeur désagréable pent être ressentie dans les pièces
dont l’aération est insuffisante et lorsqu’une utilisation prolongée de
l’imprimante est effectuée. Pour avoir la certitude de travailler dans
des conditions de confort, santé et sécurité, il est préférable de bien
aérer la pièce où se trouve l’imprimante.
Printer Supplies
Note the following precautions when handling printer supplies such as
the toner cartridge, the drum cartridge, and paper.
• Avoid storing printer supplies in the following locations.
• Areas subjected to direct sunlight. Additionally, the drum cartridge must be protected from fluorescent light.
• Areas exposed to open flame.
• Areas subjected to high humidity.
• Areas subjected to large amounts of dust.
• Keep paper that has been removed from its wrapper, but not yet
loaded onto the printer tray, in a sealed plastic bag and store it in a
cool, dark location.
• Use only the toner cartridg e that is expressly specified for this
printer.
• Keep supplies out of the reach of children.
• Should your hands become soiled with toner, immediately wash
them with soap and water.
Caution
Chapter 2Setting-Up
◆ Whenever you remove the drum cartridge from the printer, immedi-
ately wrap it with a cloth to protect it against overexposure to light.
