1.4 Safety information

Laser safety

This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation Performance Standard according to Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation. Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely confined within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the printer during any phase of user operation.

Laser notice

The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter for Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 825.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 5 milliwatt laser operating in the wavelength region of 670 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service condition.
Safety information
Laser product labels are located on top of the laser scanner:

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Safety information
Figure 1.2 Laser notice label
Warning Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation expo­sure.

CDRH regulations

The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These regulations apply to laser products manufactured after August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products marketed in the United States. A label indi­cating compliance with the CDRH regulations must be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.

Ozone concentration

Laser printers generate ozone gas (O3) which may concentrate in the place of installation and cause an unpleasant smell. To minimize the concentration of ozone gas, we recommend that the laser printer not be installed in a confined area lack­ing ventilation.

1.5 Installation

Environmental requirements

Environmental conditions
Environmental conditions described in Table 1. 1 on page 3 should be observed to ensure the optimum operation of the printer. The use of the printer in a location which does not satisfy the requirements may result in troubles and risk shortening its service life.
The printer will work best if it is installed in a location that is:
Level and well supported (Place the printer on a sturdy table or desk.)
Not exposed to sunlight or other bright light (not next to an uncurtained win-
dow). Do not place the printer on an unstable cart, stand, or table.
Near an AC wall outlet, preferably one that can be used for the printer alone
(See Table 1. 1 on page 3). (The outlet should have a ground slot, or an adaptor should be used. If you use an extension cord, the total length of the power cord plus extension cord should be 17 feet or 5 meters or less.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Installation
Well ventilated, not too hot or cold, and not too damp or dry. If you install the
printer where the temperature or humidity is outside the requirements in Table 1. 1 on page 3 in chapter 1, the best print quality may not be expected and there will be an increased chance of paper jams.
Provide a sufficient clearances around the printer to ensure ventilation and
ease of access. See below.

Clearance

Allow the necesary minimum clearance on all sides of the printer (below).

Places to avoid

Avoid installing the printer in locations exposed to:
Direct drafts of hot or cold air.
Direct drafts of outside air. (Avoid locations next to outside doors.)
Sudden temperature or humidity changes.
Any source of high heat, such as a radiator or stove.
Excessive dust. Dust and smoke may cause contamination on the laser scanner
window, causing print quality problem.
Vibration.
Ammonia fumes or other harmful fumes. (In case of humigating the room or
saturate it with insecticide, remove the printer first.)
Avoid greenhouse-like rooms. (Because of sunlight and humidity.)
Avoid enclosed spaces that block ventilation.
Avoid sites more than 6500 feet or 2000 meters above sea level.

Notes on power

Use only the power source voltage conforming to the printer’s rated power volt-
age (See Table 1. 1 on page 3). Do not use other power sources.
Disconnect the printer from the power source before attempting removal or re-
placement of an electrical component or a printed-circuit board.
The printer should not be connected to a power source until the instruction is
given to do so when performing tests described in this manual.
In connecting the printer power, exercise an extreme care in handling the
power supply or any other electric parts which may give an electric shock.
Before performing maintenance or repair, power from both the power source
and the associated peripheral devices (computer, sorter, etc.) should be discon­nected, unless otherwise specified.
To avoid possible electrical shock, extreme caution must be exercised in han-
dling the power cord and any other electrical part.
Warning As the disconnect device is not incorporated in the printer's AC pri-
mary circuit, an easily accessible socket outlet must be provided near the equipment.

1.6 About the toner

PRODUCT INFORMATION
About the toner
The printer should use Kyocera
Toner Kit. To ensure the high print quality
TK-20
and long service life, the following handling precautions should apply.
Caution As the Ecosys printers are designed to ensure the optimum print qual-
ity when used with the Kyoceraís proprietary toner, Kyocera do not recommend to use any refilled toner containers that may be available commercially. This is because Kyocera have no means for control over how such refilled toner could affect the print quality and the reliabil­ity of the printer.

Toner container handling

To loosen and mix the toner inside, with the label side down, thoroughly shake the toner container (in the direction of the arrow) ten times or more.
Warning Do not attempt to disassemble or refill the toner container.
