Your Pro 16fx and supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements.
These include safety agency examination and approval, and compliance to established
environmental standards. Please read the following instructions carefully before operating the Pro
16fx and refer to them as needed to ensure the continued safe operation of your Pro 16fx.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or supplied with the product.
Symbology:
= LaserCaution use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Unplug this Pro 16fx from the wall outlet before cleaning. Always use materials specifically
designated for this Pro 16fx. Use of other materials may result in poor performance and could
create a hazardous situation.
Do not use aerosol cleaners. Follow the instructions in this User Guide for proper cleaning
methods.
Never use supplies or cleaning materials for purposes other than what they were intended. Keep
all supplies and materials out of reach of children.
Do not use this Pro 16fx near water, wet locations, or outdoors.
Do not place this Pro 16fx on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The Pro 16fx may fall, causing

This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug (e.g., a plug having a third grounding
pin). This plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. To avoid
risk of electric shock, contact your electrician to replace the receptacle if you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet. Never use a grounding adapter plug to connect the Pro 16fx to a power
source receptacle that lacks a ground connection terminal.

Safety Notes
This Pro 16fx should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your local power company.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the Pro 16fx where persons will
step on the cord.
The power supply cord is the disconnect device for this equipment. Insure that installation is
near the outlet and is easily accessible.
Your machine is equipped with an energy saving device to conserve power when the machine is
not in use. The machine may be left on continuously.
Slots and Openings in the cabinet and in the back and sides of the Pro 16fx are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the Pro 16fx and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The Pro 16fx should never be located near or over a
radiator or heat register. This Pro 16fx should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into the slots of the Pro 16fx as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts which could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the Pro 16fx.
Never remove covers or guards that require a tool for removal. There are no casual operator
serviceable areas within these covers.
Never defeat interlock switches. Machines are designed to restrict operator access to unsafe
areas. Covers, guards, and interlock switches are provided to ensure that the machine will not
operate with covers opened.
Use of an extension cord with this Pro 16fx is not recommended or authorized.
Avoid direct viewing of the document lights. The lamps are bright and, while not harmful, they
may cause an annoying afterimage. Always keep the document cover closed during operation
and storage.
Avoid exposing the drum cartridge to light for extended periods of time.

Safety Notes
Do not touch the green photoreceptor. Scratches or smudges that appear on the photoreceptor
will result in poor copy quality and may shorten the service life.
Do not put your hands into the fuser area, as you may be burned.
Ozone: This product produces ozone during normal operation. The ozone produced is
dependent on copy volume and is heavier than air. Providing the correct environmental
parameter, as specified in the Xerox installation procedures, ensure that concentration levels
meet safe limits.
If you need additional safety information concerning the Pro 16fx or Xerox supplied materials, you
may call the following toll-free number.
