THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE GIVEN BY XEROX WITH RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT AND ITS CUSTOMER REPLACEABLE CONSUMABLES IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. XEROX AND ITS VENDORS DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR ANY SIMILAR STANDARD IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LEGISLATION. XEROX' RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACE, OR OFFER A REFUND FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER REPLACEABLE CONSUMABLES IS THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED TO THE CUSTOMER FOR BREACH OF THESE WARRANTIES. XEROX AND ITS VENDORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS) IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER XEROX OR THE VENDOR HAS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states, provinces, and countries do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or exclusions or limitations on the duration of implied warranties or conditions, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary by state, province, or country.
For the software warranty please see the end user license agreement included with the software.
In certain geographies this product is warranted by Fuji Xerox. This statement of warranty does not apply in Japan – please refer to the warranty statement provided in the Japanese user manual for products purchased in Japan.
If you are an Australian consumer, you should be aware that the Trade Practices Act 1974 and equivalent State and Territory legislation (collectively "the Acts") contain special provisions designed to protect Australian consumers. Nothing in any Fuji Xerox warranty material excludes or limits the application of any provision of any of the Acts, where to do so would contravene the Acts or cause any part of this warranty to be void. In this warranty material, an implied condition or warranty, the exclusion of which from a contract with a "Consumer" (as defined in the Acts) would contravene any provision of the Acts or cause any part or all of this warranty to be void, is called a "Non-excludable Condition". To the full extent permitted by law, Fuji Xerox’s sole and total liability to the customer for a breach of any Non-excludable Condition (including for any consequential loss suffered by the customer) is limited, except as otherwise stated herein, to (at Fuji Xerox’ option) replacing or repairing the goods, or resupplying, or paying the cost of the resupply of, the services, in respect of which the breach occurred. Subject to the above, all conditions and warranties which would or might otherwise be implied in a Consumer contract, whether by operation of statute, inference from circumstances, industry practice or otherwise, are excluded.

User safety summary

Your printer and the recommended consumable supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. Attention to the following notes will ensure the continued safe operation of your printer.
Electrical Safety
Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to a power source
receptacle that lacks a ground connection terminal.
Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use
an extension cord. If you do not know whether an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.
Warning
Avoid the potential of severe electrical shock by ensuring the printer is properly grounded.
Do not place the printer where people may step on the power cord.
Do not place objects on the power cord.
Do not obstruct the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent
overheating of the printer.
Warning
Do not push objects into slots and openings on the printer. Making a contact with a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.
If you notice unusual noises or odors, switch off the printer power immediately.
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Call an authorized service representative to correct the problem.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the back of the
printer. In the event it is necessary to remove all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the power receptacle.
If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the printer power immediately, disconnect the power cord, and call an authorized service representative.
The power cord is damaged or frayed.
Liquid is spilled into the printer.
The printer is exposed to water.
Any part of the printer is damaged.
Maintenance Safety
Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the
documentation supplied with your printer.
Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause poor performance and could create a dangerous condition.
Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are
installing optional equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF when performing these installations. Except for user installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.
Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines will help to ensure the continued safe operation of your printer.
Use the material and supplies specifically designed for your printer. The use of
unsuitable materials may result in poor performance and possibly a hazardous situation.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the printer,
options and supplies.
Place the printer in a dust free area where the temperature range is 50 degrees F to
90 degrees F (10 degrees C to 32 degrees C) and the relative humidity is 10 percent to 85 percent.
Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation, operation
and servicing. The recommended minimal spacing is 90 cm (36 in.) in front of and above the printer, 60 cm (24 in.) behind the printer, and 30 cm (12 in.) on each side of the printer. Do not block or cover the slots and openings on the printer. Without adequate ventilation, the printer may overheat.
For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 2,000 meters (6,560
ft.). Performance may diminish at elevations between 2,000 meters (6,560 ft.) and 3,000 meters (9,840 ft.). Use at elevations above 3,000 meters (9,840 ft.) exceeds operability limits.
Do not place the printer near a heat source.
Do not place the printer in direct sunlight.
Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning
system.
Place the printer on a level, solid surface with adequate strength for the weight of the machine. The base printer weight without any packaging materials is 68 kg (149 pounds).
The printer is heavy, and must be lifted by three people. The illustration below
shows the proper technique for lifting the printer.
68 kg
149 lbs.
0748-01
Exercise care in moving or relocating the printer, it is back-heavy and could tip backward. Follow the recommended procedure when moving the printer from one location to another. Refer to the Phaser 2135 Setup Instructions.

Wait 10-15 seconds between switching the printer off and on.
Keep hands, hair, neckties, etc., away from the exit and feed rollers.
While printing, do not remove:
the media source tray that you have selected in the driver or front panel
any trays above the currently selected media source tray.
Do not open the covers while printing.
