OZONE EMISSION
Ozone is a form of oxygen that is created
naturally in the upper atmosphere by
ultraviolet radiation. It can also be created
by an electric discharge, such as lightning.
Electrostatic printing equipment generates
ozone by a silent electric discharge when the
corotrons are energized during a print run.
This product produces ozone during normal
operation. The ozone produced is dependent on
print volume and is heavier than air.
Providing the correct environmental parameters
as specified in this guide ensures that
concentration levels meet safe limits.
Health and Safety Standards for Ozone
Because ozone can be an irritant, various
health and safety organizations worldwide, such
as Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), have
established limits to the amount of ozone to
which employees may be exposed. These
workplace exposure limits are:
F A person may not be exposed to an average
concentration of greater than 0.1 part per
million (PPM) of ozone for a period of eight
hours.
This product normally will not generate

paper in the tray:
F Paper of different sizes
F Folded or creased paper
F Excessively curled paper.
Paper Curl in Paper Loading All paper has a
curl that is created in the manufacturing
process. During the process, paper is stored
on large rolls before being cut into sheets.
Once cut and packaged, it retains some of the
curl from the large storage rolls.

F Sequential--this scheme assigns no priority

received from any enabled port and then
advances to the next enabled port in the
sequence. The sequential polling is:
Parallel, Serial, AppleTalk, Other I/O, and
then back to Parallel. *

F Priority--this scheme allows you to assign a
high priority to one enabled port (Parallel,
AppleTalk, Serial, or Other I/O). All other
ports have the same lower priority. If new
jobs are received from the priority port
before the jobs on the other ports have
begun executing, the port with the high
priority gets its print jobs printed first
and bumps other jobs with lower priority
ports down the queue.

standard PostScript page description
language to describe the appearance of a
printed page. Some of the 256 characters
used by PostScript are interpreted as

F Robust Xon/Xoff--this data stream handshake
2-31
is an extension of the Xon/Xoff data stream
handshake. If no data is received within
one second of the transmission of an Xon, it
sends additional Xon characters at one
second intervals.
F Data Terminal Ready (DTR)--the DTR line
indicates whether or not the printer can
receive data (READY) or not (BUSY). When
the printer is READY, the DTR signal
switches to a HIGH state (unless the DTR
line has been set to inverted operation, in
which it switches to a low state) as a
request for data.
The printer requests data when the print
buffer is near empty.
The printer switches DTR to BUSY when the
print buffer is near full. When the printer
is turned on, the DTR signal is held at BUSY
until the printer has completed SELF TEST
and WARM UP.
Baud Rate (Serial) The Baud Rate is the rate at
which the information is sent from the host
computer to the printer. Baud rate is measured
in bits per second (bps). The factory default
9600
setting is *
and this setting is normally
appropriate, but the setting must correspond to
the baud rate setting at the host computer.
The following baud rates are supported: 300,
600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400.
