Your printer and the recommended supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements. Attention to the following information ensures the continued safe operation of
your printer.
Electrical Safety
■Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
■Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Make sure each
end of the cord is securely connected. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an
electrician to check the outlet.
■Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not
have a ground connection terminal.
■Do not use an extension cord or power strip.
■Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is capable of providing the correct
voltage and power. Review the printer’s electrical specification with an electrician if
necessary.
Warning: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly
grounded. Electrical products may be hazardous if misused.
■Do not place the printer in an area where people might step on the power cord.
■Do not place objects on the power cord.
■Do not block the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent overheating
of the printer.
■Do not drop paper clips or staples into the printer.
Warning: Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Making contact with a
voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.

User Safety
If you notice unusual noises or odors:
1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. 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. If it is
necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from
the electrical outlet.
Warning: 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.
Note: Leave the printer on for optimum performance; it does not pose a safety hazard. If
however the printer will not be used over an extended period of time, it should be turned off
and unplugged.
The following are hazards to your safety:
■The power cord is damaged or frayed.
■Liquid is spilled into the printer.
■The printer is exposed to water.
If any of these conditions occur, do the following:
1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Call an authorized service representative.
Laser Safety
With specific regard to lasers, this printer complies with laser product performance standards
set by governmental, national, and international agencies and is certified as a Class 1 Laser
Product. The printer does not emit hazardous light because the beam is totally enclosed during
all modes of customer operation and maintenance.
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 hazardous condition.
■Do not attempt to open, reuse, or burn any consumables or routine maintenance items. For

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 helps to ensure the continued, safe
operation of your printer.
Printer Location
Place the printer in a dust-free area within a temperature range of 50° F to 90° F (10° C to
32° C) and a relative humidity range of 15 percent to 85 percent.
Humidity should be 70 percent or below at 90° F, and temperature should be 82° F or below at
85 percent humidity.
Note: Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room
can cause condensation inside the machine, directly interfering with image transfer.
Printer Clearance
Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation, operation, and
servicing. The recommended minimal spacing is:
Overhead Clearance:
■20 cm (7.9 in.) above the printer
Total Height Requirements:
■Printer: 58.9 cm (23.2 in.)
Other Clearances:
■10 cm (3.9 in.) behind the printer
■60 cm (23.6 in.) in front of the printer
■10 cm (3.9 in.) on the left side of the printer
■25 cm (9.8 in.) on the right side of the printer
Operational Guidelines
■Do not block or cover the slots and openings on the printer. The printer may overheat
without adequate ventilation.
■For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 3,500 m (11,480 ft.).
■Do not place the printer near a heat source.
■Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposing light-sensitive components
when the doors are open.
■Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning system.
