Phaser® 6280 Printer

User Safety

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.

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.

Phaser® 6280 Printer

User Safety

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 information on Xerox supplies recycling programs, go to

www.xerox.com/gwa

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 41° F to 90° F (5° C to 32° C) and a relative humidity range of 15 percent to 85 percent.

Phaser® 6280 Printer

User Safety

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:

• 35 cm (13.8 in.) above the printer

Total Height Requirements:

• Printer: 47 cm (18.5 in.)

• Add 14 cm (5.5 in.) for the 550-Sheet Feeder.

Other Clearances:

• 13 cm (5 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

• 10 cm (3.9 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.

Phaser® 6280 Printer

User Safety

• Place the printer on a level, solid non-vibrating surface with adequate strength for the weight of the printer. It should be within 1° of horizontal with all four feet in solid contact with the surface. The printer weight with the duplex unit and consumables is

29.25 kg (64.5 lb.).

• Do not place the printer in locations exposed to magnetic forces.

• Do not place the printer in damp locations.

• Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.

Printing Safety Guidelines

• Wait 10-15 seconds between turning the printer off and on.

• Keep hands, hair, neckties, etc., away from the exit and feed rollers.

When the printer is printing:

• Do not remove the paper source tray that you selected in either the printer driver or control panel.

• Do not open the doors.

• Do not move the printer.

Printer Supplies

• Use the supplies specifically designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials may cause poor performance and a possible safety hazard.

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the printer, options, and supplies.

Caution: Use of non-Xerox supplies is not recommended. The Xerox Warranty, Service

Agreements, and Total Satisfaction Guarantee do not cover damage, malfunction, or degradation of performance caused by use of non-Xerox supplies, or the use of Xerox supplies not specified for this printer. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details.

6280-040

Phaser® 6280 Printer

User Safety

• Carry the printer without tilting it.

Caution: Do not tilt the printer more than 10 degrees to the front/back or right/left.

Tilting more than 10 degrees may lead to consumables inside the printer spilling out.

Note: The rear side of this printer is heavier than the front. Be aware of this weight

difference when moving the printer.

• Do not place any food or liquids on the printer.

Caution: Damage to the printer resulting from improper moving or failure to repackage the

printer properly for shipment, is not covered by the warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details.
