WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is grounded properly.

Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.

• Only use an extension cord or power strip designed to handle the electrical current capacity of the printer.

• Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is providing the correct voltage and power. Review the electrical specification of the printer with an electrician if necessary.

• Do not place the printer in an area where people can step on the power cord.

• Do not place objects on the power cord.

• Do not plug or unplug the power cord while the power switch is in the On position.

Printer Location

• Do not block or cover the slots or openings on the printer. These openings are provided for ventilation and to prevent overheating of the printer.

• Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing.

• Place the printer in a dust-free area.

• Do not store or operate the printer in an environment of extreme temperature or humidity.

• Do not place the printer near a heat source.

• Do not place the printer in direct sunlight.

• Do not place the printer where it is exposed directly to the cold air flow from an air conditioning

system.

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

• For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations recommended in Elevation on page 173.

Operational Guidelines

• Do not remove any paper trays while the printer is printing.

• Do not open the doors when the printer is printing.

• Do not move the printer when it is printing.

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

• Covers, which require tools for removal, protect the hazard areas within the printer. Do not remove

the protective covers.

Printer Supplies

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

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

• Store all supplies in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container.

• Keep all supplies away from the reach of children.

• Never burn supplies.

• When handling supplies, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can cause irritation and

inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble supplies, which can increase the risk of skin or eye contact.

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

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 could vary outside these areas. Please contact your Xerox representative for details.
