All other Customer Replaceable Consumables (CRCs) will be covered for a period of ninety (90) days (six (6) months where longer periods are required by law) from the date of installation, but not more than one (1) year from date of shipment. Under this warranty, the Customer must notify Xerox or its authorized service representative of the defect before the expiration of the warranty period. XEROX MAY REQUIRE THAT THE DEFECTIVE CRC BE RETURNED TO A DESIGNATED XEROX DEPOT OR THE XEROX REPRESENTATIVE FROM WHICH THE CRC WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED. Claims will be handled according to the current Xerox procedure.
These warranties shall not apply to any defect, failure or damage caused by improper use or improper or inadequate maintenance and care. Xerox shall not be obligated under these warranties:

representatives to install, repair or service the product unless directed by a Xerox representative;
b. to repair damage, malfunction, or degradation of performance resulting from
improper use or connection to incompatible equipment or memory;
c. to repair damage, malfunction, or degradation of performance caused by the
use of non-Tektronix/Xerox printer supplies or consumables or the use of Tektronix/Xerox supplies not specified for use with this printer;
d. to repair a product or CRC that has been modified or integrated with other
products when the effect of such modification or integration increases the time or difficulty of servicing the product or CRC;
e. to perform user maintenance or cleaning or to repair damage, malfunction,
or degradation of performance resulting from failure to perform user maintenance and cleaning as prescribed in published product materials;
f. to repair damage, malfunction, or degradation of performance resulting from
use of the product in an environment not meeting the operating specifications set forth in the user manual;
g. to repair this product after the limit of its duty cycle has been reached; all
service thereafter shall be billed on a time and material basis;

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'S 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’s 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.

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

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.
Note

Paper and Print Media

Paper tips

Only use the supported paper types, sizes, and weights.
Do not use perforated paper.
Store the paper on a flat surface, in a relatively low-humidity environment.
Avoid storing paper in such a way as to cause wrinkling, bending, curling, etc.
Do not unwrap paper until you are ready to use it, and rewrap any paper you are not using.
Do not expose paper to direct sunlight.
Do not expose paper to high humidity, since moisture can affect feed reliability.
Handle transparencies by the edges and with both hands to avoid fingerprints and creases, which can result in poor print quality.
Always use the manual-feed slot for envelopes.

Supported media

Refer to the following table for the supported paper and media types, sizes, and weights and the correct trays to load that media. You can also print the Paper Tips Page from the printer’s front panel, which lists the supported paper types and sizes.
