Electrical Safety

Power Cord

Use the power cord supplied with your printer.

• Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that each end of the cord is connected securely. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.

WARNING: To avoid risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use extension cords, power strips, or

power plugs for more than 90 days. When a permanent outlet receptacle cannot be installed, use only one factory-assembled extension cord of the appropriate gauge per printer or multifunction printer. Always adhere to national and local building, fire, and electrical codes regarding length of cord, conductor size, grounding, and protection.

• Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have a ground connection terminal.

• 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 printer is powered On.

• If the power cord becomes frayed or worn, replace it.

• To avoid electrical shock and damage to the cord, grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on 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.

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.

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.

• Do not override any electrical or mechanical interlock devices.

• Do not attempt to remove paper that is jammed deeply inside the printer. Switch off the printer promptly and contact your local Xerox representative.

WARNING:

• The metallic surfaces in the fuser area are hot. Always use caution when removing paper jams

from this area and avoid touching any metallic surfaces.

• To avoid a tip hazard, do not push or move the device with all the paper trays extended.

Ozone Release

This printer produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced is dependent on print volume. Ozone is heavier than air and is not produced in amounts large enough to harm anyone. Install the printer in a well-ventilated room.

Media Output Locations

The device has two output locations:

• Output tray, face down, up to a maximum of 120 sheets of 20 lb (80 g/m²) paper.

The output tray collects printed paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. The output tray should be used for most jobs. When the output tray is full, a message displays on the control panel.

To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.

Note:

• If paper coming out of the output tray has

problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover.

• To reduce paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the printer is printing.

• Rear cover, face up, one sheet at a time.

The device sends output to the output tray by default. If using special media, such as envelopes, or excessive curl or creases appear, the rear cover should be used for the output. Open the rear cover and keep it open while printing one sheet at a time.

Parts of the Printer

Note: The rear cover output can only be used for simplex

jobs. Duplex printing with the rear door open will cause paper jams.

CAUTION: The fuser area inside the rear cover of your

device becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area.

Network Connectivity

TCP/IP

Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network. Bonjour is a discovery protocol that allows devices on a TCP/IP network to discover each other without knowledge of specific IP addresses. Bonjour is built in to Macintosh operating systems. You can install Bonjour on Windows devices.

With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer requires a unique IP address. Many networks, and cable and DSL routers have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to every computer and printer on the network that is configured to use DHCP.

If you use a cable or DSL router, for information on IP addressing, refer to the documentation for your router.

account user name and password. For information about logging in as an administrator, refer to

SLP

Printers use Service Location Protocol (SLP) to announce and look up services on a local network without prior configuration. When SLP is enabled, the printer becomes a Service Agent (SA) and announces its services to User Agents (UA) on the network using SLP.

Directory Agents (DA) are components that cache services. They are used in larger networks to reduce the amount of traffic. DAs are optional. If a DA is present, then User Agents (UAs) and System Agents (SAs) are required to use it instead of communicating directly with the printer.
