Electrical Safety

General Guidelines

WARNING:

•Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Touching a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electric shock.

•Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are installing optional equipment and are instructed to do so. Power off the printer when performing these installations. Disconnect the power cord when removing covers and guards for installing optional equipment. Except for user-installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.

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.

•The printer emits smoke, or the surface is unusually hot.

•The printer emits unusual noise or odors.

•The printer causes a circuit breaker, fuse, or other safety device to activate.

If any of these conditions occur, do the following:

1.Power off the printer immediately.

2.Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

3.Call an authorized service representative.

Power Cord Safety Information

Before operating your printer, read the following instructions carefully. For details, contact your Xerox representative.

WARNING:

•The electrical supply for the device must meet the requirements stated on the data plate on the rear of the device. If you are not sure that your electrical supply meets the requirements, consult your local electricity provider or a licensed electrician.

•Do not use an extension cord.

•Do not remove or modify the power cord.

Refer to these instructions to ensure the continued and safe operation of your printer.

•Use the power cord that is 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 verify that the outlet is grounded.

User Guide

Safety

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

WARNING: To avoid the potential of an electrical shock, ensure that the printer is grounded properly. Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.

•Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that provides 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.

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

•Do not unplug or plug in the power cord while the printer is powered on.

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

•The electrical outlet must be near the printer and must be easily accessible.

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on the back cover of the printer. If it is
necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the
electrical outlet. For details, refer to the User Guide	.

Battery Safety Information

•The Printed Wire Board Assembly Electronic Switching System (PWBA ESS) in this printer uses a lithium battery.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace the lithium battery. If there is a problem with the battery, contact an authorized service representative to correct the problem.

WARNING:

•If the battery for the PWBA ESS is installed incorrectly, there is a risk of explosion.
