Electrical Safety

General Guidelines

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.

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. 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.

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.

Power Cord

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.

WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is properly grounded. Electrical products may be hazardous if misused.

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.

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

Do not place objects on the power cord.

10ColorQube 8570/8870 Color Printer User Guide

Safety

The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the right rear corner of the printer. If it is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Note: Leave the printer on for optimum performance and to preserve ink; it does not pose a safety hazard.

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

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 where there is adequate space for operation and servicing. For details, see Clearance Requirements on page 180.

Place the printer in a dust-free area.

Do not store or operate the printer in an extremely hot, cold, or humid environment. For optimum performance environmental specifications, see Environmental Specifications on page 181.

Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight of the printer. The base printer weight, without any packaging materials, is approximately 27.4 kg (60.5 lb.).

Do not place the printer near a heat source.

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

Place the printer in an area within a temperature range of 10°–32°C / 50°–90°F and a relative humidity range of 10–80% non-condensing.

Operational Guidelines

Do not open or remove the paper source tray that you selected in either the printer driver or control panel while the printer is printing.

Do not open the doors while the printer is printing.

Do not move the printer while it is printing.

Do not move the printer while the ink is still hot; wait 30 minutes for the printer to cool down after shutting down using the shutdown sequence. For details, see Precautions for Moving the Printer on page 137.

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

Use the printer at elevations below 2480 m (8,000 ft.)
