•Use only the power cord supplied with this equipment.

•Plug the power cord directly into a correctly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord. If you do not know whether or not an outlet is grounded, consult a qualified electrician

•Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect this equipment to an electrical outlet that lacks a ground connection terminal.

WARNING: You may get a severe electrical shock if the outlet is not correctly grounded.

•Do not place the copier/printer where people may step on or trip on the power cord. Do not place objects on the power cord.

•Do not override or disable electrical or mechanical interlocks.

•Do not obstruct the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent overheating of the machine.

DOCUMENT CENTRE CS 50 USER GUIDE

WARNING: Never push objects of any kind into slots or openings on this equipment. Making a

1 contact with a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.

•If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the power to the machine immediately and disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet. Call an authorized Xerox service representative to correct the problem.

–The machine emits unusual noises or odors.

–The power cord is damaged or frayed.

–A wall panel circuit breaker, fuse, or other safety device has been tripped.

–Liquid is spilled into the copier/printer.

–The machine is exposed to water.

–Any part of the machine is damaged.

Laser safety

CAUTION: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in this documentation may result in a hazardous exposure to laser radiation.

This equipment complies with international safety standards. With specific regard to laser safety, the equipment complies with performance standards for laser products set by government, national, and international agencies as a Class 1 laser product. It does not emit hazardous light, as the beam is totally enclosed during all phases of customer operation and maintenance.

Maintenance safety

•Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the documentation that is supplied with your copier/printer.

•Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause poor performance of the copier/printer, and could create a dangerous condition.

•Use the supplies and cleaning materials only as directed in this manual. Keep all of these materials out of the reach of children.

•Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws. There are no parts behind these covers that you can maintain or service.

Do not perform any maintenance procedures unless you have been trained to do them by a Xerox representative or unless a procedure is specifically described in one of the copier/printer manuals.

Operational safety

Your Xerox equipment 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 will help ensure the continued safe operation of your copier/printer:

•Use the materials and supplies specifically designed for your copier/printer. The use of unsuitable materials may result in poor performance of the machine and possibly a hazardous situation.

•Follow all warnings and instructions that are marked on or supplied with the machine.

•Place the machine in a room that provides adequate space for ventilation and servicing.

•Place the machine on a level, solid surface (not on a thick pile carpet) that has adequate strength to support the weight of the machine.

•Do not attempt to move the machine. A leveling device that was lowered when your machine was installed may damage the carpet or floor.

•Do not locate the machine near a heat source.

•Do not locate the machine in direct sunlight.

•Do not locate the machine in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning system.

•Do not place containers of coffee or other liquid on the machine.

•Do not block or cover the slots and openings on the machine. Without adequate ventilation, the machine may overheat.

•Do not attempt to override any electrical or mechanical interlock devices.

WARNING: Be careful when working in areas identified with this warning symbol. These areas may be very hot and could cause personal injury.

If you need any additional safety information concerning the machine or materials, contact your Xerox representative.
