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' 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’ 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’ 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.
User safety summary
Your printer and the recommended consumable supplies have been designed and tested
to meet strict safety requirements. Attention to the following notes will ensure the
continued safe operation of your printer.
Electrical Safety
Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
■
Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to a power source
■
receptacle that lacks a ground connection terminal.
Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use
■
an extension cord. If you do not know whether an outlet is grounded, ask an
electrician to check the outlet.
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
Do not push objects into slots and openings on the printer. Making a contact
with a voltage point or shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical
shock.
■
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.
■
If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the printer power immediately,
disconnect the power cord, and call an authorized service representative.
The power cord is damaged or frayed.
■
Liquid is spilled into the printer.
■
The printer is exposed to water.
■
Any part of the printer is damaged.
■
Maintenance Safety
Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the
■
documentation supplied with your printer.
■
Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause
poor performance and could create a dangerous condition.
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. Except for user installable
options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.
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 will help to ensure the continued safe
operation of your printer.
Use the material and supplies specifically designed for your printer. The use of
■
unsuitable materials may result in poor performance and possibly a hazardous
situation.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the printer,
■
options and supplies.
Place the printer in a dust free, well ventilated area where the temperature range is
■
5 degrees C to 35 degrees C (41 degrees F to 95 degrees F) and the relative
humidity is 15 percent to 85 percent.
Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation,
■
operation and servicing. The recommended minimal spacing is 92.5 cm (36.5 in.)
in front of and above the printer, 20.3 cm (8 in.) behind the printer, and 30.5 cm
(12.0 in.) on each side of the printer. Do not block or cover the slots and openings
on the printer. Without adequate ventilation, the printer may overheat.
For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 2,500 meters
■
(8,200 ft.). Use at elevations above 2,500 meters (8,200 ft.) exceeds operability
limits.
■
Do not place the printer near a heat source.
■
Do not place the printer in direct sunlight.
■
Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning
system.
Place the printer on a level, solid surface with adequate strength for the weight of
■
the machine. The base printer weight without any packaging materials is 53 kg
(117 lbs.).
■
The printer is heavy, and must be lifted by two people. The illustration below
shows the proper technique for lifting the printer.

Loading Media
Loading media in Tray 1, 2, or 3 or the Custom Paper Tray
You can load many sizes of media in trays 1, 2, and 3 and the Custom
Paper Tray. (Tray 3 is part of the optional 2,500-Sheet Feeder. The
optional Custom Paper Tray replaces Tray 1, Tray 2, or Tray 3.) Refer
to page 12 for the sizes that you can load in each tray.
1. Pull out the tray until it stops. (Tray 1 is shown.)
4525-08
Note
If you must remove a paper tray (such as to replace it with the
Custom Paper Tray), place the tray on a flat, solid surface. If
you place the tray on a rug, the springs and wires on the
underside of the tray may catch and break, which disables
the tray-size sensing.
2. Prepare a stack of paper, making sure that the tops of the sheets
are aligned.
