Electrical Safety

General Guidelines

WARNINGS:

•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 electrical 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. Turn 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.Turn off the printer immediately.

2.Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

3.Call an authorized service representative.

Laser Safety

This printer complies with laser product performance standards set by governmental, national, and international agencies and is certified as a Class 1 Laser Product. The printer does not emit hazardous light because the beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual can result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Safety

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.

Ozone Release

This printer produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced is dependent on copy 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.

For more information in the United States and Canada, go to www.xerox.com/environment. In other markets, please contact your local Xerox representative or go to www.xerox.com/environment_europe.

Printer Location

•Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight of the printer. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page 122.

•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 in an area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing.

•Place the printer in a dust-free area.

•Do not store or operate the printer in an extremely hot, cold, or humid environment.

•Do not place the printer near a heat source.

•Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.

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

•Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.

•For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations recommended in Elevation on page 125.

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.

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.

•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 grounded properly. Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.

•Only use an extension cord or power strip designed to handle the electrical current capacity of the printer.

•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.

•Replace the power cord if it becomes frayed or worn.

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

•To avoid electrical shock and damage to the cord, grasp the plug when unplugging 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 of the printer. If it is necessary to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Printer Supplies

•Use the supplies designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials can cause poor performance and a possible safety hazard.

•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the product, options, and supplies.

•Store all consumables in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container.

•Keep all consumables away from the reach of children.

•Never throw toner, print/drum cartridges, or toner containers into an open flame.

•When handling cartridges, for example toner and such, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can cause irritation and inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge, which can increase the risk of skin or eye contact.

CAUTION: Use of non-Xerox® supplies is not recommended. The Xerox® Warranty, Service Agreement, and Total Satisfaction Guarantee do not cover damage, malfunction, or degradation of performance caused by use of non-Xerox® supplies, or the use of Xerox® supplies not specified for this printer. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage could vary outside these areas. Please contact your Xerox representative for details.

Installation and Setup

Installation and Setup Overview

Before printing, your computer and the printer must be plugged in, turned on, and connected. Configure the initial settings of the printer, then install the driver software and utilities on your computer.

You can connect to your printer directly from your computer using USB, or connect over a network using an Ethernet cable or wireless connection. Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately. Xerox recommends an Ethernet connection because it is typically faster than a USB connection, and it provides access to CentreWare Internet Services.

For details on configuring the printer settings, see the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/7100docs.

Selecting a Location for the Printer

1.Select a dust-free area with temperatures from 10–32°C (50–90°F), and relative humidity 15–85%.

Note: Sudden temperature fluctuations can affect print quality. Rapid heating of a cold room can cause condensation inside the printer, directly interfering with image transfer.

2.Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength for the weight of the printer. The printer must be horizontal with all four feet in solid contact with the surface. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page 122. Select a location with adequate clearance to access supplies and to provide proper ventilation. To find the clearance requirements for your printer, see Clearance Requirements on page 123.

After positioning the printer, you are ready to connect it to the power source and computer or network.

Selecting a Connection Method

The printer can be connected using a USB cable, an Ethernet cable, or an optional Xerox® Wireless Network Adapter. The method you select depends on how your computer is connected to the network.

Note: The wireless network adapter installs into the Ethernet connector, replacing the Ethernet cable. Ethernet and USB can be connected at the same time.

A USB connection is a direct connection and is the easiest to set up. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. If you are using a network connection, it is important to understand how your computer is connected to the network.

Installation and Setup

Note: Hardware and cabling requirements vary for the different connection methods. Routers, network hubs, network switches, modems, Ethernet cables, and USB cables are not included with your printer and must be purchased separately.

•Network: If your computer is connected to an office network or home network, use an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. You cannot connect the printer directly to the computer. It must be connected through a router or hub. An Ethernet network can be used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. Ethernet connection is typically faster than USB and allows you direct access to the settings of the printer using CentreWare Internet Services.

•Wireless Network: For printers with the optional wireless network, you can connect the printer to the network through a wireless router or wireless access point. A wireless network connection provides the same access and services as a wired connection provides. A wireless network connection is typically faster than USB and allows direct access to printer settings using CentreWare Internet Services.

Note: For details on configuring wireless network settings, see the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/7100docs.

•USB: If you connect the printer to one computer and do not have a network, use a USB connection. A USB connection offers fast data speeds, but typically not as fast as an Ethernet connection. In addition, a USB connection does not provide access to CentreWare Internet Services.

Physically Connecting the Printer to the Network

Use a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network. An Ethernet network is used for one or more computers and supports many printers and systems simultaneously. An Ethernet connection provides direct access to printer settings using CentreWare Internet Services.

To connect the printer:

1.Connect the power cord to the printer, and plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

2.Connect one end of a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the printer. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to a correctly configured network port on a hub or router.

3.Turn on the printer.

Note: For details on configuring wireless network settings, see the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/7100docs.
