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.

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	.

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.

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.

•Protective covers, which require tools for the removal, protect the hazard areas within the printer. Do not remove the protective covers.

•Ensure that the rear right cover is attached. To connect an interface cable, open the rear right cover.

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.
