Working safely with your laser printer

Notes on your safety and operating safety

Working improperly with the printer can result in health hazards and electric shocks, and may even cause fires. Before you unpack the laser printer, you should make yourself familiar with this information regarding your safety and operating safety.

CAUTION

Observe the following information:

Ü Make sure that the power cable is correctly plugged into the socket and that the socket is at all times visible and readily accessible.

Ü

Ü

Do not pull the cable of the power plug as this may damage the cable.

The result could be an electric shock or a fire.

Remove the power plug from the socket if the machine will not be used for an extended period of time.

Ü

Ü

Ü

Ü

Do not remove the power cable from the socket with wet hands as this may result in an electric shock.

Do not move the unit unless the power cable has been removed from the socket. Otherwise, you may damage the cable. The result could be a short-circuit or a fire.

Do not place any heavy objects on the power cable. Do not pull or kink the cable as this can result in damage to the cable. The result could be an electric shock or a fire.

Make sure that the machine is not standing on a cable connected to another machine as this can result in damage to that cable. The result could be a fire or improper functioning of the unit in question.

Ü

Ü

Ü

Make sure that the power supply to the unit has the correct voltage.

Otherwise, the result could be a fire or an electric shock.

Switch off the unit immediately and unplug the power cable if the power supply cable is damaged. Failure to do so could result in a fire or an electric shock. Contact your customer support technical specialist.

Use only extension cables that are designed for at least the maximum power rating of the machine. Extension cables with lower ratings can result in overheating and can even cause a fire.

Introduction 1

Laser safety

This printer is equipped with a laser unit. If the printer is used in accordance with the instructions in the Online User’s Manual, the laser presents no danger.

The radiation emitted is completely absorbed and attenuated by the case.

The laser radiation cannot escape at any time during the printing process.

This printer is certified as a Class I Laser product under the US

Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation

Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and

Safety Act of 1968. This means that the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.

Internal laser radiation

Average radiation output:

1.03 mW at the laser aperture of the print head unit.

Wavelength: 770-810 n

This device works with a laser diode of class 3b with invisible laser radiation. The laser diode and the polygon mirror for sampling are integrated into the laser unit.

The laser unit is NOT AN ITEM TO BE MAINTAINED ON SITE. You should therefore not open it under any circumstance.

CAUTION

Dangerous laser radiation!

Using the printer in a manner other than indicated in this manual may result in exposure to dangerous radiation.

Ü Use the printer only according to the instructions contained in this guide and in the Online User’s Manual.

1-5

1 Introduction

CDRH regulations

On 2 August 1976 the Center for Devices and Radiological Health

(CDRH), part of the US Food and Drug Administration, introduced specifications for all products that operate with laser beams. Products which are to be sold or used in the USA must comply with these statutory requirements without exception. The safety label shown confirms compliance with the CDRH regulations. This label must be attached to all products sold or used in the USA.

Laser safety label

1-6

DANGER

Use the printer only as described in this manual!

Using the controls, adjusting the printer or performing procedures other than specified in this manual may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.

Ü Use the printer only according to the instructions contained in this guide and in the Online User’s Manual.

Introduction

Laser caution label

1

CAUTION

Dangerous laser radiation!

This is a semiconductor laser. The maximum power of the laser diode is

5 mW and the wavelength is 770–810 nm.

Ü Use the printer only according to the instructions contained in this

Guide and in the Online User’s Manual.

Ozone emission

Small quantities of ozone escape during the printing process. These quantities do not represent a health hazard. In spite of this, you should take care that the area in which the machine is located has adequate ventilation, especially when you are printing large quantities of materials or when the machine is being used continuously over a long period of time.

.

Note

When paper is loaded, the orientation is based on the format marks in the paper source units.

What should I watch out for when loading envelopes?

l l

To avoid envelope misfeeds in the laser printer, please observe the following points: l Do not use self-adhesive envelopes or those with a tear-off strip, closures or a window.

l l

Place the envelopes in the tray long edge first.

Place the envelopes in the tray with the flap down so that the upper surface of the envelopes is lying against the side of the tray with the feed roller.

Load envelopes of format B5 with the flap facing down and pointing to the rear of the tray.

Make certain that the flaps are neatly folded back.

4

Only use the power cable supplied with the printer.

The laser printer requires a power supply with minimal voltage and frequency fluctuation. If necessary, ask an electrician for advice.

Power supply: 120-127 V at 50-60 Hz / 220-240 V at 50-60 Hz

Voltage fluctuation: 120V -10%, 127 V +6% / 220-240 V ±10%

Frequency fluctuation: Within 3 Hz

1 Make certain that the printer's power switch is in the “0” (OFF) position.

2

2 Insert the plug on the end of the power cable (supplied) into the power socket of the printer.

3 Insert the other end of the power cable into a power socket.

CAUTION

Ü

Ü

Using the wrong power cable may cause a short-circuit!

Using power cables of inadequate cross-section can lead to overheating of the cable.

Ü Only use an extension cable which has a higher rating than the current consumption of the printer.

Only use cables with a ground connection.

Switching the printer on

CAUTION

Improper handling may result in damage to the printer!

Ü Never switch off the printer while a print job is in progress, the printer is receiving data from the computer (flashing “Ready” indicator on the control panel) or the printer is being reset.

1 Switch the power switch to “I”(ON).

.

The printer is ready for use after approximately 23 seconds.

Saving energy makes sense!

After the printer has not received a print command for approximately

15 minutes, it automatically switches to POWER SAVE mode. If the printer receives a new print job while it is in Power Save mode, or if the top cover is opened, or if the control button is pressed, the printer automatically starts its warm-up phase.
