1. CAUTION HOT SURFACE
2. Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit.
❏Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause 
injury.
❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.
❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, 
rough handling can damage it.

cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
❏If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. 
Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do 
not use a vacuum cleaner.
❏Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm 
environment to prevent damage from condensation.

❏Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the photoconductor unit 
from the printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil 
from your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
❏To get the best print quality, do not store the toner cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight, 
dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or 
rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
❏To get the best print quality, when you temporarily remove the toner cartridge, the developer 
unit, and the photoconductor unit from the printer, do not expose them to room light any 
longer than necessary.

time-weighted concentration over an eight (8) hour period.
The Epson laser printer generates less than 0.1 ppm for eight (8) hours of continuous printing.
Minimize the risk
To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the following conditions: 
❏Use of multiple laser printers in a confined area
❏Operation in conditions of extremely low humidity
❏Poor room ventilation
❏Long, continuous printing together with any of the above
