reliability.
●Dissimilar materials have been designed to separate easily.
●Fasteners and other connections are easy to locate, access, and remove using common tools.
●High-priority parts have been designed so that they can be accessed quickly for efficient
disassembly and repair.
Product packaging
The packaging materials for this printer have been selected to provide maximum protection for the
least cost possible, while attempting to minimize environmental impact and facilitate recycling. The
rugged design of the printer assists in minimizing both packaging materials and damage rates.
Plastics
Plastic parts over 25 grams are marked according to international standards that enhance the ability
to identify plastics for recycling purposes at the end of the products life.
