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 the paper source tray that you selected in either the print driver or the control 
panel, when 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 such, away from the exit and feed rollers.
Ozone Release
During print operation, a small quantity of ozone is released. This amount is not large enough to harm 
anyone adversely. However, be sure the room where the printer is being used has adequate ventilation. 
Ventilation is important if you are printing in high volume, or if the printer is being used continuously 
over a long period.
Printer Location
• 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 a dust-free area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing. For 
details, see Selecting a Location for the Printer on page 29.
• Do not store or operate the printer in extreme conditions of heat or humidity. For specifications on 
optimum performance environment, see Environmental Specifications on page 149.
• Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight 
of the printer. The base printer weight without any packaging materials is approximately 19.8 Kg 
(43.6 lb.).
• 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 
unit.
• Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.
• For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 3100 m (10,170 ft.).
