Safety and environmental notices

Safety notices

There are two levels of safety notices: Danger and Cautions.

Danger hazard level

The word Danger indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of

causing death or serious personal injury.

DANGER notices are numbered <1-1>,<1-2>, and so forth where they appear in

the text of this manual..

Example of a Danger notice:

DANGER

<1-10> Hazardous voltages are present. Do not touch the pins or sockets of

the power receptacle.

Caution hazard level

The word Caution indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of

causing moderate or minor personal injury.

CAUTION notices are numbered <2-1>,<2-2>, and so forth where they appear in

the text of this manual.

Example of a Caution notice:

!CAUTION:

<2-22> Carefully follow all cleaning instructions, using only the materials and

solutions recommended.

Attention notices

The word Attention calls attention to the possibility of damage to a program,

device, system, or data.

Attention notices are not numbered.

Examples of an Attention notice:

Attention: The above openings must always be protected with their covers. Do

not touch inside and do not insert any object into these openings or into the gears.

Safety precautions

in this manual.

The following areas of the printer should be covered for safety reasons:

Attention: The above openings must always be protected with their covers. Do

not touch inside and do not insert any object into these openings or into the gears.

Electrical safety

This printer is inspected and listed by recognized national testing laboratories,

such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) in the U.S.A. and Canadian Standards

Association (CSA) in Canada. Listing of a product by a national testing laboratory

indicates that the product is designed and manufactured in accordance with

national requirements intended to minimize safety hazards. This equipment meets

a very high standard of safety in design and manufacture. Remember, however,

that this product operates under conditions of high electrical potentials and heat

generation, both of which are functionally necessary.

Because the paper used in the printer can burn, you should take normal

precautions to prevent fire. These precautions include common-sense measures,

such as keeping potentially combustible materials (for example, curtains and

chemicals) away from the printer, providing adequate ventilation and cooling,

limiting unattended operation, and having trained personnel available and

assigned to the printer.

Approved power cord and receptacle

DANGER

<1-11> Your country may require an approved power cord and plug.

Ensure that you have the correct power cord and plug. Use this cord and

plug only with an approved, correctly-installed power receptacle.
