Safety Instructions 6

❏Slots and openings, located on the sides of the printer, are

provided for ventilation. Keep these slots and openings clear

to allow proper ventilation. Avoid placing the printer on a soft

surface like a bed or a sofa, or in a small enclosed area, as this

restricts ventilation.

❏When using an extension cord, be careful not to exceed its

recommended amperage limit. Also, be sure that all items

plugged into the electrical outlet do not exceed a total of 15

amperes.

❏Never push objects of any kind through cabinet slots as they

may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that

could result in fire or electric shock.

❏Never spill liquid on the printer.

❏Unless specifically instructed in this guide, do not attempt to

service this product yourself. Opening or removing covers

that are marked Do Not Remove exposes you to dangerous

voltage points and other risks. Refer all servicing in those

compartments to a qualified service representative.

❏Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may

result in damage and may require repairs by a qualified

service representative.

❏Unplug the printer and refer servicing to a qualified service

representative under the following conditions:

A. If liquid has entered the printer.

B. If the printer has been exposed to rain or water.

C. If the printer does not operate normally or exhibits a

distinct change in performance.

D. If the printer has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

E. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

7Safety Instructions

❏If you plan to use the printer in Germany, observe the

following:

To provide adequate short-circuit protection and over-

current protection for this printer, the building installation

must be protected by 10 or 16 amp circuit breaker.

Safety Information

Laser safety labels

wWarning:

The use of controls, or the performance of procedures and

adjustments other than those specified in this guide may result

in hazardous radiation exposure.

Internal laser radiation

Max. Radiation Power 1.16 mW

Wave Length 775 to 795 nm

Your printer is a Class 1 laser product

as defined in the IEC60825

specifications. The label shown below

is attached in countries where

required.

This is a Class IIIb Laser Diode Assembly

that has an invisible laser beam. The

printer head unit is NOT A SERVICE ITEM,

Therefore, the printer head unit should

not be opened under any

circumstances. An additional laser

warning label is affixed to the inside of the

printer.

Safety Instructions 8

CDRH regulations

For information about the Center for Devices and Radiological

Health of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, see the online

guide.

Ozone safety

Ozone emission

Ozone gas is generated by laser printers as a by-product of the

printing process. Ozone is produced only when the printer is

printing.

Ozone exposure limit

The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 parts per

million (ppm) expressed as an average time-weighted

concentration over an eight (8) hour period.

The EPSON AcuLaser C2000 laser printer generates less than 0.1

ppm for 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 (see above)

❏Operation in conditions of extremely low humidity

❏Poor room ventilation

❏Long, continuous printing together with any of the above

Printer location

The printer should be located so that the exhaust gases and heat

generated are:

9Safety Instructions

❏Not blown directly into the user’s face

❏Vented directly out of the building whenever possible

For United Kingdom Users

The EPSON AcuLaser C2000 is a page printer which utilizes a

semiconductor laser.

There is no possibility of danger from the laser, provided that the

printer is operated according to the instructions in the guides

provided.

Since radiation emitted by the laser is completely confined within

protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot

escape from the machine during any phase of user operation.

wWarning:

The use of controls, or the performance of procedures and

adjustments other than those specified in this guide may result

in hazardous radiation exposure.

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

diode is 15 mW and the wavelength is 775 to 795 nm.

Use of options

Epson (UK) Limited shall not be liable against any damages or

problems arising from the use of any options or consumable

products other than those designated as Original EPSON

Products or EPSON Approved Products by Epson (UK) Limited.

Safety information

Warning: This appliance must be earthed. Refer to rating plate

for voltage and check that the appliance voltage corresponds to

the supply voltage.
