Chapter 1 Introduction

Safety notes

Your DocuPrint XJ6C has been carefully designed to give

you years of safe, reliable performance. As with all

electrical equipment, however, there are a few basic

precautions you should take to avoid hurting yourself or

damaging the unit:

1. Read and follow all warnings and instructions marked

on or supplied with the printer.

2. Unplug the printer before you clean it. Use a damp

cloth only; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

3. Place you printer on a firm, solid surface. If you put it

on an unsteady surface, it might fall and become

damaged. If you place the printer on a soft surface,

such as a rug, sofa, or bed, the vents may be blocked,

causing it to overheat.

4. Do not put the printer on or near a heat source, such

as a radiator or heat register. If you put the printer in

any kind of enclosure, make sure it is well ventilated.

5. Do not use your printer near water, or spill liquid of

any kind into it.

6. Be certain that your power source matches the rating

listed on the back of the printer. If you are not sure,

check with your dealer or with your local power

company.

7. Be sure to install the printer near a power outlet that

will remain easily accessible.

8. To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put

anything on it or place it where it will be walked on.

If the cord becomes damaged or frayed, replace it

immediately.

9. The use of an extension cord or power strip with this

printer is not recommended. Check building codes

and insurance requirements before using an extension

cord or power strip. If you are using an extension

cord or power strip with the printer, make sure that

the total of the amperes required by all of the

Xerox DocuPrint XJ6C Ink Jet Printer

equipment on the extension is less than the

extension’s rating. Generally, the total ratings of all

equipment plugged into any one power line should

not exceed 15 amperes. Do not exceed this unless you

know that the power line your equipment is plugged

into has a rating above 15 amperes.

10. You must only use the 3-conductor, 18 AWG, SVT

type, IEC320 style power cord provided with your

printer (e.g., a plug having a third grounding pin).

This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power

outlet. This is a safety feature. To avoid the risk of

electric shock, contact your electrician to replace the

receptacle if you are unable to insert the plug into the

outlet. Never use a ground adapter plug to connect

the printer to a power source receptacle that lacks a

ground connection terminal.

11. Aside from the routine maintenance described in your

printer documentation, do not try to service the

printer yourself. Opening the cover may expose you

to shocks or other hazards. Do not make any

adjustments other than those described in the

documentation, as you might cause damage requiring

extensive repair work.

12. If anything happens that indicates that your printer is

not working properly or has been damaged, unplug it

immediately and have your printer serviced. These

are some of the things to look for:

•The power cord or plug is frayed or damaged.

•Liquid has been spilled into the housing, or the

printer has been exposed to water.

•The printer has been dropped or its cabinet has

been damaged.

•The printer does not function normally when you

are following the operating instructions.
