Safety Instructions 2

❏Be sure the AC power cord meets the relevant local safety standards. Use only the power cord that
comes with this product. Use of the another cord may result in fire or electric shock. This product’s
power cord is for use with this product only. Use with other equipment may result in fire or electric
shock.
❏If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses
in the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
❏Use a grounded outlet that matches the printer’s power plug. Do not use an adapter plug.
❏Avoid using an electrical outlet that is controlled by wall switches or automatic timers. Accidental
disruption of power can erase valuable information in your computer’s and printer’s memory.
❏Make sure that there is no dust on the socket.
❏Be sure to insert the plug completely into the electrical outlet.
❏Do not handle the plug with wet hands.
❏Unplug this printer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to a qualified service representative
under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into it.
C. If it has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If it does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment
of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to normal operation.
E. If it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. If it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
❏Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.
❏Connect all equipment to properly grounded power outlets. Avoid using outlets on the same
circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on and off.

Safety Instructions 3

❏Connect your printer to an electrical outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer.
Your printer’s power requirements are indicated on a label attached to the printer. If you are not
sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or consult
your dealer.
❏If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
❏When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a
connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
❏When you use optional paper cassette unit, be sure to install the positioning pins correctly. For
instructions on how to install the positioning pins, refer to the Printer/Copier/Scanner User’s
Guide.
Finding the place for the printer
❏Place the printer near an electrical outlet where you can easily plug in and unplug the power cord.
❏Do not put your printer where the cord will be stepped on.
❏Do not use printer in a damp environment.
❏Avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, oil vapor, or dust.
❏Do not place the printer on an unstable surface.
❏Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. Do not
block or cover them. Do not put the printer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface or in a
built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
❏Keep the entire computer and printer system away from potential sources of interference, such as
loudspeakers or the base units of cordless telephones.
❏Leave adequate room around the printer to allow for sufficient ventilation.

Safety Instructions 4

Using the printer
❏Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION, or the surrounding areas. If the
printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot. If you must touch one
of these areas, wait 40 minutes to allow the heat to subside before doing so.
* CAUTION
❏Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause
injury.
❏Never push objects of any kind through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
❏Do not sit or lean on the printer. Do not put heavy objects on the printer.
❏Do not use any kind of combustible gases in or around the printer.
❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy,
rough handling can damage it.
❏Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause the printer to overheat.
❏Never spill liquid of any kind on the printer.
❏Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and may require repair by a qualified service representative.
❏Do not turn off the printer:
-After turning on the printer, wait until Ready appears on the LCD panel.
-While printing or during other operations, such as writing data to external devices.
❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.

Safety Instructions 5

❏Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
❏Except as specifically explained in the printer’s documentation, do not attempt to service this
product yourself.
❏Periodically disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet and clean the blades.
❏Do not disconnect the plug while the printer is on.
❏If the printer will not be used for a long time, disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet.
❏Unplug this printer from the wall outlet before cleaning.
❏Use a well-wrung cloth for cleaning and do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
❏When moving the printer, always keep it horizontal.
❏Do not remove jammed paper by force. Torn paper can be difficult to remove and might cause
other paper jams. Pull the paper gently and steadily to avoid tearing it, falling down, and injuring
yourself.
❏Do not pull the power cable when disconnecting the plug. Always be sure to hold the plug when
disconnecting it.
❏Do not let the paper’s edge slide across your skin because the edge of the paper may cut you.
❏When transporting the printer, turn it off and unplug the power cable from the electrical outlet. Be
sure to disconnect all cables.
Handling the consumables
❏Do not burn used consumables because they might explode and injure someone. Dispose of them
according to local regulations.
❏Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of children.
❏When handling an imaging cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.
❏Do not attempt to modify an imaging cartridge or take it apart.
❏Do not touch the toner. Always keep toner away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or
clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately.
❏If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up.
Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not
use a vacuum cleaner.
Epson AcuLaser CX37 Series Safety Information Guide
Safety Instructions 6

❏Wait at least one hour before using an imaging cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm
environment to prevent damage from condensation.
❏To get the best print quality, do not store the imaging cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight,
dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid
changes in temperature or humidity.
❏When removing the imaging cartridge, do not expose it to sunlight at all and avoid exposing it to
room light for more than five minutes. The imaging cartridge contains a light-sensitive drum.
Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on the printed page
and reducing the service life of the drum. If you need to keep the imaging cartridge out of the
printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth.
❏Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the imaging cartridge from the
printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from your
skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
❏Do not let the paper’s edge slide across your skin because the edge of the paper may cut you.

only when the printer is printing.
Ozone exposure limit
The Epson laser printer generates less than 3 mg/h 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
❏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:
