Communications Statements for Class B Devices
Federal Communication Notices Commission (FCC) Statement
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult an IBM authorized dealer or service representative for help.
Properly shielded and grounded cables and connectors (IBM partnumber 68X3949 or its
equivalent for PC parallel) must be used in order to meet FCC emission limits. Proper cables
and connectors are available from IBM authorized dealers. IBM is not responsible for any radio
or television interference caused by using other than recommended cables and connectors or
by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or
modifications could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Notices ix
Safety Notices
There are three levels of safety notices:
DANGER calls attention to a situation that is potentially or extremely
hazardous to people.
CAUTION calls attention to a situation that is potentially hazardous to people.
Attention calls attention to the possibility of damage to a program, device,
system, or data. Attention notices are located throughout this publication,
but are not listed here.
Translations of the safety notices used in this library are found in
IBM
Network Color Printer: Safety Information
, G544-5352. This manual is
shipped with the printer and is provided with the maintenance
documentation.
Safety Precautions
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. IBM 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 and toner 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.
Laser Safety
This printer complies with the performance standards set the by U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that the
printer belongs to a class of laser products that does not produce hazardous
laser radiation in a customer access area. This classification was
accomplished by providing the necessary protective housing and scanning
safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible or within Class 1
limits.
There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved,
removed, or replaced only by trained service personnel. There are no
operator controls or adjustments associated with the laser.

xAdministrator’s Guide
No operator maintenance is required to keep the product in compliance as a
Class 1 Laser Product. No adjustments that affect laser operation or power
are accessible to the operator.
Note: See IBM Network Color Printer: Safety Information for national
language translations regarding laser safety.
Disposal of Materials
This printer may contain materials, either as components or supplies that are
regulated by government agencies for disposal. Dispose of all such items in
accordance with your governmental agencies’ regulations.
CAUTION:CAUTION:CAUTION:
This printer may contain materials, either components or consumable
supplies, that are regulated for disposal. Dispose of all items in accordance
with local regulations.
