1 Notes on the printing system documentation
1.1 Overview
The purpose of this documentation is to ensure that all printing system-related work is car-
ried out safely and correctly. It contains safety directives that must be strictly observed.
Each section is divided into small, easy-to-understand subject areas. The beginning of each
section contains an overview to help you quickly find the precise information you are looking
for.
This section contains information on the following topics:
1.2 Signposts >>> page 2
1.3 Using "Help" >>> page 3
1.4 Symbols in the text >>> page 9
1.5 Symbols in diagrams and illustrations >>> page 10
1.6 Other documents >>> page 12
1.7 Manufacturer of the printing system >>> page 12
1.8 Statutory requirements >>> page 13
Note
The illustrations and descriptions in this documentation are generally based on the
control panel for mouse operation.

1.2 Signposts

1.2 Signposts
This section 2 Safety gives you all necessary information on how to safely and efficiently
operate the printing system.
The structure of the printing system is graphically displayed in section 3 Description of the
printing system. It contains a short overview of the operating controls and gives you an
overview of the different paper paths for the various printing modes
(e.g. simplex printing, duplex printing, etc.).
The section 4 Operator panel describes the individual areas of the operator panel with the
most important symbols and buttons. You will also learn how to navigate in the menus, set
parameters and start and complete the replacement of consumables and expendables.
Section 5 Operating the printing system explains how to power the printing system on and
off, how to fill, remove and replace paper and how to set up a print job.
Section 6 Cleaning the printing system explains the intervals to be followed for cleaning
the different assemblies.
Section 7 Replacing consumables and expendables describes in detail all steps required
to replace consumables or expendables.
Section 8 Correcting errors will help you eliminate paper jams or distortions of the print im-
age.
The context-sensitive direct help on the operator panel provides information on the cause
and correction of specific error or warning messages.
Appendix will provide you with detailed information on all consumables and expendables.
In addition, the required cleaning agents and equipment are described along with the most
important technical data.
Specific subjects can be found more quickly by looking at the detailed index at the end of
the operating manual.
Note
Along with the operating manual, Help is also available in the operator panel of the
printing system. This Help is updated with every new version of the operator panel.

1.3 Using "Help"

1.3.3 Search
6A29246-X17-X-4-7680 / all102.fm
1.3.3 Search
You can access the full text search function via the "Search" tab. The full text search is used
to find one or more specific words in the entire Help. Uppercase or lowercase is not relevant
for the search.
The search results are listed with the title of the corresponding Help topic, and are sorted
by level of matches and the frequency in which the word appears in the Help topic, e. g.:
The circle in the first column indicates the degree of matching. The more filled the circle is,
the better it matches the text that was searched for.
The number in the second column of the search results indicates how often it occurs in the
Help topic.

1.5 Symbols in diagrams and illustrations
If not otherwise indicated, diagrams and illustrations of actions depict the starting position
of the respective component for the described step.
For easier understanding, the diagrams only depict the components that are directly rele-
vant to the immediate context.
Arrows denote the positions where you have to perform an action or observe something in
particular. The color of the arrows denotes the type of actions and the sequence in which
they are performed:

If additional actions are depicted in a dia-
gram, the numbers on the arrows indicate
the sequence in which they are to be car-
ried out, e. g.:
