such, a full risk assessment per EN 1050 and a full mechanical and machinery assessment
per EN 292-2 + A1, Annex 1 was performed. As the equipment is primarily information
technology equipment (large format printer receiving print data from a computer terminal),
and is within the scope of EN 60950 (mains operated ITE equipment under 600V
including plotters and photoprinters - clause 1.1.1, EN 60950: 2000), a full electrical
evaluation was performed per EN 60950: 2000.

1T220 Product Overview
1.1General Description
The Arizona T220 is a six color digital inkjet printer capable of producing large format
images on various rigid and flexible stock materials. The printer consists of a large
vacuum table and moving gantry. The material is held flat and stationary on the
vacuum table during printing. Printing occurs as the gantry moves from one end of the
table to the other. The printer uses solvent-based inks. An infrared heater attached to
the gantry provides curing of the ink on the media. The Arizona T220 must be operated
in accordance with certain environmental and safety reqirements noted in this
document.

(MSDS) for each ink. Post the document in the work area as required by prevailing law.
MSDS for all six inks and the CGS80 solvent are available via the Internet.
1. Go to www.3m.com
2. Click on Search, MSDS
3. Select 3M ID Number
4. Enter one of the following 11 digit numbers:
• 75-3470-3042-3 T2295 Black

Personal Safety
The operator should wear butyl rubber gloves, a protective apron, an NIOSH-approved
respirator (half-mask organic vapor respirator), and Safety glasses with side shields
when handling inks.
Risks Associated with Handling Inks
The Arizona T220 uses solvent-based inks; the liquid and the fumes are combustible.
The inks may cause eye irritation or skin irritation upon prolonged or repeated contact.
The inks may be absorbed through the skin, and may cause respiratory system irritation
and nervous system impairment.
Note: These numbers are printed on the cardboard box for the ink and on the ink
bottles themselves.

Safety Information |
10/16/03 1-5
What to do with Ink Spills on Surfaces
Observe precautions as noted above, then:
a) Ventilate the area;
b) Contain the spill;
c) Cover with absorbent material;
d) Collect spilled absorbent material;
e) Place in a closed container;
f) Clean up residue with water (do not release to waterways or sewer);
g) Incinerate in a permitted hazardous waste incinerator.
What to do with Ink Spills on Persons
•Eye contact: immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water. Get
immediate medical attention.
•Skin contact: flush skin with large amounts of water. If irritation persists,
get medical attention.
•Inhalation: remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, get immediate
medical attention and give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, get
immediate medical attention.
•If swallowed: call a physician immediately. Only induce vomiting at the
instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an
unconscious person.
IR Heater
Two infared heaters mounted on the gantry are used to dry the ink during printing. Each
heater has two 3kw elements. The printer uses 3 of the 4 possible elements thus
providing a maximum of 9kw of heat. The carriage passes under the heater and has a
protective cover that reflects heat. The heater operates automatically and does not
require operator intervention.
Caution:
Keep hands clear of the heater assembly. This area will be hot during
and right after printing.
