Ozone Safety
Power Saver
During normal operation, the Samsung ML-7300 Series printer
produces ozone. The ozone produced does not present a hazard
to the operator. However, it is advisable that the machine be
operated in a well ventilated area.
If you need additional information about ozone, please contact
your nearest Samsung dealer.
This printer contains advanced energy conservation technology
that reduces power consumption when it is not in active use.
When the printer does not receive data for an extended period of
time, power consumption is automatically lowered.
The energy star emblem does not represent PA endorsement of
any product or service.
