inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble supplies, which can increase the risk of skin or eye
contact.
CAUTION: Use of non-Xerox supplies is not recommended. The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement,
and Total Satisfaction Guarantee do not cover damage, malfunction, or degradation of performance
caused by use of non-Xerox supplies, or the use of Xerox supplies not specified for this printer. The

Vacuum Cleaner Use for Toner Spills
Use a broom or wet cloth to wipe off spilled toner. To minimize generation of dust particles, sweep or
wipe slowly. Avoid using a vacuum. If you must use a vacuum, ensure the unit is designed to contain
combustible dusts. Ensure that the vacuum includes an explosion rated motor and non-conductive hose.
Ozone Release
This printer produces ozone during normal operation. The amount of ozone produced is dependent on
copy volume. Ozone is heavier than air and is not produced in amounts large enough to harm anyone.
Install the printer in a well-ventilated room.
