Maintenance safety
•Do not attempt any maintenance procedure
that is not specifically described in the
documentation that is supplied with your
copier/printer.
•Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of
supplies that are not approved may cause
poor performance of the copier/printer, and
could create a dangerous condition.
•Use the supplies and cleaning materials only
as directed in this manual. Keep all of these
materials out of the reach of children.
•Do not remove the covers or guards that are
fastened with screws. There are no parts
behind these covers that you can maintain or

Operational safety
Your Xerox equipment and supplies were
designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements. These include safety agency
examination, approval, and compliance with
established environmental standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines
will help ensure the continued safe operation of
your copier/printer:
•Use the materials and supplies specifically
designed for your copier/printer. The use of
unsuitable materials may result in poor
performance of the machine and possibly a
hazardous situation.
•Follow all warnings and instructions that are
marked on or supplied with the machine.
•Place the machine in a room that provides
adequate space for ventilation and servicing.
•Place the machine on a level, solid surface
(not on a thick pile carpet) that has adequate
strength to support the weight of the machine.
•Do not attempt to move the machine. A
leveling device that was lowered when your
machine was installed may damage the
carpet or floor.
•Do not locate the machine near a heat source.
•Do not locate the machine in direct sunlight.

•Do not locate the machine in line with the cold
air flow from an air conditioning system.
•Do not place containers of coffee or other
liquid on the machine.
•Do not block or cover the slots and openings
on the machine. Without adequate ventilation,
the machine may overheat.
•Do not attempt to override any electrical or
mechanical interlock devices.
WARNING: Be careful when working in areas
identified with this warning symbol. These areas
may be very hot and could cause personal injury.
If you need any additional safety information
concerning the machine or materials, contact your
Xerox representative.
Ozone safety
This product produces ozone during normal
operation. The ozone is heavier than air, and the
quantity is dependent on copy volume. Providing
the correct environmental parameters, as
specified in the Xerox installation procedures,
ensures that concentration levels meet safe limits.
If you need additional information about ozone,
request the Xerox publication, OZONE,
600P83222, by calling 1-800-828-6571 in the
USA. For a French language version, call 1-800-
828-6571 in the USA, then press 2.
