XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO CONFIGURING AND MANAGING THE SYSTEM iii
Laser safety
!Warning: Adjustments, use of controls, or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
hazardous light exposure.
The Xerox DocuPrint printers are certified to comply with the
performance standards of the U.S. Department of Health, Education,
and Welfare for Class 1 laser products. Class 1 laser products do not
emit hazardous radiation. The DocuPrint printers do not emit
hazardous radiation because the laser beam is completely enclosed
during all modes of customer operation.
The laser danger labels on the system are for Xerox service
representatives and are on or near panels or shields that must be
removed with a tool. DO NOT REMOVE LABELED PANELS OR
PANELS NEAR LABELS. ONLY XEROX SERVICE
REPRESENTATIVES HAVE ACCESS TO THESE PANELS.
Ozone information
This product produces ozone during normal operation. The amount
of ozone produced depends on copy volume. Ozone is heavier than
air. The environmental parameters specified in the Xerox installation
instructions ensure that concentration levels are within safe limits. If
you need additional information concerning ozone, call 1-800-828-
6571 to request the Xerox publication 600P83222, OZONE.
Operation safety
Your Xerox equipment and supplies have been designed and tested
to meet strict safety requirements. They have been approved by
safety agencies, and they comply with environmental standards.
Please observe the following precautions to ensure your continued
safety.
•Always connect equipment to a properly grounded electrical
outlet. If in doubt, have the outlet checked by a qualified
electrician.
!Warning: Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor may result in risk of electrical shock.

iv XEROX DOCUPRINT NPS GUIDE TO CONFIGURING AND MANAGING THE SYSTEM
•Never use a ground adapter plug to connect equipment to an
electrical outlet that lacks a ground connection terminal.
•Always place equipment on a solid support surface with
adequate strength for its weight.
•Always use materials and supplies specifically designed for
your Xerox equipment. Use of unsuitable materials may result in
poor performance and may create a hazardous situation.
•Never move either the printer or the Printer Controller without
first contacting Xerox for approval.
•Never attempt any maintenance that is not specifically
described in this documentation.
•Never remove any covers or guards that are fastened with
screws. There are no operator-serviceable areas within these
covers.
•Never override electrical or mechanical interlocks.
•Never use supplies or cleaning materials for other than their
intended purposes. Keep all materials out of the reach of
children.
•Never operate the equipment if you notice unusual noises or
odors. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet and
call service to correct the problem.
If you need any additional safety information concerning the
equipment or materials Xerox supplies, call Xerox Product Safety at
the following toll-free number in the United States:
