For the software warranty please see the end user license agreement included with the
software.
If you are an Australian consumer, you should be aware that the Trade Practices Act 1974
and equivalent State and Territory legislation (collectively "the Acts") contain special
provisions designed to protect Australian consumers. Nothing in any Fuji Xerox warranty
material excludes or limits the application of any provision of any of the Acts, where to do
so would contravene the Acts or cause any part of this warranty to be void. In this
warranty material, an implied condition or warranty, the exclusion of which from a
contract with a "Consumer" (as defined in the Acts) would contravene any provision of the
Acts or cause any part or all of this warranty to be void, is called a "Non-excludable
Condition". To the full extent permitted by law, Fuji Xerox’s sole and total liability to the
customer for a breach of any Non-excludable Condition (including for any consequential
loss suffered by the customer) is limited, except as otherwise stated herein, to (at Fuji
Xerox’ option) replacing or repairing the goods, or resupplying, or paying the cost of the
resupply of, the services, in respect of which the breach occurred. Subject to the above, all
conditions and warranties which would or might otherwise be implied in a Consumer
contract, whether by operation of statute, inference from circumstances, industry practice
or otherwise, are excluded.

User safety summary
Your printer and the recommended consumable supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety
requirements. Attention to the following notes will ensure the continued safe operation of your printer.
Electrical Safety
■ Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
■ Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to a power source receptacle that lacks a ground
connection terminal.
■
Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord. If you
do not know whether an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check the outlet.
Warning
Avoid the potential of severe electrical shock by ensuring the printer is properly grounded.
■
Do not place the printer where people may step on the power cord.
■
Do not place objects on the power cord.
■
Do not obstruct the ventilation openings. These openings are provided to prevent overheating of the
printer.
Warning
Do not push objects into slots and openings on the printer. Making a contact with a voltage point or
shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.
■
If you notice unusual noises or odors, switch off the printer power immediately. Disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet. Call an authorized service representative to correct the problem.
■
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device at the back of the printer. In the event it is
necessary to remove all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the power
receptacle.
■
If any of the following conditions occur, switch off the printer power immediately, disconnect the power
cord, and call an authorized service representative.
■
The power cord is damaged or frayed.
■
Liquid is spilled into the printer.
■
The printer is exposed to water.
■
Any part of the printer is damaged.
Maintenance Safety
■
Do not attempt any maintenance procedure that is not specifically described in the documentation
supplied with your printer.
■
Do not use aerosol cleaners. The use of supplies that are not approved may cause poor performance and
could create a dangerous condition.
■
Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are installing optional
equipment and are specifically instructed to do so. Power should be OFF when performing these
installations. Except for user installable options, there are no parts that you can maintain or service behind
these covers.
Operational Safety
Your printer 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 to ensure the continued safe operation of your printer.
■
Use the material and supplies specifically designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials may
result in poor performance and possibly a hazardous situation.
■
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the printer, options and supplies.

■
Place the printer in a dust free area where the temperature range is 50 degrees F to 90 degrees F (10 degrees
C to 32 degrees C) and the relative humidity is 10 percent to 85 percent.
■
Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for ventilation, operation and servicing. The
recommended minimal spacing is 100 cm (39 in.) in front of the printer, 70 cm (28 in.) above the printer,
20 cm (8 in.) behind the printer, and 60 cm (24 in.) on each side of the printer. Do not block or cover the
slots and openings on the printer. Without adequate ventilation, the printer may overheat.
■ For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations below 2,000 meters (6,560 ft.). Performance may
diminish at elevations between 2,000 meters (6,560 ft.) and 3,000 meters (9,840 ft.). Use at elevations above
3,000 meters (9,840 ft.) exceeds operability limits.
■
Do not place the printer near a heat source.
■
Do not place the printer in direct sunlight.
■
Do not place the printer in line with the cold air flow from an air conditioning system.
■ Place the printer on a level, solid surface with adequate strength for the weight of the machine. The base
printer weight without any packaging materials is 68 kg (149 pounds).
■
The printer is heavy, and must be lifted by three people. The illustration below shows the proper technique
for lifting the printer.
■
Follow the recommended procedure when moving the printer from one location to another. Refer to the
Phaser 2135 Setup Poster.
■
Do not place any liquids on the printer.
Warning
Be careful when working in areas inside the printer identified with a warning symbol. These areas
may be very hot and could cause personal injury.
■
Wait 10-15 seconds between switching the printer off and on.
■
Keep hands, hair, neckties, etc., away from the exit feed rollers.
■
Do not remove the media source tray that you have selected in the driver or front panel while printing.
■
Do not remove any trays above the currently selected media source tray

Your printer has several media input sources and output destinations as described below.
Input Sources
■The standard Multi-Sheet Bypass Feeder (MBF) holds up to 100 sheets of standard
75 g/m2(20 lb. bond) paper (up to 50 transparency sheets or a smaller number of
sheets of special media).
■Tray 1 is the standard input tray that holds up to 550 sheets of 75 g/m2(20 lb. bond)
paper or 250 standard or 200 premium transparencies.
■Trays 2-5 are the optional input trays installed below Tray 1. They hold up to
550 sheets of 75 g/m2(20 lb. bond) paper. The capacity of these trays varies based on
the thickness of the paper. Transparencies and glossy paper are not supported from
these trays.
Trays 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 all have paper-size sensing, low-paper sensing, and tray-empty
sensing. Paper levels are indicated on a gauge visible at the front of the tray. When the
level reaches approximately 40 sheets, the front panel displays the low paper warning.
The Multi-Sheet Bypass Feeder (MBF) has tray-empty sensing but not paper-size sensing.
Refer to Selecting Print Media on page 12 for information on supported media.

■The top output tray holds up to 500 sheets of 75 g/m2(20 lb. bond) and receives prints
face-down. It has tray-full detection.
■The side output tray holds up to 100 sheets of 75 g/m2(20 lb. bond) paper and
