Electrical Safety
General Guidelines
WARNINGS:
•Do not push objects into slots or openings on the printer. Touching a voltage point or
shorting out a part could result in fire or electrical shock.
•Do not remove the covers or guards that are fastened with screws unless you are
installing optional equipment and are instructed to do so. Turn off the printer when
performing these installations. Disconnect the power cord when removing covers and
guards for installing optional equipment. Except for user-installable options, there are
no parts that you can maintain or service behind these covers.
The following are hazards to your safety:
•The power cord is damaged or frayed.
•Liquid is spilled into the printer.
•The printer is exposed to water.
•The printer emits smoke, or the surface is unusually hot.
•The printer emits unusual noise or odors.
•The printer causes a circuit breaker, fuse, or other safety device to activate.
If any of these conditions occur, do the following:
1. Turn off the printer immediately.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Call an authorized service representative.
Laser Safety
This printer complies with laser product performance standards set by governmental, national, and
international agencies and is certified as a Class 1 Laser Product. The printer does not emit hazardous
light because the beam is totally enclosed during all modes of customer operation and maintenance.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in
this manual can result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Safety
Phaser 7100 Color Printer 11
User Guide
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 helps to ensure the continued, safe operation of your
printer.
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.
For more information in the United States and Canada, go to www.xerox.com/environment. In other
markets, please contact your local Xerox representative or go to www.xerox.com/environment_europe.
Printer Location
•Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight
of the printer. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page
122.
•Do not block or cover the slots or openings on the printer. These openings are provided for
ventilation and to prevent overheating of the printer.
•Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing.
•Place the printer in a dust-free area.
•Do not store or operate the printer in an extremely hot, cold, or humid environment.
•Do not place the printer near a heat source.
•Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.
•Do not place the printer where it is directly exposed to the cold air flow from an air conditioning
system.
•Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.
•For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations recommended in Elevation on page 125.
Operational Guidelines
•Do not remove any paper trays while the printer is printing.
•Do not open the doors when the printer is printing.
•Do not move the printer when it is printing.
•Keep hands, hair, neckties, and so on, away from the exit and feed rollers.
•Covers, which require tools for removal, protect the hazard areas within the printer. Do not remove
the protective covers.

Safety

User Guide
Power Cord
•Use the power cord supplied with your printer.
•Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded electrical outlet. Ensure that each end of the
cord is connected securely. If you do not know if an outlet is grounded, ask an electrician to check
the outlet.
•Do not use a ground adapter plug to connect the printer to an electrical outlet that does not have a
ground connection terminal.
WARNING: Avoid the potential of electrical shock by ensuring that the printer is grounded properly.
Electrical products can be hazardous if misused.
•Only use an extension cord or power strip designed to handle the electrical current capacity of the
printer.
•Verify that the printer is plugged into an outlet that is providing the correct voltage and power.
Review the electrical specification of the printer with an electrician if necessary.
•Do not place the printer in an area where people can step on the power cord.
•Do not place objects on the power cord.
•Replace the power cord if it becomes frayed or worn.
•Do not unplug or plug the power cord while the printer is turned on.
•To avoid electrical shock and damage to the cord, grasp the plug when unplugging the power cord.
•The electrical outlet must be near the printer and must be easily accessible.
The power cord is attached to the printer as a plug-in device on the back of the printer. If it is necessary
to disconnect all electrical power from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet.
Printer Supplies
•Use the supplies designed for your printer. The use of unsuitable materials can cause poor
performance and a possible safety hazard.
•Follow all warnings and instructions marked on, or supplied with, the product, options, and supplies.
•Store all consumables in accordance with the instructions given on the package or container.
•Keep all consumables away from the reach of children.
•Never throw toner, print/drum cartridges, or toner containers into an open flame.
•When handling cartridges, for example toner and such, avoid skin or eye contact. Eye contact can
cause irritation and inflammation. Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge, 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 Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage
could vary outside these areas. Please contact your Xerox representative for details.
