Safety Notes
Your WorkCentre and supplies have been designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements.
These include safety agency examination and approval, and compliance to established environmental
standards. Please read the following instructions carefully before operating the WorkCentre and refer
to them as needed to ensure the continued safe operation of your WorkCentre.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or supplied with the product.
Symbology: = High Voltage, = Heated Surface, != Warning
= Laser Caution use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
Unplug this WorkCentre from the wall outlet before cleaning. Always use materials specifically
designated for this WorkCentre. Use of other materials may result in poor performance and could
create a hazardous situation.
Do not use aerosol cleaners. Follow the instructions in this User Guide for proper cleaning methods.
Never use supplies or cleaning materials for purposes other than what they were intended. Keep all
supplies and materials out of reach of children.
Do not use this WorkCentre near water, wet locations, or outdoors.
Do not place this WorkCentre on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The WorkCentre may fall, causing
personal injury or serious damage to the WorkCentre.
This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug (e.g., a plug having a third grounding
pin). This plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. To avoid risk
of electric shock, contact your electrician to replace the receptacle if you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet. Never use a grounding adapter plug to connect the WorkCentre to a power source
receptacle that lacks a ground connection terminal.
This WorkCentre should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your local power company.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the WorkCentre where persons will
step on the cord.
The power supply cord is the disconnect device for this equipment. Insure that installation is near
the outlet and is easily accessible.
Your machine is equipped with an energy saving device to conserve power when the machine is not
in use. The machine may be left on continuously.

2
Safety Notes
Slots and Openings in the cabinet and in the back and sides of the WorkCentre are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the WorkCentre and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The WorkCentre should never be located near or over a
radiator or heat register. This WorkCentre should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper
ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into the slots of the WorkCentre as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts which could result in a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the WorkCentre.
Never remove covers or guards that require a tool for removal. There are no casual operator
serviceable areas within these covers.
Never defeat interlock switches. Machines are designed to restrict operator access to unsafe areas.
Covers, guards, and interlock switches are provided to ensure that the machine will not operate with
covers opened.
Use of an extension cord with this WorkCentre is not recommended or authorized.
Avoid direct viewing of the document lights. The lamps are bright and, while not harmful, they may
cause an annoying afterimage. Always keep the document cover closed during operation and
storage.
Avoid exposing the drum cartridge to light for extended periods of time.
Do not touch the green photoreceptor. Scratches or smudges that appear on the photoreceptor will
result in poor copy quality and may shorten the service life.
Do not put your hands into the fuser area, as you may be burned.
Ozone: This product produces ozone during normal operation. The ozone produced is dependent
on copy volume and is heavier than air. Providing the correct environmental parameter, as specified
in the Xerox installation procedures, ensure that concentration levels meet safe limits.
If you need additional safety information concerning the WorkCentre or Xerox supplied materials, you
may call the following toll-free number.
In the United States or Canada: 1 – 800 – 828 – 6571
