    Warnings
    must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
    c
    Cautions
    must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
    Notes 
    contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your printer.
    Safety precautions
    Be sure to follow the precautions carefully to ensure safe, efficient operation:
    ❏Because the printer weighs approximately 28 kg (61.7 lb) with consumable products installed, 
    one person should not lift or carry it. Two people should carry the printer, lifting it by the 
    correct positions as shown below.

    Safety Instructions15
    ❏Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE, or the 
    surrounding areas. If the printer has been in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be 
    very hot. If you must touch one of these areas, wait 30 minutes to allow the heat to subside 
    before doing so.
    1. CAUTION HIGH TEMPERATURE
    2. Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit.
    ❏Do not insert your hand deep into the fuser unit as some components are sharp and may cause 
    injury.
    ❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.
    ❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, 
    rough handling can damage it.
    ❏When handling an imaging cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.
    ❏Do not attempt to modify an imaging cartridge or take it apart. It cannot be refilled.
    ❏Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes.
    ❏Do not dispose of used imaging cartridge or transfer unit in fire, as they can explode and cause 
    injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.
    ❏If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. 
    Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do 
    not use a vacuum cleaner.
    ❏Wait at least one hour before using an imaging cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm 
    environment to prevent damage from condensation.

    Safety Instructions16
    ❏When removing the imaging cartridge, do not expose it to sunlight at all and avoid exposing it 
    to room light for more than five minutes. The imaging cartridge contains a light-sensitive drum 
    that is purple. Exposure to light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear on 
    the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If you need to keep the imaging 
    cartridge out of the printer for long periods, cover it with an opaque cloth.
    ❏Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the imaging cartridge from 
    the printer, always place it on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the drum, since oil from 
    your skin can permanently damage its surface and affect print quality.
    ❏To get the best print quality, do not store the imaging cartridge in an area subject to direct 
    sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to 
    extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
    ❏Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of children.
    ❏Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause the printer to overheat.
    ❏Avoid sharing outlets with other appliances.
    ❏Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer.
    Important Safety Instructions
    Read all of the following instructions before operating your printer:
    When choosing a place and power source for the printer
    ❏Place the printer near an electrical outlet where you can easily plug in and unplug the power 
    cord.
    ❏Do not place the printer on an unstable surface.
    ❏Do not put your printer where the cord will be stepped on.
    ❏Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. Do not 
    block or cover them. Do not put the printer on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface or in a 
    built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
    ❏All interface connectors for this printer are Non-LPS (non-limited power source).
    ❏Connect your printer to an electrical outlet that meets the power requirements of this printer. 
    Your printer’s power requirements are indicated on a label attached to the printer. If you are 
    not sure of the power supply specifications in your area, contact your local power company or 
    consult your dealer.
    ❏If you are unable to insert the AC plug into the electrical outlet, contact an electrician.

    Safety Instructions17
    ❏Avoid using outlets that other appliances are plugged into.
    ❏Use the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power 
    available, consult your dealer or local power company.
    ❏If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician.
    ❏When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct 
    orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a 
    connector in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
    ❏If you use an extension cord, make sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the products 
    plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
    ❏Unplug this printer from the wall outlet and refer servicing to a qualified service representative 
    under the following conditions:
    When using the printer 
    ❏The printer weighs about 28 kg (61.7 lb). One person should not attempt to lift or carry the 
    printer. Two people should carry it.
    ❏Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the printer.
    ❏Unplug this printer from the wall outlet before cleaning.
    ❏Use a well-wrung cloth for cleaning and do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
    ❏Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless instructed to do so in this guide.
    ❏Never force printer components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, 
    rough handling can damage it.
    ❏Be sure to keep consumables out of the reach of children. A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
    B. If liquid has been spilled into it.
    C. If it has been exposed to rain or water.
    D. If it does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only 
    those controls that are covered by the operating instructions since improper adjustment 
    of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a 
    qualified technician to restore the product to normal operation.
    E. If it has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
    F. If it exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.

    Internal laser radiation
    This is a Class III b Laser Diode Assembly that has an invisible laser beam. The printer head unit is 
    NOT A SERVICE ITEM, therefore, the printer head unit should not be opened under any 
    circumstances. An additional laser warning label is affixed to the inside of the printer.
    Ozone safety
    Ozone emission
    Ozone gas is generated by laser printers as a by-product of the printing process. Ozone is produced 
    only when the printer is printing.
    Ozone exposure limit
    The recommended exposure limit for ozone is 0.1 parts per million (ppm) expressed as an average 
    time-weighted concentration over an eight (8) hour period.
    The Epson laser printer generates less than 0.1 ppm for eight (8) hours of continuous printing.
    Minimize the risk
    To minimize the risk of exposure to ozone, you should avoid the following conditions: 
    ❏Use of multiple laser printers in a confined area
    ❏Operation in conditions of extremely low humidity
    ❏Poor room ventilation
    ❏Long, continuous printing together with any of the above
    Printer location 
    The printer should be located so that the exhaust gases and heat generated are:
    ❏Not blown directly into the user’s face
    ❏Vented directly out of the building whenever possible
    Power On/Off Cautions
    Do not turn off the printer:Max. Average Radiation Power: 5 mW at laser aperture
    Wavelength: 770 to 800 nm
