SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL NOTES FOR DISPOSAL

1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly

when exposed to an open flame.

2. Dispose of used toner, the maintenance unit which includes developer or the

organic photoconductor in accordance with local regulations. (These are

non-toxic supplies.)

3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.

4. When keeping used lithium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do not

put more than 100 batteries per sealed box. Storing larger numbers or not

sealing them apart may lead to chemical reactions and heat build-up.

LASER SAFETY

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of

laser-based optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired

in a factory or at a location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is

replaceable in the field by a qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not

repairable in the field. Customer engineers are therefore directed to return all

chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or service depot when replacement of

the optical subsystem is required.

Use of controls, or adjustment, or performance of procedures other than

those specified in this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING: Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the

procedures in the Laser Optics Housing Unit section. Laser

beams can seriously damage your eyes.
