UV Lamps

UV lamps used by the printer to cure printing materials contain a small amount
of mercury. In the unlikely event of lamp breakage, avoid inhaling mercury
vapor, and ventilate the room. If the lamp ruptures (breaks) during operation,
leave the room and ventilate it thoroughly for about 30 minutes.
Use protective gloves to prevent contact with mercury and other lamp
components. Carefully remove spilled mercury with a method that prevents the
generation of mercury vapor, such as a syringe, packing tape or paper.
Place the broken lamp, mercury and contaminated materials in an air-tight,
non-metallic container. Dispose of the container in accordance with applicable
regulations.
