Minimizing Ozone Exposure

Almost all ozone concerns arise from abnormal site or
operating conditions. The following conditions may
generate an ozone complaint:
• installation of multiple laser printers in a confined
area
• extremely low relative humidity
• poor room ventilation
• the exhaust port of the printer is directed towards
the face of personnel
• long, continuous printing combined with any of
the above
Inspect your work environment for the operating
conditions listed above if you believe ozone emissions
are a problem in your area.
Some people may be ultra-sensitive to ozone odor. If
these situations are encountered, it is advisable to
position the printer away from the sensitive user.

Ozone Emissions

Laser printers and photocopiers generate ozone gas
(O3) as a by-product of the electrophotographic
process. Ozone is only generated while the printer is
printing.

UL Standards for Ozone

The only existing standard for ozone emissions has
been established by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All
SuperScript 660 family printers meet this standard
when shipped from the factory to our customers.

EPA Energy Star Computers Award

The NEC SuperScript 660plus meets the requirements
of the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star
Computers program for printers. The purpose of this
program is to promote the manufacturing and
marketing of energy-efficient office automation
equipment, thereby potentially reducing combustion-
related pollution.
Your SuperScript 660plus, as shipped from the factory,
has this feature disabled to improve the first page out.
You may change this time period to any interval
between 1 to 30 minutes if you wish.
Some additional tips for saving energy are:
1. Use the "Print Preview" function if it is available
in your application software.
2. Use the "Manual Duplex" feature to print on both
sides of the paper.
