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, developer, and organic photoconductors 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.
The controller board in this machine contains a lithium battery.
The danger of explosion exists if a battery of this type is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or an equivalent type of battery recommended by the
manufacturer.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and local
laws and regulations.
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.
Turn off the main switch before attempting any of the procedures in the Laser Unit
section. Laser beams can seriously damage your eyes.
