Precautions; General Safety Precautions; Service Precautions - Xerox DocuPrint P8e Service Manual

5.1 Precautions

The three subsections below focus on three kinds of precautions important to service persons:
• General safety precautions needed by everyone using or handling the printer.
• Precautions needed by anyone servicing the printer.
• Additional service precautions specifically related to Electrostatically Sensitive Devices (ESDs).
Read each of these precautions carefully.

5.1.1 General Safety Precautions

1 Do not use this printer near water, or where any kind of liquid can spill on it, and do not expose it
to inclement weather.
2 Make sure the printer is on a stable surface, and that the surface is large enough to keep the
printer from being accidentally knocked to the floor.
3 The printer's ventilation slots are designed to prevent overheating. Make sure these slots are not
covered or blocked. Don't put the printer in any enclosure that doesn't permit full ventilation.
4 Never insert objects of any kind into the printer through the ventilation slots. Such objects may
touch dangerous high voltage points, causing electric shock, a short circuit, or a fire.
5 Use only a grounded / earthed power source. If you are not sure of the type of power available,
consult your dealer or the local power company.
6 Make sure no one can trip on the power cord or communication cable, and that no weight is
placed on them.
7 Avoid touching the surface of the photo-sensitive drum. The surface is easily marked, and any
scratch or mark can affect print quality.
8 Don't expose the print cartridge to direct light for long periods.
9 Follow the directions in Section 2, "Paper Specifications," on the proper choice of paper.
10 Before cleaning, disconnect the AC power. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol sprays.

5.1.2 Service Precautions

1 Before disassembly, disconnect the AC power.
2 Replace parts only with the same Xerox parts.
3 Pay attention to the proper orientation of parts when mounting or inserting them.
4 Pay particular attention to the Electrostatically Sensitive Device (ESD) precautions, since failure
to follow them can seriously damage the unit.
