system, or data. Attention notices are located throughout this publication,
but are not listed here.
Translations of the safety notices used in this library are found in IBM
Network Color Printer: Safety Information , G544-5352. This manual is
shipped with the printer and is provided with the maintenance
documentation.
Electrical Safety
This printer is inspected and listed by recognized national testing
laboratories, such as Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) in the U.S.A. and
Canadian Standards Association (CSA) in Canada. Listing of a product by a
national testing laboratory indicates that the product is designed and
manufactured in accordance with national requirements intended to minimize
safety hazards. IBM equipment meets a very high standard of safety in
design and manufacture. Remember, however, that this product operates
under conditions of high electrical potentials and heat generation, both of
which are functionally necessary.
Because the paper and toner used in the printer can burn, you should take
normal precautions to prevent fire. These precautions include common-
sense measures, such as keeping potentially combustible materials (for
example, curtains and chemicals) away from the printer, providing adequate
ventilation and cooling, limiting unattended operation, and having trained
personnel available and assigned to the printer.
Laser Safety
This printer complies with the performance standards set the by U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for a Class 1 Laser Product. This means that the
printer belongs to a class of laser products that does not produce hazardous
laser radiation in a customer access area. This classification was
accomplished by providing the necessary protective housing and scanning
safeguards to ensure that laser radiation is inaccessible or within Class 1
limits.
There are various tool-operated machine covers that should be moved,
removed, or replaced only by trained service personnel. There are no
operator controls or adjustments associated with the laser.
