Operational Safety
Your printer and supplies were designed and tested to meet strict safety requirements. These include
safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with established environmental standards.
Your attention to the following safety guidelines helps to ensure the continued, safe operation of your
printer.
Printer Location
• Place the printer on a level, solid, non-vibrating surface with adequate strength to hold the weight
of the printer. To find the weight for your printer configuration, see Physical Specifications on page
276.
• Do not block or cover the slots or openings on the printer. These openings are provided for
ventilation and to prevent overheating of the printer.
• Place the printer in an area where there is adequate space for operation and servicing.
• Place the printer in a dust-free area.
• Do not store or operate the printer in an extremely hot, cold, or humid environment.
• Do not place the printer near a heat source.
• Do not place the printer in direct sunlight to avoid exposure to light-sensitive components.
• Do not place the printer where it is directly exposed to the cold air flow from an air conditioning
system.
• Do not place the printer in locations susceptible to vibrations.
• For optimum performance, use the printer at elevations recommended in Elevation on page 280.
Operational Guidelines
• Do not remove the paper source tray that you selected using either the print driver or control panel
while the printer is printing.
• Do not open the doors when the printer is printing.
• Do not move the printer when it is printing.
• Keep hands, hair, neckties, and so on, away from the exit and feed rollers.

the protective covers.
• Ensure that the rear right cover is attached. Open this cover when connecting an interface cable.
