SAFETY INFORMATION

• Always use the Ilumina in a well

ventilated area. Allow enough room

around the Ilumina for adequate

ventilation and easy access to the paper

trays. If you place the Ilumina in an

enclosure, ensure it is properly ventilated.

• Do not use the Ilumina near water. Do not

spill any type of liquid into it.

• Be certain that your power source matches

the rating listed on the back of the Ilumina.

If you are unsure, contact your dealer or

local power company.

• Do not insert anything into the ventilation

slots on the Ilumina. You could cause an

electrical shock or electrical arcing, which

could cause a ﬁ re.

• Aside from the routine maintenance

described in the documentation, do not try

to service the Ilumina yourself. Removing

the cover may expose you to shocks or other

electrical hazards.

• For more information, please refer to the

USER'S GUIDE on the Documentation CD.

Do Not Use

• Heavily Coated Paper

• Embossed or Textured Paper

• Paper with Cutouts, Perforations,

Xanté highly recommends that all printing

be accomplished on pre-converted papers.

Converted sheet types Xanté is concerned

with include, but are not limited to:

scored, perforated, embossed, debossed,

ragged edge, textured, and foil papers.

These converted types of paper media

can cause difﬁ culties for the Ilumina.

Although printing on converted papers is

possible, doing so can limit the printer’s

performance.

Optimal ratings as quoted on the Ilumina

spec sheet will be impacted anytime

the user deviates from printing with the
