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
