Safety Notes
Your WorkCentre and supplies have been designed and tested to meet
strict safety requirements. These include safety agency examination and
approval and compliance to established environmental standards. Please
read the following instructions carefully before operating the WorkCentre
and refer to them as needed to ensure the continued safe operation of your
WorkCentre.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on or supplied with the
product.
Symbology:
= High Voltage,
!
= Warning
Unplug this WorkCentre from the wall outlet before cleaning. Always use
materials specifically designated for this WorkCentre. Use of other
materials may result in poor performance and could create a hazardous
situation.
Do not use aerosol cleaners. Follow the instructions in this User Guide for
proper cleaning methods. Always unplug from the electrical outlet prior to
cleaning.
Never use supplies or cleaning materials for purposes other than for which
they were intended. Keep all supplies and materials out of reach of
children.
Do not use this WorkCentre near water, wet locations, or outdoors.
Do not place this WorkCentre on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The
WorkCentre may fall, causing personal injury or serious damage to the
WorkCentre.
This product is equipped with a 3-wire grounding type plug (e.g., a plug
having a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. To avoid risk of electric shock,
contact your electrician to replace the receptacle if you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet. Never use a grounding adapter plug to connect the
WorkCentre to a power source receptacle that lacks a ground connection
terminal.
This WorkCentre should be operated from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
available, consult your local power company.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the
WorkCentre where persons will step on the cord.

Safety Notes
The ON/OFF switch does not electrically disconnect the machine from
the power supply. The power supply cord is the disconnect device for this
equipment. Insure that installation is near the outlet and is easily
accessible.
Your machine is equipped with an energy saving device to conserve
power when the machine is not in use. The machine may be left on
continuously.
Slots and Openings in the cabinet and in the back and sides of the
WorkCentre are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of
the WorkCentre and to protect it from overheating, these openings must
not be blocked or covered. The WorkCentre should never be located near
or over a radiator or heat register. This WorkCentre should not be placed
in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.
Never push objects of any kind into the slots of the WorkCentre as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts which could result in
a fire or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the WorkCentre.
Never remove covers or guards that require a tool for removal. There are
no casual operator serviceable areas within these covers.
Never defeat interlock switches. Machines are designed to restrict
operator access to unsafe areas. Covers, guards and interlock switches
are provided to ensure that the machine will not operate with covers
opened.
Use of an extension cord with this WorkCentre is not recommended
or authorized.
Avoid direct viewing of the document lights. The lamps are bright and,
while not harmful, they may cause an annoying afterimage. Always keep
the document cover closed during operation and storage.
If you need safety information concerning the WorkCentre Xi or Xerox
supplied materials, you may call the following toll-free number.
