Safety information

Connect the power cord to a properly grounded electrical outlet that is near the product and easily accessible.

Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.

This product uses a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Monthly testing of the GFCI is recommended.

This product uses a printing process that heats the print media, and the heat may cause the media to release emissions.

You must understand the section in your operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for selecting print media

to avoid the possibility of harmful emissions.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The lithium battery in this product is not intended to be replaced. There is a

danger of explosion if a lithium battery is incorrectly replaced. Do not recharge, disassemble, or incinerate a

lithium battery. Discard used lithium batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local

regulations.

CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The inside of the printer might be hot. To reduce the risk of injury from a hot

component, allow the surface to cool before touching.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more

trained personnel to lift it safely.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Before moving the printer, follow these guidelines to avoid personal injury or

printer damage:

• Turn the printer off using the power switch, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

• Disconnect all cords and cables from the printer before moving it.

• Lift the printer off the optional drawer, and set it aside instead of trying to lift the drawer and printer at the same

time.

Note: Use the handholds located on both sides of the printer to lift it off the optional drawer.

Use only the power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacement.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce risk of fire, use only the telecommunications (RJ‑11) cord provided

with this product or a UL Listed 26 AWG or larger replacement when connecting this product to the public

switched telephone network.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: If you are accessing the system board or installing optional hardware or memory

devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the

wall outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well,

and unplug any cables going into the printer.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure that all external connections (such as Ethernet and telephone system

connections) are properly installed in their marked plug-in ports.

This product is designed, tested, and approved to meet strict global safety standards with the use of specific

manufacturer's components. The safety features of some parts may not always be obvious. The manufacturer is not

responsible for the use of other replacement parts.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not

subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between objects such as furniture

and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect the power cord regularly

for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet before inspecting it.

Refer service or repairs, other than those described in the user documentation, to a professional service person.

Safety information 12

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electric shock when cleaning the exterior of the printer, unplug

the power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect all cables from the printer before proceeding.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or

make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the fax feature, power cord, or telephone, during a lightning

storm.

CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor-mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must

use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using a high-capacity input tray, a duplex unit and an input

option, or more than one input option. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and

faxes, you may need additional furniture. For more information, see www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of equipment instability, load each paper drawer or tray

separately. Keep all other drawers or trays closed until needed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Selecting a location for the printer

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: The printer weight is greater than 18 kg (40 lb) and requires two or more

trained personnel to lift it safely.

When selecting a location for the printer, leave enough room to open trays, covers, and doors. If you plan to install any

options, then leave enough room for them also. It is important to:

• Set up the printer near a properly grounded and easily accessible electrical outlet.

• Make sure airflow in the room meets the latest revision of the ASHRAE 62 standard or the CEN Technical Committee

156 standard.

• Provide a flat, sturdy, and stable surface.

• Allow the following recommended amount of space around the printer for proper ventilation:

CAUTION—TIPPING HAZARD: Floor‑mounted configurations require additional furniture for stability. You must

use either a printer stand or printer base if you are using a high‑capacity input tray, a duplex unit and an input

option, or more than one input option. If you purchased a multifunction printer (MFP) that scans, copies, and

faxes, you may need additional furniture. For more information, see www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.
